DISTRICT COURT - JUDGE HARE
Ferdinand FRETTON vs. Henry HARNISH and others. Before reported. Verdict for plaintiff, $2,500.
James W. CARSON vs. John WILSON. An action on a promissory note. No defence. Verdict for plaintiff, $394.80.
Samuel GRANT and W. S. GRANT, trading as GRANT & Son vs. Biddle HANCOCK and Joseph B. CONROW. This was a judgment issued under the Sheriff's interpleader act, to try the right of property in the bark St. James, which was taken in execution as the property of James DEVEREUX, but is claimed by plaintiffs. They claim to own the vessel under a bill of sale dated April 25th, 1861, from James DEVEREUX, not recorded, however, in the Custom House until February 24th, 1863, having, as they alleged, loaned $9,000 on her. The defendants levied on her for DEVEREUX. It appeared that the writ levied upon the vessel, was returnable tot he first Monday of February, and the levy being made after the return day, the point was raised that it was void. The Court reserved the point, treating the levy, for the purpose of the trial, as legal. The defence was, that the bark, notwithstanding the bill of sale to plaintiffs was still DEVEREUX'S property, and the case went to the jury on this question of fact, the point of law raised being reserved. Jury out.

William WARNER, a lad about fifteen years old, ambitions of the fame given Jack SHEPPARD by Harrison AINSWORTH, did a little house-breaking in the premises occupied by Mr. Joseph FIRTH, a baker, at No. 135 Arch street. He climbed in the window of a back room, used as a servants' sleeping apartment. His first excursion having realized him $4.50, he was incited to another attempt, and took $7.25. He was seen fumbling in the pockets of the dresses suspended from the wall, by the servants in an opposite house. The moneys taken belonged to Catharine GRAEME. Alderman DOUGHERTY held him in $500 bail to answer.
Bridget HUGH and Eliza HARRIGAN were held in $200 bail, by Alderman PANCOAST, to answer the charge of larceny.
Alexander CARSON and William WILLIAMS were committed, by Alderman FIELDS, for a further hearing, being suspected of having stolen articles in their possession.
Yesterday afternoon Richard C. YERKES was charged before Recorder ENUE with misdemeanor under the 113th and 124th sections of the new Penal Code, in embezzling $34.90, which was a part of the money received by him as the administrator of the estate of Alexander ERVIN, deceased. The proceeding was instituted by Henry S. TARR, one of the sureties in his bond. It is alleged that YERKES had collected the money belonging to the estate, and an auditor was appointed to administer it, but when called on to deliver the money, he neglected and refused to do so; hence the charge. He was committed by the recorder in default of $2,000 bail.
