Judge Barrett, ia his speech, animadverted severely on the | eonduct of these officials, saia every citizen had & Tight to. call them to gccount, and wound up by a strong appeal to Judge Barnard to issue the injune tion. THE ARGUMENT. Ex-Judge Barrett, aadureasing the Court, eatd:— Your Honor, I bave been instructed to make an ap plication for an injunction in action m which the papers are before you. ‘Thisis an action brought by Johm Foley, a citizen and taxpayer and a resi- ‘ent of this city, against the Board of Supervisors, ‘wasor and Comimonaity, A. Gakey Hall, Richard jinolly, Wilignt “= Tweed aud Peter B. Sweeny. % @ Papers are somewhat volum..°"# and have Deen araited with yreat care, and I have given the matter some refloction, it may be Letter that [I @hould state briefy the facts aycrred in tne billof | ovinplaint and set forth the Paruiculars of the yee | asked for. The bill, Your Honor, affér setting Gut | the ‘usual formal averments with respect to the ‘character of ic defendents and the position of the Plantif, and, after setling cut » vanety of facts which It will not be necessary for me to call atten. on to at the present moment—such as the condi- Bion of thinga Which led to the passage of the act ot ‘thus Logislature of 1871, under which act we bring the sutt—and without reverting to the vartous mat-| ters of publl¢ notoriets of which every citizen is already “ddvised—such as the condition of | our public avairs, the city devt and its increase during the Jast two or three years, the payment oflarge suins of money without audit- ing, the payment of large sums of money without @uae appropriations having been made tierefor, and the payments of money in excess of appropria- tions and Lie payment of fictitious claims—all these things are averred in support of the bil, 1 will come to THE ACTUAL FACTS IN THE CASE. They are these, Yuur Honor, Aiact was passed at ‘the last Legislature known as the ‘Two Per Cent act, 1013 specifically set forth in the bill of complaint that under that act the Legislature provided that a Sum of Morey not to excecd $25,000,000 for the years 4871 and 1872 should be raised by taxation tor the Purposes, first, for paying the ctiy’s quota of the. Stale taxation, and second, for pay- tng the interest on the public debt ma- tured during the past year, and also for the payment of the principal and imterest of tne debt maturing durtag the present year, and that the surplus which should remain after the payment of these several sams should be applied io the govern meut of the city and county of New York, an‘ that the Board of Apportionment reserred to in the bill of complaint should meet and appropriate such sums for \ue digerent Gepartinents of the conoty and city government as might be fonnd necessary for tho proper carrying of the city government, It was also provised by the act that no more money should be ‘expended for the purposes of the city and county governments than what migat remain after the pay- ment of ihe quota of tig State tax and the payment of the principal and interest of the pablic debt ma- turing during the present year. ‘That was a specific provision of the avt. It was aléo provided that no Sppropriation should be made for any purpose which could not be met or paid out of such balance or remaiuder of moneys thus appropriated, Now, then, your Honor, we apply to you under these circumstances practically to Keep the omictals of the county and city government within the act, which, lanay say, WiibOut travelling out ot the re- cord, 3 an act of their own creation, We ask that that act of theirs be enforced; that they be Kept to that att and they be not allowed to go beyond It or be permitted to place’ any burden upon the citizens Deyond ine amount they are antuorized to impose by that act, We wil show Your ilonor that this act bas deen violated this year, Our bill sets forth that the amount of taxation under the act will amount to $21,600,000; that 1s two per cent as fixed by the Board of Apportionment, It shows, jurther, that this sum shail be divided as authorized by jaw for the Payment of the city’s quota of the State tax nd for the payment of the principal and interest of te debts matured and maturing during the past year and’ the present year. The excess against the present year has been $1,300,000. ‘That sum, {t wulve observed; by the acts dutnorized, tobe raised, in addition to the two per cent, the amonnt of taxable property im the county showing an aggregate sum of $2.320,000 to be ratved. To the sane is to be added $2,700,000, as the proceeds of eli otnér general funds coming into thy general treasury of tue city, #0. shal Lien we see that tne tolal legal income. of the present year cannot ox. coed $26,000,000, Out of Us must be pada the auoty of tire State tax, the principal and mierest of Tie cily and Sotiniy debts falling withid’ the year, and the remainder to be apportioned vy the board of Apporuonment for the several epaciments if the etrmment, andsuch remainder fs all the ci, odicials are authorized by law to expend tor tho purposes of snch governineut. Instead of this we how that the Board of Apportionment have not, as requiree by thelr own Act, set apart from said funds so orised by taxation the Bums meces- sary for the payiuent) of the — Intorest and = principal ol the puviic debi, said sumisainounting to’ €9,000,000; we show that that #u. suould Come OUT OF Ihe $26,00),000 to be raised ‘on {he total meome of the present year. and we aver that it is the avowed avd openly declared poe pose of the defeudanis Bot ouly jot TO.

The Corouer’s Inqucst—Tue Kerper of the Den Refuses to Tell the Jury Who Were There=the Woman “Ligzy”? Still at Larae. The excitement attending the lavesugation of this remarkable case has vastly increased in rloboken, not so much through the desire to trace up the sup- posed murderers of Withers as through the fear that those who, in the house of ill-fame at Union Hill paved the way to hts destruction, shall be known to the public during the inquest. Tt was stated in yesterday’s HEKALD that there mignt be ® chance of the public learning from the witnesses at the inquest the names of those who were in the vile haunt at Union Hill while Withers was there, but it seeins from what happened last even- ig that those expectations are to be baMed for the present and that too with the consent of the Coroner. Wien “Joe,” the dame that keeps the den, was Placed on the witness siand, SHE POSITIVELY REFUSED TO TELE what persons were present when Withers was im her house, Now, if Withers wos murdered by any one he was murdered by some person who knew him tobe atthe house of ii-faine,and was there at some time or other. It seems stranze, then, that all those who were there should not be kKuowa, thouga Coroner Volhardt certainly knows best what questions are pertinent and what not, Brown, the general utility mania the asylum “up the road,’ was also very cautious. Ib Is need- less to state that some of the politicians have token great precaation against the disclosure of their bames at the inquisition. The inquest was held at Stemier’s, 61 Washington street. All the jurors are respectable citizens, aud Mr, Stake, @ very intelli- gent mah, was appointed foreman.
