In the United States District Court yesterday
John w. Cosgrove was brought before Judge Blatch-
ford on a writ Of habeas corpus to obtain his dis
charge from the army on the ground that he was
but seventeen years of age when he enlisted. The
Judge ordered him to be discharged.
In the United States Circuit Court yesterday the
Grand Jury brought in indictments against the fol-
lowing persons :-Alred II. Phillips, for embezzling
letters from the Post once; Abraham seg, for
making false returns in the manufacture OF cigars;
George Parsons for shipping fireworks Illegally;
Joseph B. Purdy, for the same orence. The Grand
Jury were discharged for the term.
Yesterday Edward Dycer, who is charged before
Commissioner Shields with having passed q 800
counterfeit bill In house up town. and VINO has
been out on bail Of 1000, was surrendered by his
sureties, the latter dreadng that Dycer would run
away. rf
Yesterday Commissioner Belts had before him
the case OF Nathaniel G. Hayes, who has been in
dicted in Connecticut Tor stealing quantity OF
postage stamps from the Post ONCE of Wallingford
The defendant was arrested In this city on requl
stion from the authorities of Connecticut for his re-
moval to that State, there to answer the accusa-
tion that has been brought against him. On the
argument defendants counsel raised the point that
postage stamps were not property; but this point
was ruled against by Judge Blatchford. The COM
missioner has held the defendant for removal to
Connecticut.
In the United States Circuit Court yesterday
Judge woodruff heard an argument, on a writ OF
error, to determine whether H. @. Whitley, Chief
OF the Secret service Department, or man named
Emond is entitled, as in1ormer, to share Of one
fourth Of $4,000 the latter being the value OF
quantity OF diamonds smuggled into this port more
than year ago from England by one A. G. Rad
clne. The Judge, having heard the arguments,
took the papers and reserved his decision.
The car hook tragedy has again been revived in
the public memory. 1t now presents itself in new
shape and one in no way affecting the interest or
fate Of Foster who still fingers in his prison cell
awaiting new trial. The widow Of Avery d. Put
nam, whom Foster Is charged with killing, has
brought suit before Judge Curtis, of the Superior
Court against the Seventh Avenue Railroad Com
pany for $4,000 damages for the killing OF her hus
band. This suit came to trial yesterday, and after
the testimony had been submitted on Mrs. Put
nams behalf motion was made by the counsel Of
the railroad to dismiss the complaint. This motion
was argued at length and the Judge will render his
decision this morning.
At length the long drawn ont Rose McCabe case
has about reached its dnality. Judge sedgwick,
of the Superior Court, having at the various pro-
tracted sessions heretofore partially listened to
the protracted evidence offered on both sides
touching the question OF her sanity, sat several
hours yesterday, with the same characteristic
patience, listening to the long drawn out argu.
ments Of the opposing counsel. All that remains
now is for the Judge to give his decision in the
matter, which probably will be within few days.
There s quite an interesting litigation In pro-
gress before Judge Sedgwck, of the Superior Court
touching the disposal Of money obtained upon a
Judgment against the city. 1t originated in a
street paving contract and rom the present legal
aspect OF the case, as will be seen BY the report
elsewhere, promises to culminate, like very many
law suits In there not being much left In the end
