soldiers Families Asking Relief

About two hundred women, the wivos Of sell
iicrr, assembled yesterday morning in Avenue
A and Tompkin's Square, with no especial or
ganizaiion or object other than to demand relief
from the authorities. After u great deal OF
clamorous talking, about fifty of them marched
down to tho Mayors and Comptrolor's offices.
where they learned that they could not receive
anything before the First of january. Many OF
the women act most imprudcn'ly, visiting tho
houses of officials and the public offices, and using
threats and foul language, which make the in
teri, renee Of policemen necessary. The Mayor
has signed the relief hill, which is in tho hands
Of the Comptroller, and at tho earliest possible
day, the desired, and no doubt, much needed
money will be distributed.

AcrIoS AGAINST ruK SHEmrF.-An action
brought by Mrs. Agues A. CASTOR against
Sheriff Campbell, in tho City Court, resulted
yesterday in a verdict Of $50 in favor OF the
plaintiff. The question involved was whether
the Sheriff had eNortCd due diligence In an at
tempt TO execute a writ Of attachment, slso to
what extent a soldier is exempt from civil pro
cess. Tho plaintiff commenced an action against
her husband for a divorce, and in April last the
Court made an order directing the husband to
pay her 20 per week alimOny, and $50 to ona-
bic her 10 prosecute the suit. Castor held n
licutenants commission in the iith Regiment
and went TO the seat Ci war, paying no attention
to the order of the Court. A subsequent order
was issued, requiring the Sheriff TO attach the
body Of Castor, which was not executed. Tn.
answer to the writ was that CASTOR had LOT,
Brooklyn before tho return day OF the proceas;
that he was irrcsponsblc insolyent, &c. Th'
present suit was brought to recover the alimony
| and other allowances ordered by tho Court
which tho Sheriff failed to collect. The defense
was that CASTOR was not liable to arrest on any
civil process, as the law provides that mo per
| son belonging 20 the military force shall I've ar
rested on any civil process, while going to, re.
naming at, or returning from any place a
which he ia required to attend" Sc. The jury
by their verdict decided that soldier is llabl
| 10 arrest.

Tho trial Of Charles M. Joffords for tho muir
der Of Mr. John W. Matthews, by shooting on
the Goth Of June last, was commenced yester-
day, and some witnesses who had testified on
his former trial, woro examined, but no new
facts Of Importance were elected.
Tho following arc the names Of tho jury ON
panneled Edward w. Ketchum, Nathan Wor-
ley, VIM. II. Ticc, Richard w. Hsndrckson,
Otto II. kopp, Abraham ID. W. Burton, Alonzo

II. Foster, ll.J. Morgan Thos. NJ. LOWS, John

the attention OF tho Court up TO the hour OF ad-
journment.
The trial Of James Killcry for tho murder OF
his wife, Ivy beating hor with q stick, while she
was e1cicnte, was concluded and resulted in his
acquittal AID discharge.
The supremo Court.
A somewhat interesting caso came up in this
court yesterday, being an action of Peter Lynch
against Henry Dischoff, to compel real estate
sale for $4,000 Of tho property i6 Elm street,
which Lynch claims was sold to him by the de-
fendant, Bischoi, in September last, but which
salo the defendant has Refused to complete by
deed.
The statute law specifics that all verbal con-
tracts simply for the sale of real estate arc in.
valid, and Il will bo interesting to propert,
holders 10 know whether, in such case, tho Law
would bird them to a verbal salo.
The defence set up was, that at the time the
contract was entered into, plaintiffs agent made
misrcprcs cntations, by giving defendant TO un
dcrstar In substance that the Supreme Court
had not confirmed tho proceeding to widen
Worth street, and would not do so for years,
hen in point of fact the decision confirming
such proceedings had boon rendered tho day bc-
fore. Dee ieion reserved.
