Court Notes.

TO RECOVER THE GOODYEAR ASSETS. In the probate court yesterday morning proceedings were begun to establish the ownership of the two horses which are said to belong to the insolvent estate of A. M. Goodyear, who kept livery stable on Chapel street near Union, and who recent 1y made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. The horses in question were recently taken to Peekskill, N. Y., by James F. Baker of 1866 State street, this city, and sold there. Lawyers William A. Wright, George R. Cooley and L. N Bly, denburgh examined Baker, Paul Blieske, who was foreman at Goodyear's stable, and Patrick F. Delaney who conducted saloon at 1866 State street. The object of the lawyers was evidently, from the questions asked by Lawyers Cooley and Wright, to show conspiracy on the part of these men, and possibly others, to dispose of the horses, or to prove that there had been an illegal sale in which the three had been concerned.
 Mr. Cooley appeared for John Morse, trustee of the Goodyear estate. In answer to MT. Cooley's questions Baker said that he took two horses, bay mare and roan, from pasture in Northford without per mission of a MT. Story, who held the ani- mals as security for the endorsement of a note. He left the horses over night in the barn of John Connors on State street, and the next morning he took them over the Eerby turnpike to Birmingham, Newtown, Danbury and then to Peekskill. He offered them for sale on the way, and sold one for $40 at Lake Mahopac and the other for $125 at Peekskill. He said he was asked to sell the horses by Paul Blieske, who claimed to have bought them from Goodyear.
 Blieske, who has been foreman at Good years stables for about year and was previously employed on the State Street Horse railroad, testified on August Good year offered to sell him six horses, seven wagons and the corresponding outfits for $500. He accepted the offer and took the property to stable near Cedar Hill. He rick F. Delaney, giving as security his note endorsed by Story. AS security for the endorsement he turned the horses over to Story and put two of them out to pasture at Northford. On August he saw Baker and told him to take the horses and sell them for what he could get, not speaking to Story about it, however, as he knew the latter was eager to have the horses sold so as to get his money back. lie further testified that he took two large boxes, containing stable utensils, whips, etc., from Goodyear's stable, left them at Delaney's saloon and later took them to his own barn. He did not know what had become of these goods. The horses, as shown from the testimony, were taken from the stable after Good years property was in a keepers posses sion.
 Delaney was called and testified sub stantially to the same facts.
