Mr. bliss then brought bis action in the civil courts and obtained a fresh order of at- tachment, on which he agaim@atiached the same property, just in time to invalidate the action of counsel ‘or Graed, who had also obtained an order of attachment against Graea’s property for ccun- wei fees, The suit brought by James Bigier & Co, lumber | dealers of Newburg, for $69,000, balance due for Jumber furnishea the Dock Commissioners, which Was begun several ago beiore Judge Donohue, ofthe Supreme Court, was concluded yesterday.

THE TEMPLETON CHILD CORPUS. ‘The question as to whether Colonel! W. C. Tem- pleton shail keep in his care his grandchild, a boy three years old, the son of Duncan D. Templeton, or whetuer the child shall be given in charge of bis mother, Ida Maud Templeton, came up for argument yesterday before Judge Donohue, tn Supreme Court, Chambers, on the writof habeas corpus procured in the case. Several! ladies were im court, Including Mrs. Templeton, the mother. The child was aso present. The return to the writ and the traverse were first duly presented ‘and filed, thus presenting the issue fairly before te Court. The first sets forth that tne ebila 48 not properly cared for where it now is, and the latter that the motner is an unfit person to be entrusted with its custody. Jobn D. Townsend appeared ior Cojonel lemp.eton and ex-Judge Bosteed jor Mrs. Te pleton. Ex-Judge Busteed addressed the Conrt at great length, and at times, as he waxed warmer in his envnosiasi, in tones loud enough to be heard in any of tne adjoming courts. He went back to tie oid Roman laws regarding personal liberty, and then, ollowing the course Of jurisprudence through the track 01 centaries, reierred to Engiish statutes auc rulings regarding the writ of habeas corpus. Judge Donouue interrupied him in the midst of ope of bis Wost impassioned sencences, and re- Marked that What he was saying was very inte- resting (6 Nim ana Mort ejoquentiy told, but haa Be possible application to the question Lefore the Coart, The statutes be bad quoted had reference to the hiberty of the subject, Whereas (he present matter Was simply an mquiry es to whether the relator or tbe respondeat 3 ould have tue custody Of the cbiid. #Ex-Juage Busteed thought differently and went ©B 10 his OWn Way. He svon, however, crossed the ocean, and, ater quoting Hurd on the haveas corpus, cited, from Massachusetts to Mississippl, ail the Various State enactwenis bearing on tne same topic . Again iudge Donohne essarea to stop the furi- ous Cow of citation and comment, but 1% did no good. Mr. Busteed was evidently bound to ex- banst the sumject of habeas corpus, and he did, At length, however, Judge Donouue, in a spirit of evident hopele-sness, turned bis attention to ex- amibing papers in other cases. ocetdiug With bis argument, Mr. Busteed came to tue discussion of tue question whether the present case stiou.d be sent vefore a reteree. He {usisted that It Was nota proper cuse lor rejer ence. ip this connection he read the aMfdavit of Mrs. Templeton, submitted at the previous near- ing, the substance of wnico Was published at the time in the HeRaLp. Mr. Townsend denied emphatically the state- ments set {Orth in this aMdavit and asked per- mission to read counrer affidavits.

JURE PLAMMER, As the Investigation progre: 1t becomes more @nd more evident thatthe arrest of this man, demented and paratyzed, and his sentence to the Workhouse for six months under the name of ‘John Doe,” was a judicial outrage of the most Aggravated character. All citizens who saw the man agree that he was not intoxicated, while the police maintain that he was. The testimony of Sering Robbins, the doctor’s steward at the Work- house, which was given in a very clear and lucid manner, was to the effect that the man showed NO SYMPTOMS OF DEBAUCH, This establishes the correctness of the Mack brothers and other citizens who, having no interest im the case, most +ex- piicitily qeny the statement of his intoxi- cation, With a view of learning from actual inspection the nature and condition of the cells in the Worknouse, where he was confined, seven of the jury, accompanied by the Coroner, Commis- sioner Brennan and the writer, proceeded to the island in the steamer Bellevue, and arriving there, proceeded to the office, where they were met by Warden Kean. The books, showing the SIX MONTHS FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT, were exhibited, and Coroner Kessier called the attention of the Jurors to the fact that for offences of this kind the highest penalty tnat could be found, after along search, was one month. The party then proceeded to examine cell No. 8, wherein the prisoner was first confined while awaiting the doctor.

ALDERMANIC COMMITTEE INQUIRING INTO THE COMPTROLLER'’S PECCADILLOES—FRIEND STERN'S BILL OF ONE THOUSAND SIX HUN- DRED DOLLARS. The investigation into the charges made against Comptroller Green was resumed yesterday after- noon in the committee room of the Board of Alder- men. Alderman Purroy, chairman of the Investi- gating Committee, and Aldermen Shandley and Billings were present. The chairman first called James Kedtan, who, alter being sworn, stated:—1 am a member of the firm of Kedian & Brothers; we did some plumbing and other work for the College of New York; our bills were audited py Mr. Davenport; they were paid yesterday; Mr. Green refused payment at first unless I submitted to an unreasonable deduc- tion; he sent @ man named McConkey, who was Perfectly incompetent to report on it, to examine the work; that man was sent in January, 1874 he did not know galvanized iron from tin; he examined the roo/, looking from the street, about Seventy-five foot away; my bills were audited Jane 29, 1873, and August, 1873. The per- sons connected with the College have tried to get tne bills paid, but Mr. Green rejused on the basis of McCopkey’s report; I entered an action and obtained a mandamus on about April or May, 1874; 1t Was to compe) the President of the Boara of Education to sign the draft; an appeal was made by Mr. Green, but the decision was con- firmed; the draits were then signed, but the Chamberlain woula not pay them, as he stated that there was no money set apart by the Comp troiler to meet them; several demands were made on Mr. Green, but he refused payment antil yester- day; that ts after 1 was subpwoaed as a witness; Ido not know the amount of costs that the city had to pay; they paid over $300 interest. Mr. Gerard, being sworn, stated :—1 was retained by Mr. Kedian to collect a claim against the Col- lege of the City of New York for work done. Wit- ness then explained tne line of action he nad taken to collect this bill of over $3,000 and the legal grounds upon which he based his demant jor heh he added that the original bills of Mr. Kedian amounted to $3,876, and tue bili paid yesterday was $4,252, showimg @ loss to the city Of $876; after the drait was signed I went to Mr, | Green and asked him to pay it, and he told me “this was @ free country and I could de what lL chose; 1 then drew up a paper explaining the case, and made another demand for Mr, Kedian’s money ; 1 will also state that there was plenty of money in Mr. Green’s hands, so that there Was no excuse for not meeting our draft; | do not know why the money was paid yesterday, unless there Was some reason to avoid a pubiic investigation, Mr. Wiliam H, Neilson, President of the Beard of Education, stated—I have been President of the Board of Education for about two years—since the new law Was passed; the board of Education has power to avdit claims jor work done to the City College; the Comptroiler bas claimed the right to control all the money received jor the use Oo! the Board of Education; the Board has passed @ reso- Jution ordering the Comptroller to piace to tueir | credit all moneys for their use; asked legal advice, and, finding we were right, ordered the money to be paid over to us; there has been some little incon- venience and in some instances great inconvenience by the action of the Comptroller; in a few cases we bave been annoyed, as people refused to furntsh material, as toey have so much aificuity in getting their pay; I heard Mr. Kedtan’s statement, and I may say that the com- the Comptroller | mittee audited the bill and it went to the Comp. | trolier’s office, who cemanded a reduction before he would pay it; Mr. Gerard’s account of the pro- ceedings 1s also correct; tnere was a@ difficulty about @ philosophical instrument that was im- ported that Com) troiler Green retused to pay for; there ave aiso been some delays in the paymeny be the teachers employed by tie Board of Educa. tion, Mr. Albro P. Man, of the Board of Education, being sworn, stated that most of thts dificulty had arisen from an incorrect interpretation of the position of the College of New York in regard to the city. ment with a view to explaining ihe condition of affairs and told the story of the philosophical in- strument, how it lay at an express office until the company threatenec to sell it for expenses unless the eu yas paid; it put us to considerabie incon- leiice, Mr, George H. Forster, sworn, stated :—I ex- amined the annexation bili of 73 and drew up some clanses that would obviate consttational ovjections; went over the subject very careiupy with the assistance of another gentleman, and after it was engrossed I sent it to Mr, Caldweil, ewanices making some amendments, presented the bill before the House and had it printed; as soon a8 I received the printed copy of the bill I sent copies to the Mayor, Comptroller and others, asking them to send any Suggestions they migot wish to make; Mr. Simon Stern called on me shortly afterwards and said be bad been requested to look into the matter by the Comptroiler; he wanted to know what we needed and why we needed it; | was desirous of having Mr. Stern take @ favorable view of the bill, aua passed some three or jour hours explain- ingitto him; Mr. Stern alterward sent me a copy of his report on the bill, making several changes, mostly favorable to the Comptroller; The witness then made a long state- | | Ward; rent applic s | the section in regard to maps Was struck out by | myseif, and I believe Mr. Stern assented to it; [ should not think Mr.‘Stern’s services to the city in connection with the Annexation bill were worth $1,600, Mr. Caidwell then went through the Annexation Dill, explaining all the amendments that were made. The only original amendment made by Mr. Stern was in section 9, and contains nine printed lines; believe altogether he mace \welve original lines.
