BUSINESS In THE OTHER COURTS.

not unfrequent case in the Courts nowadays
was an application made yesterday through writ
Of habeas corpus, before Judge Van Irunt, holding
Chambers OF the COURT Of Common Pleas, by a
father for the custody of his child. 1t Is an inter-
esfng case, as will be seen by the report else
where, the father being Roman Catholic and, his
strongest point OF objection being to the child
being brought up in the faith OF her present guar
dams, who are Presbyterians. Judge Van Brunt
has ordered q fun and thorough investigation into
the facts OF the case.
Yesterday, in the United States District Court,
Judge Batchford rendered his decision in the case

rent Of $500, payable monthly, not in advance,
the store and basement OF the building Nos. 1853
and 355 Canal street, In this city. The bankrupts
made only one OF the monthly payments, and on
the 1st OF May, 1872, owed the lessons $1,s75 for
rent. Prior to May 6, 1917, Bailey Debevoise
had instituted proceedings to dispossess the ten
ants for non-payment OF rent. On the 9th OF May,
1872, petition In involuntary bankruptcy was
filed against the bankrupts, and thew were ad-
Judicated bankrupts the 7th OF August following.
The Judge says that after the adjudication 1t was
the duty OF Bailey & Debev0ise TO have asked the
Court to sanction the rate OF rent they now ask
or to give up the premises. 1t was not enough for
them to ask possession or rent from the Marshal

AN ExrLAsArIoS.-1n our issue Of October sth,
1879 in referring TO the Democratic candidate for
Assembly, among other things, we saidi
owe have Il from good authority, that DIR. T.
]. Boyer, the regular Democratic nominee for
Assembly, In this county, some days ago, made
an offer to responsible Republican, Of Brady
township, n man Of undoubted vcracty, to sell
out at least one Of the Democratic nominees on
their State ticket. The proposition was: That IL
this Republican and his friends would vote for
Boyer for Assembly, he (Boycr) and friends would
vote for Gordon, the Republican candidate for
ouPiemc Judge.......That an affidavit had been
inaue " tho f"et cad "vuid appear IN due time" +"
Our informant also stated that tho "afidayit,
would bc published on October sth, but It seems
he was misiniormcd on that point, as II did not
appear for some reason. And II seems further.
that he was also misnformed as.to the purport of
the "alidavit,' as we have since incidentally
learned from another party that II did not contain
the statement as given above but that II was to
the effect, "that DR.. Boyer offered to compensate
the Republican referred to, If he would use his
influence to induce his Republican friends to vote
for Boyer for Assembly" Sotintontionally wish
ing to misrcpresent DR.. Boyer, and for the pur
pose of placing ourself right before the public,
We made application f,riee for the "aiidayit," or
acopy thereof, but our request has not been com
piled with; and hence, ns we cannot under the
circumstance, vouch for the accuracy Of the sec.
ond version, we make this explanation in justice
to Dr. Boyer, as well as ourself.

about somewhere, il not both. However, IL the
Authors Of this compound libel can feel good un-
