WHO OWNS THE COLT?

The question Of the ownership of four-year-old
colt, by Messenger Duroc, out of Lady Emma has
led to suit In which Charles Welde, a Harlem
builder, and William Esselmont, trainer, appear
plaintiff and defendant. The value of the animal is
said to be $4,000, and its first Samuel A.
Nolan. who sold it to Albert Nolan. The latter
decided it to Mrs. Samuel Nolan. and she in turn
executed bill Of sale to Ernest A. Needham, to
secure the latter $1,000 loaned by him to her
husband. Shortly afterward it is said she executed
a second mortgage on the horse to James Paddock.
security for money likewise due from her hus-
band Then, while Ncedham had possession of the
animal. Samuel Nolan claiming lien for its keep,
assigned his claim to Mr.. Welde as security for
large sum Of money which he owed the latter. The
plaintiff maintains that since then the colt has been
legally in his possession, but Mr. Needham declares
that it legally remained IN his possession until
last September, when he sold il to Mr.. W. Armont.
Since Mr.. Weldo claims to have obtained legal pos
session of the bone of contention it has been in the
hands of several trainers. of whom Mr.. Esselmont,
the defendant is the last in point of time. by means
of writ OF replevin the animal is now in the pos
session OF Mr.. Wede; but Mr.. Esselmont wants $500
for his services as trainer. Judge McGown. of the
Harlem Civil Court will hear both sides fully before
deciding the much vexed question of ownership.

THE COURTS.

AN AGED LADY's COMPLAINT AGAINST HER SONS.
The testimony in the case of Mrs. Fannie Solomon,
an aged Hebrew lady nearly seventy years old taken
before Mr. William Moser referee. was submitted
yesterday to Judge Gildersleeye in the Court of
General Sessions. An application made by
Major Noah, behalf Of the Commissioners of
Charities and Correction, to compel the
sons of Mrs. Salomon-Leopold. Felix and
Aifred--to support her. it being averred
that for want of maintenance she likely to be-
come charge on the county. Mr.. Leopold Joras-
lawsk also appeared for the petitioner and assisted
Major Noah in reading mass of testimony which de-
veloped very unhappy state of affairs. The family
formerly resided in Division street, where they
ried on the tin business. In 1875 Mrs. Solomon
went to Metz, having previously separated FROM
her husband. where she remained in hospital about
two years On her return to this country, the petit
ton alleges that, being destitute of means, her sons
refused to support her, and consequently She
claimed the relief provided by law. The de-
fence set up that Mrs. Solomon was
exceedingly penurous, and in the way of cur
failing household expenses had secretly accumulated
large amount of money for which she failed to ac-
count to her Many witnesses were examined
on both sdes-those for the petitioner going to show
that her doing good business as paper
box manufacturers in Worth street, and the other
hand that she could not have expended all the money
presumed to have been saved by her. The case was
set down by Judge Gildersleeve for argument on
Wednesday next.

Surrogate Calvin some time ago, a suggestion was
made by the Surrogate that the OF $4,000 in
gold which the income left to Cornelius by his
father, should be placed by the executors in some
trust company fund for his benefit.
This was deemed advisable II the only in
tercst he had in the estate An affidavit was mean
time filed by the counsel for William II. Vanderbilt
setting forth that within few weeks after the will
had been admitted To probate this fund had been
posted by the trustees in the Treasury Washing
ton, since which tine Cornelius had regularly
drawn the income In verifcation OF this
allegation his receipts were produced.
The matter set down for argument
yesterday, and when the case was called Mr.
Scott Lord, counsel for Cornelius j.. said that the
affidavit seemed to bo perfectly satisfactory and il
appeared that the fund was perfectly secured AS to
the removal of the trustees, Mir. Clinton said that
they. having accepted the trust. could not this
time shirh the responsibility which they had AS
sumcd.
Surrogate Calvin replied that he was satisfied that
tho whole matter could be adjusted, and accordingly

with a liner, ramming along through all

rounding the Isle Of Wight In full SAIL"
Kingsley admired greatly the kind OF turn
out saw on Sunday. / remember his telling
me that the Americans are first against the
world IN pair-horse driving with four wheels,
which, he Thought delightful method OF
travelling. They have reduced 1t to q
science" he said; sit is the safest form OF
travelling, Tor one horse steers the other, and
accidents are OF rare occurrence Then he
held That man VINO can drive one horse can
drive two, and thata vicious horse harnessed
with an old stager was certain to be conquered
in time. Il have tried It," he said "whatever
the victorious brute did the old horse declined
to do, and when my bad one began to kick
and rear the other brought him to a dead
lock" Henry Kingsley was not generally
known as great lover OF sports, but he knew
more about driving and riding and shooting
and boating than any literary man I have
ever met. Ii he had lived, Major Whyte-
Melville would have had q rival in the field of
sporting fiction, for the author of Godfrey
Hamlin" told me he intended to write an en-
tirely new novel, the plot OF which should
run clean through the shires, to be fed
with descriptions Of English field and road
pastimes. By the way, In addition to the
novel, BLACK, the Comely," Whyte- Melville
has left behind him number Of papers and
poems The drama founded on his novel Of
"Cerise" was completed and had been read by
Henry Neville. Dealing with black rebel.

the present time, though heroines who fire of
pistols are not generally popular at the West
End
