Anker. made the complaint, and that it is contra
dicted In many points by all OF his (Anker's) wit
and In all points by two other emigrants tho
only passengers that could be found about New York.
Mr. Morris claims that Anker the only person
who attempted repeatedly to smoke the hay,
and that he had to be driven away by some other
passengers. He says that there wero only twenty
ive calves board, whose stalls were regu-
larly cleaned before five A. NJ, when the complain
ant was yet asleep. and that there was person on
board believed by several passengers to DO the com
painant who attempted to incite the immigrants to
make complaint In New York, telling them that
the company would then have To refund the passage
money. lie further states that no complaint was
made during the voyage to either captain, doctor or
ON sers, although these officials visited the stecrage
daily and that all the passengers praised the food

Judge Gildersleeve yesterday opened the August
Term Of the Court of General Sessions. Only eight
teen of the Grand Jurors summoned to serve re-

Judge Gildersleeve called attention the various
violations of law set forth by statute In relation
to their investigation of the cases coming before

and base all their conclusions upon the legal tosti-
mony before them and to be led indifference
by the apparent uniin Importance and trvality OF an
offence urged hastily to actions by reason
OF the revolving heinous character OF alleged
crime. The Grand Jury should never forget they
had sworn to present one from envy, hatred or
malice, aud to leave no one unpresented through
fear. favor affection hope of reward. All classes
of offenders deserved that calm dispassionate and
unbiased consideration that should characterize
every act Of the Grand Jury.

THE COURTS.
INTERESTING MORTGAGE QUESTION.

ANALhroliN0 hOhItAStE QUtSIlON.
The Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas
has just decided question OF importance to invest
on bond and mortgage. The point arose in the
case of Henry sidenberg Catherine Ely and
others. which was brought for the foreclosure OF
mortgage executed to the Etna Insurance Company
by one William g. Ely. in 1926 to secure the sum OF
$4,000 and interest In 1872 the Excelsior Life In
surance Company took an assignment of the mort
gage knowing that there were taxes unpaid upon
the property to the amount Of some 81. l.G40 which
they paid, claiming the right to add the sum so ex
pended to the mortgage debt. In 1875 Mr. Siden-
berg took an assignment of the mortgage and it's
accumulations from the Excelsior Company, and
taxes to the amount Of about $500 remaining un-
paid. He paid the same ana subsequently brought
this action to foreclose for the original
principal sum OF the mortgage. together with
the amount paid for taxes by the Excelsior Com
pany and himself. The property before the accumu
lation OF the taxes so paid having been devised for
life to one OF the defendants and the remainder hav
ing been devised to certain others of the defendants
the remainder men claimed that, us the life tenant
was bound to pay the taxes the mortgage could not
intervene and pay the same and then add the amount
to the mortgage debt, charging the estate of the
remainder men with an expenditure the life tenant
should have borne. TheplaDtitf the other hand,
claimed that the equities between the life tenant and
the remainder men could not limit his right to pay
taxes for the protection of his mortgage security
especially as the law provides way by which the
remainder men could have compelled the payment
of the taxes and SO have prevented their accumula
proposition, has decided that the plain
tiff is entitled to judgment of foreclosure
for the amount paid for taxes we'll for the
original sum secured by the mortgage Another
interesting point decided was that when interest only
is due at the time OF the commencement Of a fore
closure action but the principal falls due before the
trial, decree may be had for principal well in
teres and the plaintiff will not be put action
for the principal sum. The importance to the pubic
OF this determination is that it gives holder of
mortgage right to pay taxes which the owner of
the property allows to remain unpaid and to add the
sum expended TO the sum secured by the mort
gage. Such provision is usually expressly inserted
in mortgages and is known as the ''tax clause but
this decision secures such right to mortgage
mortgage not. Mr.. William Strauss appeared tor
the plaintiff and Messrs j. w. Howe AID Jeremiah
Loder tor the defendants.
