FLy-FIslIING FOR SHAD.-This subject is
again attracting the attention Of shad fisherman.
A successful ang er gives the following directions
for catching shad with a hook and line:
Use same rod and tackle as you would do for
hy-ishing for trout, but allow ,he fly to sink j
little below the surface and draw your line more
slowly; the most uCcessful way is 10 anchor your
boat in the current and let Your line trail down
with the same TO about three or four yards from
deep water. TIE best time to take them with a
fly is when they are about depcslting their spawn
This time will be earlier 10 southern waters thar
in northern. Shad take the fly freely from
daylight until 0 A. NJ, and from A. NJ, till
dark.

Judge Brady and His Reasons for Not
Granting a Pre-emptory Writ.
Ex-Warden Tracy's long protracted endeavors
through the channel Of court litigation, to get his
bill squared for supplies furnished during the last
seven months previous to December, 1870, does not
seem to be attended thus far with any positive
cess His original bill for the time mentioned was
some $2s.ooo OF which he was paid about one -half,
and though the Board Of supervisors mad audited
the bill and pronounced 1t all right, no further
payment was made, on the ground OF there being
no appropriation to cover II. Upon this appca-
ton was made to Judge Brady, in Supreme
Court, Chambers, for writ OF peremptory manda-
mus against County Auditor Earle to audit the
bilI and against tae Comptroller to pay it.. Judge
Brady gave mis- decision IN the yesterday, en-
bodying the same in the following opinion:-

COURT Of OYER AND TERMINER.

Two Alleged Swindlcrs Who Do Not Like
the SituatiOn-The MacGregOr Case
The Purvis Murder Trial.
Before Judge Brady.
On the reassemDling of this Court yesterday
morning the court room was crowded In the ex-
pectati0n that some important case would be
taken up for trial. In this regard the throng in at
tendance was disappointed. Some matters OF pub
Tic interest were, however, brought forward for
judicial notice. The first case to which attention
was called was tnat OF Edward A. Evans and
Edward Harley, who were brought into court upon
wrlts OF habeas corpus procured by their counsel
Mr.. William +. Knitting. These men 1t appeared
were recently committed by Police Justice Murray
to answer charge of conspiracy. AS Mr..
Kintzlng stated the case an advertisement was pub
lshed IN newspaper tor q collector In wholesale
liquor house, and among the respondents was
Frank Drought, fresh arrival from the rural dis
trjcts. He called at the place specified on First
talked over the matter and finally arranged TO
enter into their service for $40 week, with q
promise OF Increase OF salary at the end OF month.
AS q guarantee Tor his honesty he was required TO
deposit IN their hands $500, which he did, recelv-
ing IN return their note providing for the repay.
notice. As he was given nothing to do, and seeing
the same advei tisemeut repeated, he sus-
paid back his money on Demanding It, caused
the arrest oil the two men, with the result as al
ready stated.
Mr.. Klntzlng asked first that the men be dis.
charged, claiming that there had been no viola.
ton OF the agreement entered into between the
suit.
Assistant District Attorney Allen, in opposing
the application stated that the District Attorney
had received Information that these men had been
engaged IN this kind OF business for some time
and playing on the unsuspecting.
Mr.. kfntzlng, after an lntmatiOn from Judge
Brady that on the damaging statement made by
Mr.. Allen he could not discharge, asked a reduc-
ton oil their bail.
Mr.. Allen opposed this saying that their case
would at once be laid before the Grand Jury and
q speedy trial assured.
Judge Brady virtually reduced the bail one-haf
by allowing the Commissioner to Justify only Ia the
amount OF ball, which had been fixed at 1000
each, instead OF twice the amount, Is usually the
case.
James @. MacGregor, ex-Superintendent OF
OF false payrols, and, through his counsel, ex-
Judge DittenhoeIer, pleaded not guilty.
The trial OF James Purvis, Indicted for killing
coored man last January, was, at request OF MT.
William +. Howe, MS counsel, set down lot next

In 1872 Langton Osborne tried his luck at stock
speculation and employed Henry Clews b 20. as
uty OF securities as margin. At length Ciews 4 Co.
sent IN their account, showing an Indebtedness to
them by Mr.. Osborne OF Ss4,025 o. To this the
latter objected ana set up claim OF usurlOus
interest. In the most natural way the matter
got into the Court where 1t Is now. Mr.. Osborne
asked Ior reference. to which Messrs. Clews
co. objected. Upon this application Judge
Lawrence yesterday gave his decision as follows:-
"A compulsory reference should not be ordered in
this case. The complaint charges that several
items OF defendants account are false erroneous
and improper, and that the rates or interest in
MANY particulars are usurlOus. The defendants
set up q special argument upon the existence and
validity OF which the whole case turns. The case
defendants. Arelerence may be necessary before
the final determination OF the action; but the s-
sues raised by the peadings as TO the special con-
tract SHOULD first be disposed Of"
