SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. ‘fhe Fernando Wood Lease Case on Appeal= The Order Appealed from Affirmed Without Argument. Before Judges Barnard, Sutherland and Cardozo, The Mayor, éc., Appellants, vs, Fernando Wood, Respondent.—This was an appeal from the order of Judge Cardozo made at the special term framing issues in this suit for trial before a jury. The suit, it will be remembered, was brought to set aside the leases made between the Mayor and Commonaity of New York and the defendant Wood, by which the city hired the defendant’s premises, Nos, 115 and 117 Nassau street, for a period of ten years at $18,000 per annum. Upon the issues framed by the court at special term the case came up for trial before a jury recently, and the Corporation declined to appear on the ground that the issues as framed by the court were not those raised by the pleadings. Yesterday morn- ing Mr. O'Gorman appeared in court and stated that he was not prepared to proceed with the case, as Mr. LT. Williams, who had the principal charge of the case on behalf of the city, was very ill and wholly unable to argue the case, and that he (Mr. O'Gorman) had not any of the papers in the suit, and therefore Was unable to argue it himself. The court announced that it had made rules to overn cases at general term, by which no appeals from non-enumerated motions could be set down for @ future day, and no cases could be taken for con- sideration on submitted points, Mr. O'Gorman then sent for Mr. Williams, who, after a short time, came into court, and stated that ae was physically wholly unable at present to go on with the argument, but would submit points by Saturday next. This offer was refused, and a re- quest Was then made that the case go over till the next term. The court refused to let the case go over without the consent of counsel for the respondent. Mr. Shea, for the respondent, of course declined to ive consent, as they were, he said, desirous of hav- ing the case concluded without any further delay, the action having already been nearly two years in court. Mr. Williams and Mr. O*Gorman then declined to “appear,” after some discussion the court di- fected that the order appealed from be affirmed, Jucge Sutherland announcing from tue bench that he dissented from the decision. SUPREME COURT--CIRCUIT—PART I, The Windsor Defaication Case Again—Suit to Recover the Amount Embezzled. Before Judge Ingalls. The Mercantile Bank vs. Charles Windsor.—This ‘Was a suit brought to recover judgment against the de- fendant for nearly $250,000, a suit of similar descrip- tion having been recently tried between the same parties, with other defendants, on a surety bond for $10,000, and in which piaintiffs obtained a verdict for that amount. In 1851 defendant was en; by lainti(s as paying teller of their bank, aud gave the \d above aliuded to as security for the faithful per- formance of his duties. In the fall of 1864 defend- ant, Windsor, absconded, @ defauiter to the bank in neariy $250,000, and fled to England, This suit is brought to recover that amount.

Tap CORLRTT ABANDONMENT Cas@.—The caso of i josider a very from Baltimore in search of employment. Having spent all his ready money Mr. Brannan last evening applied at the Weldon Hotel, Broadway, for refreshments and lodging, leaving as collateral security a gold watch and chaln worth $100, the chain being highly prized as a relic, it hav- ing been in his cd for the long space of 166 years. Yesterday morning Mr. Brannan, in his perambula- tions about the city, stopped to look into the window of a broker’s office near Fulton Market. While there a ae, came up and entered into a conver- sation with Mr. Brannan, asking where he was from, what his business was, how long he had been in the city, &c. Mr. Brannan unsuspectingly answered the questions propounded, and also stated the fact of hav- ing leit his watch and chain at the hotel. The stranger then inquired what he (Brannan) had to show for his oper, when he produced a receipt, which was demanded, the inquisitive gentleman then representing himself as a detective oitlcere The man, who then gave his name as Edward H. Turner, seized r. Brannan by the coat and said “Ill take care of you and secure the watch,” at which Mr. Brannan assured him there was no necessity, a3 both himself and watch were safe. Thereupon the Battimorean demanded back his receipt and finally received it, when Turner, commencing to feel skaky, started off. Mr. Brannan followed in pursuit and told the fugitive that he would get some one to take care of both of them, for by that time he believed Turner to be a swindler. Soon ofticer Noeden, of the Second precinct, was found, and Turner given in charge. The trio then started before Justice Hogan, at the Tombs, when Mr. Brannan made a complaint against the ac; cused for personating an oficer, and then Tur? ner found he had caught a Tartar in the per- son of the gentleman whom he considered a verdant greenhorn from the country. The magistrate committed the accused to the Tombs for trial, and Mr. Brannan will be forthcoming to prosecute. The unexpected turn the case took greatly surprised Tur- ner, who, instead of obtaining the watch and chain of his intended victim, secured a cell and free board and lodging. BOARD OF ALDERMEN, At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the Board of Aldermen met pursuant to adjournment in their newly beautified assembly chamber. The ordinary preliminaries having been disposed of a petition from the property owners on Warren street against the in- fiction on them of the Brown & Miller pavement. was read and placed on file. The Board being in the “mood” of business, another resolution was brought in directing the laying of a wooden pavement in Twenty-third street, between Tenth avenue and the North river. The resolution was laid over, but it may not prevail, inasmuch as the Alderman of this district was elected by the party of honorabie prin- ciples for the purpose of checking the lavish expen- aoa of the public funds indulged in at the City all. A resolution was introduced directing the inquiry to be made of the Croton Aqueduct Departuwent why the paving of Second avenue above Sixty-third street has been discontinued, tue Board then took up a resolution directing the clerk to furnish to Richard O’Brien, a member of the Board of Councilmen of 1865, a badge and stat? of office; adopted. Permission was given to the Supreme Court to use the chamber of the Board for holding court. A resolution was adopted directing the remodelling of the city into convenient election districts, and after some further unimportant busi- ness, the Board adjourned until two oclock this after- noon. The Broadway Widening Project. A second session of the committee having charge of the widening of Broadway from Seventeenth to Fifty-ninth street was held yesterday afiernoun, but no new arguments pro or con were adduced. One gentleman, formerly a city official, thought it would benefit the street to be widened and to have more rails there. Another thought that, allowing no railroad tracks in the ‘street and taking a foot from the width of each sidewalk would render the street wide enough. Another gentleman explained that he had examined the matter very fully and had come to the conclusion that tke Common Council had no power in the premises aud had no control in the matter of widening any street above Fourth etreet, and he advised the committee to obtain the opinion of the Corporation Counsel before pi ing too far. One of the Councilmanic lights asserted that he had learned that the value of goods disposed of in the Bowery in one week was as much if not greater than the amount disposed of on Broadway. Almost all seemed to concur in the idea that the matter is to be done, if done at all, in the interest of ratiroad jobbers, and that ruin to the business prospects of Broadway, would be the result.

THE BROOKLYN WHISKEY FRAUDS. The Callicott Case=Jadge Nelsov’s Charge to the Jury. ‘The exhaustive trial which brought the case of the United States against Theophilus 0, Callicott, late Collector of the Third Collection district, Brooklyn, and John S. Allen, Callicott’s deputy, to @ termina- tion on Thursday last, reeniting in the conviction of the principal, Calli cott, and the acquittal of Allen, still awaits the final acti on of the court before which it was tried. The verdict of the jury was only ar- rived at, jin the first place, affer a more than usually protracted trial, the taking of aqyoluminons mass of testimony, with an exhaustive examination and croas-examination of a whole host of witnesses, which left not a single point untouched favoxable or unla- vorabie, as the evenly balanced scales of justice might be hoped to be inclined, for or agaiiit the ac- cused, after an elaborate but witha! ihld and thoroughly impartial charge from Judge Netson, Who specially preatded, and fivally after a very full god specially appointed to enforce, it would require an adept, or at least one pretty well versed (and such are not hard to find) in the practice of these whiske; frauds to compute the amount the government would have been fleeced of in taxes and the sum that would on the other hand have gone into the pockets of the ring had it been spared for a longer existence, It 18 known that the jury convicted Callicott and acquitted Allen, his deputy. The latter, however, was previously jointly convicted with Enright on a somewhat similar ‘charge of filling and exe- cuting fraudulent bonds for the removal of whiskey, and for that act he is still liable, with his superior, to the penalty therefor made and provided, There 13 now before the Circuit Court a motion for anew trial, not only in the case of Callicott, last convicted, but also in the case of -nright and Allen, previously tried and found guiily of the charges alleged against them, The motion was made before Judge Nelson, (aa in cir- cuit in this fe ; but he declined to eniertain it in the absence of Judge Benedict, who was associated with hin in the trial of the case, The motion will be re- newed in the Brooklyn court in a day or two, when, if refused, Judge Nelson will at Soee eran to pass the sentence of the court as provided by law. ‘The following is the charge of the court to the jury, a perusal of which will show that the jury had no ore alternative but to bring in the verdict they ids— found against the accused is in substance that Caliucott and Allen, collector and deputy collector of internal revenue of the Third Coilection district of New York, and others, named and unknown, contriving and intend. ing to defraud the United States of divers sums of money, payabie for taxes upon 200 barrels of distilled spirits, on the 7th of May, to procure to be fraudu- Jently executed a certain bond required by the laws of the United States and regu- tations of the Commissioner of internal Revenue— that is to say, a bond for the transportation of dis- tilled spirits, dated the 7th of May, 1867, purporting to be a sufficient bond for the transportation, exe- cuted by R. H. Hand as principal, and William Malin and Jolin Jaggard as sureties, for the sum of $43,000 for the transportation of the 200 barrels from the bonded warehouse of John Wilson, in Brooklyn, to the bonded warehouse of M. S. Cole, of the Third district In Massachusetts, Boston; whereas in fact the name of Hand was forged and tie sureties were insuflicient and wholly worthless, as the said Callicott and Allen and the others well knew, by which fraudulent bonds pay- ment of the taxes was evaded and lost to the United States. The indictment also charges that Callicott and Allen fraudulently accepted this Hand bond for the transportation of spirits as above described and thereatter permits to allow two hundred barrels to be removed from the warehouse of Wilson, well Knowing the insufticiency of the bond and of the sureties. This is the substance, gentlemen, of the charge in the indictment against the accused in what may be called the first count of the indictment. There is also a count in it charging conspiracy on the defendants to connive at the fraudulent execu- tion of this Hand bond and to accept it as security within the act of Congress for the trans- portation of spirits from Wilson’s warehouse, and upon the acceptance of which a permit was granted to remove the spirits to a warehouse in Boston already referred to, The indictment which I have thus stated to you in condensed form is founded upon two sections of acts of Congress, one of the act of March 2, 1867--a late act; the other the act of July, | think, 1864, The offence, as stated in the in- dictinent, is founded on the thirtieth section of the act of 1867, which pea iton that “If two or more per- sons conspire together to defraud the United States, in any manner whatever, and one or more of them shall do any act to effect the object of the parties to the conspiracy, he shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor, and on conviction shall be liable to a enalty of not less than $1,000 fine, nor more than ¥10.000, and to. be imprisoned not ex- ceeding two years.” The acts of the parties, you will observe, here described as consti- tuting that oifence, fall short of the aciual commission of the fraud against the government; the conspiracy to fraud with any one act with either of the parties constitutes the offence. The simple combining to commit the fraud 1s sufficient, without any perpetration of it, or loss or damage to the government. If any one of them has tukena step towards carrying it into effect—as in the present in- stance the procurement of the fraudulent bond—that is one step, and the granting of the permit—that would be another step—for the withdrawal. of the whiskey froin the warehouse, The law strikes at the incipient steps or germ of the offence, with a view the more effectually to deter persons from entering upon it, and lays hold of them before its consumma- tion, The other oifence charged, to which we have referred, is found in the forty-second section of the act of July, 1466, instead of 1864. It provides that “If any person shail sign cs fraudulent bond, per- mit, entry or other locument required by law, or who snail fraudulently procure the same to be executed, or who shall connive at the execution thereof, by which the payment of any internal revenue tax shall be evaded, or which shail be executed for the purpose of withdrawing spirits from the bonded warehouse, on conviction shall for- feit all his interest in the spirits, if he has any, and be imprisoned for a term not less than one nor more than five years.” This act makes it an offenee for any person to execute or connive at the execution of a fradulent bond;.or to execute or connive at the ex- ecution of @ fradulent permit or other document required by law, with a view to avoid the payment of the tax, for the purpose of withdrawing the spirits from the bonded warehouse, It will thus be seen, gentiemen, how specitically and FF pre secon the offences charged in the indictinent of these men are described in the acts of Congress—so specificaily that 4 rson who can read cannot misun- derstanc hem, more especially public officers, who are appointed to carry ito exécution the law or the provisions of the act, and whose attention must therefore necessarily have been drawn to the particular provision as the guide to their conduct the foundation of their duties. By the fortieth section of this act of 1466 distillers’ spirits which ave been inspected, gauged and marked by the in- spector imay removed without payment of the taxes from the bonded warehouse of the distillery, pede pre in the case of Wilson, upon the exe- cution of transportation bonds as the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue may prescribe, which he has done, a8 you see from the form of execution, and may be transported to any general bonded warehouse used for the storage of spirits, and immediately upon its arrival at the bonded warehouse to which the spirits have been transferred there to be again rauged and in inspected and placed in the ware- flouse. The Hand bond, which figurea He og he this case, was got up under this provision of the jaw and the regulations of the Commissioner. That this bond, 80 y fraudulent, was so got up for the purpose of defrauding the government by the removal of whiskey from Wilson's warehouse without paying the tax is undenied; and that it effected the purpose designed by F ehigee | the removal of the 411 barrels without paying, whereby the government lost some $46,000 taxes, ls equally true. The proof on this sub- ject ia overwhelming, and we need not, therefore, give ourselves any trouble to look critically into the evidence as to the fact that the government has been defrauded in this removal. Witnesses concerned in it, engaged in it in the execution of it, have given us a detailed account of the manner in which the fraud was pel The material and only question left open, therefore, for your examination and judg- ment is whether the d lants, Callicott and Allen, were parties to this fraud—connived at and co- operated in its perpetration. . It is the evidence in this case bearing upon this question—the whole of it, 1867, conspired together so far as it has upon this question—that booms Bo N oe8 should look into way, examine it and find your verdict:—Were they parties to this fraud? The question has been very fully, fairly and ably examined and discussed by cach « Tite learned counsel who has addressed you on the subject. 1 do not doubt but that you are very fully already sessed of the question and of all the evidence which has any pertinent bearing upon it, Ido not intend, therefore, to be tedious In going over it, for 1am quite satisfied with the discussion by the learned counsel. Ali I intend is to draw your attention more eepecially and exclusively to the real question of fact in the case. The ground taken in the defence Is that Cailicott, the collector, had no knowledge of the fraud in the execution of this bond—this Hand that it was not executed before him, but before Allen, the deputy; and hence he .had no means of knowledge or even of icion that there was any- ce susp thing wrong in get it or in the execution of fe how thie { cotlainiy” seus as seapen ine execution pf the bond. It was not executed in his roont in the butid! but in the Adjoining room—the frgmt room eccupied by the deputy; 2” eo far the grand taken by the learned counsel ts well founded on the evidence. But it must be re membercd--ehouldl be remembered—that le vad it atterwards in his session for several daya for (he purpose of ex: jg it, and with a view to asver- tain if it was a good gecurity for tie taxes on the whiskey to be removal. Hardy applied wth the bond for the permit the Arst time; vat Calliratt de- clined to give the perm: Kd took the boud ta wok into ittook it trou Hatay 16 look into it, Seve vernment. But 1am sorry to say—sor to say—that Cullicott entertained the applica tion—received the blank permits for further coustt- eration (that is, according to the evidence of the wit- ness he took there), and said he woud see about it instead of rejecting them — and with indigna- tion, Now, to gay the least this, Callioott, we see, was advised and had a knowledge that these parties, Cunningham and MeMuilen, two of the con- spirators, intended to commit a fraud upon the gov- ernment. He was thus put upon his guard by this fraudulent conduct, aud if an honest oficer he would naturally have seen to it that by no sabseguent con- trivance of othera, such as getting up a fraudulent bond, adeceptive bond or otherwise, the frauds should succeed, He was admonished that these per- sons had made an expertaent upon him with a view to get these two hundred barrel# from the Wilson Warehouse without payment of the tax, without any security and without any bond, The first lot of two hundred barrels was removed by means of this bond, and the permit was given upon the face of it by the coilector, and instead of being taken to Boston, according to the conditions or terms of the permit, a large portion of it was taken to a Ents + ad establishment in this neighborhood—Brown'’s and others-assuming tt as one the 168, the fraud was rfected. 1 shall not go mto detail; you remember the disposition that was made of them. A large portion of it was sold for $1 30 and the money went Into the hands of Me- Mullen, Afterwards auother application was made to the Collector for the removal of 211 barrels from the same warehouse and by the same parties, This lot of whiskey was removed on the 2ith or 25th of May. Now, it ts admitted--it {a not to be denied upon the evidence—that this second lot was removed without any bond. The old permit was used, the date altered from the 14th to the 25th of May, and the transportation order of the same date, the 24th of May, signed by Callicott, was procured, These papers were procured by McMullen, who afterwards delivered them to Cunningham, and upon them the whiskey was removed, 211 barrels, to Boston, according to the directions of the order, and to these distilleries in the "laa een especially to that of Brown and others. Unexplained, this is a mantfest fraud by the Collector —no bond, no payment of the taxes. An explanation has been offered by the learned counsel for the defence, and it is for us to examine it and for you to determine the w ight of it—peculiarly the place and province of the jury, It is this: that McMullen altered the old permit himself from the Lith to the 24th, and that the transportation order, which was genuine and bore the same date— the 24th—was got under the supposition that it was intended to pppiy to the first permit—the permif of the 14th of May—issued ten days before this transportation order. It is admitted, not denied, but that the alteration of that old permit from the 14th of May to the 24th was made by McMullen. It is proved to be in his handwriting, and doubtless he altered it. The transportation order dated on the same day of the alteration and signed by Callicott he must have procured. He was the one who obtained the permit for the second lot and brought the papers and delivered them to Callicot, who delivered them to Dayton, the storekeeper, McMullen, therefore, must have got the transportation order which was issued on that day. Now, the first permit that was given on the 14th conferred full authority upon these parties to remove two hundred barrels of whiskey from the warehouse of Wilson, It required no transportation order—that a none was given at the time, But the permit was full authority to the parties for the benefit of McMullen— for it is agreed that he was the master spirit—for his benefit, full authority toremove two hundred barrels. Well, the argument is—and you must give it such weight as you think it entitled to—that the collector may have supposed that the first twe hundred bar- rels of whiskey were not immediately removed upon the permit of the 14th of May, and that they may have remained there in the warehouse ten days, and that this order was given for the purpose of accom- panying that first permit with a view to remove the first lot of two hundred barrels, Now, that is the argument; that is the explanation which the learned counsel has given, Itis for you to look at it and examine it and all the circumstances connected with the removal of this second lot and the papers upon which it was made, Now, Deveau, who was the bond clerk in the office, wrote this transportation order; he was a witness and testifles that he wrote {t and that it isin his handwriting; and heisthe one, you will recollect, when that was returned by Dayton to the office. that was conserned in the alteration of the date of that order from the 24th to the 16th. He has givenus no explanation of this transportation order which is written by him, and the duty that lly belonged to his office or to his department as clerk. He has not given any explanation that tt ‘was issued for the purpose of accompanying the first permit of May 14; he has not given any explanation of it—left it unexplained, Now, there was such Mm- discretion in getting this transportation order as very properly to call for observation as it respects official duty. The Collector knew that he had given this authority for the removal of the two hundred barrels on the 4th from Wilson's warehouse, and he thus gives a second authority to remove the same number of barrels ten days after: wards, leaving it open to these parties engaged in both applications to him—these parties who had made application for the removal of the first two hundred and had also subsequently renewed the ap- plication for two hundred and eleven barrels more, and who had in the first application indicated a dis- position to perform a very questionable action in the removal of this whiskey. Would it not, under these circumstances and in cunneciion with these parties who were thus fairly suspected—would it not have been wise on the part of a public officer, before put- ting into their hands these two suthorities, to inatl- tute an inquiry, either by himself or by his agents, clerks or deputies, at the warehouse of Wilson, to see whether the first two hundred barrels had not al- Teady been removed. I understand that it was not over @ mile, or at least two or three miles, from the Collector's office to this distillery and to this ware- house. it would have been no great trouble, consumed not much time, to have instituted this inquiry when the application was for two hundred barrels more, to see Whether the tirst permit had been used in the transfer from the warehouse of the whiskey. Now, gentlemen, there is one more topic I am going to call ‘our attention to for a moment, and then I shall jeave the case to you, and that 1# the circumstance connected with the application of the District Attor- ney on the 28th of May for the privilege of examiuing these bonded warehouses, B, You have that account from the deputy—from the Assistant District Attor- ney. What led to this application ts a fact that seems to be in some dispute between the learned counsel, although I recollect distinctly the testimony of Mr. Allen, and it is on my notes. Twenty- one barreis of the last lot of the 211 were seized in the carts on the 25th, and were in the street in front of the office of the District Attorney, The seizure, of course, produced some sen- sation, particularly amot the parties who were interested in the remo’ and on the part of the District Attorney, who was looking to the inte- rests of the government. It seems that Mr. Allen, in the interest of the government, went with Cunning- hain, who was Interested in getting the twenty-one barreia reicased, to the office of the Collector. Mr, Allen, the Assistant District Attorney, states that he there put the question to the Collector whether this whiskey that was thus seized and ed had been removed in pursuance of an order from and the | answer, as stated by Mr. Allen, was given the order, and that he had given the order to Femove from class A, Wilson’s Warehouse, to class B ete bonded warehouse. That is the testimony of Mr. Allen, It is questioned on the part of the counsel for the is, tion which would exist between the two orders, for Ailen's testimony 1s not mistaken—that the first trana- rtation order was to this whiskey to Boston. ‘he second, according to the account which we have from Mr. Allen, was not under that order, but under an order to transfer the whiskey from clase A to class B bonded warehouses. But I don’t put weight upon that; but what I wish to cali your attention to is this:—this suggestion of the removal of the whis- key from the warehouse of Wilson.to the warehouse of class B, a. bonded warehouse. That sug- gestion excit the suspicion of the District Attor- hey that there was something wrong about the re- moval. Hence he instructed his deputy on the 28th to go to the Collector and get the priviiege of having Uhese bonded wareliouses (class ni examined, to see if he could find where this whiskey had been trans- ferred. He went there, and on putting the question tothe Collector he was unable to state to what particular warehouse, class B, wi had been transferred. If he had been able to do #0 why, of course, the Assistant District Attorney could have made the examunation at once; but he was una- bie to tell him, aud stated to him that Mr. Dayton, the removal officer, had the order or permit; that he Was then gone and pro! he would not be able to find it that afternoon, but he would see the oilcer and get the papers from him, Well, Allen called the next day, the h, and it day the Collector was hot f, bit he saw Tapped, ‘and all the papers th: Tappan could find was this Hand bond, avd they e: ainined thet.

Budget of 1869—Message of Mayor Kalb- flelach, The annual meeting of the joint Board of Aldermen and Supervisors of the city of Brooklyn was held yesterday afternoon, at the City Halil, his Houor Mayor Kalbfeisch in fhe chair. The budget of ex- penses of the municipal government necessary to be raised by taxation for the year 1809 was submitted by the Mayor, from which it appears that the whole amount necessary 18 estimated at $5,193,254, being $250,000 less than the amount called for last year. ‘The reductions upon last year's estimates occur as follows:—Omission $129,000 for parks on Brooklyn Heights, of $70,000 for Williamsburg tm- provements, of $46,000, which was raised last year to meet deficiencies of previous accounts, and of $4,100, which was called for to meet unpaid Williamsbarg claims and the transfer to the general item of city bonds of the sum called for on account of the Wallabout improvement, There are reductions in the following ttems:—In the principal of city debts, $75,000; park expenses, $74,000; gene- ral expenses of the city government, § 4,00 ; pouce, 8,000, and for educational purposes $109,000, The ayor in his budget then proceeds to enumerate, on tue other baud, the augmentauvns of the estimates of last year, The interest of the city debt requires $200,000 more to be provided now than last year; the recent legislation in regard to the Fire Depart. ment makes it ineumbeut to call for $120,000 more than was asked im 1807; the item of salaries, principally on Fire Department ac- count, demands an increase of $15,000; cleaniug streets, repairing wells, &c., $10,000, and for the cove of Gowanus Canal bridges $5,000 additiona: ix necessary.
