1t will be remembered that Judge Barrett on last

ment. The Court granted the adjournment, with
the understanding that If the orders OF the Court
in the matter OF paying these salaries were not
Obeyed an attachment would issue against the
Board. 1t il difficult to divine the ground OF Oppo-

Justice are not denied and certainly there are no

question OF time They are bound to get their pay

The United States vs. Harry Edwards.-The de-
PENDANT, as previously reported in the HERALD, is
charged with having threatened to stab the mate
on board the Norwegian ship Skiold, on voyage
from Australia to this port. The defendant has
been, on a writ of habeas corpus, discharged by
Judge Blatchford; but he was rearrested for the
purpose Of having an argument made by counsel
representing the Consul for Sweden and Norway as
to whether 1t was within the power OF a United
States Commissioner to hold person not citizen
of the United States on such charge as the above
on the requisiton OF the Consul. Mr.. j. A. Goodett
argued that there was nothing In the acts OF Con-
gress to justify the detention Of Edwards; and
counsel for the Consul having urged the opposite
view, the Commissioner reserved his decision.

william s. Montgomery vs. G. +. Simmons, ct
al.-The plaintiff claims that he bought OF George
E. Myers, who claimed to be an agent Of the de-
fendant, certificate In the Kentucky State Lot
terry. Suit brought to recover "a, 537 so, being
as alleged, double the amount Of q certificate
of a share, with interest Mr. Myers testified that
in July, 1865 he handed to Mr.. Simmons sealed en-
velope containing paper marked Kentucky,
f. July 8. 1868, from 3S TO /, all first for $5,000n
with $2,97s rs In money. The witness was asked TO
explain the meaning of the endorsement. 1t was
insisted that the paper itself should be
put In evidence. 1t was afterwards con-
ceded that the complaint was not properly
framed, and leave was asked to amend the
same. This being objected to, the Court refused to
grant the request on the ground that it would In
troduce new and distinct cause Of action, and the
suit being for penalty, and the act under which 1t
is brought highly penal in its nature, the party
being entitled to receive double the amount he had
paid, the law should be held to strict construction,
and the party should be held to his declarations In
the complaint in the first place. Plaintiffs counsel
then asked permission TO withdraw Juror, which
was objected TO and objection sustained. non
suit then moved for by the defendants counsel,
which the Court promptly granted.

MAYOR HALL 5 TRIAL.
New YORK, March 6-The trial of Mayor
Hall was resumed this morning U. S. Cope
land was placed on the stand. Counsel for the
prosecution again offered warrant, by which
Garvey drew some forty thousand dollars from
the treasury, as evidence. Counsel for the de
fence objected, and went into a long argument
to sustain the objection. During the argument,
which was entirely upon legal points, the jury
was excused till this afternoon.
MISCELLANEOUS.
At a meeting OF the bar association last night,
the committee on eXtortiOns reported that there
exists system of excessive oyercharges in the
sheritf's, registers and county clerks offices.
They submitted a proposition for the abolition
of the marine court, and bill for the abolition
ofdiStIict courts was considered at some length.
The legislative Judiciary committee last night
heard testimony on the part Of Judge Cardozo.
Fullerton, CardozO's counsel is confident of the
acquttal Of his client. The case against Judge
Barnard viii be taken up to-day.
The alleged deficiency in the accounts of eX-
Controller Evan w. johnson of Brooklyn is as
Suming alarming proportions. The finance
committee of the board of aldermen will shortly
commence an investigation INTO the matter. As
the controller has many wealthy and influential
friends Il strong defence in his behalf will be
made
During the investigation to-day in the insur-
ance bribery case, George Jones, one of the pro-
prietOrS of the Times, was on the stand for a
long time, and several articles which appeared
in that paper were read, but he refused to give
the names of the authors of them; he said that
he was manager of that paper, that Mr.. Jen-
nings was employed on the paper, but did not
know what authority the writer's Of the articles
had for the assertions contained in them.
Worcester daily spy., 1872-03-07

about the same as last year. There has been an
increasing demand for evening schools during
the past year, and two new ones have been
established. A new feature in the report of the
superintendent is list of private schools, with
the value OF the real estate owned by them, num-
Der of pupils and teachers, and other interesting
facts. Il appears that there are nine instltu-
tiOns of this kind, having avaluation of $500 000
There are 56 achers and $50 pupils belonging
to them. The same report speaks of the benefits
which may derive to school children from the
public library, if proper books are selected for
their reading. 1t suggests that it would be
profitable to organize a department in the IL
brary, to be open Wednesday and Saturday af-
ternoons, for children between ten and fifteen
years of age, to be used by them on the recon-
mcndatinn of their teachers.
The report of the committee on truant schools
shows that there have been twenty-seven differ
ent pupils in the institution during the past
year, maintained at an average cost of S17359
each. The total expenses of the institution have
been S19j2 so, which is siO47.5O less than the
appropriation,
There are other very interesting matters
treated of in the reports, such as the course OF
study in the grammar schools and the benefits
Of compulsory education,
