Bomo timo in the spring of 1871, Mrs. Toltch rocoivod o lotter from Benjawin Wildor, bor brother, stating his condition, and asking money and halp from his fathor aud brothers, Bho, Tiowavor, Lkopt tho matier sooret from all but hor lusband, Leiteh, Powell, nud 'Townsond wore thon partnera in the distillory businoss, and occupying n part of this lang wu question, When ihoy heard of Banjamin'y condition thioy imme- dintoly dovised o plan to obtaln Lis shinro of the Jand ab & low prico, ns thoy knew that ho was unacquaiutad with the valuo of land hero, hav- ing boen absont for yonra.

On Benjamin stating that he hind no frionds, Powoll communi- cated the iuformation of his mother's doath, and asked If sho left no property. Ths wrisoner thon stated that Lo thought sbio did, nnd offored to mortgogo his intorest to raiso funds, Dub this did not suit Powell, aud ho refused to go on with the mntter, nuless Bonjamin would glve Lim ndeed of the luud, Ao that Lo could raiso tho monoy in hLis own name. Denjamiu, then ignorant of the value of ftho land, signed n doed for tha nominal consideration of $1,600 for land worth $20,000. On gotling this, Powell, withont making an effort to procure & pardon, immedintely startod North again, He Lied, to Induca Bcn,f;lmin to sign the deod, re- prosiented that the laud was only worth abont 8900 an_ncro, that it was low and” swampy, sud only suitable for hay. ‘Lo deod was soou after put oo rocord.

He protestod thon—bha bnd slways protost- ed—against the systom of writing up the minutes on slips of paper,—it was simply absurd, and Lighly improper. Ho hiad taken pains to iustract tho Clerk in his own oflico, but all was useleas,— lio ndhiered to bis own way, which was incom- plote, incoherent, and contradiotory. Justico Soully moved that the Clerk bo in- structed to sprend the minutes on the record, so t.lmll they might bo corrccted, which was onar- risd. Justico Austin complained that tho OClork's minutes wero ungrammatical and illogicel. ‘Uhe unfortunate Clerk bogan rending anothor 8ot of records, and was constantly objected to on account of his solecisms.

Mr. Wall said ho had not received any such roturn, but the Clork might kiow, Mr. Olarke sdid that his record showed that O'Brien had beon elected Collector, Baker Su- pervisor, Rafferty Assessor, Fitzgerald Town- Olark, and Roddy Constable, IToread the ofil- al roturn, which sppeared to bo sntisfactory, James W, Olark, tho Town Clerk, then pre- sented tho following lottor: . The reason why I did not make any return to the County Clerk fs.us follows : First, that Amberg, Wall, and O'Brien refused to uck us judges, Socond, the Lighth Ward judges wera Loth drank. Third, tho Ninth Ward had no tally sheet, and _camo 192 snort, Fourth, the judges of tha Trelfth Werd counted tho ballots themselves, Fifth, the Fiftoonth Wurd ballot~ Vox came fu unlocked, After tho transaction of somo unimportant routine business, the Board sdjourned. —_—— ¥ CRIMINAL.
