New YORK. Oct. %.

The case of Thomas c. Fields was
called up to-day in the Court of Oyer
aud Terminer. The accused was not
forthcoming, and his counsel declared
himself unable to produce him. Judge
Brady ordered that the rccognizances
should be forfeited
An anonymous burglar offers to come
to New York and produce the murderer
of Nathan, the banker, and prove said
murderer guilty, provided he is given
immunity from requisition from other
States, and paid $4,000 after the convic-
ton of the murderer.
Judge Brady has denied the motion
made by Mr. Tweed's counsel to quash
the indictment against their clients in
the Court Of Oyer and Terminer, hold
ing that the indictment differed from the
one in the Court of General Sessions, and
that the trial thereof must he proceeded
with.
There arc. some 1900 car and stage
horses here, and if equine travel be
comes stopped this season the losses to
business will be very heavy. The dis
case is denominated catarrhal fever. and
commences with a cough. In about
thirty-siX hours running from the eyes
and nose is developed, the horse becomes
weak, the affection being thought SINH
lar to the Canadian epidemic.
John D. Townsend and Daley. coun-
sci for Stokes, submitted in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer to-day an affidavit of
Stokes, asking for trial during the pres
ent term of the Court The affidavit
declares that repeated appeals have been
made to District Attorney Garvin for a
speedy trial, but no satisfactory answer
could be obtained. The affidavit also
sets forth that Stokes has come into adj
ditional evidence which will tend to
prove his innocence, and also that his
health has suffered severely by ten
months close confinement in the Tombs.
Mayor Hall appeared Unexpectedly in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day
and announced that he had received a
note from the District Attorney ordering
him to attend Court and renew his bail.
He said that he had been informed that
new Indictment covering the old ones
had been found. He offered to renew
his bail, and said he was the third Mayor
of the city who had come within the
embrace of the District Attorney for
alleged neglect of official duty. After a
short discussion between Hall and the
District Attorney in regard to quashing
the old indictments and furnishing bail
on the new one, the District Attorney
fixed the surety at $4,000.
Leaving the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner, Tweed proceeded to the District
Attorneys office, attended by Sheriff
Jarvis, eX-Judge Fullerton and John E.
Burrill of counsel for the accused, Ed
ward Kearney and Alfred B. Sands and
followed by crowd of gazers, who
would have stared the fallen chief out
of countenance if it were possible.
Tweed seemed quite unmoved and talk
ed freely with the Sheriff and those near
him. After a few minutes delay, Col.
Fellows, Assistant District Attorney,
made his appearance, and after a hearty
shake hands with the Boss set to work
and drew out bonds for $1,000 on each
indictment. Messrs. Edward Kearney
and Alfred B. Sands, 1876 East Twenty
