sanity Of the Principal Defe nda nt-De-
felt $23,OOc-Judgment for All the De-
fendants.
Yesterday in the United States Circuit Court
Judge Shipman tried the case OF the United States
VS.. BENJAMIN J. CahoOne and others, his sure tles
consisting OF the following named persons:-Ben-
jamn f. Bache, Louis I. Warner, stephen d.
Trenchard, JOAN II. Gray, John d. Gibson, John
+. Ferguson ana William M. Wood. The facts of
the case, briefly told, are these:- is q
suit on a bond given by Mr.. Cahoone for the good
and faithful performance OF his duty as paymaSter
in the navy. lie was appointed to that position in
Tor $4,000, and is dated 18th OF April 1854 In 1866
MIR. CahooDe's accounts were examined when IL was
ascertaned, as alleged by the government, that q
deficit OF 1000 existed therein.
The defence is that about year ago Mr.. Cahoonc
was by the Supreme Court OF this State declared
Court by his counsel, Mr.. Algernon S. Sullivan; !;
that at the time OF the execution Of the
bond In question he was tmbecile, Of uns0und
mind and not competent to make q
contract. In 1856 he was invalfded from the
Chinese squadron, having had Chinese fever, and
1t is further claimed on the part OF the defendant,
CahoOne, that since that time he has been grad
ually losing his mental powers until about 1861
when his loss of mind became quite apparent. To
sustain this position the dispositions of ex-Surgeon
General Horwitz and Surgeon Gui0n were read. II
| was incompetent to make contract in 1851 on ac
count OF the unsoundness OF his mental condition:
| After hearing the case Judge Shlpman ordered

THE POSTAGE STAMPS PROPERTY

A Curious Point at Common Law-Ab.
stractiOn of Postage Stamps by n
CIerk-The Indictment Sustained and
the Accused Held for Examination.
Yesterday in the United States Circuit Court
Judge Blacthford had before him a somewhat
curious point involving the question whether, at
common law, postage stamps can be regarded as
properly. Some time since young man named
Nathaniel G. Hayes was arrested in this
city on charge OF having stolen from the Post
ONCE Of Hartford Conn.,, a quantity OF postage
stamps. The defendant has been indicted in
Connecticut Tor that offence After his arrest in
this city he was taken before Commissioner Belts,
to whom a copy of the indictment against the de-
fendant was submitted, as one OF the proofs upon
which his removal to Hartford iOr trial was sought.
Defendants counsel raised the point that the in
dictment was not good, inasmuch as the name
OF the foreman OF the Grand Jury that found
it did not appear upon it. The Commissioner
ruled against the view advanced by counsel,
who then sued out writ OF certiOrari,
for the purpose of having the matter determined
by Judge BiatchfOrd. The point was argued yes
terday. Another copy of the Indictment with the
name OF the foreman of the jury that found the
bin inscribed thereon, was produced Counsel
thereupon claimed that at common law postage
stamps could not be regarded property, and that,
therefore, the prisoner could not be regarded as
stealing them. Judge Blatchford took the opposite
view; decided tilat they were property, and re-
manded the prisoner Tor the purpose OF having his
examination. completed before Commissioner Belts.
