large number OF cases were disposed Of yester-
day by Marshal Tooker. Among the interesting
ones was that of hackman who had charged lady
three dollars In specie for being conveyed from the
Inman dock to her hotel. The Marshal obliged the
Jarvie to refund the difference between one dollar
in currency and three dollars in specie and pay in
addition thereto fine Of ten dollars. The cOachie
found the evidence hard against him, and as the
penalty imposed Will probably prove to have salu
tary effect his and license number for the

against employers for attempting to defraud hired
persons out OF money actually due them. Marshal

the matter This style Of doing business the Marshal
said was an old Catharlne street dodge and was
practiced whenever smart st0rekeepers got hold Of
people who they thought could not reckon as well
they themselves could. The Marshal suggested that
as the cOmplainants had evidently been mIs.ed, and
he did not believe they, judging from their appear

were not strictly correct the storekeepers should
Just give back the money and the ladies return the
goods.

anything of the We amt goin' for 10 cut
goods for every ION, Dick and Harry that comes
along to lose by 1t; I'll sell them. I'll bring 1t in
some other court; that's what I'll do.
The young Hbernian after getting OF the above
splurge started ut brisk gait away from the desk.
Marshal Tooker called him back and was evidently
very much angered at the impudent style Of talk and
bearing OF the defendant, and said to him:-Now,
before you run on In that style, want you to
derstand just what say to you. I'll give you
another court: perhaps than You barganed for.
want you to take these goods back and give these
ladies their money, and want no impudence from
you in regard TO the matter.
The young man seemed TO think that he had dis

matter with the Marshal; but the latter shut him up
by saying he wanted no back talk ut ALL and calling
TO OF the detectives on duty IN the ONCE. he
ordered him TO go with the ladies' and that their
money was refunded aud the matter settled.

Mr. Allen proved the assignment in bankruptcy,
by introducing copy OF the assignment IN pank-
ruptcy made in New Orleans duly certlued by the
Clerk of the United States District Court OF Louis
lana, under the seal OF that court, which mode OF
proof was strictly In accordance with the Bankrupt
act.
Dudley Field, for the defence contended that this
certificate OF bankruptcy by law that was uncon-
stitutional and could not be received IN evidence
That under the constitution Congress could not pre-
scribe the mode OF proof for the state courts OF pro-
ceedlngs In United States courts. That Congress,
by the act Of 1885, had and could prescribe the man
ner OF receiving in evidence the proceedings OF the
courts in one State In the courts Of another state.
But Congress was silent as to how proceedings OF
United States courts should be authenticated for the
courts OF the several States That the Bankrupt act
therefore, IN prescribing how an assignment In bank
ruptcy should be proven in the State courts to wit
by the certificate Of the clerk, was unconstitutional.

much In 1t worth considering; but that, after the
argument had, he should admit the proof and leave
