THE GLOBE yiiiTs EXTRA! the Police Commission act, so as to transfer to tbe Commission the doty of licensing victuallers. Tbe trouble is that a persciu who wishes to get a license to sell liquor as a victualler mast first get a license as victualler from tbe Aldermen's Committee on Licenses. The committee may li-eense a man as a victualler, and then it is for the Commission to say whether he shall have a license to sell liquor under his victualler's license. As in irioet cases a licensed victualler also wants to sell liquors, tbe disadvantage of dividing authority is obvious. Dramatic Notes.

AN AUDACIOUS BURGLAR. A Yorker's Thrilling Kxperlence In His Sleeping Apartment "Mtir a Foot or Make a and I'll Blow Your Head Off." he residence of Mr. Frank T.W. Palmer, So, 332 West Fifty-eighth street.

New York, waa entered by burglars ou Thursday morning, who succeeded in carrying off a pair of pantaloons, iu the pocket of which were $4U, Mr. Palmer's office keys, a gold watch and chain, with a valuable locket attached, a silver match box and a gold stud button. At 4.oO o'clock Mr. Palmer was awakened by the scratching of a parlor match iu bis liearoom. As the wood ignited lie raised Limaelf to a sitting posture, and was startled lo see a strange man stooping in the centre of the room.

"What do you want there'" called -Mr. Palmer as soon as he had rocovereu from his astonishment. A quick breath from the Btranger extinguished the light as he answered: "Stir afoot or make a noise and I'll blow your head ftlT." Mrs. Palmer lay quietly sleeping, and her hushand, fearing to disturb her and perhaps endanger both their lives, obeyed the rullian's commands. Keare of the ItufTlsjii.

The latter, all ie while facing the bed in which Mr. Palmer was, backed out of the front window and dangled his legs until he obtained a footing on the coping-stone, when he. sprang olf, clearing the stoop, and landed ou the fidewalk. Mr. Palmer, ran to the window and was astonished to sen the robber uet up from the spot where he had fal len, and with a Blight limp run toward Ninth avenue.

When be reached the corner he was joined by a companion, who had apparently been keeping watch for him, and both disappeared. Mr. Palmer hastily aroused his wife, and after having ascertained the amount of their loss, notiiied acting Captain Sergeant Crown of the Twenty-second Precinct of the oecurreuce. Lost anil Found. Mr.

Palmer was at a loss, when reflecting on the occurrence, to understand what had prompted the robber, after be had secured his plunder and was ready to depart, to strike a match and expose him-sell to recognition and probable arrest. The reason for it soon came to light. Mrs, Palmer is in the habit of wearing a ring a present from her husband containing a diamond valued at J700. For security sake she wore the ring at all times, and retired with it on her finger the night before. During the search of the room to discover what had been stolen, she did not think of examining the more than to assure herself it was on her finger.

What was her surprise later to tind that the stone hus gone. The setting of the ring plainly showed the imprints of the robber's teeth, where he bad actually bitten itout as she lay asleep. While Mrs. Palmer was deploring her uewlj -discovered loss, her husband whs attracted by a glistening object on the carpet a few feet from him. lie picked it up, and turning lo his wile handed her the missing stone.

The thief, who doubtless knew its value, bad, after dexterously biting it irom the ring, dropped itou the floor and ribked the lighting of a match to search lor it.

ArntTOR riEs ottdrr statctes -Oi I87S. Walter Fesmenden vs. Caleb Nlckersoo. chapter 17 of the Genera Statutes of 1873. provided that the compensation awarded by the Supreme Judicial al Superior courts to auditors appointed by those- eourts shall be paid bvthe counties in which they are appointed, and shall not be taxed in the bill of costs of either party to the action.

This case ws an exception to the rulings of the Superior Court on th taxation of costs under this statute. Tbe case was referred to an auditor November 25. 1870, and was duly returned into court May 27, 1 378. The statute was approved April 30. 1878.

Tne. auditor fouud for the plaintiff, and upon the taxation of costs in the suit, the clerk included tbe fee ot the auditor with other items of cost to be recovered by the plaintiff of the defendant. The Court affirmed" the taxation, and both parties appealed from tbe ruling, they claiming that tue auditor's fee could not lie taxed to either of them under the above-recited act. The chief point in Hie ease was whether the act referred to a case where the judgment had been rendejed to such ca.ses as where the Judgment had not been rendered before the act took effect. The rescript is as follows: Excent ions sustained and taxation modiiied bv striking out the auditor's foe.

The statutes of 1878. chanter 173. applies to all eases in which final judgment had not been rendered nor the auditor's compensation awarded before it took effect. The same point was decided in the case of Edward S.Satford vs. city of Boston, in which a like reseript has been sent down.

Hill Manufacturing Company vs. Providence aud New York Steamship Company. The declaration In this case was fiiea in contract or tort. It was brought to recover the value of a shipment of or cotton made by the plaintiff corporation, delivered at Lowell to the Boston aud Lowell Railroad Company for transportation to New York. It was carried as far as Providence by rail, and thence by one ot the defendants' steamers, duly enrolled under the laws of the Cinteit States, to "New Y'ork.

The cloth was so received on board one of the defendants' steamers st Providence. Mav 23. 18t8. to be so carried and delivered at New York to various consignees. The steamer duly arrived at New York, with the said cotton cloth as a part of her on Sunday morning.

May 24,. It being Sunday, none of the cargo was discharged, and in the afternoon of that day a lire broke out in the buildings at or near tbe head of the pier where the steamer lay. and the steamer was consequence of said fire iMirned to tbe water's edge, and the plaintiifs cotton was either burned or landed in a damaged condition. Thisactlon was brought to recover the loss so suffered by the plaintiff corners tion. Tbe wharf pronerty and buildings burned were leased to the defendants.

As to how the tire caught, the evidence was conflicting, and as to the kind of buildings upon the whbrf whether they were suitable, and such as similar steamship companies built. The plaint ilf sued to recover judgment against the Boston and Lowell Railroad for the cause of action. The questions which this case present arises largely under the construction of the act of Congress, 1851, chapter 43, an act to limit the liability of ship owners, and for other purposes. This act recites that no steamship company shall 'oe Habte for any loss or damage to merchandise shipped or put ou board by means ot tire happening on board said ship or vessel, unless such tire is caused by the design or neglect of the owners; and that bv reason of faid loss the liability to the ship or owners, if without their privity or knowledge, shall in no ease exceed the amount or value of the interest of such owner or owners respectively in such ship or vessel and her freight then pending. Soon after tbe accident above recited, the deleudaut steamship company entered a libel and petition in the District Court of the Cnited States for tbe Southern District of New York, to limit the liability of said defendant company under this act.

At the trial of the case the defencaiit company asked the Court to rule that the libel and petition so tiled in New York would he a bar to this suit; that there was no evidence that the lire was occasioned bv the design or neglect of said company within the true construction of said act; that if the tire originated on shore aud communicated to said defendant's boat, it could not be held liable; that, unless the tire occurred by defendant's neglect. it was not liable; that the plaintiff having elected to sue the Boston and Lowell Railroad and having recovered judgment against it tor the same loss, it could not recover against the defendant. The Court refusing to give these rulings, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and" defendant took exceptions. These exceptions have now been overruled. The rescript is as follows: overruled.

The evidence was sufficient to warrant Ihe verdict, aud was submitted to the jury with suitable instructions. The evidence as to the structures or wharves in Boston might be pionerly excluded, as tending to raise collateral issues. The proceedings aud decree iu the federal Court are no liar lo this action for the deteudant's own negligence." United States District Court Judge Lowell. Leauder Smith et al. vs.

On or about June 12, 1878. the said brigantine arrived at the port of Saint Thomas, on her voyage to Boston from the Harbadoes. in a damaged condition, having on board 214 hogsheads and thirty-six tierces of sugar as cargo. At the said port the captain, in order to make repairs, gave a bottomry bond in tbe sum of 84120 23 to secure an advance to make tbe said vessel seaworthy.
