LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE OITY LAW DEPARTMENT. Boon nftor Mayor Colvin ind entored into of- Yoo, and whon tho dofnleation of Mr. Gago be- samo publie, the proforsionnl sorvicos of tho frm of Dickey & Caulfiold wore rotained by tho olty. Iuvlow of the magnitudto of the ine torests involved, the fact that outsido logal as- siatanco was called In wna not spocially reinark- able, nor was tho selection of Mr, Caulfleld con- sidored singular, owing to hig intimato con- nection with tho People’s party and his doing so much to promote its victory, But, sfter the tonfirmation of Judge Norton, and sfter the Giago mottor hiad beon disposed of by the turn- ng ovor of his pruporty ton Trustos for tho bonefit of tho aby, it was supposed that the spoclal nocossity for outsido lognl asalstance Liad consod, Tho presumption was that the now Corporation Counsel would, liko his predocessor, bo cnabled to nttend to the ordinary logal busi- nawa of Lhe city without nid, save in oxcoptional vaNCH, Lost yoar's npproprintion bill congnh\ud an itom of 15,000 for lni;ul oxponues, That was to meot cagon similar to that of Mr. Gage, or to provide for tho legal nsuistance noode in do- fouding Lienvy tnx cnsoe, otc, 1t appoars, how- ever, that tho n]vproprlnklnn, which was mado for thcwo ppocinl cascs, i in & fair way of boin; oxhinusted. Lt is assorted that the professiona soryices of Mensrs, Dickey & Caulflold and of Mossrn, Tuloy, Stiles, sud Lowis have been froquontly employed. Thate are now ponding In the courts 560 cases in which the city is intorested. Of thowo, 2560 aro Inw cases against the city, involving dam- nges to the smount of $1,680,376.07 ; 108 crimi- na! and quasi-criminal cases ;69 tax cases, sud 92 cases where the clty is plaintift in city affaira. ‘Under the old systom which provailed whon Gon, Stiles was City Attornoy snd Mr, Taloy Corporation Counsol, tho Iatter gavo oll tho logn opinions required by the Common Couuell or city oficors; attondod'to all tux caues, and to Those. fu which tho city was plalutift, fu nddl- tlon to this, Cnpt. Connoit, nominally on assiatont in tho offico of tho Corporation Couusel, really worked up tho testimony for tho city in thoso countless cndes whoro uits wero bronght against it for damugos on account. of lows incurred by defectivo sidewalks, holes in the streots, ote. ~According to the Charter, tho Corporation Counsel ia tho chiof ofticer of the Inw dopartmont. 1lo s roquired to conduct all tho law Lusiness of tho corporation and of the departments, and all othor law business in which tho city shall be intorested, with tho assistauco of tho City Attorney, ‘Tho Corporation Counsol in, according to the Clinrter, tho superior, and tho Clty Attorney tho inferior.' “Tho genoral supor- vision of the legal business should como upon tho former, and ho should be tho one on whom tho groater share of the work ghould fall. If iho ngreemont montioned is still in forco, it will Do scon that tho Corporation Counsel would liavo on his hands 161 cases out of tho 660 in which the city is intercsted, leaving the City Attornoy to attond to 418, While it is truo that the Corporation Counsel has given quite & nuni- bor of ophflons—Pnrhnps five or_ six—to tho Common Conucil sud the NMayor, yot thero lave not been cnough to countor- Dalonco this immongo disproportion in the numbor of cnses to bo tried in court. It was suggested that the Corporation Counsel was so Lusy attending to his own lnw businces that ho was unable to look nftor the affairs of tho city to aby greator extont than at present. In order to nrcertnin whothor this statement was correct, a roportor was dirceted to call at the oftico of Norton, Perking & Chaso, that boing the firm of which the Corporation Counsol was p member, for the purposo of learning whother ho was still convected ~ with it. Ho was informed by ono of tho partnoys that any roport that Mr. Norton bod dissolved Ius connection with tho firm wns incorrect, and that ho was still an ac- tivo momber of it. Howns also handed n card, which had on it tho names of ¢W. W, Porkins, F. L. Chaso, and Jesso O, Norton, Corporation Counsel.” Now, the City Chinrler, 1s nmended in 1805, rends as follows: Tho Corporation Counsel of sald city and the Clty Attornoy shull dovote themsclyes exclusively to tho dutles of thelr vespectiva oflices, and shall huvo. their oftico #n such placo as shall bo provided by the Com- mon Counctl, Nelther of said oflicers slioll be em- Ploged In auy othier businees thun {lint which elatea fo the dutles of thelr oflices respectively during tho terms for which they were chosen. , The reporter wna algo directed to sco Mr. Storrs, and ascortnin whaothor Mr. Jamicson, the City Attorney, who was {ormurliy a momber of tho firm of Btorrs & Jamieson, hind dissolved his partnership, but ho was unsble to moet tho gentloman, aud, consoquontly, could not ascer- fain what had been done by this ofiicer._ The rovisions of the Charter are imperative, If the Elty Attornoy is still engaged in othor business, it it his duty to nbandon it and dovoto himself wolely to that of Lis ofiico; and it is 1l!lnlhly tho duty of tho Corporation Counsel, instead of sponding tho money of the city in tho employ- ‘ment of outside firms,to give up Lis privata law- suits and attend exclusively tothoso of the city. gtk 4 THE DIVORCE BUREATU.
