BUSINESS IN The OTHER COURTS

In the United States Circuit Court yesterday,
Judge Shipman and the special jury resumed the
hearing Of the case OF George Washington
Bowen VS.. Nelson Chase. An argument was
mad as to the admissibillty OF certain
evidence by which the plaintiff offered to
prove that Madame Jumel admitted that
she had had an illegitimate son. Mr.. OConor, for
the defendant, claimed that such evidence was
wholly inadmissible. Counsel for plaintiff win re.
ply on this point this morning.
In recent issue OF the HERALD we stated that
one Pierre Berth, a Frenchman, had been arrested
In this city on charge of having murdered q hoy
and attempted to kill o young woman In the
neighborhood OF Rouen, Normandy. His examina-
ton was to have taken place yesterday before
Commissioner Kenneth G. White, but as the papers
in relation to this accusation have not been yet re-
ceived from the French government the case was
adjourned for a fortnight.
Yesterday b. d. Fairman, OF "A vesey street, was

sioner Shields with having in their possession a
quantity OF United States mail bags. truck load
of these bags was found at % I4spenard street,
where the accused conduct their business. 1t was
proved on the examination that the defendants
bought the articles in good faith from Walker Ii.
Elliott, 149 West Broadway and from Charles
McGinness, 81 Sheriff street. They were therefore
discharged.
Charles McGinness Of 81 Sheriff street. was
brought before Commissioner Shields yesterday on
charge OF having quantity of United States mail
bags in his possession. He was held in $500 bail
for examination.
Judge Ingraham, in the Court OF Oyer and Ter
miner, denied yesterday the application to post
pone the trial OF William O. King, charged with the
murder of Anthony O'Neill, SO as to enable COM
mission to be sent to Germany He thought,
however, the necessary testimony might be pro.
cured before the case would come on for trial.
verdict for $1,000 damages was yesterday
awarded in the Superior Court, before Judge Freed
man. to Abraham New1eld, for malicious prOsecu-
ton, against Hayman Copperman. The latter, as
alleged, made certain statements showing that the
former set fire TO his premises, and for such
alleged false statements the damages were given.
In the General Sessions yesterday, August Wood,
Swedish sailor, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in

The plaintiff was formerly assistant engineer on
a steamer OF the defendants. On the steamer was,
as alleged, $4,000 in specie and this having turned
out missing he was charged Nth being implicated
in it's loss and arrested at the instance OF special
agent OF the company at Panama. Appearing for
the plaintiff was Mr. d. B. Eaton, which was his
the violent assault committed upon him some two
years ago. He moved dismissal OF the complaint
on the ground that the agent had no authority
from the defendants to make the arrest; tnat he
went beyond the scope OF his authority In causing
the arrest. and that the company were, therefore,

The King-O'Nei1 Observation-Disclosures
to Postpone the Trial Dcnied-Case Of
Martin, the Alleged English Forger.


Before Judge Ingraham.
At the opening OF this Court yesterday morning
Judge Ingraham announced that he had decided
to deny the application made on the previous day
asking for postponement or the trial of James O.
King, accused OF the murder OF Anthony ONer
The postponcment, 1t will be remembered was
asked for in order to allow commission to be
sent to Germany to take testimony as to the men.
tai condition OF King some time ago. He denied it
on the ground that the evidence sought was not
shown to be necessary-it relating to an attack
OF mania as far back as 1869. and without
any further proof OF return OF the disease
II was not at all clear, he considered that this eyl.
dence would be admissible, and, besides IL was
pretty sure that before IL could he rendered on the
trial there would be ample time to have the CON-
mission returned Two or three weeks were likely
TO be occupied in the Stokes trial. and there were
other important trials to occupy the attention of
the Court. He therefore granted the commission
but denied the stay, with leave, however to re.
new the motion should the commission not be re-
turned In time.
Martin, the Alleged English Forger.
Some time since there was published in the
HERALD an account of the arrest In this city by
Detective Elder Of Francis Martin, an alleged
English forger Martin was arrested on the
steamer Immediately on his arrival, such
arrest being made pursuant to cable telegram
previously sent to the police authorities, setting
orth that he had procured 600 on a forgery In
Liverpool aud then Ned to this country. He was
brought yesterday into this Court upon a writ OF
habeas corpus, and his counsel, Mr. william r.
Howe, asked his discharge. He claimed that
telegram was not sufficient ground for holding
man and depriving him OF his liberty on mere
suspicion OF the commission OF q crime. In support
OF this position he cited the case OF Arthur Henry
In 20 Howard, whose discharge from arrest was
ordered by Judge Bacon OF Utica on precisely the
same ground.
Assistant District Attorney Fellows made a
strenuous opposition to the application. He
claimed that there was very reasonable ground for
supposng the prisoner had committed the crime
OF which he was accused.
Alter some ipIther Argument the judge adjourned

James Irving, a boy fourteen years OF age, was
some time since tried at the Special Sessions on q
charge of petty larceny, convicted and sent to
Harris Island. Application was made yesterday by
Mr.. Abe ii. Humme for his discharge. The ground
taken was that the Special Sessions had no right
to send him there, and that the law incorporating
that institution gave such power only to the Com
misSOners of Charities and Correction. Alter
