Jose 26.—Damicl D. Conover vt, Chas. Turner.—The tes timony in this case having been closed on Thursday, Mr. Field, counsel for Mr. Conover, proceeded tosum up. Ho commenced by raying —The cireumetances of this caso into which your Homor feli # your duty, under the statute, to inquire, are not dithicult to perceive, notwithstanding tha contradictory nature of tne testimony and the positivencr with which some of the witnersea have sworn. On the 32tb of thie month Mr. Conover received from the Gov- ernor—iho highest executive officer of the Siate-s com: mission to full the office of Street Commimioner, the vacancy baving been occasioned by the death of Mr ‘Taylor, who had been elected by the people. The office was vacant; there was ne one in possession on whom Mr Conover could serve any papers, aod he proceeded ty execute bm officia) bonds, to take his official oath, and enter upon the duties of his office. His oath of office was mado before the Recorder, and was fled in the Mayor’s office, with one of the Mayor's cierke; the bonds were executed by unexceptional euretiee, and it was therefore the Mayor's duty under the jaw of ihe State, to have approved of thoxe Donde if the suretics were -aeceptadio; but tha functionary shut bimeelf up in his office, and would not see Mr. Conover, though be knew of his appontment as. early a8 12 o’clock ; the Mayor told Turner to keep possession of the citice of Street Commissioner, and to let no one into it ant) the appointment was made by bi neeif and the Board of Aldermen. The Mayor swears that be saw po numan being in hie oifice at that time bat the Chief of Police; yet other witnesses sweer that ia sie the Mayor ne fartively out of hin private »oom while Conover was the outer ottive; the or, however, would not see Conover, and be then lef Although the Mayor denies it, it 1g nevertheless true that Conover was there. Mr. Cono ver shen went to the office of the Commissioner, and stood at a desk during the whole day, claiming to be Street Commissioner, with not a singie clerk dispeting bis autho ry, except lr. Turner. remained there until 4 o’clock, When be was turned out by a mob—by whose or- ders was ® point of dispute, bat i: was not a point of dis- pote onder the evidence. Captain Bepnet: sweare that he did {t on bis own suthority, and not by directions of the Mayor or Sheriff; but this is denied by Mr Oonover, who arecerts that Bennett profesred to be bis friead, apd unat what he did was done unwillingly and by the guthority of the Mayor. The next morning Mr. Conover wat to the oftice of the 8! reet Commizeioner again, claiming to porform the duties of that office, unul be was again removed violence, and by nothing ¢ise but violence: the City Hall was besieged that day with an asremblage of bungry ex- pectante. e Mayor kept sion of the Cnty Hall, aided by the Aldermen, with Wilson and Clency ai their ‘head; and finally we find Mr. Devlin enoorted to the aitice ef Street Commissioner by the police, and he takas possession of the room; and possession got by violence is put up in ‘answer to our claim to the office under the appointment of the bighest executive officer im the State. & penanien got by violence can never be Jegally maintamed. Tho Sheriff and the Deputy say they never took possession of the bookr and papers of the office, nor lent them to Deviin, thovgb tn his affidavit he (Devlin) swears that tho Sheritl held possession of the beoks, papers and furriture of the oilice under @ levy, that the judgments etill remain unsatia- fied, that the jevy stil] continues, and the books, Ac ,are ip the lawfal custody of the Sheriff, who permits hi (Devlin) to uee the same as Street ioner im the discharge of the duties of his office, Let us see what Mr. Déviin and bis advisere—hbe did pot mean bis legal adricers—have done; instead of appealing te the law, they go with an escort of 500 men with clubs, aud tak of this office, and then Mr. Devlin turns round and eaye, “ Ob, Mr. Conover, you must seek tbe law.’’ Mr. Field now proceeded to the law of tho oase, and first contended that Mr. Copover has been fay spect to perform the duties of the office loaer: that the consti ation of the Sta‘e bas enjoined npon probaly od for the of vacaocios, and that ¢ Mayor and Alaermen bay the power. ‘the Logis.
