Judge Greenwood and General N B. Duryea appeared for Mr. Martin, and N. F. Waring, Esq., for the eity. The issue thus tendered was argued before the General Term of the Supreme Court in July, 1845. At the following October Term the court

handed down a decision holding that the Mayor and Common Comeil of Brooklyn were not bound in law to file the reports of the said commissioners, nor to pay Mr. Martin the damages awarded by them, or to take any further action whatever con- eerning the opening of the said streets, under the petition pre- sented to the Trustees of the Village of Brooklyn. From this judgment of the Supreme Court, Mr. Martin appealed to the Court of Appeals. In January, 1848, the matter came on for argument before that court; in the following April it rendered a decision affirming in all things the judgment of the Supreme Conrt, holding that the Trustees of the village and the Commnon Council of the city of Brooklyn were legally right in the course they had pursued towards Mr. Martin and the other owners of lands through which the streets were laid.
Thus it is seen that twenty years had been consumed in this great and important litigation ; and that Mr. Martin, after having complied with a resolution of the Trustees of Brooklyn, that he should give up his lands for publie streets; after having sustained great damages by his compliance with said resolution, in removing his rope-walk, in taking down his buildings thereon ; and after public streets had been unlawfully foreed through it, and had become the most thickly populated in the city; and after commissioners appointed under the Revised Statutes had fully and carefully assessed his damages in the first instance, and after being muleted in large bills of costs, he was turned out of court without any legal remedy. After seeking in vain to compel the trustees to comply with the law touching the open- ing of streets, he commenced his action to recover it, and was defeated on the several grounds we have stated, and on the further ground that his remedy was by mandamus to compel the Common Council of Brooklyn to pay him his damages awarded by the commissioners, and to legalize their other acts in regard to the opening of the said streets. That, in conform- ity to the decision of the Supreme Court. he did proceed by mandamus against the said Common Council, and was defeated in those proceedings by the General Term and the Court of Appeals, on the grounds we have stated, which, in substance, means, that his only remedy was an action against the board to recover his damages, etc. Unfortunately, however, for Mr. Martin, as he had already resorted to an action in that court, and been defeated by a judgment against him, which must be regarded as res judicata, he was, as we have said, left withont legal remedy, and thus, so far as legal redress is concerned, the matter still rests. This case is a monumental ease of the oft- repeated failure of justice in our courts, so far, at least, in the view of common sense and good judgment, upon which law is said to be founded. It is said that, after the lapse of sonre time, the matter was finally adjusted between Mr. Martin and the Common Council of the eity.
COPPIN agst. GATEWOOD.
'I'ms case was conducted for the plaintiff by the late James T. Brady, and tended largely to establish his splendid reputation as a lawyer.
The faets in the case are, briefly, these : In the summer of 1837, an Englishman of the name of Richard Coppin, with his family, consisting of a wife and two daughters, embarked from Liverpool for New York, leaving one son, a young man about twenty years of age, who was engaged in business in Liverpool. Mr. Coppin had with him considerable money. During the voyage he, with his wife and one daughter, died of ship fever, leaving the youngest daughter, Sarah, then about forteen years of age, alone in the world. She landed in New York. An Englishman and his wife, who accompanied them, and who were on their way to some of the Western States, engaged board for Sarah in-as they sup- pourel a respectable family near Williamsburgh, wrote to her brother informing him of the state of affairs, and pursued their
way westward. They were imprudent enough to entrust all of Sarah's money with the man in whose family she boarded, direeting him to pay it out as her necessities required. Instead of doing so, however, he robbed her of her money and turned her over to the Overseers of the Poor, representing that she was a pauper, which appearances seemed to indicate.
She was a strong, bright, active, intelligent girl; and instead of taking her to the County poor-house, they bound her out, under the statute relating to paupers, to a man by the name of Gatewood, in the neighborhood, until she should attain her ma- jority. In her new home she was cruelly neglected and compelled to do work beyond her strength. After the lapse of several months, her brother James arrived in New York in search of his sister. It was a long time before he found her. The meeting between them was most affecting.
After a brief interview with his sister, he proposed that she should accompany him to New York. She joyfully acceded to the proposal, but when in the act of leaving Gatewood in terfered, forbidding her to do so, and ronghly ordering the young man to leave, informing him that the girl belonged to him, that she was his property, and would be until she was of age. In proof of his claim, he produced the written indentures, duly executed and delivered to him by the Super- intendents of the Poor of Kings County, making Sarah his property, as he had alleged. This was a terrible blow to the brother. Ile had heard of American slavery, and believed his poor little sister was reduced to that condition. Gatewood would not listen to any of his importunities, and, with threats of vio- lenee, drove him away. Almost heart-broken, he returned to New York, and was directed by a young friend to James T. Brady, then a young lawyer first emerging into eminence. The young man's appeal to Mr. Brady was most touching. "They have made a slave of my poor little sister," he said; "all the relative I have in the world. I cannot endure it, and I have come to you for help, for indeed she is not a slave; she is the daughter of a frce-born Englishman."
Mr. Brady drew from the young man a full history of the case, and became deeply interested in it, promising to do all he coukl to regain the liberty of the girl. On investigating the matter, he found the Superintendents had bound Sarah to Gatewood in the usual indentures, under sec. 5, chap. 8, vol. 2, of the Revised Statutes, and that they were in due form of law; but, on full in- vestigation, he believed that he could set aside the indentures, and he caused the girl to be brought up on a writ of habeas corpus before Hon. Nathan B. Morse, then First Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Kings County.
The matter now became very important to the Superintend- ents of the Poor, as well as to Gatewood, who greatly desired to keep the girl. The Superintendents had, as they believed, complied strictly with the statute, and it therefore became their duty to sustain the indentures by every means in their power They accordingly retained George M. Wood, Esq., one of the most eminent lawyers of that day, and under his advice, a return to the writ was made that Sarah Coppin was held by Gatewood as his servant or apprentice, according to certain indentures executed to him by the Superintendents of the l'oor of the County of Kings, under the statute made in such case and pro vided, the said Sarah being, at the time of said indentures, a pauper within the meaning of the statute aforesaid.
The hearing of the case took place before Judge Morse, at the court-rooms in Brooklyn. Its singular nature, the contem platod blow at the right of the Superintendents to bind ont panpers under the statute, and the question whether persons situated like Sarah Coppin eonkl thus be deprived of their free- dom for a terni of years, the interest attached to her case, and to that of her brother, gave the matter great publicity. It was a matter of vast importance to Mr. Brady, in a professional point of view. He was to meet one of the gladiators of the State; he
1269

was to contend for a new principle in law that was to overthrow the official acts of men in high authority.
After elosing his opening to the judge, Mr. Wood, who believed he had a very easy ease, asked the court to remand Sarah Coppin to the care of her master, Mr. Gatewood, on the ground that the indentures by which he held her were legal, in strict conformity with the statute, therefore conclusive; that the court had no power to go behind them to inquire under what circumstances they were executed. He closed by reading the statute and the indentures. But Brady was prepared on this point; and after an elaborate argument and the production of numerous authorities, the judge decided to allow him to introduce evidence of the facts in the case under which the indentures were executed. Among other things, Brady proved by the Keeper of the County Poor-House of Kings County that Saralı had never been an in- mate of that institution. He proved by the Overseer of the Poor that he had never, in any way, assisted her, or been called upon to assist her. With this and some other proofs, he rested his ease.
Mr. Wood proved by the man and woman with whom she was left that they soon discovered she had no money, and being un- able to keep her, they sent her away, and afterwards directed the Overseers of the Poor to care for her. Brady, on the cross. cxam- ination, compelled the man to admit that when Sarah came to his house she had some money, but how much, or what became of it, he never knew. It was certain she had none when he sent her away. At the elose of the evidence, Mr. Wood insisted that nothing had been proved showing that Sarah should be dis- charged from the indentures; that she was in every sense of the word a pauper; that if she had not received actual aid from the Poor authorities she was in a situation to become chargeable
to the county; that, within the meaning of the statute, a liability of becoming chargeable was sufficient, in analogy to the condi- tion of a putative father in an order of filiation; that the public policy and the due administration of the poor laws demanded that the indentures in this case be sustained and the girl remanded to her master. It is said Mr. Wood never made a more able argument than upon this occasion, the outlines of which we have briefly sketched, and which at first seeme.1 conclusive.
Mr. Brady's argument was never forgotten by those who heard it; never, even in the days of his most brilliant suecess at the Bar, did he excel it in logic, learning, or in the manner in which he marshalled and arranged the facts in the case. The patlios of his appeal to the sympathy of the judge touched all hearts. If it failed to affect thic learned judge the manner in which he presented the law applicable to the case produced re- sults which pathos could not. Among the authorities presented was the opinion of Judge Yates in Schermerhorn agst. Hull (13th John's, 269), which is not only a leading ease, but one so strictly analogous to that at bar that there was hardly a shade of differ- ence, therefore a case in point, sustaining the doctrine that be- fore the Superintendents of the Poor of any county have any authority to cxeente indentures, under the statute, like those under which Sarah Coppin was held, the person bound by thein must be reduced to the actual condition of a pauper under the care of the Keeper of the Poor-House. The judge, after due de- liberation, sustained Mr. Brady's views, giving Sarah into the care of her brother, who in a short time returned with her to England. Before leaving, however, young Coppin took means to recover the amount of money placed in the care of the man with whom Sarah had been left on her arrival in New York.
