Now, he (counsel) submitted that the con- versation testified to py Connolly was entirely con- Bistent with the innocence of thé defendants. Atter citing various lega! authorities bearing upon the point counse) went on to argue that xo far from Makiag apy fraudulent return the defendants had Paia over and above what they were required to do as prescribed by law. Having reviewed the evidence adduced in the case, commenting strongly upon the fact that Connolly, the principal witness for the pros- ecution, had when under examination expressed hunself as being biassed against the defendants for bemg discharged. The figures themselves showed that the defendants had paid $366 tax more than they were entitled to, Ip fiue, counsel adverted to the testimony as to the character of the defendants and moved for a dismissal of the charge, Mr. Purdy resisted the motion, submitting that it was tie duty of the prosecution tomake the most minate investigation into the caarges preferred. He admitted that the evidence of Connolly was Diassed to some extent, but said that the government had other witnesses to substantiate the complaint.

At the opening of the court yesterday James Thompson, who pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary in the third degree a few days since, was sentenced to the Penitentiary for one year. James Smith, who was charged with ourglariously entering the premises of John J, Shafer, No, 113 Alien street, on the Sd inst., pinades guilty to an atiempt at burglary in tho vhird degree, and was sent to the Penitentiary for six months.

Jouanna Wenthart was placed on trial charged With steaing $125 in money and a watch, on the 21st of September, from Michael Farley, who swore that he met her In the Bowery. The accused told a dif ferent story, stating that Faviey promised to marry her, gave ler ring aad had a picture taken, The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. MichaelKavanagh and Joseph White (boys) were charged With roobery in the first degree. Mira, B.S. Keys testified that while she was passing through ‘Thirty-second atreet, on the 12(b inst, a boy sprang upon her and grabbed her chain, Sbe pursued him aad would have caught Lim had it not been that two boys helt her aris. A litte girl named Julia Schultz stated that she boc} Jobs oub Of & window when she saw avanafh 8tize the Jady’s chain and run away, and that White was one of fhe boys who detained Mrs, Keys wien she endeavored to capture Kavanagh, She positively ientitied the prisoners. Jobn Wilktus Was tien called as a witness by Dia- trict Attorney Hatenings, but the boy obstinately refused to take the necessary oath, The prosecuting oficer and Judge Bedford examined bim at length, finally eliciting the fact that young com- panies of the prisoners threatened personal violence if he appeared as a witness, and that his brother, Klaus Wiking, residing in Bighth avenue, told him that he must bot swear in that case, The Judge endeavored to persuade him to coasent to be sworn, cautioning lum that if he persisted in re- fusing to do so it would be his duty to lock hum up for contempt of Court. The boy, who had reached the age of sixteen years, was immovable, and the Judge wag compelled to have a juror with- drawn until the obstinate witness would give his tesuumony. This course was pursued and the prisoners were remanded for trial. Mr. Howe, their counsel, oifered to take the boy’s statement instead of nis sworn testimony, but the Judge deemed it proper wo maintain the dignity of the gourt. ‘The witness was then placed in custody, At @ period of the afiernoon the brother of the boy wi brought beiore Judge bedford, who cautioned him as to his stavutory rights and also tnformed him that if it wore true that he Instructed the youth to refuse to testify in court he would send the matter before the Grand Jury and bave him indicted for tamper- ing with a witness. After considerable discussion the Court permitced the eider brother (who was thirty years old) and the youthful obstinate witness to go Lome, they having promised to appear next term and testy under oath when the case wi called up for trial. John Manchester was charged with robbing John Buckley in agaloon, on the 2ist of September, of the sum of twenty-one dollars. The evidence was so conflicting and unsatisfactory that Mr. Hutcnings virtually abandoned the case and the jury acquitted the accused. Oscar Wilson, who was indicted for petty larceny from the person in stealing @ watch from Henry Houss!ing, on the 5th inst., was tried and declared not guilty. Thetestimony for the prosecdtion was weak und only circumstantial, and the accused hay- ing proven an excelient character, the jury promptly rendered a verdict of acquittal. COURT CALEWDARS—THIS DAY.

The women, as was natural at a woman's suffrage meeting, were in the majority. ‘Those shining lights of the Bureau, Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Stanton, were abseat from the meeting, a8 they are at present impressing the necessity of the Rerolurion in the status of woman upon the minds of the good people of Providence, IL Mrs. Phelps was called tO the chair, which posi- tion she accepted with becoming dignity and over- powering grace. Mr. J. W. WARD, of San Francisco, was introduced to the meeting and delivered himself of a lengthy dissertion on the “soclal evil.” His remarks had every merit except that of originality, but were nevertheless applauded by the chaste sisters present. He was followed by Mr. Peck, of the New Haven Jour- nal and Courier, the gist of Whose remarks was that he had been asked by Miss Anthony to speak, but that he was utterly uuprepared so to do. He pro- ceeded to advise them to agitate until they obtained the prize for which they were striving. A great deal had been done in this world by persistcat talk- ing, and he hoped they would continue in ine good work they had begun. Mrs. BLAKE introduced a resolution tn favor of the Ofteenth amendment to the constitution, but tn co: sequence of her remarks receiving very little ap- plause she wisely determined to leave the vote on the question until the next meeting, and subsided for the present. Mrs. WiLBocR then read a lecture on the question of women’s suffrage. The tecture was received with the applause it merited, and the meeting ad- journed. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT THE GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL. Soon after six o’clock on Tuesday evening a very melancholy affair, resulting im the death of one Timothy C. Allyn, a wealthy gentleman engaged in the fire insurance business at No, 50 William street, occurred at the Gramercy Park Hotel, On Saturday Jast Mr. Allyn took adrive in the Park and while there some one recklessly drove against his carriage, crushing and nearly ruining tt and injuring him severely. Since that time Mr. Allyn has been con- fined to his room, and the accident has seemed to annoy him very much. aside from the pain and in- convenience it caused him. At the time named on Tuesday evening Mra. Allyn went down to her dinner, leaving ner husband alone in the room. Shortly before seven o'clock she returned, and, on opening the door of the room, was horrified to see her. husband lying on his back on the floor, with blood over his face and on the foor where he lay. Mrs. Allyn screamed for hi which soon arrived, and upon examining the body life was found to be extinct; a pistol shot wound in the centre of the forehead was W_be seen, Mr. Allyn had tong kept a sed in his bureau drawer a8 @ protection from thieves and burglars, and from the fact that the drawer was open and blood on the clothing inside, it is presumed that Mr, Allyn examined the weapon, and while doing #0 tt exploded, thus driving a bullet into bis brain, Almost instant death must have been the result, Coroner Koliins, on being notified, heid an inquest on the boay, and the jury returned a verdict of death from accidental shooting. Mr. Allyn was forty years of age and a native of Connecticut. He has left a widow and one son, about fourteen years of age, FATAL RESULT OF A FRAGAS. Yesterday morning Coroner Keenan received information that Patrick McGinn man seventy- #ix years of age, was lying dead at No. 640 Ninth avenue from the effects of tnjuries received at the hands of Joseph R, James, living at 638 samo nue. On making inquiries at the Twentieth pre- cinct station house it was learned that deceased and James were drinking together late on Monday afternoon, and while thus engaged a dim- culty occurred between them which — resulted jo James striking deceased and knocking him down. It was not thought at first that McGin- neas Was much injured, a8 h seemed not to be the intent of James in striking him. The relatives and friends of McGinness did not think the matter of suMliciont importance to have James arrested; but they were greatly astonisned at the death of the injured man, which occurred at three o'clock Tues- day afternoon, At eight o'clock that evening the occurrence for the first time was brought to the at- tention of Sergeant Murphy, then in command of the ‘Twentieth precinet police station, who immediate! despatched officer Armstrong to arrest James | oe Gil information possible relating to the matter. ‘ne oiticer also took charge of Mary James, mother of the prisoner; Alexander Mooney, 642 Ninth av nue; Mra, Wheeler, 640 Ninth avenue, and Isabella McGinness, widow of deceased, ail of waom are to be Important witnesses, Wooster D,, made a post mortem @xamination on tie body and found that rapture of the Intestines, the result of violence, Was the caure of death, he nature of thg violence wii! be sbown during the progress of the Thyestigation.

The contents of the yellow tissue had been printed in document form and made a book of only twenty- three pages. The subject matter of the document Purported to be the result of a thorough examina- tion into the whole pubiic school system, with a view of ascertaining in what way a reduction of expenditures may be effected, without im- pairing the efficiency of the schools, made by @special commitiee of five, which was appointed September 15 and reported October 6, 1869, As the committee made ‘the thorough examination into the whole public schoo) system," and took just three weeks to make the examination and construct the report, and ag by the report it was made to appear that the screws gf economy could be so applied aa ‘vo squeeze some $800,000 or more out of the column of expenditures for the coming year, the matter, of course, was regarded aa of more than ordi- nary importance, and had the effect, therefore, of attracting (as the dramatic critics would say) a large and invelligent audience to the mecting of the . Mr. R. L. Larremore, the urbane presiding officer of the Board, was in the chair,eand with his accustomed celerity an* skit! announced the tties of the documents presented and thelr reference to the appropriate committees.

The report was received and ordered to be printed as a document. A communication was received from the counsel to the Board in regard 10 the ques- ton of the legal residence of pupils attenaing the public schools. The opinion was a marvellous one, showing a great dea! of patience on the part of the counsel, as Well as legal acumen, erudition and re- search, and apparently a firm bellef in she patience of those to whom the communication was ad- dressed. It covered some two or three score pages of “legal cap” and exhausted dictionaries, legal authorities, reports of litigations and other interest- ing and entertaining works, in which the words “domicile” or “residence” could be found, Mr. Davenport, the venerable auditor of the Board, who oMciated as clerk, struggled manfully through page after page of the document until from some of the Christian gentlemen present came {nterrogative sighs of “How long, O Lord, how long!? while some, not quite so Chris- tianly, made use of the same expression with the first “how long’? omitted. Commissioner Woop then arose, and, stroking his snowy beard, as tf not at ail wearied or worried, moved that the reading of details be dispensed with, 80 thatthe actual opmion of the counsel could be arrived at immediately. The motion was unani- mously carried, and the opinion was found to be strictly in accordance with the resolution offered by Commissioner Beli early in September, declaring te residence of the pupil to be where the father or mother or legally coustituted guardian of the child resided. The communication was, on motion, referred to the Committee on Bylaws and ordered to be printed in document form. Several matiers of no extra- ordinary importance were then introduced and re- ferred to the proper committees, after which the President declared the “special order of business’? in order, whereupon Mr. SaNps offered a resolution, which was adopted, and by which the “special order” was cut up into small sitces and each slice referred tosome of the standing committees of the B 5 Commissioner SayrH then offered a resolution directing the clerk to notiy the princtpais of the schools to furnish the number of chiidren attending the schools who are not residents of this city, This ave rise to @ little discussion as to whether Mr. myth meant residents in accordance with the opin- jon of counsel or in the acceptation of the bylaws of the Board. Mr. Smyth thought there was bat one — and that was, of course, the legal resi- ence. Commissioner Woop suggested that it would be well for the resolution to be laid over until Mr. Smyth's committee on bylaws should report on the opinion of ihe counsel and the Board knew exactly what its own laws were, and with that object he moved to lay the resolution on the table. Thereupon another little debate on the question of “residence”? sprang up, nm which Messrs. Smyth, Bell and Sands took part. The President did not enforce the par- lameatary law allowing no debate on a motion to lay on the table, thinking, no doubt, that it would be safer to let the gentiemen have their “say” at once, Mr. Smyth finally withdrew nis resolution and the business proceeded. 4 communication in regard to the apportionment of the school fund ior 1870 was received and referred to the Finance Committee. The communication shows as follows:— Amount from the State. ‘Amount from t ana One-twentieth of one per ceut on the taxable prop: erty.of the clty and county of New York, which is 984,100,5 $422,217 eaters iis s 482,059 Ten dollars on each pupil’ of the whole number Uasight as per Oeil reportn, duriug tbe year en tng October 1, 1869 (B116,073)....06 2,185,730 Total fund......-+6 oe GODIN The report of the auditing committee on the ac- counts of the clerk from September 8 to October 7 was offered, and shows aa foliows: Receipte—Balance with City Chamberlain posited since oy Comptroller: Re Total, Paymenta—-Warrants outstanding September 3, Still outstanding....... ; Total. .
