che COMPTROLLER OHce-The Beginning
Of the End.
In the case OF the People against william M.
Tweed the prosecution yesterday brought their
branch OF the case to q close The defence was
then entered upon one Of the principal features of
which was the examination Of the principal prose-
cutting sfncer, Mr.. Peckham, on the stand. There
was considerable Roadway made by the defence,
and the prospect that the case will be left to the
eloquence Of counsel to present in the best light
their respective cases to the jury, after that body
has been FIRST enlightened on all the law points
involved BY the learned Judge.
The Court OF Oyer ana Terminer opened yester-
day at haifpast ten O'Clock Judge Davis presiding.
There was the usual crowded court room, the
usual array OF counsel and the same public interest
manifested that has marked from the first the
whole proceedings in this protracted and impor-
tant trial.

motion came up for argument yesterday be-
fare Judge Barbour, holding Special Term of the
Superior Court, involving an important point in
legal practice. The question hinged upon the le-
gality Of the seizure of some fifty thousand dollars
worth Of laces by the Sheriff. 1t seems that a
member OF the firm selling the goods some time
since tosk out bankruptcy proceedings in England
and executed deed of trust allowing, in case Of
default in payment Of instruments due upon
compromise made with his creditors, that any
property Of his could be seized to make good these
payments. As the member Of the firm selling the
goods, as well as the purchaser, knew nothing Of
this deed, the Sherin's seizure OF the goods was
declared illegal and void.
Tho Sherin's jury yesterday assessed damages
Tor $4,000 against United States Marshal Sharpe
In favor Of D. Wemys Jobson. The suit, it will be
remembered, was based upon an alleged assault
Of the former and an eectment from his office, iul
particulars of which were published at the time.
The hearing OF the case Of George w. Bowen vs.
Nelson Chase was resumed yesterday, In the
United States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman
and the special jury. Mrs. Eliza J. Tranckell was
examined at considerable length on the part OF the
defendant. Mr.. O'Conor offered to prove by this
witness that Mr.. Gideon ]. Tucker, acting as agent
for the plaintiff had attempted to bride her to give
testimony on the plaintiffs side Of the suit. Mr.
Hoar denied that Tucker was acting as the plain
ttns agent. Judge Shipnan ruled out the offer
and defendants counsel entered an exception to
the ruling. The case will be continued to-day.
