The witnesses who ‘eatified were Captains Carpenter, Dow- ling, Norria and Judge kdmonds, ibe investigation com- nence} with the exemination of Captain Carpenter, who testified ws follows:—I amo pblice captain of the Fifth district; the Chief of Potice hae not visited our station house curing the last year; there are upwards of forty regular hcuses of prostitution im my district; there is no specific regulation with regard to breaking up these houses; some of the more disorderly ones have been bro- ken up; complaint: are not very oftem made by the citt- zens of thet vicinity; I find it best to get them to bring me & petition +igned by themselves, present the petition to mogistrate, make an affidavit of the facts, and then break up the house; this] have fuund the most eff ctual way; know of no solicy shops in my district, but suppose there. noe some; this is the most difficult charge Coavie upen; there are not many gambliag houses to my kavw- ledge in my distiict; Lkaow of ouly two, and those only by rupporith n; I bave bad a s0xplafot made to me by a countrymen who lost his money in such « place, our to- structions with regard to arresting intoxicated persoas are itway?, in case of any * violatt su of pulic, ring in ibe rtreet can bardly by called ng nGainat parsongers Ia tay stroot ear 'y is: we receive vonsideravle srolen property at our ftation house, and proceed precisely as tae o:her eap- tains do in such cases; I don’t think it would make any difference if the policemen were oppose1 to houses of oxtiution; [have known of a compliint sous thee or ur years ayo of @ per-on agalast Cin iere'la Marshall; 1 have never heard of avy policoman reveiviog money or Presents from the keepers of houses of prostitutd in, 66- yoral ot these honsew have been broxea up daring the Inst year; I wish to tate ‘hat the keapers of these tones know the police laws very well; they know that a po le- man can be broken for «uch offences, and ( have known of on instance of such bribery; { am conviuced that the time of the Recordar and City Juige is to» mach occupied to discharge their duty fully; when a police man is charged wit an offence he is iofirmed of the :0m- pluiot and alowed to put in an answer, and caa be trled either by the Mayor or Police Commis=i ners; I think this u great sbuse; the policeman knowing that he is summon. ed by order of the c mmisatoners, is afra'd to let thea try ft, and submits his case to the Mayor; ta gutng be'oe the Msyor, he hus no opportunity of cross exealning his accuser; ‘he police nan ses a copy of the complaint at the Coser office, signed and sworn to by the com- plat un Coe Dovliog. of the Sixth police distri:t, aworn, testified as foilows:— ‘the Chief of P has not visited my station house thie year; the only inspection it had wax'® sanitary one; Ihave from fifty to sixty houses of prostitudm in my istrict; I 1eport them regularly every six months; we have made several of them vacate the p emi-es; some 1¥0 or three were sent to the Island; they rather @ lov er grade ot houses; they we: ibose remaining; I bave known Teints to be complained of; t strate touk bail ia each; the complaints were je at the han of Mr. Pease, Lhave cever known avy of them to oe convicted by the police courts, but there have been some by the Sessions; I recently guve the District Attorney « list of all the houses of assignation prostitution, gaming houses and polisy shops; I got the men to make thelr re- ports to me; | have made them every six months to tae Chef of Police; [have never taken‘agy steps to have the re twelve or fuurte:n houses of prostitution in Contre stent; seven or eight in Elm street; cne in Manhattan place; three in Luane street; Lhave known the police to take thirteen gold w:tches out of a house in Manhattan » 1850; I have them in my possession: I was ordered by Justice Brenoan for an owner, but 1 did not find one; I have known a party ‘to be locked up in a station house not jonger than sixtesn or eghteen hours before a commitinen: from n madi. trate; the law requires that he should be conveyed ts the moginuae the morzing atter bia arrest; | have never kucw money to pass between the officers aud lawyers in such casts; I have never known offioura to receive money fr m the keepers of bro hel houses, or trom others for electineesing purposes; officera have allowed them- telves to be arsested tor electi neering purposes; tuere is a 1aw forbiddirg policemen to take au interest in politica, Mr. Crosby—="an you repeat the order im regard to pelicemen not belonglog to political o gauiza ions?

I yielded and drew the bilfuorordingly. My effort was to bal sag the department on the plan «fthe New York Hosvi al, which is one of our most valu- able public charf'ies, and is under the government of @ set of retired gentlemen, who have wealth and character and leisure, and who nave managed i+ for years with ihe mee commendable fideilty and to the entire satisfaction of the public. I, there%re, proposed ten governors to be named in the bil—fve fiom each of the exts aarties—o hold fr iife ard Ubemeelyves to fill all vacancies as they shud occur, We accordingiy named ten gentlemen whose cteracter would have Geen a auflicieat gaaranty. Our plan was only in pact adopted by the Leigislatare. Some of the nawes we proposed wore stricken off and others subsiituted, and it was provided that vaciacios ip the Board of Governors should be supplied oy @ sort ot an eec ion, wuich bas the strange apomaly the: h« wao is vod avmingt by the majority ix sure to be elected. Hence it has been, I suppose, thas the Tea Governor bila has proved a failure, vo far at leant ax the dewt-et re- forwatim in the prison department. They hays dooe something towaids it; they have erected a workaou which prvires for a cins: ification of prisoners—the great emedy, as 1 ur derstand it, for most of t xe evils of our po- nitentiary system—but have not, so far as I can leara, currien it out practically. he G: vernors also hold the committing magistrates to a stiietcomptiauce with the requirements of the law as to commitment, thelr doing 49 subjected the magis- trates and thelr clerk# to much additional labor. To get rid of thet, « law was ontained foom the Logtsla- ture, extreordinary in its character, but quite harmiese wus title, Itwaseudled ‘An aot requiring the police Justions in the city of New York to file records of all con- victions of vegrancy.’? Thin bill was Introduced “on no- tice’ in the Atsembly, March, 29, 1853, aad at once ordered to mw thid veading. It was reportet the next day as correctly engrossed, and passed the same cay, amid a great number of other bill, and on the 11th of Aprill passed the Senate, with: out apparently sitracting any more scrutlay than in the otver house. The Leg'slature evidenvly thought they were merely requiring the magistrates to file records of couvictions; but that they were already re- quired to do, ana the real effect of the uct way t> change the form of the record, and thus deprive all persons oon- Victed of vagrancy of all posible chance of having their convic'ionn reversed by aay other court, if the magis- trates only pleared to make out the papers right in the first imstance, The rule of law which governed them before this act was, that “the pr oeeedingy must be, ax nearly as possible, according to the courve of the trials before juries at com- mon Ia*. The party accused must be summoned; there must be a specific charge agsinst him, and be must have time and opportunity of being heard In his defence. The witnes-oe oguinst him wust all be on oath, agreeable to the rues of law, and reduced to writing, or at least so much ar ia regs to the convic fon; there ought to be # ree rd of it, in which so much of the testimony must be set forth a2 will bring the offenter unier the law, and evince that we justices have nat ex:eeded the powers given them by the law.’’ Ererrstiog. to saprest ® -oa- viction should appear on the conviction itself, aad its va- lidity rust be 6 1 by what appears on the face of it, a d not by reterence to matters :‘dehors”” or out of it 'All this wan chaoged by the law of 186%, and the parties connected had a review ooly by appealing to the record. Now, there particulars being disp nsed with {a the re- cora by this +tatute, there is, virtually, no review. The writ ot habeas eorpus allows an cxawinstion only of the formalities of “he record and the commitment, and if they com ly with the forms prescribed the coavicted vagravt has po remedy, but is entirely at the mercy of thr committing magistrate, In England, whence we ob- tained our law a# to “summary convictions,” the strictness of the record has been, ia some instances, dis- pensed wih, but never without allowing the party con Vicied sm appeal to the Sersions, thus substitutiog that course for the King» bench, in’ reviewing this cliss of criminal coves.
