THE COURTS. Slow Headway Made in the Rapid Transit Fights. Argument on the Sixth end Ninth Ave nue Railroad Injunctions Post poned Till Next Month. IN THE MESHES OF A DANSEUSE. A Plea if Gnilty by Lawrence and Hi> Re lease on Bail. The rapid transit fight Is making alow headway In the courts owing to the continued illness of Chief Justice Monell, of the Superior Court, although it la gratifying to know thai he la slowly convalescing, and the improbability or hia being able for aeveral weeks to resume hia seat on the bench and hear the continuation ?f the argument on the injunction proceedings instl 'tuted by tho Sixth "Avenue Railroad Company against the Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company to restrain tho latter company from constructing Its proposed road over the route of tho Sixth Avenue Railroad Company, between Amity and Fifly-n nth streets, an arrange ment was yesterday entered Into between tbe opposing counsel that will obviate any delay on account o( Judge Monell's sickness anil the likelihood otherwise of the case going over until after the summer vacation. The arrangement made was that tbo case should he argued on us meritsbelero Judge Sedgwick, at tho June term or the Special Term of the Court. As will be seen this not only expedites the settlement of tbe main question at Issuo of vital importance to the perfecting of rapid transit in this city, but is a very auvantugeous arrangement, lor, of course, whatever way the case may be decided, It will be taken to tbe Court of Appeals, and such ap peal could not be taken from the decision on tho motion lor a preliminary Injunction. By trying the case on the merits, therefore, a final determination may bo reached much quicker than by continuing tbe war fare of technicalities. An argument was to have been held yesterday before Judge J. F. Daly, holding Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, upou tbe order to show caui-c why the temporary injunction grautcd against tbe New York Elevated Railroad Company upon tbe application of tbe Ninth Avenue Railroad Company should not be made permanent. All tbe counsel were present except ex-Judgo Emott, whose abscncq was urged as a ground (or adjourning tbo argument. Somo ol the cuinsol were anxious to linvc the adjournment flxod at an curly day, but Judga Daly suggested that the same questions would substantially bo raised as in the su;t or PaUuu vs. The New York Klevated Railroad Company, now betore the General Term on appeal from Chief Just ice Daly's # recent decision. It was probable, he added, that tho General Term would give lis decision by the eud ol tho present :nontb, and he, thereloro, rcco:umended I no adjournment of tho argument to the first Monday ol next month, which suggestion was finally acquiescod In by tbo counscL CANCAN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. Katie Forrost, a blonde ot the purest typo, was pres ent in Fart 4 ol the Marino Court, before Judge McAdam, yesterday, as plaintiff In a suit brought against Solomon Cars lor tho sum of $900, alleged to be the value of certain articles of jewelry which she charges htm with taking from her room at the St. Cbarles Hotel, in this city, and converting to his own UFO. Tbe defendant's answer Is a general denial, but, notwithstanding this, be was in charge of a sheriffs officer, under an order of arrest, in default of $1,200 ball. Mr. John F. llcl n tyre appeared for tbe plaintiff and Mr. A. II Furdy lor tho deicndant, both express ing themselves ready and willing to proceed to trial; but owing to the engagement of Judgo McAdant in re lation to the business of the General Term tho cause was adjourned until one F. M. to-day. The pleadings In themselves are us flat and umuteresting as replevin pleadings usually are, but, Irotn the statements of the rcs|iective counsel, it appears tho suit is not without some romantic features. Both sines concur in the adnmsion that deluadant is a travelling salesman of jewelry; that he Is married to a comely bru nette, who was present in court, and ap parently a much nioro dissatisfied party thau her hiondp rival in the affection's ol tho mild-eyed Cars; that In his wanderiugs o'er laud and lake Cars found himself in ttio city of St. Louis, where he visited one ol tho theatres, and there first behold tho plamtlft, flouting in the bewildering figures of the cancan: that, forgetting his (list love, be made the acquaintance and associated wuh this new affinity lor about two years, keeping li s fam ily in ignorance of bis whereabout)', and finally wind lug up in the st. Charles Hotel in lists city, where tho ptestnlcauscof action arose. While thus associating with the plaintiff it appeara be made her presents from time to tune of the jewelry which form? the subject of tbe action, and It is claimed on her part that, antici pating she was about to separate from him, ne took the property irom her room without her knowledge or consent, and appropriated it tu lus own use. Tho claim on bis behalf is that be took iho property with her consent, and with tbo understanding that ho was to raiso money on it to pay their board at the St. Cbarles Hotel, and that ho did pawn a Crtion cf it, and that in any event ho came vlully into possession of it. Tbe testimony ol tbe pawnbroker, taken by convent of counsel, was mat defendant told him be urns pawning the property to pay plaintiff's board (mentioning her nam> ), and that ho returned to tho St. Charles Hotel to see if tho amount offered would satisfy her heioro he ncoepted it. It was fqrtber stated, by touusel that defendant's wtfo pro posed to institute proceedings against him for a divorce according to the Jewish ritual LAWKENCE PLEADS GUILTY. The case of the United States against Charles A. Lawrence, who was some time ago Indicted by a United States grand Jnry on a charge of smuggling, ho being then a Custom House offlccr, and with forgery, and irho, it will be remembered, fled to Canada and tbenoo k> England, took an unexpected turn yesterday. The * trial had boon several times postponed, aud those fre taent delays, together with the report, which found ready credence, that Lawrence to save himself from trial aad Its consequences bad made an offer rt a full crafeaaion, which the government. It was suppoeed, had under consideration, were taken as confirmation of the report. Yesterdiy'a proceedings but go to farther strengthen thia view of the ease, not wit h itanding District Attorney Hiiss' partial explanation of the circumstance attending [.awrenco's plea of (Uitiy. When the case was called in the Circuit Court yesterday Lawrenco waa present with bia counsel, leaded by General It. V. Butler and a number of friends, fbe court room was crowded and a great deal of Interest ras manneated in anticipation ol thn opening of tbo trial and what developmeuta li might bring forth. No little surprise, however, was Iclt at the unexpected turn tbe case look. Tho indictment upon which I<awrence sas railed to plead la that known as tho "Blundiiig" lorgcry, to which Lawrence pleaded gtNRv. Aftur tbe plea bud been recorded Judge liencdict asked Mr. Bliss IT ho moved lor sotitoncc, to winch tho District At torney answered, "Notat present." This, lor the present, and*tbe casa On motion of lAwretire's conusel bo waa admitted to bail in the sum ol $1S,000. This will appear very small bail in tbe lace of tbe fast that Law rence ploadeu guilty to an ofl'enco tbe penalty lor which Is ten years' imprisonment. Wheu questioned on the sutiject District Attorney Bins said that the acceptance of- Lawrence's plea was tbe easiest ami best way of disposing of the case; that there was nothing behind It, and that in due time Lawrence will be called up for sentence. Ho fur ther stited that Lawrencc could havo been convicted sf smuggling Iftao other Indictments against him bad been tried, bat tho other charges will not be pressed igainst him. As the ca*e now stands. Lawrence is out on small bail. And It is still asserted that tbe proba bilities are that ha may be used as a witness should It be thought advisable to turn to account in the proseou tio* of others any Knowledge he may possess in that Une. Lawrence's sentence will bo moved for at the June term, to which lime he Is out on ball. His sure, lies are J. J?. Morris, nnd Zipporsl, the wife of Law rei.ee. THE CITT8 FLIMSY DEFENCE. li May, 186&, Benjamin Wood leased to the city for ten years, at aa annual rental of $9,000, the secocd tad third floors of No. 19 Chatham street, the same kelag occupied by tbe City Inspectors Department part ll tha time and tbe rest ol the time by tbe Board of Assessors. Tbo last two quarters' rent ol lost year Comptroller Green relosed to pay, on the gronnd that iuring that year some of Mr. Wood's employes slept lu tbe rear room on tbe second floor. He also refused to pay 11,400 due upon tbe lease tor heating tbo rooms. Mr. Wood assigned hie claim to Jacob K. Oakley, who brought suit lor the amount claimed, which waa tried yesterday before Judge Van Brunt, of the Court of Commou Pleas. The defence, as slated above, was regarJed as too flimsy to he entitled to any judicial cr uslderation, aad Judge Van Brunt directed u verdict.'-.-tbo plain 110 for $6,091 18, being tho lull amount claimed, with interest. FLIES FROM SENTENCE. The trial of William Kelly, on a chargo of illicit dis tilling. was resumed yesterday, before 'Judge Benedict. Kelly bavlag beea abseat on TuesJsy, but attending featerday on aotico from tbo Court At the conclusion ?l tbe casa tbo jury rendered tho verdict of guilty, ind it was then found that tbo defendant ban disap peared. It is sapposed that lie formed the opinion .hat the case woula po against h|in, and thai during l|ie basils attradlug Lawrence's |>lca be escaped. Hit M*dsmea are Thomas Gannon, oi No. 25 OIJ flip, and Daniel McKlbeany, of No. 331 West Fifty Oflb street A warrant was immediately tuned far kia arrest DECISION IN EQUITY. ? In the mattar of tba complaint in tba bill In aqaity of John H. Piatt, as sssignoe ia tbe estate In bank ruptcy of 8. Leland ft Co. against Edward B. Weslsy, Judge Blatchford, in tba United States District Court, has rendered tba following decision:?I am not pre* pared to bold on tba eel donee that tbe payments by tf. Inland * Co. of tba checks la question as they fell due wore payments made with a view to give a preference 10 tbe defendant as a creditor, as alleged ia tbe bill. Nor, even III could so bold, could I find on the evidence that tbe defendant at tbe time of receiving such pay ment} bad reasonable cause to believe thst snch pay ments were made In fraud of the provisions of tha statute, or reasonable cause to believo that a fraud on the statute wns intended thereby. Nor can I bold on tbo evidence that such payments' were not made In tbe usual and ordinary course of business of the debtors. It seetus to me that tbe observations or tbe Supreme Court In Tiffany against Lucas (15 Wallace, 410) apply to tbe facts o( this case. Tho bill is dismissed, witn costs. REVERSES OP FORTUNE. Ex-Senator and County Coart House Commissioner Michael Norton waa examined In supplementary pro ceedings before Justlco McAdam, of tho Marine Court, yestorday, in relation to a Judgmont for $621 obtained against him by Isaao J. Oliver, tbe Tammany printer. Tbe ex-Senator testified that ho was not worth a cent. Counsel for the plaintiff asked hitn If he had over owned anv real estate, and Norton replied in tho affirmative. He was tnen asked when he parted with tbe owner sblp ol the property, to which question his couusel vehemently objected, clashing that It was irrelevant. Tbo question was ullowod by tbe Court on the conditio;! that should the witness answer that he received but a small consideration for tbo property tho lino of cross-examination should not be continued lurtber. Ex-Senator Norton then testi tbat bo sold bis house in Charlton street in 1871 lor a very small consideration, the purchaser assuming the responsibility of a mortgage of $u.t)00, which was on tbo property at the time. Ho also trstitied thai tho Pavilion Hotel, on Coney Island, and tbo wine and billiard saloon corner of Bleecker and Carmine streets, are both owned by the separate estate of his wife, Mary Ellen Norton, and that be receired a weekly salary ol $25 lor managing them.

About four weeks nan be was arrested for stealing hama from a grocery store. mid, belli r i Kisses sod ol ?n extraordinary "gtU of iino,'' suecciwled4n talning himself ont of the scrape. When he ?*?* r*IM <>n lor an explanation yesterday lie began, "'Most Honored Judges, Allow me to vindicate my cause." He tlien proceeded to demonstrate hia lunoceui e by nsrertln* that the shoes were on the star board "idti ol ihe door, while he was on the port side. This argument, however, fat e.j to convince the Court, Ki'n-ii uiniwifxi liim to one laiitU I* iks l*?n imn i - A COUNSELLOR CONQUERED. !? the Court of Special Sowiom yesterday I.aurenee Hughes, of No. 230 East Fortysixth street, charged Terence O'Biien, a relative of Ins vile with assaulting him Mid breaking three of his rib*. The prisoner claimed to hsvo acted in self-defence, and when the plaintiff was being cross-examined h* refused or failed to give responsive answers to the questions s-knl him, entering into lengthy explanations. At length the fol lowing colloquy occurred:? CodMlLUJI?Thern, that will do. You have answerod tho question "Yes" and you noed not say any more. Mr. Huohks?Sure au' what am I licnt for ? CofNKSLLon?To lie ofotis-examined by me. Mr. Huoitics?You're very much mistaken. I'm here to tell tho truth and I'm going to do it. At thla reply tbcro was a roar of laughter In the court, In which the Bench Joined, and Counsellor Price said:?"You may step down, sir." O'Brien was lound guilty and flnod $100, which he paid. THE PRICE OF A JUSTICE. When tbe case of John Hlgglns, a young man charged with assaulting a negro on a Mott Huron train, was called up in tho Court of Spnoial Sessions yesterday, Judgu Murrav said, "U Mrs. Hlggins In court?" Mrs. Hlgglns, an honcat looking old Irish woman, eatye for ward, when tho Judge said, "Mrs. lliggins. you oame to my house this morning and oflcrod uio $6 If I would discharge your son. What made you do so?" Mrs. Biggins In reply said, "Well, Judge. I didn't mane to offend ye, but I uaderstand that that used to be tbo price, and I didn't know thoro was any changa" Judge Murray said, "Well, your sna is remanded for a week In order to glvo tbe complainant a chance to appear against him." A DESPERATE THIEF. William Farley, alias "English Xed," ono of tho most notorious and ex|iert pickpockets in the city, was caught plying his vocation ut yesterday's umtinoo performance of Howes k Chushing's circus at the foot ol Houston street, Kasl River. An ofllcer of the Eleventh |>re<'.ii|ci grabbed him, hut ho succocded in slipping from his grasp by leaving his coat In tho hand.- of his would i>o captor. He lied up Houston street, hotly pursued by on exoited crowd, aud effected his escape. Quite a orfln motion was created in the circus by the struggles of tho thief to iroe himself. Tho olllocr received a (cw bruises and a black eye. FUCHS, THE MURDERER. It is generally believed in official circles of Brooklyn that the county will not be put to the expense of hous ing Andreas Fuehs, the convicted murderer of William Simmons, win) h un^'er sentence ol death. Yesterday bis counsel, H. B. Kimiboru. proceeded to Albany tor tho purpose ot obtaining a commutation of sentenco ol Fuchs lo Imprisonment lor life. The assent of all but one or the Jurors who sat on tho trial has been obtained to tho petition wbich is to bo presented to tho Uov. ernor. It is understood that no objection will bo made by District Attorney Brttton to tho eflorts of counsel in behalf of the wretched man. Justice Pratt and Associ ate Justices McKlbben and Wollort are favorable to this dispositi<*n of the ekM. Several influential citir.cns have taken an interest In tho case, and thus fnr Sheriff Daggett lia.s taken no measures to prepare tor the exe cution. Friday, June 2, was tho time fixed by the Court.
