Application was made yesterday morning before
Judge Brady at Supreme Court Chambers, for an
attachment against Gordon and dismissal of the
complaint made by him against Jay Could The
application was made on behalf Of Could and was
grounded on the fact Of Gordon not appearing to
be examined pursuant to the ordinary summons to
Mr. Strahan, on behalf OF Gordon objected to the
application insisting that, though the copies Of the
papers had been served on Mr.. Gordon, the clerk
serving him had not offered the witness the fee
prescribed In such cases, and further, that the sig
nature Of Jay Gould was shown instead of Judge
Brady Having raised these points OF objection he
moved for an attachment against Jay Gould and dis
missa OF his answer for not appearing in similar
order and summons obtained fol- the examination
Of Gould by Gordon.
Mr. Fullerton submitted to the Judge copy of
the order served on Mr. Gould, and asked the Court
whether the date was April 25 or April 20. He said
he had read 1t as being the former date.
April 20, but said that he would give no advantage
to either side and SO would give orders to each to

Before Judge Brady.
The application for mandamus to compel the
Board OF Audit and Appropriation to make an ap-
preparation for the payment OF the stenographic
reporters attached to the different branches OF the
State courts Of their unpaid salaries from the LIST Of
January came up yesterday for hearing Mr. Stra-
han, on behalf OF the Board OF Audit and Appro-
priation stated that, 80 far as he was personally
concerned, he would rather aid In securing payment
Of the salaries than oppose It, There was no doubt
but that they would be paid; The only difficulty
was lack Of funds out of which the appropria-
ton could be made. AS to the plea set
forth in the afdavit OF Robert Bonynge,
one Of the Supreme Court stenographers, that the
power of appropriation to cover the salaries for the
four months In question expired with the close of
this month"; he said the new Board would have
the power to make appropriations for the entire
year. credlting appropriations already made and
covering payments already DUE Mr. Lawrence, on
behalf of the stenographers, said that the present
Board OF Audit would hold their last meeting to-
morrow and he doubted the power Of the new Board
to act upon the claim. The Judge said he would let
the matter stand over till Monday, and meantime,
II the Board failed to make the appropriation, he
would issue a mandamus compelling such appropri-
alton before its term OF office expired.
