JUNE 27.-Ine People of the State of New York
rs. The General Mutual Insurance Co.of New York
The complaint in this case is for the same relief
as that in the case Of the People vs.. The Alliance
Mutual Insurance Company.
DECIsIoN-The popularity in this case is that the
company have not yet been dissolved. 1t appears
that the preliminary step has been made by Justice
Clerke, referring It to q referee to summon the
parties interested, to show cause why it should not
be dissolved The time expires on the 14th of June.
The objection taken to the granting of an injunc-
tion In this action is, that the officers and company
are already virtually forbidden to part with any
portion Of the property for any transfer or pay
ment would be void if made after the order of re-
ference; but it would not be sufficient to prevent the
people having the additional personal remedy of
proceeding as for contempt for violating an injunc
ton. II, however, the present proceeding results
in an order for dissolution, and appointment of a
receiver, the complaint would have to be amended
by making him party, and renewing the injunc-
ton as to him. Perhaps the company should then
no longer appear upon the record. suggest that
the application be suspended till that result. II
preferred, however, the order must be made as
prayed except as to proceedings necessary to obtain
the dissolution Of the company and appointment Of
receiver.

On motion Of Edmon Blankman and F. Park, at.

JUNE 27.-Mary Paddock us. John Orssr, Sheriff.
The assignment alleged in the complaint is not q
thing in action but of the goods and chattes them
Selves and it is for their value that the action ap
pears to have been brought. Under the former
system, the original owner would have an action Of
trover, of trespass de bons aportas, without show
ing demand; but where the property which has
been afterwards assigned, in order to create a con-
version or wrong, as against the assignee, demand
and refusal must be proved because at the time of
the conversion the plaintiff must have had a COM
plete property, either general or special, in the
goods in order, therefore, to establish conversion
against the assignee, he must allege demand and
refusal after he became entitled to the possession Of
the property. Judgment, therefore, for the defen-
dant on demurrer, with liberty to the plaintiff to
amend on payment of $40 costs.

A CHELOR'S SONG,

Oh, no! never mention it.
dare not breathe the name,
A bachelor I've always been,
Aud would remain the same;
But jokes on jokes you play on me,
To make me change my lot;
But when you win the truth from me,
say "l'd rather not!'
You bid me seek, in married life,
The charms that others see.
But were now married man,
You'd find no Joy in me;
'Tis true that can call no more
On those oft have met.
do not grace their parties now,
But how can regret?
For o! there are so many things
Recall the past to me,
The pleasure of single life
So happy, calm aud free.
The JOY I've known in flirting with
All maidens young and fair;
Aye, each coquette look upon,
Invites me to beware!
You tell me married men are now
The gayest of the gay
You hint that bachelors are fools!
heed not what you say.
Like me, perchance, you struggle
With a feeling OF despair;
But if you'd live as I would'live,
A married life forswear.
