York aad NswHavea Railroad Company. The Cawpway wao tsveorporaiod by the general jaiiiUj of too fltato of Connecticut ia 1844, with the usual powers far aaaatracting a railroad. The second sectioa of the charter ia in. these srsrds; That Capital Stock of and ComDsay all be two saiilious of ail an. with the privilege of mwraaslsg taa wa to three millioae of dollars, sad la be divided iaio shares of one hundred dol-lare each i which skaies shall ba deemed peratmai property, aaa ba transferred, la such maaaer, aad at such plaees, aa taa by-laws of said Company ehaJ direct.

City of New-Yotk appointed Schcvlbb, tba President of the Company, Transfer agent, furnished hiaa with traaer book blank certificates, and powers of Attorney to transfer Surck -and authorised him ta siga aad iseae the eertin'eates. The certificates were signed by ScHcr lbs, aa Transfer Agent," aad by bias' alooSj and stated that A. B. was entitled to so aaay shares of the Capital Stock of aba Company, transferable on the books of the Company, at its office in the I City of New-York, by tha said A.

or bis Attorney, on surrender of tba osrtifieaie. A biaak power of Attorney, to transfer the Suck, was subjoined to each eertifi-ata. After faithfully conducting the Agency for acTeial yeais, daring which period a great number af certificate were issaad, Schotlb commenced tbe freadulenl issue of certificates, in the usual fans, but- without the surrender of the ones, aad eootuaed ia this course uatil the over-issue aawaaUd to nearly two millions of dollars. Maay ai these eertincetee were issued to bis firm of ft 6. I.

The car soon bow is, wteiber the lots resolttag freai the miacoaduet of ScMCTtsa shall fall upon tha Conpany wnoaa aaeat be or shall by lbs holder vt the certificates. In the aeaaideiaJioawt Ibis question, I shaU assume ia it the prtveat bidders af the ceti(icatet purchased or raeemd Ueas la the nsnal coarse of sees Wansse-sieaa, aad withwnt any notice that the age at had aetaa or waa acting iinpnpy.

bCMHTiti waa the general agent of the htepisg transfer bo.ks and issuing cerufi-csUs of stock ia the Ciy of New-York, la that buaiaeaa pwra were as ample as tnose of the Durctors trtesaselves. Durng tha period of aiae Btoaihs wubin which tha fraudulent issues were aao, theia wra assay proper transfers of stock at that eg Ley. and a targe number of eortitioatea were isaoae by ocucTLSn, Ibd validity of which has aot been, axd esant be questioned. TtHxiri he femeiiaaes acted dishonestly, ha was all the wrule acting wnhia the scope at bis authority, or, ia oiher wurds, lbs business which he was comraiaaioned trai-sset i snd the persons into whose hands the certificates passed, took them ia lb bMisI rie it ach affairs, and without any Mesas ef distinguishing between tbe certificates sthtrb were pioperty, and those which were improperly issued In each esses the general rule af law ia, that the agent binds his priucipal so fsr aa third paisaB are eouesraed, and the toes resulting Iroei his mrscoaduct falls upon those who employed njot and; trusted in aia fidelity, aad aut ap aoceat thud parties who bestowed no such eotfidrnce. It Uue tkat Scmnit bad ao eommusion to i a ong bat it is also trne thu the Company eatraated his with tbe tiansactioa of business ia waicb he aught act improperly, and virtaalty said la aJl tbat le was person with whom tbey might asltly desl in that naiter No qoestiaa of mis kind ever arises beiwtee tha principal aod third "see, leapt where tha ageat haa acted improperly, ai jetif he kept within the liae of his cm-plo) at tbe principal ia bound ay his i.

It cannot ba denied tbat a general agent binds his principal wbea acting witnia tha scope of bis aatboiity, tliaugh he violates his inslr icioaa B.it it ia said that wie agency of dcarTLSB only extended to the transfer ol old shares, sad aot to the crea-eaaf new ones; aad therefore in msJtiag tHe ever rssee wss acting ou'side of his power. The whole force af this argument depends upon tba farsB ol mating the qaest-n and I think it wdl ba found on careful examinaUon, tbat it amoints ta aeahiag mora than saying that tne aent bad no eonvaauoaal sntaonry to do a wrong. He was wmatissioned to kap books for the transfer of stock, aad iaaue certificates ef ownership. Tbat was I he business which wns entrusted to hit care Mia coatnirasion covered the waole subject, aad third persona bad tbe ribl to presume, tbat all be did ia tbat liae wf uainer was rightfully done. It ia tree that he was aot commissioned to crea'e new shares, nor to do any hei wrong; but it is (anally tine, that be wss invested with powers bicb enabled hito lo do wrong, while apparently actirie in the line of his enplo mem.

If as nastier agtai, ha had issued a praaisaory iju in t-e nsase the Cou.pany, he would have stepped entirely beyond his powers, aad would have hoard nooae but himself; bat when he is-saed a certificate of stock, ha did the very thing which tha Cotabaay autborised him to do, aad al-tbawh some were iseoed improperly, still as be was ia the line of his employment, the pnn- opal aost bear tba bard en of his misconduct. A fear ex amp lee will aid ia illustrating the subject. If the Teller ot a Bank, haviag authority to certify cheeks, goes beyond tha understood limit, aad certifies cheeks to an mount which exceeds tbe sam which the drawer haa on deposit, the cannot repudiate the acta of the agent, and any to a head Jtda bolder, wo wilt pay sooie of the esetks and But tha ethers. And thia is so whether tha ageat acted aeglgeai)y or fraudulently, be-ease he as acting ia the business committed to his charge. Again where a Bank is authorized to issue bills or receive deposits to a limited a meant, and tha officers traaeeend tbe limit, it cannot bo doubted that the Bank in both caaes is bound by the acta af ite agents.

It cannot reject the bills which were rasuad after tbe limit bad bee a "hed, nor withhold the eaoaas of deposits Aad ttis doeuiae aiual, 1 thiah, bald good where the wRee of Treat Company racaive trust foods aSrej tita limit preseribed by tha Legislature has been retched, aad where taa agents of a corpora-tMA, having authority to issue hoada, go beyoad the proper lima. ro too," if iheowaa of a aaip canal-beat hiairs tha- master ia relation to tha amoaat freight which he may carry, aad tha agaat tranacenda the limit, it i ia quit clear that the owner of the chip or boat must answer far the load of goods which ware improperly received, as well tor thoae which were its ia the limit, because in both eases the ageat waa acting ta tbe line af hi employment, aad third persoas had aa aaeana ef knowing he acted improperly in mum iastaaco more thai ia tbe other. Thoae ate aralol eases to tha aaa ia hand, aad all are reversed by taa earn principle. It ia the wary rule under which tha affaire mi thia eomaaer-cial and trading aommuaity can ba successfully coad acted. Aeaey in awe form or another eaters in' a large abate probably snore than one-half i value ot all tha aaaineaa traaeactioaa ia the Staso, aad taaoe transacuena anut eoma to an end if third persons, while dealing with the ageat ia tha baewesa eommittad to hia chaqra, must aaeet-tain at tbair para whether ha ia wot acting fraud a-lantly or trans ae ad in tha limk to which he might umperrygo.

Althongh theae oertificstes are not negotiated ia precisely tha same way aa bill a of erchmrc and pvumiasory notes, there can hardly be said to be aay.aubsiarjtial diffetenca between tha two elaseee of cases. On a sale af etoek the holder usually aifia a blaak pawn of attnraey to transfer, aad cvii vera it with tha certifioala and toe papers the pose from hand to hand Vy mere delivery, until soma purchaser thinks proper to fill up tha power, r-errentier the certificate and receive a new one same. Those blank pawera are aome-ase ptiwred ea tha hack af the certificate, aad eeiret na waa the case here are aubjoiaed to aame nteea af paper.

Tbosa who bold that the Company may hat are called tne spot arse cmficates, rely main- Upon the aasumpuoa that by tbe over sssun, the capital stock ol the CotDany was incrsaeed be Vvad the three millions of dollars autnorisod by tbe and it is said that Berber ScurtLtt nor the Dirrctora court bind the Company when acting )oa1 that limit Ta this there are, I think, one or tUo very st-isfaetory aai wcra. In the first place, the argument ia baaed on aa erraaeoua asauaaiitioa. Tbe capital stork anl the eertificatee of ewnerahtp are very different thiols. The capital steck is tbe fund which the Company haa gathered for the purpose of constructing aod operating the read. The ceniticaies are only the lecal evidence of an internet ia the fun-i.

The evrr-ietne of rertiftratea, if belrf to he valid, did Ot iacresse the fosd or capital stock Kiagls farthing, it re ma. Bed in amount precisely wnat it was before. Tbe only effect of the over-tssae was to diminish the value ef the share. The addition ol teenty thousand to tbe orig'nal isue of tiirty lhouasBt shares, reduced the intrinsic value of each sharn to thrre-fifihs vf whst it was before, bu it added rothiag to the capital stock. In my judgment, this distioees of the whole arxncr.ent bated on increase of the capital stock of tbe Cempasy.

But there ia something more. If the directors, or sxy other general ageat of the Company, bad is-aued certificates sou received toe money to tne sxieat cf five rr iilions, and bad thus actually increased tbe capital stock beyond tbe limit in charter, I sm not prepared to admit that tbe Company u.d durnminaie between tbe rliffrent a'eckholi era, and say to one, your eetifica'e in our, brcanae you rot it tenerday when we were wilbiu the limi' and anoUer, yonr c.ertificite is void, because ou got it to-day wbea the lirnr. hsd been paed I am rr.mirlv inclined to the opines ha-ell of the stoekholdera wo'ild tand Bf.ot ibe tarte looting. What has already ben oo sm tker branch of the case, and inn examples wtich were Ibtte mentioned, are. equally sp-plieslWe here, snd need not he repeated The laet tbat tbe Company miebi be cidled to in sect um bv biate for exceedinstbe limit men-tiunsd in the charier, would not reader whe transaction void as between the Company a.i innocent third (fri-ona, who parted with tbeir money wh'le tbe directors or other agents were spparently act-inr.

in i be line o' their emplovruen. Bui however the case mht stand if there had actually an an excrsaot caoiUl stock, tne arzu-nient under consideration is fully untwnrd by ih fct tint theie beeu no such execrs. Too many ceriificB'es have been issued but instead of increasing the capital, the only tffiv't h.u been to dirjiiijib tbe value of each thure. Tbe provision in the charter that the capi.al stock should be divided nbureiof on huudred dollsrs es-b, was not inserted for tne purpose of limiting ibe epitI. for the amount of th a had al-resdy been specified The nominal va'ne of the sbarts was ot.ly mentioned as a matter of convenience 'o the Con.

par. and not as one in which the State bed soy interest. It migtit well have been letttoiho Directors to divide trie speciiied sapual into ss r.i.y hres ss they plesxed. Waetber the Domi al of ibe shares ws either more or less, would neither increase nor diminish the substantia powers or puvilreeof the Company and if fifty Ihousmd snares, of the nominal value of one hundred dollars each, hsve been issued, no in-juiy has been done to the Sta'e of Connecticut, snd I do lot ibiok it any ground torfeiturw as to tbe whole or any part of the fraurhine. If the capital a'oeh had been increased, the Sr.ae mignt lave called the act in question but there has been bo increase.

We are thus brought to CtMiaider the question as oae between 'he Comny and its tn'-mbcrs, and so one else and I do not think the Company ran reject any portion of the shares on tbe ground that by issuing too many the intrinsic value of each has been diminished ft it true th.t the first stock holders will, suffer damage, but that is no more thi-n may happen in auy Company, where trust is reposed in an agent who i rovcs un-IsiMul. Tbis does not come within the class of cases wbere a corpoiauon has acted outside of its chartered powers, as where an insurance company issues circulating notes, or a bank issues ilicies of intuiance. Nor dots it come within the class of esses where a corporation does a forbidden act. or one which is contrary to the policy of tbe law, at tthere a bank issues post notes. In all such cases third perrons deal with the corpora-ion at tl.eir peril, for ttey see upon the face of the transaction that it is unauthorised, and void.

But it is not no nere. Keeping tranafer books and issuing certificates, whntuer done by the directors or any other ageat of the 1 cmpany, were authorized acts they were lawful in their naturn, ai.d third persons dealing with the Company or its agents in thst business, miirht well preeune tbat tbe act was rigbuul done. AA'hst has beea said may btj applied te the different clashes of persons wlij hild what are cslltd spurious cenifiostes. as follows 1. Those wbo have, in the usual way, obtained eeitificates in their own names, are stockholders in the Company, and entitled to be treated as such for all purposes.

In this" elasa I include those who have onisined certificates since, as tve(J as tnose who obtaii.ed them at the time of the purchase or by potheeaiion 2. These who hsve not yet obU.ned certificates in tbeir own names, may do bo oa surrendering the certificates wbica tbey hold, with lbs power to iraaifer, and having tbe transfers made upon tbe beoks of the Company and will, therefore, beco-ne stockholders, with all the righ resulting from tbst relation. Should tbe Company, on a proper application, refuse to allow the transfers to be made and to issue new certificates, the holders can matnlun actions against the Company tj recover tbe value of tne slock. 1 sm fully of opinion tbat tbe Companv is answerable in some form for the acts of dcHOYt.ce and, if it can be shown that there is a raoie remedy iban the one which has been mentioned, it will tot diminish the force of what hae been said on the main question.

John Brll sworn I was a boatman on the TOth July last, and while i was talking to the wa'caman, John Adams, I saw two men come down tbe dock, both apparently druiik I saw a man come from off the steamboat, dressed only in his shirt, and with a wooden bar in his band Coyne was diin nothing when tins man came out he seemed anxious to fight Dunn but at this time D-inn was on tbe steamhoax whenever I saw the man come wita tbe stick, tLe watchnan and I and others raa away tbe man walked at a smart pace I did not see Coyne till after the fray wns over; Fallon came up to roe aod said that he was struck, and U.at Coyne was killed we went up and laid Coyne nndt tbe r-bed I observed his eyes blackened and swollen I asked Adams to nib his hand over CfjDe's hesd to feel if there were any injuries inflict but there wss no blood. Thomas Aiami, watchma.1, corroborated the last witi.efs in tbe leading particulars. Mr.

Phillips, (forth defence,) asked him as to hr character of ne ihborhood, but the District Aitorney "jeced. Mr Phillips said he proposed to show that this vicinity was infected Willi canes of rowdies and i midbikbt powler. rendering the place unsafe for the banrV.on board tbe boat alter nightfall, i The District Attorney replied mat they were going to try tbis man for the act committed, and i were not to be influenced in any degree by the character of tbe neighborhood. Mr Philips said tbat. if the act fur which the prisoner wss being tiied could be shown to have been done tn apprehension ot imminent personal danger, then that would constitute a perfectly valid defence The District Attorney admitted that, hut said if a man voluntarily joined in these outrages he could have no such grounds of defence.

Mr. Phillips put his question in writing in this form Do you not know that attacks have Ire-' qut ntly been made on the hands on board the A'-ns-r-1 ore, and other vessels lying near her, al late hours of the night The District Attorney objected. I His Houor admitted the inquiry, and exception 1 was taken by tbe prosecuting counsel. The witness replied ia the affinnaMve. Mr.

Phillip, (to the witnees) Have you ever heard threaia frequently uttered against the hands on board Mr. Sanford's steamer The District Attorney again objected. Objection overruled and exception taken. arii answered tbis question als in tbe afEr-, mative. He assigned as a reason aoroe grudge ex-: it-ting between the workmen in employment and others who were not entaged a man would go up and s'rike another or knack him dowa the prisoner as a quiet, sober, regular man, and witness never before this heard or Saw anything against his character be (witness) did not know who was the man who at ruck Coyne.

I Dr. Francis M. Wright, made a post mortem eaamicalton of the body of Michael Coyne thero wss a dod of eosgulated blood on the skull shove the tight temple ttete was aa extensive frao- tore on tbe base of the skull three, or three aad a half inches long, and beginning behind the eye quite a considerable force would be necessary to produce such an injury there was another fracture oa tbe other side; a blew with a heavy weapon with a ronnd or fiat side without an edge would cause such injuries compression of tbe brain and 1 the shock produced by the fracture at the base of the skull produced the man's death he died on the day be was brought into the hospital. 1 To Mr. J'hdhpt A fall from a height might produce the injury on the side of the bead, bat not the other.

This clotted the case for the prosecution, "Ut. Phillips opened the ease for the defence by I asserting tlie hixh character that had ever been maintained by Corcoran, and staling the leading gioundsxf the defence as they appear in the following evidence adduced ea behalf of tbe prisoner. Visa (res. ifrswa, sworn I was first mate of the Kmnrbrt on tbe 30th July last I turned in at 10 o'clock that nigbt; I awoke at 20 minutes after 12 o'clock exactly, by my wsteh I he aid a noioe cn the dock, and recognised the voice of Duan he shouted Murder Dunn had beea three years on board our vessel as wheelman, and I waa familiar with hia voice I told Thomas WUsoa, the second male, ta get up aad go dowa with me as there was a row on' the dock; I went dowa on the forecastle deck and saw Dunn on hia back, with Coyne and Fallon on top of him; Dunn's clothing was torn all in pieces they were nil fight-ins together I got a hold of Coyne by the arm, aad ho said Lt me alone, Mr. Brown, or it will be the worse for you 1 separated them, aad they all stood an torether in a moment thev attacked Dunn again and dragged him on the plank he was oa tho edge falling overboard, aad would, if I had snosKsxl ardor," and called for John Coiworan Corcoran was aee ping mine lorecasUe i aaw him then come Bp on deck with nothing bat hia shirt on I heard Coyaa ay Where ia my knife when Coreoraa came cm deck they all went oo the dock, and I saw noth lag that took place after warda I aaw Kalian next morning at" minutes paet i o'clock I asked tbe watchman what brought him there he said he had given him a bed.
