FROM NEW YORK.
The Erie Iitiration.

hC
New YoRk, April s-The various suits
in the Erie litigation came up before the Su-
preme Court, general term, to-day, on ap-
peal from the order suspending Mr.. Drew
from several I'M unctionS, and from orders
appointing a Receiver. Z-~E
Mr.. .Burrell opened the case in an argd-
ment against the legality of the appoint
ment of OSgood as Receiver, contending
that the convertible bonds were authorized.
by the general railroad act of 1850, and that
the action.of the Erie directors was sane
toned by that of other companies, includ-
ing the New York Central and Hudson as
to proceeds of stock.
The appointment of Receiver was erron-
eous, because the stock was in the hands of
innocent third parties, while even were it
Illegally issued and the proceeds in the
hands of the Company, no cause would
exist for the appointment of a Receiver on
these grounds. Defendants demanded a
reversal OF the order. with costs.
Mr.. Rapallo and Mr.. O'Connor replied
for the Vanderbilt party, contending that
the stock was fraudulently issued, that a
large sum was improperly obtained there
from, and the order for a Receiver should
be made permanent. ..r ..- s---l
Mr.. Field continues the argument to-
morrow for the appellants. zaH.d tlB
In the case of Schell VS.. the Erie Co..
before Judge Barnard, the answers of Jay
Gould to the attachment for violation, OF

edge of the issue of $4,000 shares of stock
in blank. They were made by officers OF
the company before the injunction, and
that the executive committee issued coll
vertable bonds to the extent of $l0,000000,
half of which passed into the hands of
Groesbeck s. Co., and half to Daniel Drew.
Some evidence on the subject was submit
ted. but no conclusion reached.
