DISGRACEFUL SCENES.

Exploits of a Millionaire's Daughter., in New York. INew York telegram,] A handsome woman, showing many traces of refinement, was a prisoner at the Yorkville Police Court to-day. She was Miss Mary Hoyt, daughter of the late Jesse Hoyt, the millionaire, who recently figured in the courts as a contestant in her father’s will. She was charged with being drunk and disorderly. The officers who made the arrest said that she came to the station house about 5 o’clock and commenced abusing Officer Coon, who occupied the Sargeant’s desk, and said that the police were devils, thieves, and fiends. She concluded this tirade by throwing her umbrella at the Sergeant’s head. Her sachet and watch soon followed the umbrella, when she was arrested and put in a cell. She had previously assaulted an officer at the Grand Central Depot. At the trial to-day Miss Hoyt frequently intenupted the witnesses and in such’ a loud tone of voice that Justice Powers said he would have to fine her if she did not keep quiet-. The witness declared Miss Hoyt was under the influence of liquor, but the young lady declared that she was not, and said* that she thought she had been dragged. She was fined $lO for disorderly conduct. As she left the courtroom she said,- excitedly: “This is an outrage. I shall apply to the President of the United States for protection.” Miss Hoyt was in the asylum in July and August, 1872, and it is said by her friends that she was temporarily insane and not drunk, as claimed by the officers.
