FIcTITIors OFyIcgRs.-Two practitioners at tbs
.IefTer-on Market Police Court named John Hurley
and j. It. Brown were taken into custody yesterday
by Policemen III omas and Coix, on charge Of grand
larceny. The circumstances Of the case are rather
peculiar. Hurley il a would-be-constable and Brown
an as2irant for legal fame. Harvey u. Dodworth Of
No Astor place deposed that he was music pub
Usher and had composition zinc plates at the stores
Of different engravers ard printers. Among the print
ers with whom deponent deposited his plates was
George w. Ackerman Of No. 50 Mercer street. On
Saturday morning, as deponent is informed, John
Hurley and j. T. Brown went to said bouse OF Acker-
man, under preense Of having some execution against
said Alderman, and levied the property OF Acker-
man. and also upon the plates and other property be-
longing to complainant.
A iourneymaD in the store Informed Hurley that
the property did not belong 10 Mr. Alderman, where
upon the prisoners returned the plates. On the morn
ing of the following Monday, however, the
prisoners paid second visit 20 Ackerman's pre-
misses and after breaking in the door, carried
off all the property in gliding $1,000 worth be-
longing to Mr.. Dodworth, and secreted it.
Hurley subsequently offered to restore the property
but his offer was refused Mrs Corberie, of No. BIG
Lexington avenue, alleges that the parties came
to her house and levied on and carried of $500 worth
of property belonging TO her. 1t is claimed that, al
though Hurley was elected a constable las, Fall, he
has complied with the requirements Of the law,
and consequently is qualified to act SUCH Justice

Elder Knapp, during the whole PERIOD accus-

every other evening in the week, except, perhaps on
Saturday evening Beside this, he held prayer meet

he had inquiry meetings, baptsms, aud other con-

his grotesque style of preaching. One Baptist clergy
limited him the propriety Of change of manner
by saying i think you would do good, brother,
if Won would leave out more of jacob Knapp and put
in more of Christ Why answered the veteran
evangelist instantly, IF should leave the Knapp out
