MORE FORGED BONDS.

An Issue OF S4OO,OOO Thought To he in
Existence-TimcIy Discovery OF the
Fraud.
About month ago the Treasurer OF the Connec.
ticut ana Passumpsic River Railroad Company re.
ceived letter from DR.. Samuel X. Lyon, OF 3l2
Second avenue, asking what they would pay for
one of the bonds Of the Massawlppi Valley Rail
road stating he was writing In the interest OF GER
tain persons who wished him to dispose OF 1t. The
Treasurer answered that the company would pay
80 for 1t If sent on in few days. On the 29th of
August Mr. EmmOns Raymond, President OF the
Connecticut and Passumpsic River Railroad Com
pany. received from DR.. Lyon registered letter,
enclosing $1,000 1lrst mortgage bond OF the Mas
sawippi Valley Railroad.
The bonds OF this description are payable at the
Bank or Montreal and are guaranteed by the Con-
necticut and Passumpsic River railroad Company.
The bond in question was sent to Montreal where
IL was pronounced forgery.
Mr.. Emmons Raymond came to New York few
days ago with the bond In his possession. He
placed the case at once in the hands OF Captain
irving. OF the Central ONCE. DR.. Lyon was found
without any difficulty He told Mr.. Raymond he
had received 1t from Mr.. Francis UPTON OF Thomas
street and Hudson, who received 1t rom his son,
Edward Upton was arrested in Warren street on
Tuesday noon by Detectives Sampson and Ryder.
He was taken to Police Headquarters. where he in
formed the detectives that he had received" the
bond rom Thomas Connolly. About hali-past
eight Tuesday evening Cononily was also arrested
anu brought to PoiCe Headquarters.
Beth OF the prisoners were arraigned before Judge
Bowling, at the Tombs Police Court, yesterday
afternoon. Counsel appeared for them and
asked Ior an examination at some future day.
To accommodate Mr. Raymond, who belongs in
Boston, IT was set down for Tuesday, September
80 Mr.. Raymond says that some time ago a num-
Der OF bonds were ordered to be Autographed and
were returned as useless, as the date on them was
wrong. He believes the bond in question to be
one OF the 400 which were then ordered, and that
they had fallen into the hands OF some men who
are attempting TO put them on the market.

Important Legal Quosti0n-The Storage
OF Ale by Brewers with Their Crcdi-
tors.
Before Judge Shea.
Arthur A. Brown VS.. Horace X. Thurber.-In De.
cember, 1872, the plaintiff who is the proprietor of
the Long Island Brewery, delivered twelve casks
OF ale to Michael Aealey, who then engaged In
the retail liquor business at No. q Cherry street.
in this city, on condition that the ale should not
be used until paid for. Soon after this the deien
dant recovered a judgment against said Michael
Healey, on which an execution was issued and
placed IN the hands OF a city marshal, who levied
upon the property at No. II Cherry street, aud
seized, among other things, these twelve casks of
ale and sold them at public autlon Plaintiff brings
this suit to recover rom the defendant $23S, the
market value OF the ale, with interest from the
time of Its seizure.
The plaintir testified that as stock ale was not
suitable Tor use until at least six months alter
being brcwed. 1t was his custom, in common with
other brewers to store that kind Of ale in custom
ers' cellars, to remain MS property until paid Tor.
the condition that he should have the right to use
one cask but was not to open the second one until
ne had paid for the first and returned the empty
cask. DEFENDANTS counsel claimed that the title
to the ale passed to Healey when 1t was delivered
to him, and that If the ale was delivered by the
plaintin TO Healey with the understanding that 1t
was to remain the property OF the plaintin until
paid 1or, That such an agreement, by giving TO
Healey fictitious credit. was fraudulent to the
piainttr as judgment creditor OF Heaey.
The Court instructed the jury that person can
sell property upon the condition that the title re-
sion Of it, and it will not be liable to seizure upon
acquired t9 70 It by PAYING for Il that at ns the
agreement In this case that all should remain the
plaintiffs property until paid for was perfectly
legal contract, and If the jury found that the prop
erty was on storage at Healey's place awaiting his
find for the plalntin. The jury returned verdict
for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.

Capture of u Floating Counterfeit Manu-
factory and All It's Occupants.
Before Commissioner Osborn.
The authorities having for some time past been
made aware that large quantities or spurious five
cent and three cent pieces were being placed in
circulation, Investigations we're set on foot and
the result was that the canal boat Joe Travers,
which lies between piers A and as North River.
was closely watched for several days by Deputy
Marshal Crowley and Mr.. Northcott, of Surveyor
Sharpe's STAFF. On Tuesday night the officers saw
great fires on board the boat, and from this fact
they inferred mot incorrectly as 1t subsequently
turned out) that the coiners were at their work.
assistants made a raid on the boat, and cap
tured John Radiord, who, 1t Is alleged,
has already served one term in the States
Prison for cOunterfeiting Henry Davis alias
Spikes, who Is just from sing Sing, alter having
endured there q sentence OF five years for counter
letting, and one George English. The officers
seized a quantity Of spurious dies, mOulds and
other paraphernaa belonging to the counterfeit
er's art The prisoners were taken to the Office Of
the United States District Attorney, where the
charge OF cOunterfeiting was formally made
against them. They were committed for examina-
tion in default Of bail to the amount OF $4,000
EACH
1t is claimed that the prisoners at the time OF
their arrest were dressed as 'longshoremen, and
that they were about to resist the entrance OF the
officers, when the latter drew their revOlvers and
showed that they were determined not to be
banned In their purpose. The arrest was very
cleverly managed by Deputy Marshal Crowley and
those who were acting with him on this occasion.

MORE MANDAMUSING.

The Salaries OF the City Judge and Re-

After Their Pay-The Comm issioner
OF Jurors Asking for His Salary.
The Assistant Corporation Counsel. Mr.. David j !.
Dean, can be tracked across the Court House as
sailors track whales by the swordfish be-
hind the latter. Mr.. Dean has huge bun
dies of mandamus papers, and many law
yers keep his memory "greenn because he
has charge of the Comptroller's matters. To-
day was mandamus field day with him. In
the Common Pleas he was called upon by Mr..
OGorman TO resist the full claim Of Mr.. Ryan Tor
salary as Sessions clerk and by Mr.. o. Hall to
resist that OF Judges Sutherland and Hackett for
months salary at the old rate, and by the same
counsel another Tor MI. Sparks the Clerk for Oyer
and Terminer, for salary, and another by the
same counsel in the Supreme Court for
Mr.. Taylor, the Commissioners OF Jurors,
and three by Mr.. Lawrence Tor Messrs. seaver.
1raphagan and Hogg, as street widening commits
soners. These various hearings, some preliminary
and others final, involved no particularly newer
points than those already chr0niced in prior dis
cussons Part OF the Ryan argument appeared
yesterday. Mr.. Green's resistance to Judges Suth-
erland and Hackett's salary seems to depend upon
the question whether it is any more rightlnly
affected by the charter than was that OF the Super
viSOrs.
His object ton to Mr. Sparks salary is based upon
similar nterpre tatiOn and also upon the idea that
he cannot receive TWO salaries as CLERK OF two
Courts. MS opposiLiou to DougaS IdylOrs Il SALARY
is that although tho City Judge and the Comms-
sioner OF Jurors were to have the same sum per
year, yet the increase to the former was not
legal. One OF the Court clerks expressed
desire to start subscription Tor
statue, in green bronze, to the Comptroller,
to be placed in Central Park. But another claimed
1t should be OF brass. The lawyers not employed,
however. swear at the extent to which these man
damus proceedings clog the calen al and impede
private litigants In addition to these summary
proceedings by mandamuses at least a hundred
suits for jury trials are upon the calendars and
will be ready for trial in various courts during
October.

Before Judge Curtis
Story vs.. Bennett ct als.-Ths action was
brought by plaintif to recover upon an alleged
account stated and a promise to pay. Defendants
denied the Indebtedness and the promise to pay,
and set up that the paintin agreed with them that
in the event Of the return Of any goods sold by
plantif lor defendants the plaintiff, to receive
no commissions that by reason Of the return OF a
great quantity OF merchandise the plaintiff became
indebted to defendants for money overpad lor
which money defendants sought to recover by
means OF their counter claim.
Judge Curtis charged the jury that the onus
probandi was on plantin TO establish that the ac-
count was stated as alleged, and the existence OF
the promise to pay; that plaintiff should suffer q
deduction in his commissions upon all goods re-
turned within the time stipulated ut the time OF
the purchase. II one indebted individually and
also jointly with another to the same creditor

1t to either account, as he may choose. He may
apply 1t to the joint account, though he have given
the party making the payment receipt as for
money paid by him, and In which the name OF the
other joint debtor is not mentioned. The account

The members Of boat clubs should have vgiant
