In respect 70 the question made on Friday, ~ TO
whether the Solicitor or the counsel for the petit
toner should hold the affirmative on a general
demurrer, the Court resolved that the opening and
closing belonged to the Solicitor. The Court also
resolved that brief in such cases would not be
required
The Court announced the following modification
Of the I'd rule That the petition, before being
filed by the clerk and entered in his general dock
ct, must be sworn to by the claimants or, where
there Is more than one claimant, by one of them,
or IN either case, by some credible person.
The motions to strike out parts Of certain petit
tons filed by the Solicitor had not yet been con-
sidered by the Court.
Mr.. Stanton inquired if the Court had disposed
Of the motions for requisition upon the Secretary
Of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives for papers on file in their Offices?
Judge Gichrist remarked that it was very evil
dent that it would be found necessary to modify
In some respects the act of Congress organizing
the court As the act now stands, he did not un-
dcrstand the terms used in relation to the Depart
ments applicable to the Secretary of the Senate
or the Clerk OF the House Of Representatives. The
notions therefore, for acquisitions upon them for
papers on file in their Offices were overruled.
ANOTHER BURaLARy.--The tailoring establish
ment of Mr. Il. c. Ecklof, on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue, near the corner of Ninth
street. was entered on Saturday night, and large
quantity Of goods and clothing stolen therefrom.
Mr.. E. left the premises on Saturday night about
eleven o'clock, and fastened the doors and win
dows in the usual manner. About eight o'clock
on Sunday went to the store to procure an article
Of dress, which he had forgotten the evening be-
fore, and found the door open. The thieves were
heard by some persons in the upper portion of the
house, but no alarm was given. Mr.. EckloR can
not yet say what viii be the amount of his loss or
the value of the things taken. There was a con-
siderable quantity Of custom work 10 the store
The small cigar and tobacco store next door was
also entered, probably through back door lead
ing from Mr.. Ecklotf' q back room. The boxes
containing cigars tied up in bundles, were empted
Of some two hundred aud fifty dollars worth of
those lu1uries, and the fancy articles contained in
a glass case, including port monnaies, &C., were
appropriated. Captain Birch, assisted by officers
Boss, Handy, and others, were diligently employed
yesterday in endeayoring to discover the perpe-
traitors of the crime but their efforts have not yet
been attended with success.
They have, however, made an attack upon the
neighborhood of disreputable houses on Seventh
street. near the canal, known as Cat-tail Row, and
some Developments may yet be made. The oc-
cupants Of one Of the houses arrested for sell
ing liquor without license.
This Is the second tailoring establishment which
has suffered lately in this manner, and this would
seem TO indicate that as the same kind Of goods
were preferred by the thieves, they must have
some special manner of disposing of them, and
that therefore both stores were entered by the
same gang. The cleaning out Of the cigar store
was probably pcrpetrated by the rascals more to
supply themselves with Injuries than In the strict
line Of business.

consequence.
