ANewspaper Botch.-T heNew York Tiaqss,
and the telesraphic correspondents for other
papers, are making q foolish bo'ch Of the qnes
ton Just decided In the Superior Court at New
York In the case Of Durand sgainat Rollins
It Is to DO remembered that Durand brings an
action against Capt. Hollips on the ground
hat he ID had property at Greytown which
was destroyed there under the general orders
OF Capt. Hollins Durand is citizen Of New
York, and Hollins is not, and, Of course, it is
the right of Capt Rollins, under the Cons,itu-
ton and the Judiciary act, to have the case
transferred from the State Court to the United
States Court, provided he claims the right on
his first appearance in the State Court Ac
cordingly. Mr.. McKeon. u. s District Attor
ney. in behalf of Capt. Hollias, made the mo-
ton before Judge Bosworth of the Superior
Court Upon this Durand the plaintiff
Timss-very politely objected that Capt. Hol.
Inns had lost this right by giving bail for his
appearance at the time he was arrested, at the
suit of Durand. 1t was ridiculous for Durand' s
counsel to pretend that when citizen of
another State is snapped up in the city of
New York on q process which requires hin,
TO appear at some future day and to give
bail for such appearance, that the giving
such bail is itself the appearance contem-
plated BY the judiciary act. If such were
held to be the .aw, there would be an end in
New York to all the legal rights of citizens of
| other States. Judge Bosworth has very prop
erly granted the motion, and the case is &C
cordingy now transferred to the Courts of the
United States. @ 4tf"
The Accounts Of amuel Davidson King,
Esq.-We understand that the immediate
friends Of this gentleman IN Washington, on
learning the state of his account with the
Government, as shown by the books Of the
Treasury, promptly determined to deposite the
amount claimed to be dus ($l2,400) in the
Treasury to the credit of his account, so that
it (the accounD can be finally settled without
the slightest embarrassment to Mr.. <, who
being altar of, is probably as Jet unaware
that any such balance appears to be due from
him. -
