New YORK, June IL, 1853.
To The Editor of the National Era:
closed my account Of the Trainer case IN
my last, with bare statement of the fact that
an injunction had been prayed for, and grant
ed by Judge Barculo of the Supreme Court of
New York. The injunction was temporary
one, looking to the dernicr resort of slow
and expensive suit in Chancery for the recov-
cry Of possession of the child by her father
from the hands of her present ungody custo-
dian. Judge Barculo, when the parties came
before him, to respond to the prayer for the
injunction, which was designed to prevent the
removal of the child from New York, limited
his surprise that shorter process had. not
been resorted to, and the probability that his
decision would have been the very opposite Of
that of Judge Duer, which was based on the
shallow pretence of want of jurisdiction, as
you will remember, and further encouraging
the idea of another habeos corpus writ. Hon.
+. d. Culver, counsel for the father of the
child, with that tact and energy which has al
ways characterized him, but especially in this
tedious and tortuous case, Immediately took
the hint, and prayed a new habeas corpus,
which was granted, with a short return. The
officers charged with its execution started
towards the discharge of their duty in SEEM
ing good faith. These were, Mr.. Hegeman, as
deputy to sheriff Orser, of Kings county, and
deputy sheriff Cromley, of this city. But the
case suddenly took new phase showing n
most extraordinary defiance of law and judi
clal authority. At late hour on Tuesday
night, Mr.. Hegeman returned and related his
adventures substantially as follows:
"We two officers proceeded to No. 1OI Mer-
Ger street, and there arrested the child, and
then extended the privilege to Rose Cooper to
accompany it in the carriage TO the office of
James T. Brady, Esq. The arrest was made
about ~ O'Clock, after which the parties went
to the Office of Mr.. Brady, in Warren street.
Thence the carriage was despatched for Cap
tain Rynders, who soon made his appearance,
and within half an hour some fifty or sixty
persons congregated about the corner of
Church and Warren streets point cOntigu-
Gus TO the Office of Mr.. Brady. At this time
Mr.. Hegeman, the deputy sheriff of Kings
county, insisted upon taking the child forth
with before the Judge in BROOKLYN, but was
resisted by Sheriff Orser's deputy, who had
the writ Of habeas corpus and the warrant in
his possession, and who refused 10 give him
custody Of the child. At this iuncturc the
powers delegated to the BROOKLYN deputy
sheriff were revoked by the sheriff of New
York, who had granted them"
Upon a statement of these facts by Hege-
man, the Kings county deputy sheriff, Judge
Barculo Issued attachments against Rose Coo.
per- Isaiah Rynders, and Mr.. Cromley, New
York deputy sheriff, returnable next morning.
Captain Rynders was now in position OF
awowed and defiant connection with this case,
as he has been all the while in a less defiant
and open way. He took good care, however,
to respond to tho writ for his arrest, by his
personal presence in court, on Thursday, and
made an apology-thus showing that he osti-
mated the determination Of Judge Barculo to
deal with him according to his demeapor, and
came to the conclusion that discretion was the
better part of vaior even for Captain Rynders.
His apology was, that he was led by the Off
GERS to the inference that Judge Barculo AZ Q
judge sitting in Brooklyn, had no Jurisdiction
here He got off with severe reprimand
which will be OF somo service TO him, it is
hoped.
