THE COURTS.
Mrs. McCloskey's Sanity and Right
to Her Property.
AUDUBON PARK TITLES.
Contesting the Charitable Bequests of
the Late John H, Power.
Mr*. Victories M. McCloskey, the wife of Or. Anto
ntus F. McCloskey, It to her own right the beneficiary
?ft trod estate to a large amount, $10,500 of which
la held by United Slates Senator Chrisiiancy, of Mich*
Igan. The residuary heirs to this estate are Viclorlno
Chamberlain, Cerila Jackson and Herman F. J act son,
three, children of Mrs. McClosky by a former hus
band. Prior to October, 1969, Mrs. McClosky was a
resident of Aloxandor, In Genesee county, this stato,
occupying there what is known as the "McCloskey
Mansion," In which she owned a large interest. Her
marriage with her present husband took place tbero
in lscy, and In 1871 sho and her husband (the Doctor)
became residents of this city. In October of the
latter year she received a letter from her duughter
Vlctorlne stating that her other daughter Cerlta, then
living at Alexander, was very lli, and requesting her
to come and see her at once. The mother responded
immediately in person, but on arriving at Alexander
found that her daughter was not sick, and soon dis
covered, also, as she Bays, that the object of the letter
was to get her within the jurisdiction of the county
of Ueuesee. She had been there but a lew days when
a commission was appointed, wbicn on the 114th of
the some montn dociarod her to be of unsonnd muid
and incapable of caring lor her person and estate. The
petitioners in that proceeding were tior three children
ibd expectant heirs, and on tbo 2d of Juuuury, 187J,
the Court mado an order In mat county appointing
lasper U. Lewis a committee of ber person and estate.
She then brought a suit in the Supreme Court, Bpeciul
Term, of this city, tn which sho una ber husband aro
plaiutills and mo lady's three children and the com
mittee of hor porson und estate defendants. This suit
was instituted on behalf of Mrs. McCloskoy by tier
counsel, Messrs. Hatch & Van Allen, of this city, lor
the purpose at having the luuacy proceedings had
In Geutsce cuunty sot aside, to recover back whut
property has come into the hands of the com
mittee since bis appointment and to ascertain
the position of the $1U,5(X> held by senator
Chrisilaucy in trust fur Mrs. McCloskey.
It is claimed by the lady's counsel thai there never
Was any Jurisdiction tor the proceedings hud in Gen
esee cuunty, us at the lime she wub a resldeut of the
county oi New York, und the statute in relation to
Innacv commissions could ouly apply iu the county
el which the party proceoded uguiust Is an actual
resident. A short time siuce Mr. VV. C. Watson,
counsel lor doleudants In ihu suit, sought to havo it
romoved to Geueseo couuiy, but upon plsluufl's
counsel showing a formidable array of witnesses
resident in mis city, numbering no less
than eighty, the Court dentod the motion. The
case came to trial before Judge Van liruul yesterday,
and hud Just b.eu entered upon when Messrs. Wulson
und Feck, counsel for the defendants, again raised the
question us to the proper place of trlaL Alter some
reflection Judse Van Brunt b oca mo of opluion that,
whue the plaintilTs bad rights which they should
have an opportunity to enforce, ho thought the pres
ent trial must necessarily take the lorm of a review of
the proceedings had in the court In Gancsee county,
and that the courtesy which this Court owed to that
mads it proper mat the bearing should be had in that
county. Ho therefore suspended tbo further trial of
the case and remitted tbo parlies to the couuiy in
Which the original proceedings were had.
TITLES TO LAND IN AUDUBON
BALK
Tbe decision of the Court of Appeal! yesterday In
Abe matter of tbe Department of Public Parks relatlvo
Ao tbe opening of tbe Boulevard ubovc 155th street
ends a litigation thut bus been full of contradictory
decisions in all tbe lower courts. Tbo proceeding in
volved tbo title to a strip of land In Audubon Park,
Carmauevlllc. In 1850 Dennis Harris sold a parcel of
land to John Daliey fronting on Eleventh avonuo and
157ib street. Dalley claims that bo bought to tbe
centre of tbe street, but in bis deed received Iroin
Harris In 1862 tbe boundary Is along tbe north side of
167lh street. Dalley fuuced In tbo land in mo street
stnd held it, claim:ng title ontll 187a, when
tbe same was taken lor tbe Boulevard
and the sum Of $1,547 awurdod therefor
by the city. In 1808, however, Harris
sold tbe land wltbtn tbe linos of 157th street to
Georgo B. Grtuneli. Beiore tbo Commissioners ot
Estimate both Dalley aad Griunell claimed title to
tbe land in tbe street, but tbe Commissioners refused
to decklo and awarded the money to ?'unknown
?owners " Tbe report was tbua confirmed September,
1873. Grlnnell thou brought tbls proceeding to ob
tain tbu money, makiDg Dalley una tbe ciiy partus,
and it was referred to William X. Armstrong, referee.
Tbe latter reported in lavor of Grlnnell In January,
1875. Tbo Special Term of tbu Supreme Court, in
Harcb lollowlng, eel aeldo tbe referee's report aud
awarded the money to Dalley, with costs. Grin
bell appealed to tbe General Term, where
tbo matter was argued by ox-Judge l'orter
lor Griunell and Mr. Howe lor Dalley, which
lu January, 1876, decided that ooilber Dalley nor
Grlnnell was entitled to tbe fund, hut that tbe award
having been tuudo lor land within the liuos ol a street
dedicated to public use the city was entitled thereto,
and ordered judgment accordingly, aud allerward re
fused to he ir a rtargumenL Grlnnell tbon appealed
to the Court ot Appeals. Tbe case was argued for
Grinuell in Marcu last ny James A. Decnug,
Messrs. Woodruir and Howe for Dalley and the
Corporation Counsel for the city. It was contended
fur tbo appellant that the deed Irom Harris to
Dalloy in grunting by the north aide ot 157th street
conveyed no part ot the land in tne street;
that uiihougb Dalley may have bougbt to tbe centre
and held possession for over tweuly years, yot that
he did not bold adversely to Harris; thai tbo con
veyances did not constitute a dedication lor public
nee, sod that the oity bad theruby acquired no title
to ibe land or lund in question. in. Court uf Ap
peals sustains this view, and in tbu decision handed
down yesiorduy reverses tbe orders ol tbe General
and Special terms ol the Supreme Court, and directs
payment of tbo money to Griunell, with costs against
Abe city.
THE POWER WILL CASE.
Argument was beard in Supreme Court, General
Term, yesterday, on tbe appeai in tbe nutter of tbe
will ol tbe late John ?. l'ower, formerly a prominent
lawyer and real estate operator, wbo died in ibla city
In 1875, loavins a large property. Among other dis
positions In bit will was leaving one- third ol bis re
siduary real and personal estate to be distributed
among such "Roman CatboJio oharitles, schools,
churches and institutions lu tbe city ol No* York"
in such proportion as ble executors, or a majority
of tbein, might doom beat. tne main quoa
tlon under argument was as to the valid
ity of the ehiuse referred to. Tbe executrix,
(plnlutiB) asked tor a Judicial determination el it, Inas
much as otherwise the executors could not safely pro
ceed in the disposition of tne estate, it was coutcnued
that the clause was so ludellnite as not to bo within
Abe classes of trusts permuted either ny tbe comuiou
or statute lew. a question alee arose as to who would
he entitled to tbe third, in case llio clause was bold Ill
Valid; wbelber the widow would have her distributive
share ibcreiu, or whether tbe wi olo would vest in tbo
next ol km or ID the residuary legatee. Derisiuo was
reserved by lb# Court. Messrs. i.crsrd, DvVlio nud
Dunning appeared respectively lor tbe widow, tbe
cbsriiius una tbe next ol Ittn.

plains. He thereupon brought tie present suit
against Ibe company to recover $25,000 Oamngoe.
There waa no pretence on ibe trial that tba plaibtilT
bad in any way by bia negligence contributed to the
accident, and it appeared to be equally uudUpuled
that lb" uccident waa cauaud by tbu bureau's of the
company running the sleeping car under a abed, la
doing wbicb tbe car came in contaot witu a part o(
tbe builumg. The principal pom la diaputed on the
triul were tbe extent of tbe injury to tbe plamillT,
whether tbe condition of 111 health of which be now
complaina waa tbe reault of that Injury, and, if ao, in
wbat arnouul waa be damaged thereby. It
waa claimed on tba part of the plaintiff
tbat be la now suffering troui affections ot
tbe lirer and epleeu, paina in tbe bach ot
bia bead und in bia bacx and numbneaa ol tbe limbs,

medical experia were examined, inoluding lira. Hurn
tnond, ltaiuaey aud Juiuea K. Wood, ol ibia city, and
lira. Loom is, Uetcbell and McBride, ol Philadelphia,

question as to whether or not tba Injury would pro
duce the preseut ellecta claimed by too plaiutllT to

aa doctors are proverbially Known to do. The
plaiuuff waa represented on the trial by Messrs.
J sums M. Smith and Simon U. Stern and tbo uelend
aut by Messrs. Cbilds A uarnetu Tbo Jury lound tn
luvor of the plaintiff and assessed hla damages at

PUBLIC SEiiViCES.
U la claimed by the widow and Irlonda of the late
John Lord that in bis lifetime he was an officer of tbu
Marine Court, and that for lour months during the
year 1872 he haa not received any pay. Mia widow
brought a suit against the city to recover tbo amount,
$600, which was tried bolore Judge Spelr and a Jury,
In Part 1 of tne Superior Court, yesterday, the plain
tiff bolng represented by Mr. Elliot K. Sandford and
Mr. Jamua Oliver, and tho city by Aealatant Corpora
linn Counsel Miller. Tbe dolenoe was tbut tbe ser
vices hud never been rondered, that no voucher lor
tbe amouut had ever been presented to the Comp
troller, aud that the claim hud never passed the
Board ol Audit In tbe year 1872, us re
quired by statute. Tba luw also requires
mat before a suit shun be brought against
tbo city lor the recovery of auy cluim a
demand ior the amount ahull have been made ou the
Comptroller at least thirty days bolero tbo cotnmeuce
rnuut ol such action. In tbe course ol tbe trial It ap
peared that the demand made la tbts case was ior
$400 lusioad ol $600, and tbe polut was taken ou bo
bulf ot tbe city that uo recovery could be bad lor any
sum greater than tbe demand. Tbts polut tbo Court
held to bo well taken, and counsel tor tbe plaintiff
thereupon waived the extra $100. Tbe jury had
failed to agreo at the hour of adjournment aud were
ordered to brtug In u scaled verdict ibis morning.
Tno main question given to Ibem to consider was tbo
perlormauoo ot tbo services by tbe daad man during
bia liletime.

have an opportunity ot examining Or. Smith, of
Kome, who was ono of tbo subscribing witnesses to
ito wilL Tney were not quite certuiu that Or.
Smith was a passenger with the Cardinal 11 he
were not It might be neoessury to take his evidence
by commission, and therefore they would suggest an
adjournment. Mr. Parsons replied that he diu not lu
teud on beball of Mr. George Merrill to presont any
lurthcr testimony until the proponent's cuso wus
closed. Wbouihat was douo, bo cxpectod that Ins
sido of the case would occupy shout ion or twelve
days. Alter some further conversation the Surrogate
sot the case down lor tho 12th ol November, and the
Tuosdayg, Wednesdays and Pridays ol that month, und
after that tho 27th und 31st ol Deceaibor.
THE SAMUEL WOOL WILL.
The adjourned hearing in tho contested will case ol
Mr. Samuel Wood was before Surrogate Calvin yester
day. Goneral Cbatdold appeared lor the will, and
Mr. E. 1). Sclienck opposed, it will be remembered that
the testator lelt a will and a codicil. The former,
which has boon admitted to probate, bequouths the
bulk ol his property lor tho iounding ol tho "Samuel
Wood Benevolent Institution," und appoints Mr.
Martin Wood, Mr. Alfred Simonson and Mr. Ed
ward T. Schenck as executors and trustoos. In

tees, uauitug, under the codicil, Mr. Martin Wood,
Mr. Simonsuu, Mr. Hewlett nud Dr. Klmcr. It is now
t-ougbi to obuiu the admission of this codicil to pro
baiu. Mr. K. D. Sen*a"' opposes, no not Having been
uauiod us an executor under the codicil. Ho asked
the Court lor an adjournment on tho ground that
up to within two hours ol the time ho was addressing
too Surrogate be had believed that an arraugvmcul
hud been urnved at by whluh u contest could be
uvoided. 'l'bere bud beeu a meeting ol mo parties in
terested on tne previous evening and a tacit under
standing una boon arrived at. Ho was, therefore,
taken by surprise, and on that grouud he asked lor an
adjournment. Ho also urged as an uddltiouul reason
tnut Mr. Clinton was associated with htm aud ou tho
strongth of what had ooourrod on the provtous even
lug he had told that gentleman no would not be
wanted.
The Surrogate suggested that as tbo witnesses were
presont loruial prooi might be lukeu, and li cross
oxsmiuanou wus necessary tbut could bo lukeu at tne
next hearing. This was accordingly done, and Mr.
William T. Lloyd, of No. 1,404 Sixth aveuuo; Mr.
Howard Aikuiun, ot No. 233 li.trrison streot, Brook
lyn, and Mr. Alfred Uecuiru. of No. 31* Clinton street,
Brooklyu, all leslltlod to oeiog present and subscrib
ing their names wncu the testator signed the codicil,
and that, m ihclr opinion, no was ol sound mind and
free from all reatruiut.
The lurthor bearing of this case was adjourned
until Kriduv, at eleven A. M., when It is expected uu
arrangement will bo made by wbicn all lurlher con
test will bo dlsouotinuca.
