Application to Postpone the Trial OF
James 9. King-Trials and Sentences.
Before Judge Ingraham.
Tho large thrOng In attendance at this Court
yesterday morning did not ind anything OF par
tcularly startling interest to occupy their atten
ton. The only thing of special importance was an
application In the case OF
THE KINd-O'NEIL TRAGEDY.
This was an application made by Mr. Wander
poel. counsel for Mr.. King, for the postponement
OF his trial. pending the return Of q commission to
take testimony In Germany. 1t was urged that
the testimony thus sought to be obtained would
show that several years ago King, in consequence
OF o severe attack or acute mania, was obliged to
take a sea voyage. The application was strenu0usly
opposed by Assistant District Attorney Fellows.
After hearing the argument the Judge reserved
his decision.
CONVICTED OF GRAND LARCENY.
John Henry was tried on charge OF grand

There being no further cases ready for trial the

England, with having committed forgery at
Charleviie, county Cork, Ireland The complaint
against Noonan was made by the British Consul,
Mr.. Archibald, on the 10th OF October last. 1t
alleged that at different times between the 10th OF
May 1872 ana the 10th Of October. 1872, Noonan
committed forgery by the utterance OF forged
paper upon the National Bank at Charleviic. On
the l4th OF December evidence was taken in the
case before the Commissioner. Prisoners counsel
raised several objections to the suificency OF the
proof, not only IN regard to the au
OF the documents and the certificate
OF the Consular officer. but in respect to alleged
defects In the papers themselves. The Commits
sioner held that these objections were not tenable
In law and 0verruled them, and that the deposit
lions and infOrmati0ns duly certified by the Amert-
can Consul at Dublin and received in evidence
proved c0nclusvely the crime set forth in the war
rant which was issued on the complaint OF the
British Consul, and that the oral testimony intro
duced established the identity OF the prisoner as
the man charged with having committed the for
gerry in question. The prisoner is, therefore, com.
united to the custody or the Marshal until war
rant may issue upon the requisitt0n of the Eng
lish government for the surrender OF N00nan ac-
cording TO the treaty stipulati0ns.

John McMullaln upon whose physiognomy the
unmistakable signs Of villany and brutality were
stamped, was tried and convicted OF robbery in
the first degree. The testimony was BRIEF but
clearly established the guilt Of the accused It ap-
peared from the evidence brought out by the pros
ecuting attorney that on the evening OF the 9th
Of November, about twenty minutes past nine,
James Hume, who resides at 127 Clinton place. was
walking down Wooster street and was lostlea
against by three men he stepped aside to let them
pass, and in doing so was caught BY the shoulders
by one OF the gang and then he saw the prisoner
approsch him with MS arm raised but ne did not
and rendered insensible; the next thing he
knew was that he was in the station house
escaped. He gave sufficient description OF Nc
Muain to the captain as to lead to his arrest five
days afterwards, and when Mr. Hume went to the
station house he unhesitatingy identified him as
one OF the men who attacked him and stole his gold
watch. The evidence OF identity was confirmed by
LOUISA Smith, who witnessed the entire occur
renee She had known MCMILLAN by sight for q
year and positively identified him as the man who
struck the complainant on the head and took his
watch.
The accused went on the stand and denied that
he participated In the crime without leaving
their seats the jury rendered verdict Of guilty,
and the Recorder, with characteristic pr0mptness,
sentenced MCMILLAN to the State Prison for twenty
years, remarking that there never was more
righteous verdict rendered in that Court.

THE CASE OF ROSE M'CABE.

Tho Decision OF Judge Sedgwick-TIs
Pronounccs Her Partially Insane, but
Believes Her Durable.
1t is unnecessary to recapitulate all the facts
connected with the recent investigation as TO the
sanity OF Rose McCabe otherwise known as the
nun Sister Mary OF Stanislaus 1t Is only necessary
to state al present that some two years ago she
was placed in the Boomingdale Lunatic Asylum,
from which institution in the course OF few
months she was transferred to the Lunatic Asylum
on Blackwes Island; that she claimed to have
been badly treated by certain priests and that &C
cording to her own story, sister and various
other parties whom she had previously supposed to
be her friends, had, In conjunction with these
priests, and to shield the latter from
the odium of their misdeeds, conspired
to put her into lunatic asylum. The
story OF her alleged grievances she told to every
body who would listen to it. At length a lawyer,
who had faith in her narrative and whose sym.
pathies were IN consequence greatly aroused In her
behalf, sought through the medium of o writ Of
habeas corpus TO obtain her release from the asy
lum. The case was first taken before Judge
Leonard, OF the Supreme Court. who after hearing
her story, pronounced her clearly insane This did
not satisfy her counsel, and application was made
the Superior Court The examination before the
| latter Judge ran through several weeks and the
evidence, which n was quite fully published in the
HERALD, Is still fresh in the public memory. Sew.
eral weeks have elapsed since its close, and Judge
Sedgwick, having meantime thoroughly digested
4
decision. This decision IL ENTHUSIASTICALLY brief;
but, short as 1t is, covers the whole ground, and,
! what Is more reaches the conclusions generally
/ anticipated. The following Is the
OPINION OF JUDGE sEDdwICK.
| After carefully weighing the testimony in this
| matter ! come TO the conclusion that the lady
is SO Insane as to endanger her own person II per-
mitted to so at large. Relying upon DR.. Choate 8
testimony, think that her disease is durable, and
that she Will be restored to health If she can get
the benefit OF measures taken by skilled men in
such cases.
RESULT OF THE DECISION.
The result OF the above decision Is to leave Miss
McCabe where she Is, in the Lunatic Asylum on
Blackwell's Island. 1t remains to be whether
further efforts will be made to prove her sanity or
whether-the unquestionably more philanthropic
and reasonable course-efforts will be made to
restore her TO a sound mental condition.
