fFromthe N.Y. Journal of Commerce, Jan. 14. J
JCqubt—Thursday—
Before Judge B. Dibbleeet dl.
vs. If. J?'. Jrornesa/sf dl; This.pase has.oooupied
thbi bohi;fc;for the last tbrea The.plaintlffa
are k Jdifreeilk libdse in'fchis city, and tnedefend
ant* £larg<i auctionhouse in Philadelphia. The
nottOn/was. to-recover about $17,000, being the
valueof goods alleged, to havo„ been- stolen from
them by a mannamed Parmalee, and by him con
signed to. the .defendants in Philadelphia, who sold
them r Parmalee, it appeared oocnpied
an office,in-tb'e same house with the plaintiffs, and
yrent down tO their'stororoom through a, sky-light
nndjstolaVthe goods'from time to time, in; small
qaaotiilWy-'ddring three, years!* He was indicted
lor .the theft, and was,bailed and left the oity and
retuftietf.to prison, and'was now brought np on n
writ of habeas corpus as a witness' for the plain
tiffs. He gave his evidence with great confidence,
and admitted that he had stolen thegoodsand car
ried awhy what was most valuable and least likely
tobe'missed.' :r : ’ ,
For thp defence',Jt was contended that the de
fondants were entirely innocent of any wrong in
the trsutahtionl Jhat they received and sold the
goods in .the hsualoourse of business,' and had no
knowledge of auspicion that they had boon stolen
or improperly obtained: For the plaintiffs it was,
however, bontendedthat there were.oiroumst&nces
connected .with'the . oase which should have put
the‘defendants on their guard! There' were other
circumstanced (.adduced in evidenoe tending to
confirm the'evidenoe of Parmalee. Mr. Farness,'
one of-the defendants, vrasoalled te the stand and
toatifled that he received the seeds in goodfaith,
and that after he learnod the fact of the robbery,
he‘gave evory faulty he oould to Mr. Clark, one
Of tho ‘plaintiffs, to obtain repossession of, the
goods. i > . v
The -.Court Charged the jary. this was a oase of
oonßiderablo importanoe to' the parties conoerned,
and W&s'entitled to their oareful consideration.
It was peonliar in its aspeot, and wasln somo way
unlike any- other ' ever presented before us. But
whether peculiar or not, it must he decided like.
othor oa?es ; and the same law and rules mtist govern
the jury in ’determining on the questions brought
before them. The action is. what is technically
known as anflotion of Trover,-brought to reoovor
the Value of goods whioh wero claimed to belong
to the plaintiffs, and oahie into possession of de-.
fendams ahd-wereconverted'to defendants’ use.:
The two principal questions In the oase are: whe
ther,thegoods in controversy, or. any portion ofi
them,' belonged to plaintiff, and .whether, if they,
goods of plaintiff, wore they converted ;
ta defendants’.use? • *
, The law applioablo to -the'oasoa of this kind is,l
that if the-goods wore owned by plaintiff, and, :
while so owned/ were stolon by Parmalee, and'
transported and cons'gned: to defendant, and of-,
terwards re-sold by defendant at Philadelphia; if
so, it .would entitle plaintiff to recover tho value
of the goods at the time of sale. No matter bow'
honest the defendants may have been—and I see*
nothing to doubt their honesty, but much to oom<
mend in theirconduol—but if the alleged foots of
the ease wore proved,-the defendants must be held
responsible. ■ • j
The court then recapitulated theevidonoe, and
commented on it, and gave the onse to the jury,
who retired. After being oht for a short time, the
oourt sont for them, and told them that if in their
judgment Parmalee was not snch a credible witness
as that his evidence, with the other evidenoe bear
ing pn the cose! was not saflioiont to establish the
facts of the' ownership of the goods, and the theft of
them, the jury ' must find for defendants ' The'
xjury then retired, and were out about an hour
without agreeing, and the court ordered them to
‘bring in a sealed .verdict in the morning. For
plaintiffs, Messrs: Evarts and Stanley. For de
fondants/Messrs O’Connor and Fallerton. 2

Philadelphia Gas Office, Jannary 11th,
JJJ 1859 —TO CONSUMERS OF GAS.—As the sad.
den extreme eold weather has caure much inconvenience
to consumers of GAS by obstructing their supply-pipes
and meters, it may be useful to many of them to know
how to remove the obstruction, and obtain their usual
light
This can be done in a few minutes by the application
of a few qnsrte of boiling water.
The beat method of applying it is to cover the meter,
and the pipe that comes in'thiough the front wall, with
a piece of doth, (the common tow-linen house-cloth
answers very well,) and to pour the hot water
cloth until it is thoroughly soaked. w
The cloth serves to retain the hot liquid, and thus,
in a short time, the coating of frost within theploe and
meter is thawed, leaving all dear for the flow of Gas.
In many cases, the trouble arising from the freezing
of meters can be entirely avoided by the exercise of
proper osre in dosing the cellar doors and windows, so
as to exclude the cold draught of air, especially in the
vicinity «f the meter.
Should tbs above procedure fait td give immediate
relief, it will be-advisable to send notice to the GAS
OFFICE, No 20 South SEVENTH Street, where persons
are in attendance night and day, to give all needful as

The undersigned having been praotically engaged for
a number of years in different capacities of the Insu
rance business—for several years in adjusting losses
exclusively for the Insurance Oompaofes— now offers his
services to those sustaining Loss or Damage by Fire to
property insured in making out their proofs of such
loss or damage in full compliance with tho intricate and
cunning conditions of Policies of Insurance, in such a
manner as to obviate plea or excuse for reduction or
litigation by companies so Jnolined, or others.
He ie assisted by tbe best legal counsel in Philadel
phia, and wilt give particular attention to the Collec
tion of Claims against Insurance Companies.
It is known by many who have sustained loss by Fire
to property Insured, and it has also been the experience
of the undersigned, that policies are frequency declared
partially or entirely void at a certain time after a fire
occurs, In consequence of carelessness or mismanage
ment In effecting the Insurance, or for somo other cause,
which, although an important fact, is scarcely ever dis
covered or thought of. until it is too late. In order to
avoid such disastrous occurrences, the undersigned
will also effect Insurance in any Companies desired,
and examine policies eiTeoted by others (in most cases)
free of extra charge
Parties sustaining loss or damago by fire, os above,
will find it to their interest to consult the undersigned
as soon after the fire as possible.

LE NOZZE DI FIGARO.
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
Mr. Ullman, pursuing the policy of his management,
which Is in favor of great works by great composers, has
the honor to announce that he will, on Saturday: pro
dace Mozart’s celebrated opera of The Marriage of
Figaro.” For many jeers this famous production has
been the choice bait of operatic management. Every
successive impressario has promised to give it, and as
oonsta&tly failed to de so Aa in the case of “ The Hu
guenots,” it was reserved to him to bring out the work
tor the first time in America
LB NOZZE Dl FIGARO
is a curiosity in musical liter -tore, in addition to being
one of the finest productions of its oelebrated master.
Popular tradition says that it was written at the insti
gation of a wager, and to prove that an opera could be
made to succeed without a tenor put In it. Mcaart
felt that nothing but the purest streams of malody,
and the loveliest creations of fancy could reconcile the
public or eeoure the success which was essential to the
Issue of the wrger. Certain it is, that on the three
characters of Susanna, the Ooont, and Figaro, he haa
expended all the infinite pathos, playfulness, and ge
niality of bis Tatars. rJ
The “Nozze” was preceded by tl Idomaneo/* and
w s followed by “ Don Glov*noi.” Thus connected in
the golden oh&m of the composer’s chief works, it has
long maintained its European celebrity; bnt for acci
dental reason?, it has never been produced here. Fore
most amoLgvtheee may be mentioned the fact, that
since the dajeofMidame Bontag, there has been no
artist in this conntry capable or interpreting the role
of Susanna. It is fortunately in Mr. UUman’s power to
present the work with a cast that cannot be surpassed.
He refers 'confidently to the Busanna of M’lle Piccolo
mini as one of her greatest impersonations, exceeding,
(n the joyous details of girlish emotion, her Zerlins,
la ‘ Don Giovanni,” and to the Figuo of Cart Formes,
which, in artistlo conception, stands as high as any
role in which the great basso has yet appeared. M’ila
Ghioni will make her debut as the Oouotess, and Signor
Plorenzi as the Count. %These are the principal cha
racters on which tbe success of this opera depends, and
it is hoped the public will acknowledge that they could
not be in better bands
ON MONDAY, Janaary 16th, at 8 o’clock.
