Colonel Fellows, who tried the case with great
ability, said that he believed all the mercy which
should be shown to Andrlc was awarded him by the
verdict Of the jury.
Judge Bedford, in passing sentence, said The
Grand Jury indicted Andre for murder. He was
most ably defended, honorably prosecuted, and, l
think fairly tried. The facts established in behalf

INTERESTING ADMIRALTY CASE.

The Possession nnd Sale OF VesscIs--Mat-
ters Of Account Between Part Owners
of ships-The Decision by Judge Blatch-
ford.
Yesterday, in the United States District Court,
Judge Blatchford rendered his decision in the ease
OF James Murray and George E. Holyoke vs.. The
Schooner Ocean Belle, Her Tackle &C. The libel in
this case, filed in December 1869, styles itself a
libel ''n cause Of possession and sale.n It prays
for no process against the vessel or against any
person. On the fling Of the libel commanding an
attachment OF the vessel a writ was issued Under
1t the vessel was attached. A claim to the vessel
was filed on behalf OF the owners OF eleven-sx-
teenths Of her. She was discharged from arrest
on bond in the sum OF S., 800, conditioned to
abide the decree of the Court,
The claimants filed exceptions to the effect that
cognlzable in the Courts. That the Court has no
power under the statements in the libel to take
the libellants THAT the Court has no Jurisdiction
to order the sale OF said vessel to pay her debts
That the libellants do not set up any facts that
title them to the interference OF the Court. The
Judge holds that the Court has power to take the
vessel out OF the possession OF the majority owners
owners. AS the majority intend to employ her on
voyage, they have a right to select the voyage
and Keep possession Of the vessel while she
i such bond , is required. the bond asked
session OF the other owners, is one which
this Court has no power to require, except SO far
as the libel may be regarded as asking for bond
lor the safe return OF the vessel The Court has no
jurisdiction IN matters OF account between part
owners Of vessel. His Honor cites authorities
in support Of this position 1t follows therefore,
that It cannot require the other owners to give
bond to the libelants to cover the part indebted
ness OF the vessel to the libelants, to indemnify
the ibelants against future loss in the employment
Of the vessel The exceptions are allowed SO far
as the second and third grounds OF exception are
concerned The first and fourth will be allowed,
and the libel will be dismissed, unless the libeans
should apply for leave to amend their LIBEL so as
to make 1t one praying for security for the safe
turn OF the vessel.

IMPORTANT BANKRUPTCY CASE.

Alleged Fraudulent Suppression OF Pro-
perty and NOn-Production OF Books
and Papers-PrOccedingsi In the United
States District Court Revscwed-Dc.
cision Reserved.
Yesterday Judge Woodruff, sitting in Chambers,
In the United States Circuit Court heard an argu-
ment In the matter Of Edward Robinson and Enoch
Chambcrlin, alleged bankrupts. The case came
up, on review, on the petition Of William A. Colt,
creditor. Robinson and Chamberlin on their
own petition, were decreed bankrupts by the
District Court, in February, 1868. Coit credi-
tor who had proved his debt, appeared be-
fore the Register and examined the bankrupts
and witnesses in pursuance Of section 20 OF the
act. subsequently the bankrupts applied for
discharge and Colt filed specifications Of his objec-
tons. The District Court heard the matter on the
objections under section 81 OF the act and granted
now brings the matter before the Circuit Court by
petition to review the proceedings in the Court
below and claims that the application for dis,
under the firm Of E. Robinson. They carried on
ment in 1862, and afterwards engaged in making
guns and in working o cotton plantation and
put IN CAPITAL Te st
tract for knapsacks amounted 10 100000. One
contract was for fifteen thousand to twenty thou
sand guns Chamberlin estimated himself in 1868
worth not less than one hundred thousand dollars
ana aDle 10 reallZe IRON lne business eventually
100000. The first specification OF the petition for
review states that Robinson and Chamberlin, when
examined before Mr. Edgar Ketchum, the Register,
on the I'd OF october, 1868, and on subsequent
days, sWore falsely in regard to material facts
cerning their estates and debts. 1t is charged that
Robinson stated in his examination that he did
not know OF Colts obtaininng for the bankrupts
about twenty-eight thousand dollars from the Gen.
trail Bank OF Brooklyn on quartermaster's certif-
Gates, and that he never had such transaction with
/ C0lt; whereas he well knew Ias the specification
alleges that Colt did, in fact, obtain the sum in
question from the Central Bank for the bankrupts
on the certificates mentioned. Other spechca-
tions charge that the bankrupts swore falsely in
their schedule with respect to both their real and
personal estate; that they produced, on the exam
inatOn, only part OF their hooks In SO torn and
mutiated condition as to be useless for the pur
pose Of showing tn ir transactions; that Chamber.
lin made cOnveyances OF real estate in fraud OF hfs
creditors, for the purpose OF covering up and con-
cealng his property, and that he still holds in
terest in this property and that he refused TO
ply with demand to produce his bank book and
checks with the Chemical Bank. The bankrupts
claim that the discharge granted them by the Dis
trict Judge on July IL 1882 was granted after there
had been searching investigation into their
aairs that they gave full disclosures respecting
their business transac ti0ns and that there is now
no reason for disturbing the discharge. The argu-
ments having been concluded the Judge took the
papers and reserved his decision.

TARGET EXCURSIONS AND CON
CERT SALOONS.

The Presentment Of the Grand Jury
Thcreon--Causc of the Prevalence OF
Crime-The Polscc To Re Sustained In
Suppressing Concert Saloons.
Yesterday the Grand Jury came into the Court OF
General Sessions and presented large number OF
indictments. The foreman read the subjoined pre-
sentments:-
The Grand Jury of the November term, in finish
ing their lab0rs, avail themselves oi this Opp0r-
tunity to present to the Court that in the investi
cations OF the various cases which have come be-
lore them large amount OF the crimes which lave
come to their knowledge consist of robberies from
the person, many OF which are attended with viO-
lence, and the greater part Of which are COM
mitted by the followers OF target companies. They
believe tnat If all target excursions were accom-
panied by proper force OF police, and compelled
to comply with the PROFESSIONS act, many OF these
offences might be prevented. They find by the in
vestgatons which they have made that many of
the young are tempted into crime by following and
being attendant on these excursions, ana they de-
sire that the Court should call the attention OF the
proper authorities to put in force such means as
would tend to prevent these crimes and protect
the public in their legitimate pursuits.

The Grand Jury OF the November term also desire
to express their approval and earnest wish that the

those haunts OF vice in their precincts commonly

persons in the eyes OF the patrons OF those estab

tiOn and crime, and that the Commissioners OF Po-
lice should sustain their officers in their efforts to

Mosher, as her friend and without any other con-
sideration, to help her with his note for $1,000,
payable seventy days after date which note she
endorsed and handed to Mrs. Cagney and immedi.

When the case was called, Mr.. Britton and Mr.
Hoges, for the defence, made an ameade to the
plaintiff, and the suit was discontinued. Mr.. Brit
ton made q little speech on the subject saying:-
II come here to say that, 30 lar as any inf0rma-
tion or knowledge which have in this matter,
there is nothing against Miss Grady II these things
were said which are alleged in the complaint,
they ought not to have been sald In any view
OF the case am free and ready to say, on my
own responsibility, that they ought not TO have
been said, and that SO far as Miss Grady is con-
cerned, to the extent Of my information and know-
edge, she is entitled to be considered free and
clear OF those charges which she alleges in her
complaint were made against her; and If she goes
out OF this Court with this case untried she ought
to feel satisfied that 80 far as any prejudice has
suited to her because OF these supposed Obliga-

THE wH1TE-sMITH HOMICIDE.

Nicholas White Indicted FOR Murder I'm
the First Degrcc-Flca OF fManslaughter
In the Third Degree Intcrposed and
Accepted by the Court-The Facts of
tho Casc-White Sentenced to Two
Years at Sing Sing.
Nicholas White, the prisoner In this case, was
indicted by the General Sessions Grand Jury for
murder in the first degree, for deliberately shoot
ing young man named James Smith, on the 2lst
OF July last, at the corner OF Lewis and Rivington
streets in this city. few days since, on the call
ing OF the trial, prisoners counsel, Mr. William
F. Howe, succeeded in interposing plea OF guilty
ofmanslaughter in the third degree instead OF
murder in the first degree, Of which he was
originally indicted by the Grand Jury. White was
arraigned yesterday morning before the Court OF
General Sessions, Judge Bedford presiding, for
sentence on the plea interposed by his counsel.
INTERposING PLEA.
Mr.. William +, Howe read o number Of affldavits
showing that White was completely justified in
shooting Smith. The prisoners barkeepcr de-
posed that Smith and friend entered his store
and threatened to shoot him, and that White
defended himself by firing a pistol. The depos-
tions Of several respectable merchants tesifyng to
the excellent character OF the accused were read,
and also that Of detective officer who swore that
the deceased and his friend were bad characters
long conversational debate occurred between
COOnel FeHOWS ana Mr. howe, INC prosecuting
officer contending that 1t would be an improper
act to send White to the State Prison, for If the
afldavits were true they furnished compile Justi-
fcati0n. Mr.. Howe, on the other hand, said that
the verdicts Of juries uncertain and he would
be satisfied il the Judge imposed the lowest penal
ty on the plea, which was one years Imprisonment
In the State Prison. He would then apply to the
Governor for pardon.
Judge Bedford suggested that under the circum-
stances surrounding the case the plea should be
withdrawn, for he could not consclentiOusly SEN
tence man to any penal institution upon such
afildavits provided they were true.
Mr.. Howe declined to withdraw the plea and
withdrew his anidavits asking the Court to pass
Judgment upon the testimony for the people.
The City Judge In disp0sing OF White, who Is q
man forty years OF age, said that when a plea OF
manslaughter Is interposed he was bound under
his Official oath to send the prisoner to the State
Prison. Counsel having withdrawn the allidayits
and the District Attorney stating that 1t was not
more than mansaughter in the third degree, he
wOald also take into consideration the other fact
that the county was saved the expense OF trial.
The sentence imposed was two years imprison-
ment in the State Prison.
The interpostIOn Of the plea, as seen above, re-
lieved the county the cost OF prosecution, while
1t erected the object OF prisoners counsel In secur
ing for his client more favorable sentence than
il the case had been actually tried and submitted
to the jury upon the testimony OF the witnesses
summoned in the case.
