Bennett came along, he paused and told Schatter to
wake up. He did SO. but missed his watch and
chain and 81 in money. Two confederates were in
attendance and. alleged. the stolen property
handed to them. Schatter made no outcry. but
quietly followed Bennett until he met an officer
to whom he told his story Bennett was
arrested and tried yesterday in the
Court of General Sessions The complainant
narrated the foregoing facts. stating that he had
never.lost sight of Bennett from the time he spoke
to him until his arrest. The accused, in his own
behalf. denied that he had committed the offence
charged. adding that he had been out playing the
flute at q social gathering and that when passing
through Thirty-eighth street with friend he saw
no person In the neighborhood. The jury found
him guilty, and it appearing that while on the way
to the station house after his arrest he threw away

decision rendered yesterday by Judge
Choate in the United States District Court in the
suit in admiralty Charles G. Endcott and others
against Potter A. H. Renauld and Others This was
libel IN personam by the owners OF the schooner
Susan b. Ray against the consgnees of the cargo to
balance of freight moneys alleged to be due
upon the delivery Of the cargo in New York. Tho
cargo consisted of 238 hogsheads. 4ss boxes and
25l0 bags of sugar. 1t shipped in Havana under
bills Of lading, by which it to be delivered in
the like good order and condition" when shipped
he dangers and accidents OF the and navigation
of whatever nature kind excepted" The libel
order in which they were received the dangers anu
accidents OF the seas only excepted Inc answer
AYERS that tine sugars were delivered reuuceu III
quantity and in damaged conditions; that the loss
and damage were not caused py periis ol snu se
by "the carelessness, unskilfulness ana wrongful
Rcts'' Of the master, officers and seainen OF tue
vessel and by defective dunnage, storage ana I'M
proper handling ard want of care OF the sugars on
the voyage. The vessel had centre poaro anu tne
damaged bags and boxes were found adjoining to or
near the trunk OF this centreboard which rose nine
feet in the hold The question raised was whether
the damage was caused by peril of the sea or by in
sufficient dunnage Judge Choate, after reviewing the
testimony says -I think 1t clear that the dunnage
was insufficient protect thecargo against ordinary
leakage ut this point. 1t may be the misfortune OF
the snip in having this peculiar construction, and
this il danger against which the ship has under
taken to guard the cargo. Springng aleak in rough
weather may be peril Of the sea. but it must be a
leak serious than what is here described as the
usual or common leak, and one which the pumps
would hardly reach. There must be . decree giving
tho respondents their damages to be deducted from
for hbellants and Messrs II. 4. Davies and j. Phil

next taken up. There were stock yards at Buff
falo, Deposit and Salamanca; In a case pro-
posed by Mr.. Sternc. witness admitted that
there might be determinations against cattle
raised In New York; ono great cause of trouble
in the live stock business was that shippers would
send local freight through way bills IN order to
get the advantage of the lower through freight tho
earliest attempt to form pool this subject
made Ia June. 1IT5. by the evening system; pro-
portions OF division between the railroads were
hxed at 80 per cent each for the Fort Wayne
