of Sidney, New South Wales, have COM
menced in the United States Circuit Court
against John A. McGlynn and others, for the

heirs at law. That they, Mary Riley, Ann
Wilson, and Ellen Lynch, are the daughters
of Catherine Broderick that she was the on
y sister Of Thomas Broderick, who was the
father of David. That the said Catherine
BroGerick was twice married, and had nine
children, all of whom are dead with the ex-
ception of the plaintiffs. That on the I'd Of
February, 1860, John A McGlynn and Others
presented 10 the Probate Courta paper, which
they pretended was the last will and testa-
ment of D. G. Broderick, and which the
plaintiffs allege to be forgery, and not as
pretended. They also allege that this paper
was written after the death of Broderick,
by one Alfred A. Philips, and that the
name of David c. Broderick was signed by
one Moses Flanagan, and that the defendants
caused certain persons who were supposed to
be experts, to testify as to the genuineness
of the signature, and by so doing the will
was admitted to probate, and Andrew j. But
Ter and John A. McGlynn appointed execu-
tors, and through them, and by permission
of the Probate Court, claims to the amount of

proceedings iE the Probate Court, until De-
cember, 1866, and since that time have been
endeavoring to discover the truth of the mat
ter, and now pray that the property may be

General Schenck has received memorial
from the Working Mems Union, in New York,
which exhibits much ability in its preparation,
recommending the following propositions to the
attention of Congress;
First-To either compel street railway COM
panies Tn pay the internal revenue tax Of one
eighth cent per passenger bv deducting il from
the legal fare Of five cents, or Ia pay the whnlc
Of one cent extra, which they collect from the
passenger. The legal fare is five cents and the
tx one-eighth Of a cent. To collect the one
eighth of a cent the Government allow. the COM
panies to collect seven-eighths from the pass
spger, which makes the regulation of great bene-
fit to the companies, instead of n tax. The
memorial alleges that 70 900 900 are made an
nually by the New York companies out Of this
tax alone.
Second-To aboli sh the five-cent STAMP duty
On pawnbrokers' tickets, which has to be paid
by each psnner aud therefore comes out Of the
most destitute classes.
Third--To cuin one-half cent pieces, and
and half cent pieccs. fur the poorer classes.
The petition sets furth a reason for this re-
quest that grocery aud ether dealers fix the
price of their articles per pound, or quart, or
dozen, nr peck, at an odd number of cents, as,
say, twenty-five cents for pound of anything
If the poor man wants half pound, he is charg
cd thirteen cents for il. not being able to make
change for half Of pound. He is charged
saren cents for a quarter for the same reason i.
The memorial has been referred tn the ways
and Means Committee, and will be duly, and Il
| Is beliysd favOrably. acted upon.
