Adjourned Until Monday.

Adjourned Until Monday.
New YORK, April 8.
There were fewer spectators in atten-
dance at the trial this morning than usual.
The plaintiff was the first to enter the
court room defendant and wife came in
shortly after. Mr.. Beach was absent from
the trial, and after the court was opened
Mr.. Fullerton rose and said they were
much embarrassed this morning by the
bsencc of Mr. Beach, who was i'll and
laboring under an attack of neuralgia
headache, and counsel asked for a few
moments to consult with his colleagues as
to the course they should take. Mr..
Fullerton, after few moments consulta-
ton, arose and said Your Honor Con-
sidering the importatance of the case and
the great responsibility that rests on cOun-
sci, it is proper that we should ask that
this case would lie over until Monday,
unless Mr.. Beach should come in soon.
We are without the aid OF our associate
Gen. Pryor, and as far as Judge Morris
and myself are concerned, we are I'M
willing to take the responsibility of
conducting this case without aid.
As matter of course the evidence of
the witness is of very great Importance,
and the events to which his attention is
hereafter to be called will have a very great
influence on the case, and we desire the
presence of Mr.. Beach before we proceed.
Your honor is probably aware that he is to
present this case to the jury, and he would
certainly be taken at disadvantage if not
present to hear all the testimony and derive
all the advantages which follow from the
presence of counsel in court. l have had
no message from him this morning He
may be here. If not, l will have to ask
for an adjournment Judge Morris also
added know he was yesterday suffering
severely and unable to take food during
recess, and was in distress all day. hard
ly think there is any probability of his ar
irving. Mr.. Evarts-No doubt the sug-
gestions of my friends are quite suitable to
the position. Mr.. Beach, unfortunately,
from draught, took cold the day before
yesterday, and intimated to me that he felt
fears of some serious consequences of this
kind, that is neuralgia pains, though
otherwise he is very strong man, as
we know, The expectation on our part
was that we should conclude the evidence of
the witness to-day, but think it proper to
intimate that there may arise some ques-
lions as to the admission of evidence, and
in that view the day might be one in which
the attendance OF your associate might be
more than ordinarily important, and if the
evidence was closed it would be incapable
of reconsideration. When your honor sent
me telegram as to the death of Mrs. Mel
son, widow of the late eminent judge, /
did not know but that your honor might
think of not holding court to-day, but i
have heard of nothing on the subject from
your honor Judge Nelson have the
strongest impression myself that Mr.. Beach
will not be here. Ex-Judge Porter He
ought not to have been here yesterday he
would be to-day if he could, and l never
knew him to fail at the post of duty, I'M
less in case of absolute or dire necessity.
Judge Nelson remarked that the kindly
manner in which the proposal is received
op the other side is very gratifying, and
we will now adjourn the court until Mon
day morning at II o'clock. The court
then adjourned.
