The proceedings in Hits case were under the act of Assembly, approved February 78, lsiw ( I'urdon, putse lo'.'ti), w hlch is set forth In the complaint. Judgment whs given by the Alderman under the act ot December 14, 18ta (Purdoii, page VAU). OPINION. The act of Assembly or February 28, 18M, Purdon. l.liiu, relative to lost leases between landlords and tenants in Pbiludelphiu.ls very much out ol the oourse ol the common law, aud ought to bestrlctly construed. At least the summary Jurisdiction it provides should be limited to a precise case contemplated hy the act, and the luutilslllon ol the Alderman should exhibit, aud, ot course, proof should be laid before him of every fuel which the act makes necessary lo the Jurisdiction. The act recites the inconvenience aud trouble that have arisen in tile city ot Philadelphia trom;tae loss of the evidence or leases, and then goes on to provide lor a special case in which these several lliiugi must concur: Flisf. A lease or vested letting of property for a term ot years, or from year lo year. Kecoud. A landlord, either the original lessor, or a purchnser of his reversion subsequent to the lease, has lost the lease, or is unable to produce proof of the beiilnnlngand conclusion ol the lessor. Third. The llrst or tha term, ir lor years, or tho term, if from year to year, must he ended. Wbeie these things concur it shall be lawful for the landlord to give the tenant notice In writing, that he has lost the leae, or Is unable to prove its beginning and endlnjr, und requiring the tenant to furnish him in writing, w ithin tulrty days, ihe dale at which the term commenced. The notice Is not required to he supported by utlldavit, but If It be so supported it becomrs evidence ot tho racis Set forth In it. If the tenant furnish the required date, bis written response is evidence, hut If ha full or refuse ror thirty days to comply with the requirement, the landlord may thengtve him three mouths' notice to quit uud surrender tlie po-session or the premises, und may thereafter proceed to dispossess him iu the same maimer as li provided by the act of December 14, 18d3. The failure or the tenant for thirty days to respond lo the landlord's demuud Is made evidence that the tenant Is liable to he proceeded against In the s. nie manner that tenants are proceeded atcainst under the act or lata, that Is. thai the time will be determinable upon three months' notice. The act u IochcIv druwn. hul these seem to be Its results. A record made up und r it must show a it nam y tor yea s, or from year to vear, nu l that lbs first year of the term, or me term lis ell is ended, else tue niHClslraia has no Jurisdiction mi icr It, And the main vu of the record hotoia us iu this easels that it dues not show that a lease ever was made or the premises in question, or tl at any lenn lor years, or liom year toyiar, ever existed. It seti forth, that the Dlaintit has been Ihe owner or the pre mises since August fi, Ui 4; that McMullin was then and Is yet tenant of said Dreinises: that tbe ulalutiff's beimt unable to furuish proof or Ihe belnnliiK uud conclusion or the term ot Ham A1CJ.1UHI11 us LOiliaa ui naei 'i euj ises, by 3 uuu notice, etc This is all that Is aliened, and It amounts neither to a "lease or verbal letting" or the property. In possession or me premises, iu cm until mignt, lucom inon parlance, as well as In legal language, he called tenant, ror a tenant Is one who holds the possession. But he may hold it us owner, or intruder, as well as under a lease or verbal letting. The act only applies to a tenancy created by a lease which fixes a term und a rent. And to give any broader application would moke It equivalent to ejectment for the recovery of land however in the possession of another. In the notice which the plalntiil served on tlie defendant, he did not allege a lease, lie said the lease. II anv" was lost, but hedld not allege a lease, a lien, a rent, nor any one fact to hrimr his case under the hoi of I8tir. Then It is clear the Alderman bad no Joi isd lotion, and h is proceedings ought lo have been set aside Oy tue common I'leas. feverm eAueiiuus were taken which are not sustainable, but they need not be noticed, becuuse the plea to the Jurisdiction was fatal to the whole proceeding. The Judgment is reversed, and the proceedings of the Aldurmuu are set ajido at the costs of the plaintiff below. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUBT-.Tudge Cad waluder. J. K. Valentine United State.? District At torney. The United blales vs. .Peter Carl. In this cafe the defendant whs charged with passing and at tempting to pass counterfeit Treasury notes, of the denomination of fitly cents, with Intent to delraud the Unlied Stales, The defendant lives about 2'i miles from Mabanoy City, Schuylkill oounty, and is a sawyer by profession. The evidence produced by the United Stales showed, that ou the 31st of December, 11-60, ihe defendant went inlo a barber shop In Ma hanoy City, was shaved, and hud a tooth extracted, and gave the barber in puymeut a couulurleit fifty cent note. He said nothing to the barber when be gave the note, and wheu he left the place the barber marked it. He afterwards paid several of these notes to a grocer, and also to a butcher. One or the detectives or the Treasury Department arrested the defendant in the early part of last month at the. Jackson Colliery, near MubauoyClly. lie had no dilllculty In making the arrest, nor did ha find any bad money upon tbo defendant's person. The defendant told tlie officer that he had passed several ot these notes, Out that bo did not know they were counterfeit. The defense offered no testimony, but argued that the United Mates bad not made out a case upon which the Jury would convict, 11 was not disputed that tho deft ndunt hod passed notes, forged, false, and coun terfeit. But there was not a tittle of evidence to prove guiltv knowledge or bad motive. The charge against Ihe defendant was, pusnnii. etc., with intent lo de fraud tha tioverumvnt. But no one said that the defendant, lu passing tbese notes, kail any other than an honest motive. Besides, the defendant Is an humble, laboring, un educated man, not compe ent to Judge or money, to tell a genuine from a counterfeit note. He couldn't even read, it was alleged, and he received the notes from a peddler, an entire stranger to him. ou trial. Palethorp tor defendant. DUJTRICT COUKT Judge Stroud.

Mr. Mullen, lo avoid a row, went outside of his own bouse. Tlie defendants followed blm, and one atruo blui and the other choked him. One witness for the Commonwealth, who was per rectly disinterested, stated Unit when tlie defendants entered Mullen's pluce they were quiet aud orderly; that while they were there they benau discussion some question, had words, and grew warm; and that -Mullen, becoming angry, made a rush at Tonor, and wai prevented from doing violence merely by the inter vention of Beunas, who held him off. The defense ottered no testimony but Mr. O'Nell, for the defendants, argued thus: "The defense pro duced no witnesses ; there la no necessity tor to doing. W hen tha Commonwealth places s whueu on the aland she vouches for his veracity, and tells tha Jury to believe his statement as truth.
