In the United states Circuit Court yesterday the (irand Jury which had been empannelled lor the Murch term came into Court beloro Judge Benedict, ana presented a number of indictments against persons who have been called "Doctors," for sending obscene articles through the malls. They also presented Indictments ugainst ex Senator Qrnham, for embezzling the lunds ot the Walklll National Bank, and K. L.

Mr. Taintor, who has been indicted for embezzling about four huadred thousand dollars, the property ot the Atlantic Bank, will bo called upou to plead. The QrandJurv wilt be em pannelled and charged, but beyond this It Is not likely tkat any other crimiuul business will be trans acted, as Judge Smailey is to continue the trial of a venue case that has already occupied several days, and the new temporary court room at 27 Chambers street is not yet ready. There will, In all probability, be an ad journment of the Criminal Court tor a week. John W. Norton, Superintendent of the Money Order Department of the Post Office, who has been charged with embezzling $115,0J0, the property of the government, gave ball yesterday, belore Commissioner Shields, in the cum of $10,000.

The mortgages amount to some three hundred thousand dollars and the sale has been ordered by the rcfereo to take place within a lew days. The application was urged on the ground that the property would be sacrificed if sold now, and further, that the "Boss" was negotiating with capitalists to raise the money to pay off the mortgage. Judge Fancher de nied the application aud said the sale must proceed. A THIRTY YEAES' LITIGATION. Carious and Interesting Suit?What Came of Marrying an Actress?A Mil lion Dollars Worth of Central Park Lots the Bone of Legal Contention. Applied to the chancery practice of Kugland, the suit ?' Jarndyce vs. Jurndyce Is not altogether a fanciful sketch. It is not very often, however, in this country, in which everything Is pushed forward at liluh-pressure speed that suits linger very long in the Courts. Occa sionally there Is an exception, and yesterday this wag given by Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Spe cial Term, a decision in a case which has been in litiga tion tor thirty years. FACTS or THK CASE. On September 26, 1.139. John Ma.*on died In tills city, owning real and personal estate, then valued at over one million dollars. He letl eight children, among them James Mason. Some time before his doath his son Jamc had offended him by marrying a Miss Whcatley, ?? actress, and he bad settled him on a farm on Long Isl?Q<l, which was held In trust for him, and in his will le? him an annuity 01 $2,MQ a year for life, with a remainder to his children. Litigation was begun to set aside *>l? will, and after the exhaustion of nearly every form of Utiga tion the will was finally broken, and James Mason was declared entitled to one-eighth of his father'" estate in 18S6. This was the part allotted to him, Ucludes ninety lots near what is now the Central Park, with othor real estate. During his litigations Mr. James J. Itmg was his counsel aud his charges were in all solve one hundred rfnd sixty-five thousand dollars. After a settlement or their accounts Mr. King claimed and vr. Mason conveyed to him forty-flve of the ninety *>ta under what wag claimed to be the old agreement Soon alter this Mr Mason. who was then advised oy Mr. Cone as his attor ney, determined to recover t?e?e forty-five lots. Shortly niter the commencetnc?i of the litigation Mr. Mason sent a retailer to Mr. Oram, and, admitting Its Inga'eiency, suggested that he take a share ?i the lots as his fee, which would thup be contingent on success. After ?ome demur, Mr. tram asrreed to accept one-third of tho lots as his share. About this time (Juuo I. 185H) Mr. Mason, his llrst wlie lia'ing died, married Maria I<ouisa Mason, the plaintitt in.lns suit, a minor, who would not reach her maioritv intli September 1, 186:>, thus tying up his Teal estate, sr tar as a sale was concerned, lor over Ave rears. On examining the title ot the lots. Mr. Cram round that ney were heavily encumbered with unpaid taxes and Assessments, bearing heavy interest and en dangering somewhat tlie property Itself. Judge Hoff man gavs a decision in the case in favor of Mr. Mason. Mr. ( ran Immediately notified Mr. Mason. After this notification Mr. Mason, being unable to raise money on his property owing to tne minority ot his wife, sug Jrcstei.' through Mr. Cone that Mr. Cram purchase the orty five lota. After some negotiation, all or which was conducted by Mr. Cram with Mr. Cone, it was agreed that Mr. Cram should nurennse the two-thirds ol the property he did hot hold under the first agreement at ?il/JOO; that $1,000 in cash should be paid by Mr. Cram; that out of the $40,000 he should pay the taxes and afttexa mrnta on the property, and should give a mortgage for tie balance, which turned out to be about $30,000; hut that this mortgage should Itear no interest until the close of the suit. Mr. Cram waa to bear the expenses of the Hit and Indemnify Mr. Mason against any costs. In 1*W an arrangement was made with Ming by which Mason or, la fact. Cram was to he repaid all taxes aud assessments thereafter paid in ca?e of King's success. The suit dragged along liv ap peals and references to October, 1H66, when it was finally Closed, but In 1864 a decision of theCourt of Appeals a? Armed Mr. Mason's rights to the real estate, and the rest Of the litigation only concerned the amount that should be repaid by tho estate of Mr. King-lie having mean while died?to Mr. Mason. In 1H6!S Mr. Mason quarrelled With Mr. Cone anil Mr. Cram. Ills new attorneys were Messrs. Therasson and Bryant Mr. Cram made demand on Mr. Mason to fulfil his contract. His new counsel ad vised him that this contract could not be enforced, but he. expressing great tear of Mr. Cram and great dread of new litigation, decided to carry It out. 111 place of a now release of dower by the wife a deed of the property was executed by both. His wife acknowl edged the deed In tho usual form, but she testified 111 this suit that she was influenced to do it uy her husband, who told her his honor was pledged to It This deed waa exe cuted .November 2(>, lied. aud Mr. Cram at once paid the ?30.000. The stamps ho placed on the iloed represented a ?value of $300,000. James Mason died July 23, l*iU, and hia widow, as sole legatee, alter tendering $100,000 to Mr. Cram for his expenses and outlay, brought suit to set aside the agreement of September, IW.-and the deed of November, lrtfifi. Tho trial of this suit commenced about a month ago, before Judge Van Brunt, us slated above, ami lasted about three weeks. Judge Van Brunt gave hia declaiou yesterday. junnic taw lmrrwr's nwisioi*. Judge Van Brunt in his opinion holds that transactions between an attorney and client nrc subject to grave sus picion. and to I" carefully scrutinized by the f .urts. He E>inis out, however, that, according to the best evidence ey have, these forty-five lots, thirty-six on Sixty-second street, running from Fourth to Fifth avenue, and nine In the block between Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth streets ami Fourth and Fifth avenues, were then only valued at $78,000. That I41.UJ0 tor two-third* was not, therefore, so tar out of the way then, however greatly the value may have Increased since then, and that though in many respects the contract greatly favored Mr. Crane by Its ?arms, there were on tho other aide the doubt ?' the event of the suit, ami the probability should it turn out oniavorahly that all the moneys paid ly him for taxes and assessments might lie loot. He compliments highly the plaintiff's attorneys for not only withdrawing the < barge against Mr. Cram that he procured the agreement before Informing Mason of lod(? Hoffman s decision, but produced the evidence which was Ik their sole possession which cleared him of which di7nWtK 'Aa*" *n 1101 of hon*?'y Ol course, in a suit of this magnitude, tho property In question being valued at $1,000i> Si, there' was a ?.? tUjue of aide lawrcD. on Both Sides The plaintiff's counsel/were Mr. William A.

COURT OF OYEE AND TERMINER. Train To Be Tried at aa Early ?ay-A Habeas Cor pa* CaM?Trial of Pa trie ft Ltary. Before Jodge Davis. There ww bat a brlei session of the Court yesterday, and the large crowd present, who came in the anticipa tion of s*me spicy development* In the case of (Jeorue Francis Train, ad.iourued (ruin the day previous, was daunted 'to disappointment. Mr. Bell, the lawyer or Train, reiterated his former ar gument, insisting that the indictment against Train was not valid on account of its indeflnitenesa. Asalstunt District Attorney Lyons contended that the Indlctmont was valid, and that there was no reason why the trial should not be proceeded with upon It. JadKO Davis held that the indictment, although slightly detective aud bad in form, could be remedied by a ver dict, and that as Mr. Train hail already pleaded to it, he would try him on It as it stood. Mr. Bell?1 desire that an early day be set down for the trial Judge Davis?I urn anxious, for my parr,that the public mind do relieved 01 thin matter as speedily as possible. Mr. Lyons?We will give hiui a trial at the earnest pos sible day. ABOUT TMK CUSTODY 0? A CHILD. James Hovey was arraigned on a rhurge of contempt of Court. It appeared that some three years ago Mrs. Frank Clark g;ive her infant child to Mrs. Hovey to take care of. and that she now seeks to obtain possession of the cnlld. Having obtained a writot halieas corpus di recting Mr. Hovey to produce the child in Court, be, it seems on tlie writ being served on him, tore it up and paid no attention to it Judge Davis ordt red liovey to be committed tor contempt of Court, lie hud hardly given an order to this effect when Mrs. Hovey appeared on the scene and stoutly begged the release ot her husbaml. She said she was promised $i: a week lor taking care of tlie child, aud that it was only Just she should receive all that was due her before giving it bd. Judge Davis told her she must tiring the child Into Court and he would tken examine into the merits of the case, lie directed a She rill 's deputy to go with the woman while she went alter the child. Mrs. Hovey, with a deputy sheriff, left the court room, but returned in a lew minutes, saying that the officer would not ^'o with her, and that she was airald If she brought the child alone. Its mother, who had several row dies outside to help her, would take it away from her. Judge Davis said he would give her till to-day to pro duce the child, and meantime he promised that she should he protected In her right*. TilE CASK or PATRICK LEAST.

MARINE COURT-PART I An Important Case?A. Falae Paper Pat In Evidence?Prompt Decision by tlie Court. Before Judge Joachim sen. Jones vs. O'Connor.?This wa* an action to recover $230 for architect's services, claimed to have been performed in connection with additions and alterations to buildings 21 and 23 Third avenue, Brooklyn. A leature in the case was presented during the course of the testimony which Induced the Conrt to hold an agreement purporting to have been entered into between the parties for the pur pose of sending It to the District Attorney for his action in the matter. The tacts of the case were briefly these :? Tlie plaintift swore that he contracted to draw up certain plans and specifications of additions and alterations to be done to the premises 1? question, aud to-draw up similar pacers as plans ?r the erection of a hotel the building ot which he to superintend as architect. For the former work he v'is to receive $1UU, but the de fendant extended his d'Sign and additional work was thrown upou the plain1"- 'no latter while on the Htand was shown a paper hearing his signature purporting to be a new agreement between the parties. J'he witness swore positively tl*t the signature was not his; that It was aa imitation his handwriting, but a poor one at that Subscquer^y the defendant swore that it was the signature of theP'aintlfl, and the defendant's son swore he saw him sii" it in the presence of tlie notary public whose slgnat?re and seal it bore. In the words of Judge Joachlmsen'he paper was, consequently, either a lor gery, supplied by perjury, or it wasgenaiue aud sought vij be Invalidated by perjury. Plaintiff's sou was a subscribing witness to the paper, but he could prt swear whether lie had subscribed to it In the presence of the notary public or not although that officii perfected the Instrument by his own signature ani<seal, thu document Itself was a "patched up" affair, ttIU bore evident signs of suspicion about it which could njt be explained away to the satisfaction of the Court or ?lie jury. The defendant's case was that the plaintiff had failed to finish his wi.rk within the specified time, and that he was always unprepared on the several occasions the defendant called upon him for the plans, Ac. Tlie plainulf, in contradiction of this, swore that he had yet two weeks within which to complete the work when the defendant ordered hiui to desist, and gave the worn, to another party. It was also contended for the defendant that he was not the principal, but the agent of the owners of tlie property In question. It was sworn by other wit nesses that the work executed, although unfinished, was worth >140. Judge Joachlmsen, In charging the Jury, said, with ref erence to the argument in question :?" If such an agree ment was made by Jones, the plaintiff, that was the end of the case. But the contract is brought into court, and the uroot with regard to It is, that the certificate to It was not honestly and truly made by the public officer by whom It Is purported to have been signed, while the paper itself bears other evidence that it is fraudulent and that it never was signed by the plaintiff. Now. the defendant la bound to show that the Instrument was signed, sealed and delivered by the plaintiff In the action, lie attempts to show this by himself and his son. You heard the state ments of both. Part of it was prepared in Brooklyn and part in >ew York, but whereabouts and what particular additions wore made to it neither can say. Neither can locale himself beyond being in the store. No. 6 Chatham street where they claim It was perfected. If it was drawn ap in good faith there was no occasion to paste a piece to it as tpere was plenty of space on the back to complete it It Hears the signature oi a notary public, with his seal, and It bears also a revenue stamp; and yet neither the plaintiff nor his son can inform vou where these were attached, on the other hand, it cannot be supposed for a moment that the plaiutill would sign such an agreement as that purports to be; for Its conditions would be all against himself. If you are satisfied that this paper has been tampered with, and therefore not a genuine paper, but brought here to deceive you, you will dismiss it from your consideration and give a verdict for the plaintiff. If oil the other hand you believe that it comes before you in its nurity, uutampcred with and unaltered, you will give the defendant the benefit of it Vcrdict for the plaintiff. $130. At the conclusion of the case Judge Joachlmsen took charge of the agreement referred to, with the intention of sending it to the District Attorney for his action in tho matter. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. The Trial of "Wei" Allan for Alleged Burglary. Before Jndge Sutherland. The trial of Wesley Allen, who Is jointly Indicted with Martin Allen and a man named Wiley, for attempting to commit a burglary upon the fancy goods store of Kohl salt A Hons, Nos. 9, 11 and IS Mercer street on the night of the 28th of March, which was commenced on Monday, was continued. District Attorney Russell called a num ber of police officers of the Klghth precinct who testified to seeing the prisoners In the locality of Kohlsatt's store on the evening In question; to the fact that Wesley Allen was In company with the others at an oyster saloon In Canal street at eleven o'clock that night, and was handling a red pepper box, and to tho further fact that when "Wes" Allen was searched at the station house a brass padlock was found in his possession. The first witness railed by the defence was Mrs. Sarah Daley, who undertook to account tor Allen's possession of the padlock by saying that on the 27th of March she requested him to purchase one for her closet door, and that William C. Hull, who was present at the time in her apartments W, Atntty street, said that ho would give him one whlcli he had at home. Tho lady stated that she accompanied "Wes." to a hall in Mercer street on the following night and that Hull, who was the manager ol the institution, gave Allen the lock. Mr. Hull was also examined by Mr. Howe. These witnesses were severely cross-examined by Assistant District Attorney RusselL A ??r.

How Nixon, the Murderer, Meets His Coming Fate^The Hralgnutiun and Religion* Hope He Manifests?I>evot Ion of Hla Wile?A Lark of Public Excite* meut aa to the Kxecutinn on Friday, The execution o! Nixon Is fixed lor Friday morn ing. ilia court no I, Mr. W. F. Howe, still continues bis unremitting exertions to obtain u stay or pro ceedings, and yesterday, with associate counsel, he applied to Judge In^alis, at Albany, for a stay of proceedings, lie also has asked Governor Dix for a respite to enable an argument ior a stay of proceedings to tie heard in the Court of Oyer and Terminer in this city. No decision In either case has becu arrived at yet. In the meantime Nlxou, with a wi?dom that Is very commendable, has resigned himself to his fate, and expects to die at the bands of the public executioner on Friday. Under the lalthlul and wise ministrations ol Father Ouranquut Nixon haH passed out or the region of despair which so thoroughly surrounded hltu lor 'several days after receiving his sentence into an unconditional resiunation to the awful circum stances in which he finds himself. This quiet calm ness is manifestly traceable to his implicit trust in the laith of his Church. Religion, as manifested In Catholicism, has lit up the valley and the shadow ol death, and he walks toward the threshold witn a consciousness of hope that fears no evil. In structed In ail Ills religious duties by Father l)u rantjuet lie has been an apt and confiding son, and he lias not now ior many days passed allowed his nnnd to be distracted by any other occupation than that of reading religious books. He objects decidedly to proiessionai Itierviows; he has a hor ror ol newspapers and a wholesome dread of notoriety, lie sees very Tew of his friends. His regular visitors are Father l)uranquet and the Sisters oi Mercy. His wite, of course, Is in attend ance every day upon him, and manifests the deepest solicitude for Ins comfort. The Scriptural aphorism, illustrative ol the devotion ot women, that finds its expression In "The last at the cross, the Mrst at the sepulchre," has its truthluiness shown in the faithful attendance of the wives of the murderers. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Simmons aud her beautiful children, Mrs. King and Mrs. Nixon were in the Tombs together; each of these doing ali that their love could suggest to smooth the pathway to the grave whlcn their re spective husbands are fast approaching. The oillcials at the Tombs are somewhat surprised at the apathy of the public in regard to the execution of Nixon. There Is no excitement manifested, there are comparatively few applications for ad mission to the prison, and the day appointed for the execution does not seem to be looked lorwaril to with any of the public Interest that generally sur rounds these dread events. Nixon is attended night and day by two deputy sberlllb. On Thurs day the gallows?that hideous wooden Instrument or death?will be brought out and erected In the priBon yard. Sheriff iSrennau has made everv ar rangement ior currying out the dread sentence of the law, and Under Sheriff Joel Stevons will, with his efficient staff ol deputy sheriffs, be found equal to the solemn occasion. Nixon's Last Hopea Fleeing. Albany, N. Y., May 18, 1873. Counsel for the man Nixon, wno Is condemned to be hanged in New York on Friday, was before Judge Miller, at Hudson, for a stay of proceedings, but, falling, he came to this city and made hiB ap Slicatlou tins aiternoon to Judge Grover in Chain ers. No decision or action will, however, be ren dered or taken to-night. Lllfll LUSlfiffiM. The Laat Honra of the Wife Murderer. Morblstown, N. J., May 13, 1873. Lulgi Luslgnanl, the Italian wile murderer, who to-morrow expiates his crime upon the gallows in Morristown, has developed another strange freak. A few days since he announced his Intention of starving himself to death, so as to anticipate his execution, and with this purpose in view be steadily refused the lood that was set before him. He adhered to his resolution for a day or two, but wan so inconsistent as to drink quantities or Rhine wine aud tea, which were supplied him by some or the inhabitants of Morristown, who sympathized with him In his uniortunate position. Lusignanl soon tired or the starvation dodge, finding how pleasant It was to live perhaps, aud has gone upon tne opposite tack. He has commenced to eat so ravenously that his meals are becoming too limited for him, although provisions enough lor any ordinary man In good health arc lurnished; but whether he is endeavor ing to kill himself by gluttony, as lie intended to do by starvation, cannot be ascertained, as lie has Slven no reason Ior tils sudden Increase of appe ite. Since his incarceration he lias been greatly addicted to profane language, ana. snd to say, as his end approaches this tendency Is not in the least abated. Ills spiritual advisers are doing all In their power to prepare him for his fate, but hith erto they have not met with much success. GRIME IN WILLIAMSBURG. Capture of Several Old Offenders on New Charges. Besides the large number of wealthy criminal* who live in style in Williomsbnrg, bat who practise their "profession" in more inviting fields, there Is a large class of petty larceny thieves and sneaks who give considera ble annoyance to families who canuot afford to keep a private watchman under pay.
