BROOKLYN COURTS.
CITY cuUaT- SPECIAL team.
Alleged BigOtry.
Before Judge Thompson.

yesterday morning the case OF Dr. M0nmOnier,
who was removed from the position of Resident
Physician OF the Brooklyn homeopathic IUng-tn
Asylum on the ground that he is Catholic, was
before Judge Thompson on the order for the man.
agers to snow cause why he should not be rein
stated 1t appeared that no return to the writ had
been fled. HN
Counsellor Goodrich, for the managers said that
he had not filed 1t, he intended to to quash
the writ On aiiidayltS that he wanted to present.
Counsellor Morris. for the relatOr, said that must
be done ON the paper already IN, and not on new
lacts. They must lille the return II they wanted to
raise question OF iaot esN
Counsellor Goodrich replied that REALTORS counsel
had already obtained q writ Of mandamus from
Judge Fancher, OF the Supreme Court in New York,
which he had set aside alterward at Special Term.
TO the moving papers on that application had been
and it appearing that DIR. Monmonier had been pro-
perly removed, according to those bylaws, the
writ was ret aside. These papers had not been
Supreme Court In New York. All the facts did not
appear and important ones had been suppressed.
Mr. MOrrig-Well, you must either move to quash
the writ on the papers as they are or else put IN
your return.
Judge Thompson-rhat, think is the correct
adjournment, and at that time be prepared to
file your return. even II you desire to move to
QuaSh the writ.
Counsellor Goodrich (after several interrupt
ttons)-I have statement to make that whatever
Your Honor thinks about the adjournment de-
cause was granted the Board OF Managers have
appointed new Resident Physician OF this institu-
tiOn. The question Of religious intolerance has
been drawn into this matter, as I believe, for the
purpose of Affecting the political chances or can
didate before the people. The ground raised was
that DR.. M0nm0nier was removed because he was
Roman Catholic. 1t Is made part OF the moving
papers. Since the writ was granted new Resi-
dent Physician has been appointed, DR.. Varona,
and have In my possession an affidavit IN which
VarODa states that he is a Roman Catholic
Counsellor Morris objected to this mode Of get
ting In atiidavlts that had no business there.
Counsellor Goodrich read an affidavit of Dr. A.
Var0na, who had recently been appointed in DIR.
Monmomer's place, which showed That deponent
Is Roman Catholic. Counsel said he made these
facts known to show the true character of the pO-
litcal capital sought to be made out of this mat
ter. N4~
Counsellor Morris denied that there was any
thing political in 1t, and pronounced the REALTORS
removal gross outrage, which should not be
tolerated in the community
Counsellor Goodrich also questioned the power
OF this Court to issue such writ as was applied
for. 4
The case was adjourned until next Saturday.

A Curious and Complicated Case-Re-
viving the Name OF tho Old Bank OF
the United States.

A Curious and Complicated Case-Re-
viving the Name OF the Old Bank OF
the United States.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 2, 1872.
No. 216. Oelrichs & May VS.. Hill, Williams ct.
al. Appeal from the Supreme Court OF the Dis
triet Of COlumbia-This Is an effort on the part OF
the heirs Of tho original parties concerned to con-
clude an ancient financial contest. The old Bank
OF the United States being indebted to one Wet
more, assigned to him as security certain bonds OF
the State Of Texas which were subsequently called
in by the State, Wetmore receiving in lieu
thereof certificates for their amount, issued in
his name. When Texas was admitted into the
Union Congress assumed certain OF her debts, and
Wetmore filed his certificates as representing q
portion OF that debt. Meanwhile the bank had
agreed to pay General James Hamilton ten per cent
on any amount which 1t should receive from the
United States on these certificates over and above
the amount due Wetmore, in consideration Of his
services in urging and procuring the passage OF the
act providing for the assumption OF the debt by the
government, and gave him an order on Wetmore
for the commission, which was accepted by Wet
more. Hamilton made various assignments OF
his interest In this commission, and In 1855
the fund, on an assignment to him as against Wet
more and others, the allegation being that Hamil-
tom nsG M 20 $ and m
decision was in favor OF Wetmore and those hold
Ing orders upon him from Hamilton, In the order
OF their dates Among these were one Hill, who is
represented in this suit BY the appelees. The
decree found to be due to Hill about fourteen thou.
sand dollars more money than there were funds,
after paying the prior orders, and there having
been security bond filed upon the issuing
OF an injunction in the suit, the complalnants
brought their suit against the appellant sureties on
the bond, to recover the amount lost by them by
reason OF the injunction, averring that they would
have received all but for that process. The answer
was that II Hill his representatives ever had any
interest In the funds it arose long after the injunc
tion was returned, and the bonds are, therefore,
not liable In the matter; and, among other matters
that there could be no valid claim to the
fund In Wetmore's hands In HamiltOn's favor
because Hamiton's agreement with the bank
showed on its face that the object was to use per-
sOnal or secret influence on the legislators to IN
nuence legislation, and hence neither Hamilton
nor his assignees could acquire any interest main
tainable in law under such an agreement. The
decree was for the claimants, and 1t Is here con-
tended that the Injunction pond was discharged by
the release Of the bank, and the sureties are not
liable; that Hamiton's interest was not lawful,
and that all the payments from the Treasury were
in violation Of law. 7. T. Crittenden and T. j. Du
rant for appellants, P. Philips for appellees.

Continuation Of the Examination -Testi-
mony of Very Curious Character

Case Still Pending.
BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS.
An Extradition Case Bankruptcy Proceeding
The Late Marshall Bidwell-Decisions.

One of the most interesting and extraordinary
cases that has been developed In our law Courts in
recent years came or yesterday IN the United
States Court before Commissioner Osborn. 1t was
hhat OF the notorious Tennie c. Caiin and Victoria
woodruff, who charged with having violated the
law of the United States by sending filthy literature
Through the mails-t0 w.t. Woodhuu Claftns
weekly, which is alleged to contain false, scan
ualous and malicious libel upon well-known and
distinguished clergyman in Brooklyn and the editor
pf certain religious journal. The defendants are
mot, in the present instance, prosecuted for this
bbel, but simply for mailing matter charged to be
obscene. Full particulars are suboined. Clanin
and woodruff are now in Ludlow Street JAN, In de-
|fault OF $4,000 bail each. Their examination Is
tnxed for tomorrow, at one O'Clock
sequel to the Claflin- woodruff SANDER case in
tthe United States District Court came up later in
the day yesterday in the Jefferson Market Police
Court. warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Colonel Blood, the reputed husband Of Victoria
Woodhull, an afidavit charging him and the
etereotyper Of the Weekly with completely in the
alleged scandal and hbels published in that journal.
NO examination was held, and the accused were
held for examination on some future day.
/ The examination touching the sanity Of Rose
McCabe was resumed yesterday before Judge Sedg-
wick, OF the Superior Court. Altogether the test-
mony was OF q curious character, and some OF 1t
strangely conflicting. One doctor testified that he
had been told he would be well paid II he would
sign certificate Of her lunacy, but on an examina-
tion he pronounced her perfectly sane, and would
not sign any certificate. Another doctor did
examine her and found her 1T candidate for the
lunatic asylum, and signed certificate to such
effect. The most curious not to say interesting
part OF the days proceedings was the opportunity
1t gave two priests to Jointly deny alleged calum-
nies upon their character.
An extradition case came up yesterday in the
United States Commissioners Court, in which
Augusta Ludwig Krebs is charged with having
forged bank book belonging to John Frease, OF the
city OF Bremen. After the production Of the COM
plant and its record the files OF the Court the
case was adjourned to Wednesday next.
There was a large meeting Of members Of the Bar
yesterday at which resolutions were passed ex-
pressve OF its sentiments Of profound regret at the
loss it has sustained in the death OF Marshall s.
Bidwell. Speeches were also made highly eulo-
CYSTIC Of his professional and personal character.

Yesterday Deputy Marshals Coliax and Bernard
strolled quietly down to the ofiice OF Messrs.
Woodruff Claim, on Broad street, and, inquiring
for the heads OF this somewhat celebrated firm OF
female brokers, were told that they were out. The
brace OF officers said they would wait, and seated
themselves in the ofice for that purpose. In few
minutes both Victoria G. woodruff and Tennie G.
Claim entered, and at the same instant Marshal
Colfax informed them that 1t was his un-
pleasant duty to take them In custody, as
an affidavit charging an onence against the new
United states law relating to the posting and send
ing through the Post once obscene publications had
been issued. Mrs. woodruff expressed herself at
once ready to accompany the o1lcers but Miss
Clanin said that she had some business Of very
urgent nature to attend TO, which would only,
however, occupy her for the space Of a few mo-
ments She was permitted to retire into the ante
room, where she remained for moment only,
when she again reappeared, and carriage being
IN readiness the party entered and were driven
rapidly to the ofice OF Commissioner Osborn, In
the United States Court BUILDING.
