THE ERIE RAILROAD TROUBLES.
1n the Supreme Court, to-day, before Judge
Sutherland, the case OF Belmont VS.. the Erie
Railroad and Jay Gould, having been called,
motion was made by counsel for the defence
for postponement of the settlement of the order
for receiver. This was refused. Almost eve
ry clause in the order as submitted was OBJ
lected and several phrases were struck out. A
preliminary point as to the effect of Judge
Barnards stay OF proceedings on the settle
nent was settled by Judge Sutherland's hold
ing that it could not interfere between making
OF an order and its settlement. The order as
hnally settled declares Judge Davis receiver
Of the Erie Company, defines his duties, and |
orders all persons holding funds, property, |
books papers, &C., belonging to said Corpora |
ton, to deliver the same to him, and recognize |
his authority. 1t also provides for the pay |
ment by tie receiver of the expenses necessary
to carry on the road, and requires him to make |
out list of all the stock of the Company, with |
the amount of funds in his hands, and to keep
accurate accounts of his transactions with the
road. The directors and other officers are di-
rected to refrain from interference with him.
Daniel Hawley is appointed referee.

plaintiffs moved another order vacating the
stay OF proceedings granted by Judge Barnard,

ceiver taking possession of the ferries, rail |

and other roads and ferries be suspended
till decision OF general term upon appeal taken
from tie said order appointing said receiver,

tors and officers of said company by legal pro-
ceedings for accounts of the earnings and
