MARINE COURT.
Another Policeman I'm Trouble.
Before Judge Alker and q Jury,

Hoonev Us. Garsdnd.-This was an action brought
by plaintiff for alleged assault and battery com.
mitted on him BY defendant. In which he laid his
damages at $500. The plaintiff testified that In NAV.
1867, while engaged IN the discharge Of his duty a.
private watch man, In Duane street. the defendant
assaulted him BY striking him several times with
his club, from tho enecs OF which ne bled profusey
from the cuts on his head, the marks OF which are
still apparent In this statement the plaintin was
corroborated By . respectable merchant, who was
passing by and saw the afYair. The defence set up
was that platntin was interfering with the duties OF
the police by examining store doors after they had
examined them, and on the occasion which resulted
In the alleged assault and battery was following the
defendant and examining the doors after he had ex-
amined them, when he reprimanded the plaintiff
but which reprimand was not respected with
that submissive meekness which characterizes
bows at school, when their preceptor frowns on
them but resented by grabbing hold OF the club OF
the ofcer and trying to relevc him OF It. The de-
fendant admitted the assault but pleaded self
deience-that he was compelled TO strike the PLAIN
tir IN sef-defehce because he observed him putting
his hand IN his pocket from which act he inferred
the possibility OF helng either shot or stabbed. Mr..
John Flanagan Of the law firm OF Flanagan Cross
elaborately summed up on the part OF the plninn
after which the Jury rendered verdict for paintr
IN the sum OF $500.

Important Question as to What Constitutes a
Delivery of n Deed Upon Voluntary Settle
m0pt by a Father Upon His Daughter.
Before Judge Clerke.
Mary Ann Henry, Erecutrir, &C., Of Patrick
Hevv, Deceased Us. Caroline y. Fe0p,es.-This &C.
tion was brought by the plaintiff as executrix. &C..
OF Patrick Henry, to nave declared invalid and in
operative an assignment OF lease OF premises No.
LIS Leonard street, which was executed by Mr.. Henry
to his daughter Caroline in October 1885, This paper
was signed by Mr.. Henry in the presence OF q wit
ness, Mr.. James Mckee, and acknowledged before
the witness as notary public who attested the
same as having been ''Sealed and detveredn before
him. 1t was found among the papers OF Mr.. Henry
after his decease In 1867. 1t appeared that the de-
ceased In 1865 had made conveyances to all Of his
children OF all OF his property and that the defendant
resided in Montreal The deeds to the other children
were delivered. they being residents OF the city OF
New York.
Messrs. Richard O'Gorman and VIM. J. Kane, on
behalf OF the defendant, c0ntended that the execu-
ton OF the assignment by Mr.. Henry, his acknOw-
Judgement before the witness that it was executed,
sealed and delivered, was sufficient to sustain
1t as voluntary settlement In equity, aud that
for his daughter; that the intention OF the granter
was evident on the face Of the paper, and that he
considered 1t delivered; that there had been fair
and equitable distribution and settlement by Mr..
Henry OF his property, and that the court should
not disturb that settlement.
Messrs Davis Edsall. on the part OF the plaintiff
claimed that there should be an actual delivery TO
sustain the assignment.
The Court reserved It's decision.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SATURDAY March 20-8 p. N.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks was
so much more favorable than expected that 1t took
the street completely By SURPRISE 1t was supposed
that the conservative policy which these institutions
have been pursuing since the passage OF the law
abolishing quarterly statements, together with the
large demand from the country banks for currency,
would result IN an exhibit Of decrease in the item
Of loans and legal tenders reduction in the item OF
specie was expected as sequence OF the heavy I'm
ports Of the week; but there " corresSive increase
instead OF decrease in the item Of deposits which is
also unaccountable. II not puzzng. The deductions
from the statement that the shipments OF currency
from the South have largely exceeded the shipments
Of currency 10 the Northern country banks. The
South, it should be remembered, has few banks, 80
that the dow OF currency from that direction would
receive perceptible check from the general dis
position which has been manifested to make ready
against the statement which the Comptroller may on
any day call for. The statement. however, Is only
favorable by comparison with what was expected.
The loss OF legal reserve. it viii be perceived Is
little over $1,oO0.Ooo. The totals Of the last two

The following are the direrences:

The money market was spasm0dic and differently
reported In different quarters The uneasiness among
borrowers at the outset created demand which
was generally met at seven per cent gold interest,"
although government houses and favored customers
were accommodated ut the same rate In currency.
AS the afternoon progressed 1t became evident that
money was more abundant than conJectured, and
few balances for the two days. interest to Monday
were placed at higher figure than seven per cent,
while instances are reported at six. Commercial
paper continued dull.
Governments continued heavy and nuctuated
within narrow limits, closing 'off'' from the best
figures OF the day. The foreign bankers are still la
boring under the dicuy Of dlsposng OF their bills,
and thus bereft the market Of their support, while
the speculative interest Is temporarily checked by
the apprehension or stringency in the money
market. The news from London was also unfavor
