cruelty treated him, was resumed yesterday, be-
lore Commissioner Osborn, counsel for the gov
eminent announced that they had no new evidence

Some time since, In the case Of Bowen vs.. Chase.
known as the Jumel suit, notice was given by
counsel for defendant to counsel for plaintiff that
an application would be made, on the part Of the
defendant before Judge Blatchford, for an extra
allowance OF five per cent In tho way OF costs. This
motion was to have come on yesterday, but, at the
request Of plaintiffs counsel it went over till to-
day
Not long since two men appeared at the Grand
Hotel and arrested a young man named Parker,
charging him with being deserter from the
United States Navy. They showed what they said
yere badges OF United States Deputy Marshals,
and presented to him what purported to be q war
rant, signed by Commissioner. Having brought
Parker some distance from the hotel they told him
he could settle the affair by paying a sum Of
obtained from his sister-in-law check for 5000.
He drew this amount paid 1t to the parties and
was thereupon discharged. 1t subsequently tran
spired that no warrant for the apprehension Of
Parker had been issued by any United States Com
missioner, and that the persons engaged in this
obviously Matchmaking transaction were not in
any manner connected with the Marshals ONCE.
One John Roe has been taken up for participation
In this matter.
Judge Sedgwick, holding Special Term OF the Su-
perior Court was further entertained yesterday by
listening to the long-drawn arguments OF counsel
on the motion to enjoin certain gentlemen from
calling themselves the First baptist Church Of Har
lem, and from interfering with any OF its property.
Judge Sedgwick seemed TO be in doubt as to what
injury could occur to the of religion the
plaintls by the existence OF two energetic assoca-
tions devoted to the same cause calling them
selves the same name and asked whether 1t
would be any advantage to the plaintiffs to have
another Baptist church in the city OF New York.
AS to the property OF the corporation, that
being in the possession Of trustees he did not see
what equitable relief could be given. II the de-
PENDANTS interfered with the property OF the church
unlawfully there was the usual remedy. At pres
ent he did not sac what he had to pass on; but he,
however, would examine into the matter before
giving final decision.

port elsewhere. decision dsallowing the bill of
