A meeting of the Board of Health was held Jast evening, at which D Verdi, health oficer, Je a report on the condition of the central guardhouse. He <ays:—-The cells are not hy ed. — by an imperfect stove in the halt, and each ceil contaius a privy within it without water; that the privy exhales its effiuria in the room, rendering the atmosphere poi- soLous. ides the thirteen privies in the cells abere are five others on the tirst floer, withoyt Yentilation or water; that the contents of said ivies are psited in cesspools In the same » from which, through old and corroded pipes, often choked and out of order, it is co: ducted to the canal.

All the pipes and sinks are out of order and become choked at the slightest obsta- cle. The tower Is yielding totime, and a strong gale might blow it over. to the peril of the men Who sleep in the dormitory. In concluding, Dr. Verdi says: “it ix a strange fact that these policemen, who would close any private house tm the same condition as a nuisance dangerots to life and health, are compelled to inhabit themseives such a building,” and recommends the Board of Health to condemn it as a uuisance injurious to health. BILLS POR THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. Dr. Cox reported that he bad placed in the pose ape yd Rs tke Council the bills on ¥accination and interments to be presented that body. In regard to the appropriation bili it was concluded to ask no additional + ation for the present. Hecousidered it bat fast that the $7, expended, by direction of the Governor, fo place the city in good sanitary condition should be returned to the board, to be added to their contipgent fund. Bo MORE SaLaRIED OFFICERS. Dr. Verdi moved that an assistant to the in- spector of fish be appointed, at the rate of $75 per month, until the fees of the inspector are settled. He said that the inspector eon!d not be expected to perform all the duties required. The Position was an iumportant one, and he was en- titled to assistance. Mr. Marbury was opposed to creati salaried officer, and although he believed fish Inspector was entitled to assistance lhe could pot covsent tothe creation of another efficer, to be paid otherwise than by fees. The motion was referred. Mr. Marbury moved that the Health Officer be dirceted to ‘mepect the county jail and the Police Court tufiding, and report as to their sanitary condition, agreed to. Dr. Verdi meved that the central bouse is hereby declared a nuisance injurious to health, and that a of the report on its con dition and the resolution be sent to the Governor; adopted. Adjourned. Tne Case AGAinstT Mas. Myra CLARK GarxEs— Verdict for Doddridge, the Plaintiff, for $50,000.— On Wednesday, the jury in the case of C.E. Doddridge agt. Myra Clark Gaines, found averdiet for plaintiff for £50,000, the amount claimed. In this case the plaintiff was an at- or rdl— tornes for defendant, and after the case m which he was counsel lad been decided against her, secured, it is claimed, the setting of the judgment. avd thereby became entitled to the fee of $f%,000, which he alleges was promised in case he was successful. Yesterday, the counse! for the defendant— Messrs. Appleby and Edmonston—tiled a motion tor a new trial, on the ground that the verdiet was informal; that the closing sentence in the court's charge, “If yon find for the plaintiff, therefore, my instruction is, that you will find Tor him in the sum of $50,000, and if vou do not, you will render a verdict for the defendant,* was spt to mislead the jnry; that the jury did not comprehend the instructions of the coart: that the evidence is insufficient to support the verdict; that the verdict is unreasonable, the damages excessive: that the amount of verdict is based upon nti into by plaintift nt whilst. as it was alleged, the plaintiff held the Sduciarv re- lation w.th defendant of attorney and counsellor at law. and the court will not nphold any ver- dict based upou the contingent fee ot a lawyer ef Public | * LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
