Before Judge Moore,

ready served one term in the State Prison Of New
York and another in Pennsylvania, was tried yes
terday for robbery On the 18th OF January last he
walked into the house OF q Mrs. Garrett, "A Hicks
street, and stole about $50 worth ofcothng, which
he stuffed in bag and carried to the street. He
was seen leaving the house by sister OF the land
lady, Miss Foster, who followed him until he
reached Remsen street, where he sat on the st0op
OF a house to rest. Miss Foster undaunted, walked
up to him, and opening one Of the bags was pro-
ceeding to examine the contents when he drew a
knife and threatened to stab her. He then darted
up Remsen street and ran into the City Hail, where
he was secured by Detective Edward Riggs, OF the
Central ONCE. When arrested the prisoner gave
his name as Mcfarland, but his mother, who had
for several years been endeavorlng to reform him,
went 10 the police station, exposed him and gave
the officers Information which led to the recovery
of other property stolen by the young man.
The jury yesterday convicted the prisoner with
ont leaving their seats, and Judge Moore, In pass
ing sentence surprised him by stating to him fully
his antecedents. The Judge said that he was too
dangerous character to have In the community,
and thereupon sentenced him to the State Prison

were seven other indictments against Smith for
Robbery.

statement of Assistant District Attorney
Russell in Reference to the Trial OF
Roll Cases.
Before Recorder Hackett.
The first case disposed OF by the jury yesterday
was an indictment for felonious assault preferred
against David Buckley upon the complaint OF David
Curtin, who swore before the magistrate that on
the Goth of September. 1872 Buckley, for some
fancied ndgnity shown to his sister, drew pistol
from his pocket and threatened to shoot the COM
plainant. 1t was evident from his testimony be-
fore the jury that he did not want to prosecute the
accused, for he swOre that he did not know what
Buckley had in his hand. The jury rendered YER
dict OF guilty OF simple assault, and His Honor re-
manded the prisoner Tor sentence.
James Curtin was tried and acquitted of charge
OF assault and battery alleged to have been COM
United upon OHcer WhtcOmD, OF the Nineteenth
precinct.
Assistant District Attorney Russell said-Before
closing tins days business feel 1T due to the Dis
trct Attorneys office that should make a state
ment. Nearly all the prisoners indicted in TINS
Court am informed. that were confined IN the
City Prison, have been tired, and during this pres
ent week we have been endcavorlng to try the
cases where the defendants were upon bail.
placed upon the calendar OF this Court for trial this
day twenty-five cases and in only one OF them have
we been able to get trial. In every case
we have been either compelled to forfeit the bail,
or some OF the witnesses Tor the prosecution were
scattered to the four quarters OF the earth. What
can do TO get more of these cases tried 1t is inn
possible for to say. am informed by those
who have had charge OF the Office previously, the
same difficulty has been experienced before
when they endeavored to bring bail cases to trial.
j propose to give longer notice to produce de-
PENDANTS than has been given heretofore, and
Will make an effort to try not only the prisoners
which are III jail, but those cases where the parties
are out on bail. The smaness or the amount OF
business done to-day demanding the attendance
OF Your Honor and Il large number OF Jurymen, de-
mands that should make this statement in justice

Action on the Law OF Partnersh Up.
Before Judge Joachimsen.


Before Judge Joachimsen.
Toope h Co. vs. Thompson Clendenning.-The
plaintiffs claim to recover in this action about $3.50
for certain castings made for stone-DreakIng ma
chine on the order of the last named defendant,
but on the credit OF both. Clendenning confesses
Judgment and appears as witness on plaintiffs
behalf. The defence OF Thompson is that Clenden-
ming being distant relative, arriving from the
south alter the rebellion, out OF business, he loaned
hin $4,000 to start quarry at Fort Lee, which sum
was advanced from time to time the business
required IL, and which sum was to be re-
paid so soon as the quarry became q success.
and rental was thereafter to be charged for
the property, which Thompson held under lease
The quarry speculation, however. proved failure,
and Thompson says he refused to advance further
funds after the $3,0 900 was exhausted; but after
wards did pay some bills which had been incurred
before the time OF the above refusal to workmen
who could not afford to lose their bihs and conld
