THE COURTS.
Important Decision in the Case of
Charles L Lawrence.
T1TE INDICTMENT SUSTAINED.
Responsibility foi* Colli
sions at Sea.
Recovering Lest Jewelry Un
der Difficulties.
Teresa Clifton Restored to Her
Parents.
In the United State* Circuit Court, Criminal Branch,
yesterday, In the ease of tho Cmteil .States vs. Charles
L. Lawrence, on demurrer, Jud e Benedict {rave the
following decision:?"The Indictment contains nine
counts, in sets of three each. Tho first count of each
?et charges the forging of a certain writing lor the pur
pose of defrauding the United States. The second
count of each set charges t^e uttering of a similar
writing with like intent. The third count in each set
charges that the defendant did transmit to nnd present
at an olllce of the United Stales a writing similar to j
that set forth In tho other counts. The writing set j
forth In the first set of counts is what is known as au j
owner's oath, required by law to be given beforo mak- |
log an entry of goods at the Custom House. The writing
ect forth in the second set of counts is an import entry.
The indictments are framed under the act of April 6,
18tM5, which provides a penalty for the forging of'any
bid, proposal, guarantee, official bond, public record,
affidavit or other writing' for tho purpose of defrauding
the United States. The first position taken in support
of the demurrer is that the rule of construction, accord
ing to which general words are restricted by particular
words, should be applied to this statute, and tho mean
ing of the words 'other writings' in this provision,
restricted so as to exclude Irom the operation of tho
statute such writings as are not set forth in this indict
ment. The rulo here invoked Is not au arbitrary rulo,
but one of mnny resorted to for the ascertainment of the
Intent of the legislator when such intent la not
otherwise apparent. To apply It to all geueral words
would often doleat the intention of the legislator, and
such, In my opinion, would be its effect il applied to
this statute. Nothing in the language used nor in the
mischief* intended to be remedied, nor the circum
stances under which tho statuto was enacted, indicates
that the words 'other writings' wore used in a re
stricted sense, but tho contrary. Various writings aro
mentioned, but thoy have no common objoct nor any
characteristic features cominou to all Irom which to In
fer an intention to restrict tho effect of the provision
to any particular class of writings. The object of the
act was to cover the forging of writings found to be
without tho scope of the act of 1823. The demurrer to
the indictment must be overruled." The trial oS Law
rence ha? been set down for December 15.
THE BARGE ARCTIC.
In th? United States District Court yesterday, in the
case of Loum Mayer, owner of the canal boat Karly and
Late, against tv^ steamboat llerald, the steamer Con- j
necticut and the Urge Arctic, Judge Blatchford ren- I
dered the following division:?
Although the motive iw*ver which gave the bargo her <
forward movement was in tho Herald, and she was ,
being towed soino distance unern of the Herald by a j
line from the stern of the Herald, yet slie was being I
guuled by the movement of her ow-.\'rudder, controlled
by the will and discretion of her own captain, who was
at the wheel in her pilot house. The bitvgo struck the
boat that was In front of the libelant's bow. nnd drove
tlio former against the latter and thus cans*] the in
Jury complained of It is plain that the Imrgc took a
sheer and went out of hcrpiopor course. Under tho
circumstance* it is for her to establish that the sheer
was caused by some fault on the part of the Herald.
This is not done; nor is any fault show n on the part ot
tho Connecticut. Tho libel is dismissed aB to the
Herald and the Connecticut and a decree will be en
tered In favor of the libcllant against the barge, with a
reference to ascertain the damage sustained by tho
libcllant.
A SINGULAR LOST JEWELRY SUIT.
A suit presenting somo rather novel features was
yesterday brought to trial before Judge Lawrence,
holding Supreme Court, Circuit. Wiiratn H. Ross and
bis wlfo wero among tho passengers taking | Mis-sage in
1858 from Havana to Charleston, S. C., in the steamer
Isabella. The stoamcr came to an anchor just outside
the harbor and tne passengers and baggage were trans
ferred to a steam tug nnd thence conveyed to the city.
Among tho baggage of Mr. Koss was a small black box,
containing jewelry and other valuables. This box he
failed to And among his baggage, but it subsequently
turned up on tho wharf of Spofford, Tillotson & Co., ol
this city, the consignees ot Mordccai h Co., who ran
the steamer. The suit was brought against tne latter 1
firm to recover the value of the lost jewelry. Before it
could reach a trial the civil war Intervened, which put
a stop to further proceedings. After tho close of tho
war tho suit was revived. In accordance with the usual
"laws delays'' it was a long time, however, In reaching
trial. As already stated the trial began yesterday, the ;
suit being for some $7,000, tho value of the lost i
jewelry, with interest from the tnno ol the loss. The
testimony submitted was mostly that taken on commis
sion. At the conclusion of the testimony for the plain
tiff a motiun was made on behalf of the defendants to .
dismiss tho complaint, which was urgucu at
considerable tengih, whon Judge Iaiwrence
took the papers promising to givo a decision this morn
ing.
There ore some singular circumstances connectcd
with this case worthy of particular mention. Most of
the lost jewelry consisted of diamonds 111 settings.
Some time ago a Catholic priest, through a communi
cation made to him, us stated, at coufessionnl. gave
the settings minus the stones to Daniel Torrence, son
In law of Commodore Yaodorbilt, who placed tlieni in
bis sale for sale keeping. They had not been in his
possession long, however, before they were stolen irom i
the safe, together with $3,000 in gold, which Mr. Tor- |
reuce had in the safe at the time. In addition to this
fatality, so to speak, overtaking the jewelry, a like re- ,
marknblo fatality overlook the steamer Isabella. Dur
ing the war she was used as a blockade runner, her
name being changcd to Kiln Warley. While off t'harlcs
ton the steamer was captured by a United Stales gun
boat, after which she was brought lo this city when she
collided with the North Star and was sunk.
THE CASE OF TERESA CLIFTON.
What is presumed to bo a final order was made yes
terday by Judge Brady in tho case of Teresa Clifton, a girl
thirteen years of age, who, us Is alleged, was kidnapped
l<y ex Police Commissioner Gardner and Captain Will
iams from an alleged panel houso kept by Annie Small,
In Third street. As will be remembered, at the close
of a lengthy examination Judge Brady directed the girl
to be sent f> tho Sheltering Arms, where she has been
kept ever since. Her parents desiring to regain pos
session of her obtained a writ ol habeas corpus, wh-ch
reopened tho case lor further investigation, the main
poiut under consideration being their litucss to be in
trusted with her care. Tho lollowing istheopinion
given yesterday by Judge Hrady upon tho application
for tho child's custody, ami from which, as will be seen,
orders her restoration to her parents.
"I havo arrived at tho conclusion that Teresa Small
*iay be restored to her parents. 1 ho recent develop
nieuts In relerence to her, by proofs takon, materially
Change the case as originally presumed, and justify me
In again trusting her to them. 1 nevertheless think
th"y were guilty of negligence in omitting to make rull
Inquiry bulore allowing her to accept employment from
the person to whom she was allowed to go. If it be
comes necessary lor her to labor away from her home,
her parents must look to It that diligent Investigation
be made of the place anil of the charuclor of the person
in which and by whom she may be engaged. This duty
)* imposed now on iho parent*, and they are thus ad
vised that it must bo performed. I have already *ug
pcsled that children belong as well lo tho State as to
^lie parents, ami that the latter was controlled by the
,aw s which society has established for their rule of con
duct, laws which will be enforced by the authorities
when It becomes necessary for that moral protection
which the parents fail lo give. An order muy been*
tored in accordance with these views."

la the Marina Court yesterday, before Judge Spuuld
in p. Abble Moland recovered a judgment for (500
against Louts Berge. The muit was brought on three 1
notes, amounting In all to the sum recovered, and it
w?! claimed that the notes were given In settlement of
a suit brought by plaintiff in 1><74 against detendaut lor
breach ol promise of marriage. Plaintiff's story was |
that in 187a and 1N74 defendant kept company with |
plaintiff and engaged to murry her. but she discovered
tliat he was then a married mau. bhe, notwithstanding 1
thif marriage, claimed to huve had her aflection* trifled

demurred, arguing that the alleged cause of action was
void, because no delivery of auy stock was made or in
tended, tl,at there was no mutuality of contract, that
at most it whs a mere proposition of one party to ro
ceivo or deliver the stock and that thcro was no agree
ment to perform by the other pany The plaintiff, by
his counsel, D. M. Porter, insisted that the plaintiff
paid defendant a consideration not to withdraw his
proposition, and th.it tune stock transactions were
legalized by the Legislature in JS58. The Court gave
judgment for plaintiff, holding that although the con
tract would have beou void at common law tho I.ogij. I
lature had legalized 1L

then engaged as porter in a downtown glove store.
The young muii was at once arrested. He ad
mitted giving tho lace to the girl, but denied

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Washington, Dec. 8, 1875.
In tho United Stntes Supreme Court yesterday the
following ca-e was argued:?
No. 06. I.udwlgetal. vs. Propeller Free State. Ap
peal from the Circuit Court for llie Eastern District of
Michigan.?This was a libel to recover from tho propel
ler Free State, the property of tho Western Transporta
tion Company, for damages to the scow C. G. Meisel,
the property of tho appellant, by collision In the De
troit River, In August, 1870. The charge was that the
propeller was running without proper lights; was not
suflicli'iitlv manned, and failed in her duty In
not keeping to the port side in passing and in
not slacking when a collision was imminent. Tho
answer alleged want of lookout on the scow:
want of proper ofllccrs, and that she did
not keep her course as she ought to have done, denying
all tlie averments of the libel as to tho Free State. It
was also averred that the propeller did reverse her en
gine when tho scow changed tror course, and for tho
purpn.-o of avoiding the collision, but that it was too
late. The District Court found the scow at fault in not
keeping her course and the propeller at fhult fh not
slacking her speed, and in Its decreo divided the dam
ages. Tho Circuit Court reversed tho decroc us lo tho
propeller and dismissed tho libel. It Is here contended
thui the Court erred in finding no fault on the part of
the propeller as to tho rate of speed and her falling to
slacken her speed, and that when the evidence is prop
erly weighed iho decrco will be reversed. Mooro k
Gritlln for appellants; George B. Hibburd for appellees.
Iu the Supreme Court of the United States to-day, on
motion of Mr. W. A. Moore, Mr. Georgo H. Durand, of
Flint, Mich., was admitted to practiso as an attorney
and counsellor of this Court. On motion of Mr. 9. S.
Henkle, Mr. C. II. Armos, of Washington, D. C., was
admitted to practise as an attorney and counsellor of
this Court.
Case No. 496. Samuel Black et al., appellants, vs.
Tho Unltod States.?This cause was submitted on printed
argument by Mr. C. F. Peek, of counsel for the appel
lants, ami by Mr. Assistant Attorney General Smith for
the appellee iiuder tho Twentieth rulo.
No. 06. August F. l.ndwig et al., appellants, vs. tho
propeller Free State, kc,?The argument of this case
was continued by Messrs. George B. Hibburd and
Ashley Pond, of counsel for the appollees, and concluded
by Mr. W. A. Mooro, of counsel for tho appellants.
No. 79 (substituted). John Miner, appellant, vs.
Thomas Pttta, executor, Ac.?The eause was argued by
Mr. W. A. Moore and Mr. Ashley Pond, of counsel for
the appellants, and by Mr. F. H. Canfleld and Mr. D. B.
Dufl>eld, for the ^p|iellee.
No. 07. Caleb Ives and George B. Green, plaintiffs In
error, vs. M. A. Hamilton, executor, kc.?The argu
ment of this cause was commenced by Mr. Charles J.
Hunt, of counsel for the plaintiffs in error.
Adjourned until to-morrow.
DROWNING ACCIDENT.
A distressing accldont occurred at Sprlngvllle on
Saturday afternoon, consequent upon breaking through
the ice. A number of children were playing on the
Ice on Tianna Creek. Charles H., a six year old son of
Mr. William W. Overton, was dragging a younger
brother on a sled, two young girls being In company.
At the middle of the creek they stopped and huddled
together, when tho Ice gave way, nnd they were all
precipitated into ihc water. Tho younger boy was held
up by the sled on which ho was sitting. An oldor
sister, Hattlo A., aged eight years, went to thoir assist
ance and broko in. Tho two girls who first tell in got
their arms on the edge of the ice and thus sustained
themselves. A young man named Heale then went out,
but Jie, too, broke in. The boy Charles caught him by
ono foot while Hattle siezed Charles around the neck,
and in Mr. Beat's efforts to draw himself up 011 the ice
Charles lost his hold and he and Hattlo were drowned.
Two other girls who were present then got a pole,
pushed it out to Mr. Beale, and drew him out, and then
tho three drew out the other two girls. Tho bodies of
$kc two lost children were recovered soon afterward.
