GENERAL TERM CILENDdR.
An Action to Set Aside Proceedings of Coniis-
cation-The viii OF Rear-h dmirnl Colds
borough Filed. All His Property Lef. to
the Widow-Damagcs Against n Street
Railroad Company Granted.
The interest In judicial matters at the Court
House yesterday appeared to center In the dcings OF
the General Term, aud the audience congrcgated Ia
the chamber OF the court banc, leaving Chier Jus
tce Cartier most ofthe day with 10 cprporsis guard
to attend his session, The mcsgrc number Of spec
tator', however, proved no dctrimrnt to the pro-
gress of busncss, aud the causes went forward u.
rapidly IS circumstances would admit.
In the supreme Court, the event of the day was
the sppesrsnce Of General BENJAMIN y. But
ler, who delivered an able argument IN bensir
OF the PLAINTIFF In the suit of Hoyey Dole against
Mcdonald aud wight, wherein the former claims
aSo'ooo professional fec for services rendered de-
Fndsns, In securing an allowance OF 500 900 from
The United states Government, for cotton captured
and appropriated during the recent war; He re-
ceiyed the closest attention from tho court and au.
dh nee. The cause began the day previous aud con-
sumcd nearly all OF the session yesterday. The
work on the calender dlminishcs very slowly, aud
at the present rate OF proceeding IL would be cS-
ccCdiDEy difcult to tell when No. H. which stands
at the foot, will be reached. Aflcr concluding the
hearing Of No. Co. yesterday, the court retrsccd Its
steps and took up No. b which will occupy much Of
the lime to-day.
