Yesterday, in the United States District Court
before Judge Blatchford, In the case of Mrs. Lucy
Fisk, executrix OF James Fisk Jr., deceased which
Is action to determine Mrs. Fsk's right to 600
shares claimed to have been held in the Credit
NObilier and Union Pacific Railroad by her late
husband, Mr.. David Dudley Field made o motion
to vacate an order extending the time till the 18th
Of April for Durant, McComb, Mckee, Rollins
Brooks ana Williams, correspondents, to put in
their answers. Counsel argued that there mad
been great delay in putting in these answers. The
bill was filed May 1871. The time to answer ex-
PRED In June. 1t was extended till July. 1t
was again extended to August and to September
4. Then, instead OF answering, the defendants de-
INJURED. The demurrer was overruled. Before the
demurrer there had been seven extensions of Isl
days, and since the demurrer there had been eX-
tensions by consent of the plaintiff extending to
206 days. He would be willing to extend the time
for answering to the LIST of May provided he could
now go on and take testimony without prejudice.
He (Mr. Field intended to take voyage around
the world, and it was important that the testi-
mOny should be taken while he was IN the country.
Mr.. Stlckney, on the part OF the defendants, adj
United that the extensions Of time referred to by
counsel had been granted; but said there had been
some difficulty in getting the cOdefendants named
to verify their answers, as they lived In different
and distant parts Of the States. He did not think
that the testimony could be properly taken until
the answers were verified.
The Judge took the papers and reserved his de.
c1siOn.

COURT OF COMMON pLEAs-spsCIAL TERM.

Regulating Assessments for Paving.
Before Judge Robinson.
There is scarcely any end to the suits brought
against the city to regulate Irregularities Of as
sessment and particularly in the matter Of street
paving Four OF this class OF suits-twO brought by
Currier Freeborn to regulate the assess
ments Tor repavng South and other streets,
and the two brought by Long Il VoOrhis in re-
gard to the assessments for paving various streets,
were recently brought into this Court and Judge
Robinson yesterday gave decision in regard to
them. He holds that the act OF 1872 covers mere
Irregularities in assessments, but does not relate
to any assessments Tor pavements laid prior to
January l, 1872. This act provided when an as
sessment was raised for irregularities for reassess
ment, excepting, however, all assessments for re-
paving streets where the property had paid one as
sessment for paving. The decision holds that this
act, though retroactive is CONSTITUTIONAL and that
the remedy to be administered must have reference
tot and though these suits are not abated by It, the
injunction in the case OF Long IL Voorhis will
have TO be subject to the right OF the city to take
Freeborn II the subject of their assessments is
to be absolute.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
There are twenty-one wards in this city OF ours,
only nine Of which are deemed qualified to have
representatives In the new Board Of Education, as
the following carefully made list will testify -One
is resident OF the Fifth ward, two are residents
OF the Ninth ward, one from the Fourteenth ward,
one from the Sixteenth ward, three from the Sew
enteenth ward, three from the Eighteenth ward,
three from the Nineteenth ward, five from the
Twenty-hrst ward and two from the Twenty sec-
Ond ward.
That the electors Of New York will be satisfied
with system that gives to twelve wards no repre-
sentation, although they have to pay their proper
ton OF the taxation by which t is sustained. have
nv doubts
That the schools OF certain localities will be well
provided for, there Is Occuar demonstration from
the number OF commissioners that have been given
to their wards, while those sections that have no
immediate representation TO whom they apply
will suffer they have done under the old Ring
arrangement. The district system was struck from
the Dill at Albany to crafty the representatives OF
Murray Hill, and until 1t Ia restored public edu
cation will be an unsettled question with each sue
ceeding Legislature. This subject comes home
directly to the people, and they look to the HERALD
as their mouthpece in all matters that Affect their
interests. Yours very truly, A CITIZEN.

ALLEGED BURNING OF THE BARK
MARY NJ. BIRD.

The American Bark Mary NJ. Btrd-She
IL Set Fire to In the HarbOr OF Buenos
Ayres-The Suspected Parties Arrested
and on Their Way to This Port.
The United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, under
date Of February IL, 1873, writes to Mr.. William
Hunter Second Assistant Secretary OF State, in
forming him that on night in the month Of De-
cember last the American bark Mary M. Bird,
Captain Frank B. Packard, was set on fire, and
damaged to the extent OF five six thousand dol
lars, and narrowly escaped complete destruction.
The lives OF the officers and crew were also seri-
Ously imperilled. All the persons on board were
supposed to have been asleep except one seaman,
Martin Cashin who was stationed anchor
watch at eleven O'Clock. He did not call his
relief at twelve O'Clock, as 1t was his duty
to have done. At about half-past twelve O'Clock
an alarm Of fire was raised by the stewardess,
crew, with aid from the English and American
ships Parts of a kerosene oil can were found in
the lazaretto, where the fire originated. This
can had been left the preceding night in the
pantry, which opens from the inner cabin next
door to the room OF the stewardess When the
alarm Of fire was given the Waterman was found
In q stupid and partially lnsensible condition. He
took no part in extinguishng the fire, and said
s'he mad got something ait" which had poisoned
him. but exhibited Consciousness enough to tell
his shipmates to call him before ''she went down."
The next day, after he was arrested, he SAID to
the men, ~ have got into pretty scrape, haven't
~" Cashin (rhe accused) informed the Consul
that the stewardess came to him while he was on
the watch, talked to him con1dentally, and then
told him to come to her window, where she gave
him several glasses Of liquor, after which he was
unconscious Of all that occurred until next day The
Consul has decided to send Martin Cashin to New
York for trial, and expresses his belief that Anna
Erras, the stewardess, has been connected with
the alleged offence. This woman and her husband,
Charles Erras, the COOK Of the Mary NJ Bird, are
pected by the bark Isaac Hall in New York
shortly, and the stewardess will upon her arrival
be placed under arrest on the charge above re-
ferred to. The Consul has taken measures to send
Cashin forward, as also the crew of the Mary NJ.
Bird, who are to appear as witnesses for the pros
ecuton. 1t appears from the Consul's despatch
that Of late there has been good deal Of insubor-
dination among the crews OF American vessels in
the port Of Buenos Ayres. The crime charged
against the accused is, we believe, made capital
one under an old law OF Congress. On the arrival
OF the accused the case will be examined into by
united States Commissioner Shields

A SPIRIT MEDIUM" IN COURT.

The Jefferson Market Police Court presented
lively appearance yesterday afternoon owing to
the announcement that 'DOctOr" j. V. Mansfield,
of 361 Sixth avenue, known among modern Spirit
ualists as ''Test Medium would be brought up
on complaint of a number Of gentlemen OF this
city, charged with "disorderly conduct and con-
duct calculated to provoke breach Of the peace"
For some time before the hour designated for the
examination the more prominent Spiritualists
whose faces familiar at.the Apollo Hall Spiritual
conferences, began to gather, showing fair repre-
sentation Of that peculiar class which runs to long
hair, careless attire and unsettled manner. Much
sympathy was expressed by them when the "Doc-
tor" who as is alleged is threatened with paralysis
entered, supported on either side by the arm of a
friend. The prosecutors, numbering some six or
seven business men, were also well supported. and
lively fight was anticipated. After few unim-
pertant matters were disposed Of His Honor JUS
tice Cox called the case OF the People vs..
Mansfield, and at his suggestion the parties adj
journed to the examination room. where the

Honor terminated by deciding that this was

should be held to bail to keep the peace, and his
volunteering bail would be TO plead guilty to the
charge. strong effort on the part Of the prison.
er's counsel was then made to obtain postpone
ment OF the examination, but without success.
The prosecution then called Mr. William G. Grant,
well known lumber merchant, residing at the st.
Cloud Hotel. Mr.. Grant detailed an interview
which he, in company with others, had with Mans
field. He said the prisoner proposed to furnish
communications from the departed spirits Of
friends of the visitor; that he provided the visitor
with certain style OF paper, very thin and trans
parent upon which he 1.-THE visior) wrote his ques-
ton and folded 1t in q prescribed manner;
then the prisoner laid his hand upon it, and
after waiting for time, as he alleged for the
requisite magnetism" folded the question in
much smaller compass, sealed IL with mucilage,
and, taking pencil wrote pretended answer to
it. The particular question spoken of had been
written by one OF the party and addressed to his
brother in the spirit land though he never had a
brother either there or anywhere else. Neverthe-
less, an answer was obtained Mr.. Grant explained
how knowledge OF the question was arrived al by
showing ''the conditions" they are called-that
is the character of the paper the pencil and light
and swOre that himself and the other gentlemen
with him could do it just well as Mr.. Mansfield,
and without any aid from spirits. At the conclu-
sion Of the direct examination OF the witness the
case POSTPONED for two weeks.
