8 (NOICTMENT AGAINST ALDERMAN HERRICK. Pubpenaing of the Presiding Judge and Em- pannelling of 2 Jury Under Difficulties. COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER. Before Hon. Judge Roosevelt. Monpar, Oct. 22.—The trial of Alderman Auson Her- Eick, indicted for having received a bribe of $100 in con- nection with his official duties, having been Axed for this morning, the court room was uncomfortably crowded With witnesses, Jurors and citizens, desirous of being present at the proceedings. Mr. Hall applied to the Court for an attachment against Edmond Waring, an important witness, who was sub- pornaed to appear, but who was not in attendance. Mr. Hall stated that be could not proceed in the case without fhe testimony of that witness. He thought, however, tuat he would be here by-and-bye, and that they might go on and empannel a jury. The attachment was granted, Mr, Brady wished to know whether the District Attor- ney was ready, or not, to proceed, Mr. Hall was at liberty to sit here and wait for the wit- ness to be attached. The Judge intimated that it was better to go on with some one of the cases. Mr. Hall—The first step will be to empannel a jury in the case of The People vs. Herrick. Mr, Brady=We are ready for trial, Your Honor has been subpenaed as a witness here for the accused, and it is certainly our intention to examine your Honor, from the conviction that the proper dofence of Alderman Her- Tick will depend upon the eliciting of certain facts within your knowledge. If the District Attorney requires an affidavit of the materiality of your Honor’s testimony we hhave that affidavit and are 1 to read it. I mention this to the District Attorney, that he may, if he deems Move to have the case tried before another . The defence iv this case will reach parties high ‘in authority in this city, whom we will accuse of at- tempts to sacrifice us for their ends. To put the thing in such a shape as that there may be no doubt about it, I will read the affidavit of Mr. Herrick. Sudge Roosevelt—What is your suggestion, sir? Mr. Brady—It is that yout Honor should not try this case, Judge Roosevelt—State your reasons, sir. Mr. Brady—I will reat the affidavit, Mr. Brady thereupon read the atlidavit of Mr. Herrick, stating that J.J. Roosevelt would be « material witness for him in the trial of the cause. Mr, Hall was very happy to learn, on Saturday, that his Honor had beea subpa:uued as a witness for the de- fence, and hoped all the witnesses for the defence would be as little objectionable. it was the first time, however, he had ever heard or read of a counsel objecting to his pwn witness being a judge or a juror in a case. ‘He (Mr. Hall) was familiar with all the circumstances of the ease, and waa sure that his Honor’s testimony could not be in the slightest degree televant, If he had the least idea that his Honor’s testimony could possibly be relevant, he would adopt the suggestion of the coun- gel; but he knew no reason why his Honor should with- Gxaw from the trial of the case. Mr. Brady was proveeding to argue the point, but was * interrupted by Judge Roosevelt, who thought it unnecessary to argue the point. He had received the subpoena on Saturda: last, and could conjecture what the reason of serving it on him was. But he knew nothing of the merits of the case, and if in the course of the trial there should appear to be anything which would render it improper for to try it, it might be breken off by the withdrawal of a juror. Mr. Brady asked why Le should not be allowed to state ‘the reasons of his sexpee ition, Judge Roosevelt had no desire to prevent the counsel Stating his views. Mr. had certainly adopted the most considerate and delicate way of guining his point, and if anything Gisagreeable arose out of it, he was not responsible there- for. He had advised his client chat the testimony of the presiding Judge may be very material to his defence; and f, im view of that, bis Honor conceived there was no ob- Jection to his going on and hearing the case, it might Proceed. It might be, however, something new and ille- gal for bis Honor to decide on the admissibility of his ‘own testimony. ‘The Judge ordered the trial to proceed. At the Suggestion of Mr. Hall, the tolding doors of the Court of Sessions were then thrown open, to accommodate ‘dhe large pumbcr of persons who thronged the court room, ; The Clerk then proveeded to cull the absentees on the jury list. Mr. Brady destred it to be noted by lis Honor that the motion which he had made was denied, and to that he excepted. The following jurors answered to their names, and were sworn without challenge. Owen. ty, Ww. D. Chase. Jchn M. Cooney was challenged for principal cause, and examined touching his competency to act as a juror. He hada » paral knowledge of the charge made; knew the ame of the witness, bu’ formed no opinion as to the jilt or innocence of the accu-ed. Mr. Brady withdrew hie challenge for principal cause, pod for favor; ani the (wo jurors already Bworn as triers. He (Mr. Cooney) resided in Fourth avenue and Twenty- shth street; first read of the matter some weeks since. . Do you know of a pulltical party in this city usa- ge fees as the reform party ¢ itness—I cannot say positively that I do; he did not know of any person connected with that party; had heard of the charge against Herrick spoken of in society; the conversations which took place on the subject had produced no prejudice in his mind; had no impression about the matter; had not heard the District Attorney argue the otner day that the fact of aman being indicted was unexplained evidence against him; Mr. Hall sug- sted that it would have been « difficult thing for him; ad no connection with any of the persons who set them: selves up as reformers Mr. Brady When withdrew bis challenge for favor and Challenged the juror peremptorily. John H, James was called and answered; he was chal- Jenged for principal cause and examined touching his competency to act as an indifferent juror, He had heard or read very little about the case; did not know particularly what Alderman Herrick was aid not Know personally either Alderman Herrick or Fernando Wood; liad not formed or expressed any opinion touching the guilt or innocence of Herrick, and had no opinion on that subject; thought he had no impression on his mind in the matter, and had told no friend in conversation what he thought of the merits of the case; had heard no citizen express particularly his opinion as tb the gullt or innocence of the accused, or in reference to the indictments recently found; had heard no talk about the propriety of convicting an Alderman or two for the good of society; had no more dis- position to see an Aldériman convicted than any other man; had not said that it was about time some of these officials should be punished; The Judge overruled the challenge for principal cause, and the juror was then challenged for favor. He knew by reputation, Mr. Herrick, 8 the Editor of a Sunday ‘newspaper; hardly ever read the Aflas— not certainly fr a year; thinks he read no newspaper sowmenting on the course of Alderman Herrick; had no ‘Conscientious prejucices against the publisher of a Sun- day newspaper. \¢ triers found the eaten not true; and Mr. James as then challenged peremptorily. * hn Brissell was iaxt = 4 tae sage to his mame.

Mr. Hall stated that it had been su; to him that this juror might stand aside and he had no objection. Judge Roosevelt stated that where the District Attor. ney made no objection, the tause should stand aside, jarer challenged for principal wut without setting any pre- t to ther cases.

Judge Roorevelt did not consider the charge for prin- cipal cause, sustained. He suggested to the District At- tomey whether it would not be belter to let the juror stand aside, and so guard against any ulterior excep- ion. ‘Mr. Hall replied that there cculd rest no exception to his Horor’s decision on a challenge for principal cause. Judge Roozevelt-—Then my impression is that this is not a cuse for principal cause. é Mr. Whitiug—Then we except to the decision of the court. Judge Roosevelt—You can virtually appeal now from the Court to the triers, as a challenge for favor. ‘The challenge thon went to the triers for favor. ‘To Mr. Hall——Has formed no opininn as to the guilt or innocence of Alderman Herrick on this charge; does no‘ think he has an impression on that subject, or that he bas had; does not remember with what he is charged, ax he has no knowledge of this particular case. ‘To Mr. Whiting—His impression is that Alderman Her- rick was charged with taking a brébe; knew he was here to be tried on that indictment; did not know what he was charged with receiving the bribe for; does not know that he was charged with receiving a bribe of $100 for his in- fluence in the Common Council; supposes he had at the time he read the account an impression as to Alderman Her- rick’s guilt or innocence in receiving that bribe; has seen nothing to remove that impression; thinks it would re- quire some evidence to remove that impression. To Mr, Hatl—That impression is as to the guilt or inno- cence of Alderman Herrick in taking that bribe, Mr, Brady asked the Court tocharge the triers as mat- ter of Jaw, that on this evicence the challenge is sus- tained.

Green sworn a8 a juror, withdrawn, and Mr. Jobn J. looked over the published ac- counts of the action of the Grand Jury; the fact of the Grand Jury finding a bill would form an i on hie mind, but he would not say whether he was guilty or innocent till he heard the evidence; the simple fact of ‘an indictment would naturally form an im ion, but not such an impression as would prevent a proper verdict. To the Court—The impression ia not so sti but that he would go according to the evitence; it Is of that character that the burden of proof of innocence ought to be thrown on the accused.

He bad once ‘conversed with fie itheusnd in the Ninth ward; the question of the guilt or innocence of the indicted alderman was pot to his recollection discussed at all, he alao talked with Alderman Stebbins, of Brooklyn, os to the shame of these indictments; that conversation left no impression on his mird unfavorable to these men; would require that Alderman Herrick him that be was innocent before that other impression would be removed. ‘To Mr, Hall_—His immreasion was that every man should ‘be presumed innocent til) he is found guilty. the conver- n with Alderman Stebbins was a general thing as to the ahame to the city of having these indictments pre- ‘sent The matter was submitted to the triers, who held the challenge to be not true.

Carpenter read an account of the transaction; formed no opinion; there may bave been an impression similar to that aricing from the reading of any other ar- ticle of news. He could not say that his mind was, or was not, perfectly free from impression as to the nilt or innocence of Alderman Herrick; it had frequent- y been the subject of conversation in his yrevence but that bad left no impression upon his mind; he could tell upon evidence whether a peron is guilty or not.

After dis- nf of persons charged wih erlmes of various kinds, the Mistriet Attorney calied the attention of the Grand Jury to alle. gations of fraud and corruption on the part ot pubiie officers Connected with the city government, Many witneeses have been examined, who ré uctanily answered, and many have becn personally summoned, but have refused to obey the or- ders of the court, Sufficient testimony has, however, been obtained toenable the Grand Jury to conclude that corruption prevails tom great extent in various departments of our city government. Here a portion of the presentment, which was the gist of the whole documen'—being the nawes of the parties indicted or resented—was suppressed by the District Attorney, it being, E his judgment, not proper (o make this fact public.

The Police Committec had a tranquil and solenn ses- sion to-day, with the folowing deplorable result for Mr. Matsell, and the humiliation unto sackcloth and ashes for the noble population of New York, that a hign publio officer could twice refuse to xurrencer the public records of a Court which its Clerk had kindly in his hands, with his pledge to return it on the aubssquent dawn, but which was finaly wrenched from his tremulous and guilty grasp only through the fim intereesaion of the highert jegal talent in our city. What degradation are we next to expect from Mr, Matsell ! © tempora! © mores? ‘Tam moesto et dolores? Greek, under English, is wy favorite lunguage, andI therefore seldom use Latin : although I have a profound regurd for some of the old Latin Romans, and espe: for Cicero and Hortensius. But I have let off so mucl English recently, I thought I would try my handat Latin. And it is proper here to remark, without egotism, that “0, tempora! O mores 1” is from Cicero's pailippic against the villain Cataline, (a would-be Roman police- an) and that Tum moesé et dolores, ie from my own rain. At a meeting of the Police Committee on Monday af- ternoon, Oct. 22—Alderman Briggs ond ©. H. Tucker being present—Mr. Benjamin H.

Alderman Brigge—How did you regain dion of it? Mir. Jarvis—I called for it, and he stated that he had had no opportunity of showing it to Mr. Brady, his coun- sel, and asked me to let him bave it a little longer. The second time J called he said that it was at his house. I theng told him it must be produced, and I subse- quently requested Mr. Brady to get it, "who obtained it for me.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN. COMMUNICATION FROM ‘THE CITY LXBPHCTOR. A communication was received from Thomas K. Down- ing, Cty Inspector, in relation to the presentment offered by the Grand Jury, on Saturday, charging him with offi- cial corruption, He says:— Ihave not been able to ascertain on what evidence such presentacent was found, nor have I yet been able to have access to the presentment, 40 as to find out what ts’ the official corruption imputed to me or the department, But consciousas tam of my own integrity in everything connected with my official conduct, and of my entire in- nocence of these charges, and believing that it is demand- ed by every consideration of public justice that their truth or falsehood should be at once ‘ascertained, I leave to request of the Board of Aldermen, a prompt be, full investigation of all the affairs of the City Inspector, ‘Uhis wae ordered on the minutes.

Adjourned to Thursday. BOARD OF COUNCILMEN. This Board assembled yesterday afternoon at their chambers in the City Hall, the President of the Board, D. D. Conover, in the chair. The minutes of the last meet- ing were read and approved. Petitions and resolutions were first in order, but none of any importance were offered. The next business was the third reading of bills, but all that were read and adopted were in reterence to grading and sewering streets, all of which have been noticed in the Hexatp before, except the following, which gave rise to some debate :— Report of Committee on Law Department relative to stage licenses granted by the Mayor to the Madison ave- nue stage line. Referred October 1. Upon voting upon this report it was lost. A motion was immediately made to reconsider, when the i of the report of the Committee on Law Department was called for, The committee say in this report that they believe the Mayor had no power to grant the ten ad- ditional licenses, and recommend the adoption of the following resolution :— ‘a eat ¢ licenses see ages et Resolved, That the ten additions! to the yy de- his Honor, since the fourth day of pert A. Madison Avenue Stage Line, be, and the same are hereb; clared null and void. The motion to reconsider this report was finally car- ried, and the report them adopted—31 voting in the affirmative and 8 in the negetive. Afier some further unimportant business, the Board adjourned till the first Monday in November next. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Some few bills were ordered to be paid and others were referred to the committeos. ‘TIE THIRD AVENUE RAILROAD ASSESSMENT. ‘The report of the Committee on Annual Taxes, reducing the appraisement of the Third Avenue Railroad from eleven bundred and seventy thousand dollars to three hundred and seventy thousand dollars, was called up by Supervisor Kelly, who moved its adoption. Ald. Voorms moved, as an amendment, that, the re- duction be to $570,000, it being too great a jump from $1170,000 to $570,000. Supervisor Wm. Tucker thought even the sum named in the amendment too small, but he would vote for it in preference to the amount recommended in the report. Supervisor Ketty advocated the adoption of the report of the committee, who had fally and carefully examined the whole matter. The Recorpen had some doubt if, under the statute, the Board had the right to interfere, as the law said that unless exception was taken to the assessment within two aye after it was made, it should be taken as conclusive. Sook he amendment of Supervisor Voorhis was put and Supervisor Ery moved ss an amendment that the as- esament be reduced to $470,000. Lost, by a vote of 11 0 7. On the question of the adoption of the report of the committee, there appeared 10 in the affirmative, and 9 in the negative. The report was therefore adopted. Adjourned to Monday next, at 4 o'clock.
