B. Litcht olga iggy all that the committee had power to do was to investi- gate the abuses of the ferry. Judge Thomson said the witness had excused the com- pany for the want of accommodations on the plea that the ferry did pot pay, and he thought therefore the evidence was relevant. Mr. Oakey explained that the committee were of opinion that the ferries ought to be run well and properly, whether it paid the company or not. A great deal of discussion here ensued between Judge Thomson and Mr. Huntley, the counsel for the com- pany, as to which side had wasted most time, ending in a threat on the part of the former that, if the examina- tuon were not conducted in a diferent manner, he would withdraw, Mr. Oakey sald that the evdience was to be taken by question and answer simply, and that there must bea stop to all oratorical display. Mr. Wall continued—Upon the Division Avenue line there was for a long time only one boat; now there was one boat at night, and two boats in the day; witness had recetved many complaints from his son Charles, who was 8 cordage manufacturer, on Long Island, about the ferries; but he was a natural grumbier, and he would complain about anything; the stock of ‘the ferry com- pany was sold three or four months ago at 110; did not know that any bad been sold at 180.
