ESCAPES FROM SING SING PRISON.

Despite the precautions exercised by the authors
ties at Sing Sing Prison, the escape OF convicts Of
both sexes has of late been unusually conspicuous,
SIX males and two females having succeeded in
getting away during the past two months. Not
many days since notorious highway robber, named
Austin S. Davis, who was acting engineer IN the
culinary department, after maturing his plans,
made his exit through sewer, TO which he
gained access by penetrating the floor OF the
kitchen. In order to facilitate his escape from the
nelghDornood Davis appropriated an old suit OF
clothes belonging TO one OF his Keepers. This man
was one or the principal leaders in the memorable
revots OF lasr year. on which occasion owing to his
desperate character, 1t was found necessary Sc
cure him with chains IN his cell. The
colored man, whose escape during Friday
night was mentioned In HERALD OF yes
terday, was named James Best, and was
employed in the agents apartments. lie was
always regarded as being contented with his lot,
and was certainly looked upon as the last man III
the prison who would take advantage or any oppor.
tunity Offering ultimate freedom. Being an old
steamboat hand, Best manned one OF the State
boats and taking single oar with which TO steer
or perhaps SOUL, cOnided himself to the Of
the Hudson river ana has doubtless long ere thus

Another Collision Case-Decision Of Judgo
Benedict.
Peter LlDndn Us. The Steam Propeller j. L.
Hns5rouck, dc.-This action was brought to recover
the value Of the sloop Venus ana her cargo which
vessel was sunk by collision in the Hudson river
on the night OF the eth OF November, 1869. The
locality OF the coll ision was OF West Point where
the river makes two sharp turns LII quick succession
one at Magazine Point, above, aud the other AT
West Point, below. The time Of the collision was
midnight and the tide was running strong cbb
The HasbrUuck was q propeller bound up the
river at speed OF from eevcl TO eight knots, and
the Venus was sloop bound down the river with
cargo OF stone The vessels came In contact little
below the light at West Point the bowsprt OF the
soop striking the port SIDE OF the propeller square
blow nearly at right angles, and the sloop was so
much injured that she sank Immediately. No other
vessels were passing at the time, Both vessels dis
played their regular lights The allegation OF the
iitelant Is that The steamer approached the soop
and was hailed and requested TO go under the soops
stern but, Instead OF doing so attempted TO cross
her bows, engaging and tearing out the bowsprit,
and thus sinking the schooner
The respondents answer Is to the effect that the
sloop was sailing across the river and that she had
hot enough canvas set, and that she was lily man
hged, and While the steamer lying still for fear
81 running INTO the schooner the latter struck the
Judge Benedict delivered a lengthy opinion in the
case reclting the incident OF the collision and set
navigation OF lhe river. he finds That 1t was the
duty OF the schooner to have allowed The steamer 10
pass her 10 the eastward but mat this she did moi
40, DOth vessels being over on the east
side OF the river when the collision took
place. The schooner Was therefore IN fault
provided she had good breeze, a. the ale.
gaLlon sets forth. A sailing vessel does not hold
hefcourse Within tie meaning OF the law when with
out cause she changes rom the west TO the east side
OF the river rounding West Point. The question OF
the wind thus became material case but is proven
by the testimony OF many Witnesses TO have been
quite brisk The act OF the schooner IN negiecting
to keep her proper course when she mad a snicient
breeze cannot be Justified
The question Of the liability OF the propeller Ia
also discussed but the court fail 10 find that any
negligence was shown, a. The people on board OF
her had right to suppose that the sailing vessel
would keep her course. Ihe testimony In regard to
the ssowing or the lights OF he schooner Is faly
gone into and the court finally come TO the ccnclu-
son tLat TIE collision in question was not caused by
any iault on the part OF the propeller and accord
angy the libel must be dismissed, with costs to be
taxed.
