GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE LAW COURTS—TWO IN- DICTMENTS FOUND BY THE GRAND JURY AGAINST THE Clty JUDGE. ‘ Oct, 8.—There waa unusual commotion in the Court this morning, occasioned by the painful rumor that some other city functionary had been indicted by the Grand Jury for malfeasance in office. During the argument on the motion to quash the in- dictments against the members of the Common Council, the Grand Jury entered Court, when the foreman—Me. Chas. A, Daviee—banded in a bundle of indictments. The Judge asked the District Attorney if he wishel to make any motion with regard to the indictments now | Prove every werd castalned. in ag’ sllieeite. Hewven presented to the Court? ova tat he rhoutd be heard to im gh any man On or off the giand jury, when an affidavit of ten lines would purge them; but in the absence of any adi- davfi on the other side, he wax to presume that all he had heard was true, If the defendant could net be beard on such an affidafit as he had pre- rented, the grand jury might have been all aliens, and there was no remedy Jett him—their acts would be entively beyond the reach of the law. He retered to the ‘anes of Lambert ys. the People; the State vs. Rickie; the State vs. Hagner, Ist Greenleaf, S14; and in referring to Wharton's Criminal Law, 120, Mr. Brady taid that the want of qualification of the foreman of the Grand Jury is & conclusive reason for quashing the indictment, “The Jistriet Attorney had aid that it was scandalous for Al- derman Herrick’ to charge in his affidavil that his malig- aut and personal foe was admitted into the Qggnd Jury yoom, but what business had he (Mr. Wood) tire! Can i! be pretendéd that he was a witness? Who made the Mayor of New York the official adviser of the Grand Jury? Were the defendants charging anything ngainst the Mayor thal was not weil founded? [f Mr. Wood advised the wit- nest, Mr. Waring, inthe Grand Jury room, he (Mr. Brady) axcerted that it was against the constitution and the law of the land; and if he expected to get a decent petty jury in New York to sanction such a course, he would tin diss) pointment ns deep as his malice, Mr. Whiting, on behalf of his client, presented an af- vavit of Mr. bykeman, similar to the others, as to the re: idence of the foreman of the Grand Jury. ‘The District Attorney said that in regard to the case of Mr. Councilman Cooper, which had been opened on Suturday, the jaw says that the Grand Jury may appoint ove of their body to act ax Secretary, and that the minutes sball be delivered to the District Attorney, if the Grand Jury shall so direct. He (the Listriet Attorney) vndersiood that the Grand Jury, in this case, had dt rected the contrary. Not obtaining the minutes of the Grand Jury. be would read another affidavit of Peter Valm, made in July last, previous to the one read in this care on Fricay Inst. Mr. Hull then read the affidavit, in which leter Fulm said, in July jast, that two days after his petition was presented, he went to the Board of Coun- cilmen, and asked Mr. Cooper if be could not get his con- trnct annulled. Croper said he could not talk to him on the subject, but pointed to a man with red whiskers and enveloped tn a cloak; Palm spoke to that man, who told him that it would require $co0 to get it through the Councilmen, ‘the affidavit of Mayor Wood, read by the District At- torney, states that he was summoued before the Grand Jury a6 a witness; that he had no communication with theta except asa witness, and that that was the only ume he was brought before them; that no questions were avked ip reference to the Board of Councilnen, and that the questions were only in reference to one member of the Beard of Aldermen. The affidavit was sworn to this roorntng—Oetober 8, 1855—and sete out also that in July lait Veter Valm cume belore the Mayor and made the wo- curations contaized in bis affidavit of July last, The Distriet Attorney said that this shows that Mr. Yolm makes an affidavit in Joly which conflicts with the ef'devit made by him in October, It would be the very heighth of injustice, in the absence of other testimony, to hold an inéfetinent on wueh against any roan, He (the Listrict Attorney) bad therefore simply to call upon the Court toenter a nolle prosequi in the ease of Mr. Cooper. He was satisfied, from the affidavits in the case, that the tables should be turned—-that Palm had not The District Attorney, having looked at them, said: In five of those indictments handed to the Court [ move that they be sent to the Court of General Sessions, in order that they may be disposed of, as they relate to par- ties under arrest. hold ia my hands two other indict- ments and request that bench warrants may be lasued for the arrest of the parties. The Court—Do you retain thore two for trial in this Court # District Attorney—The party is not under arre:t, and no motion can yet be made but for the bench warrant. ‘The Court—Let the five cases be aent to the Sessions and take your order for a bench warrant Application having been made to the Court by the re- porters to be permitted to see the indictments, his Honor, at a subsequent period of the morning, said:— ‘There may have been a seeming suppression in regard to the indictments found by the Grand Juy, fete verbaps, proper in order to remove any misapprehension in behalf of all parties who are anxious upon that sub- Jeot to state that there is an express provision in the sta- tute in these words:— Indictments found by the Grind Jury shall be presented by their foreman in their presence to the Court, and there be filed and remain as public records; bat such as are found aga'nst any peracn for a felony, not being in actual continement, shall open to the inspection of any person, except th trict Attorney, until the defendants therein respectively shall have been arrested.’ ‘That is the reason why the Court declined to interfere betwen any parties to allow these indictments to be inspected. All doubt was soon removed by Judge Stewart, (tho City Judge) entering Court and giving ball on two indict- ments; one charges bribery in accepting a gift of 8500 from Margaret M. Connelly on the promise that his action should be given in order that an indictment found against ‘Wm, Cosgrave should be ended by a nolle prosezui. The other indictwent is for « conspirae, with police- rles Raphael man named Elder to delay the trial of © in the Court of Sessions. Ulyses D. French, the Commissioner of Jurors, became Judge Stewart's bail ia both cases—in the former for 00, and the latter, the alleged conspiracy, for $1,000. THE INDICTED ALDERMEN—A NOLLE PROSEQUI EN- TERED IN THE CASE OF COUNCILMAN COOPER—THE MOTION TO QUASH THE INDICTMENT AGAINST AL- DESMAN HERRICK DENIED. ‘The Judge—In the case of Mr. Cooper, are counsel ready to proceed ? Counsel—I ask the District Attorney if he is prepared to produce the minutes of the Grand Jury? and if #0, does he intend to enter a nelle provqui ? ‘The District Attorney suggested that it was better to wait until Mr, Whitiog arrived in court. In the medn- time, Mr. Brady could go on with his moti Mr. Brady then said that he would move to quash the indictments against Councilmen Wandel! and Healey; and | (nly attempted to bribe one member of Common ouncil, bi . He mowul, therefore, that a nolle also, he moved, on behalf of Anson Herrick, Allerman, | C0UDCi, but several. He mower, t " against whem there are two indictments. Mr. B, read | Post be entered as regards Mr. Cooper. Mr. Whiting would prefer that the indictment be quashed, . lhe District Attorney submitted that a nolle on an indictnent is a more lasting and solid act, use when an indictment is qaashed it does not prevent a new one being found; but when @ noile prosequi is entered by on officer of the Court, it not only concludes that indict- ment, but any other that may be formed on the same subject matter, ‘The nolle proaequi was then entered. The Distrlet Attorney then replied to Mr, Brady's ar- gument in the cases of Aldern Herrick and others. He contended that it was the peculiar province of the Grand Jury to find indictments egainst any person in the com munily; that their proceedings were necessarily secret, and that the Court hac no jurisdiction over them. The learned counsel had assumed certain proesedings to have cccurred in the jury room, which he was not capable of proving, and which certainly eculd not be advanced «san argument to quash an indictment. The fact of Mayor Wood having a feeling against the defendants—his being in the jury room examining witneases—could not tnva- licate the finding of the Grand Jury, who were sworn to discharge their duty between themselves and the people. Judge Roonevelt said—It {» well understo x! that there are two modes in which complaints are presented to a court and Jury, In civil suits between two individuals, the complaint requires nothing but the signature of the party. or bis euby compelling the defendant to an swer, and then the Code, even as it now stands, enacts that the con plaint need not be eworn to. The signature of the attorney alone would call upon the other fend himeelf. Then what are eviled criminal at is, Kult: where the people asa body protest, or the plaintiffin the complaint ean be py fel involving an acevsation ef felony, unless that complaint is endorsed by a body of men called the ‘Grand Jury,” of whom at leas twelve must unite, endorsed with @ declaration up. on the back of it that it is @true bill, And that decla- ration, however, it muat be borse in mind, although made by a body called « Jury, fs not inthe oye of the low—nlthongt semetimes misapprebended by those who ace not lawyerr—a verdict. It does not of necessity im- ply that the accusation iy true, It implies nothing more the notice ot motion. The District Attorney objected to the reading of an affidavit of Alderman Herrick, of which he had been served with a co] He objected to the matter, as irrela- vont, impertinent and scandaloua. Mr. Prady took the responsibility of the contents of the affidavit on himself, without reference to any control ‘man Herrick over him, and he denied the Court to prevent him reading the document in question, He professed to know the law of the case, and to anticipate the argumenta that can be advanced by his learned friend. He proposed to read an affidavit ot a manholding a high official station, in order to shield him trom the imputations made against him. I contend that the effidavit is not impertinent or scandalous, but that it is pertinent and relevant. If I be denied the privilegs of reading this affidavit, just as it stands here, I shall not proceed one a, forther in this business. The affidavit ftates that the indictment was found by the Grand Jury, by the influence of a personal foe of Alderman It rick, who promised his protection and {utluence ta a wit- ness on whose testimony the ind! nt was found, and thatthe Grand Jury permitted him to be present, and read statutes to them. District Attorney—Does the learned gentleman mean to say that Iam the personal foe of Alderman Herrick ¢ Mr. Brady—I mean Fernando Wood, and that heis the personal foe of my client. ‘The Court having looked over the affidavit, said that it was quite clear that it contains matter that ix irrele- vant, yet there would be no olject attained in preventing it being read. District Attorney—No doubt it will be published, but I desire to save the people’s time by not having it read in Court. Mr. Rrady did not anderstand what the learned gentle- mon meant by saving the people's time. He did not be- lieve that shielling a citizen and a public officer from an- deserved odium was spending the public time; bat if bis learned friend, Mr. Hall, had any other matters to attend to besides listening to him, he would consent to his leav- ing Court. he Distriet Attorney could have no more agreeable = duty.

Now, it will be borne in mind, that in order to prevent delays in criminal cases, the Legislature have provided that you shall not even go to trial upon a dilatory plea, unless first verified by affidavit, That veri- fication would not decide the truth or falsity of the plea but you shall not go to tifal before a jury, if it be au issue of fact, without such verification, even if it wero a plea in abatement. The truth mast be proved by afli- duvit or by some other evidence, That would be another step in these criminal proceedings. It has been fre- quently said by counsel for the accused, that if there were any detect on the tace of the indictment, it might be demurred to. There are two grounda upon which this mo- tion proceeds—one is Lrregularity and the conduct of the Grand Jury in allowing certain matters to take place before them; and the other ix the alleged ille- gaily in the composition of the Grand Jury itself. ‘¢ ure bound to presumefthat the Grand Jury were act- ing under oath, and recording to law; and that if Mayor Wood was there he was present aa a witness, xubpened the Grard Jury, and if so he was lawfully there. Jury saw fit to have present before them two or more Wilnesses at atime, it was for thom to do #o or not, as in their judgment they deemed necessary to the ends of justice, it was perfectly competent for the Grand Jury to call upon any witness to testify. The learned Ji was of opinion that no satisfactory evidence had been ad- duced by the defendants to prove that Mr. Carter, the forerat, was not a resident of this city. The Grand Jury was a body composed of the mont respectable among our citizens, and it was to be presumed that no mo- tive could influence them to find bills of indictment Against parties upon exparte or unsatisfactory textimony. © conclusion of the Court, therefore, was, that there Was not sufficient evidence to overthrow all the resumptions arising out of the siftings which the Grand jury had already made. Ifhe were right in thia conelu- sien the motion to quash the indictment must be denied, He took this course more readily from the circumstance that it did not, inany manner, affect the real merita of the case. Should, however, upon a more critical examl- nation of the sections, his mind be Jed to a different con- clusion, he would let the counsel for the defendants have the benefit of it, Mr. Brady asked when would the District Attorney call on the defendant to pee District Attorney-—I will call upon him now. Mr. Brady—We will plead to-morrow morning, at the opening of the Court. J istrict Attorney—What will your plea bo? Mr. Brady—We do not say what our plea will be, but we will put it in to-morrow morning. ‘The Judre—Vory well, gentlemen; lot the Court be ad Journed till the urual hour, Tuesday morning.

Recorder Smith. Yesterday morning there was an immense concourse of people assembled at the Court of Gonerai Sesstous, con- sisting of lawyers, merchants, judges and citizens, who were there in expectation of an exciting time, in conse- quence of the rumors touching the Indictment of Judge Stuart, who occupies the bench of this Court during thia term. "Inasmuch ax Recorder Smith was ill, it was ex- pected and reported that Mayor Wood would appear upon the bench; but this functionary did not make his a ance, his right to do xo being very questionable. 1m this state of affairs, Judge Stuart declining to come upon the bench, Kecorder Smith, although just out of a wick bed took his plase, and appeared upon the bench at the usual hour. Order being gained, the Clerk of the-Court called the roll of the Grand Jurors, upon which Recorder Smith instructed these Jurors to appear in Court next Monday ain, their services not being required at the present time, ‘there being one Grand Jury already 1a session, In the Oyer and ferminer, and it being yet undecided whether two Grand Juries can sit at the ‘same time in one county.
