Some time ago Mr.. Jardine obtained the contract
for paving a portion Of Third avenue. While en-

city for damages. In June last, upon application
to Judge Ingraham, of the Supreme Court, the mat
ter was referred to o referee. In this suit Mr..
Edward Haight acted, as alleged, as the trustee
OF the creditors Of Mr.. Jardine. The referee re-
ported in favor OF Mr. Haight- This report was
confirmed by Judge Ingraham. The matter was

Decision Reserved.
ON the 1st of February, 1871, Collector Murphy
caused to be seized in this city, the person OF
one A. C. Radcliffe, quantity Of smuggled dia-
monds worth about four thousand i've hundred
dollars. This matter, as the public win remember
was fully detailed in The HERALD atthe time. H. c.
whitley, chief OF the Secret Service Department,
claimed to be informer in the case, and therefore
entitled to moiety Of one-fourth or the value Of
the property seized and subsequently condemned !;
but this claim was disputed by q man named
Friend s. EsmOnd, who alleged that he was the
person who gave the nrst Information
that led TO the seizure of the diamonds.
Upon this pont considerable amount OF
testimony was taken before Commissioner Osborn,
who held that Esm0nd was the iniormer. The case
then came. on exceptions to the Commissioners
repOrt before Judge Blatchf0rd,. who declded that
he did not atach credit to the statements Of either
Whitley or Esslond, and that neither OF them was
the inf0rmer. Counsel for Edmond then sued ont q
writ of error to,review before Judge Woodruff the
proceedings in the Court below. Yesterday the
cause was argued before Judge Woodrur, In his
