THE THIRD AVENUE BANK.

The Third Avenue Bank case was commenced in the
Flfty.seventh street Court yesterday. Mr. Henry I.
Clinton made elaborate argument for the defence
The substance OF IL that the act OF 1857 imposed
duties upon bank officials aud permitted the bank
superintendent record and verify reports by reason
OF which, whilo tha, act in force, wlfuIy false
swearing was made perjury. In May, 1875, that act
repealed there being no saving clause with refer
ence TO offences committed under the prior act By
of the repeal Of the statute OF 1851 all offences
committed under IL are necessarily extnguished. In
the language OF the Court OF Appeals, u is tho as
though the law Of 1857 had existed. And there
lore as there could be offence except under that
law any offence committed under that statute Is gone
forever The OF the Legislature and the decision OF
the Court Of Appeals responsible for this and His
Honor could not 60 behind them.
Mr.. Clinton then proceeded to cite numerous docls.
ions from tno laws Of England and this country TO
strengthen his position According 70 an understand
ing the last adjournment Mr. Fitch, counsel for the
plaintiff was receive time 10 examine any new
points which the defence might bring forward, and for
this purpose tho adjournment extended from next
Wednesday 10 two weeks from yesterday, when the
will DO finally disposed OF so far as this court Is
