THE COURTS. Summing Up in Ex-Sheriff Brennan’s * Suit Against the City. THE CASE 10 BE GIVEN 70 THE JURY TO-DAY Preparing for the Trials of the Alleged Crooked Whiskey Dealers. ANOTHER BLOW AT RAPID TRANSIT. After taking some additional, though unimportant, testimony in the suit of ex-Sheriff Brennan against the city to recover $52,000, claimed to be due him as a portion of his tees for the first threequarters of 1872, being tried before Judge Van Hoesen, in tho Court of Common Pieas, counsel proceeded to sum up the case. Mr. John T. Straban, on behalf, of the Sheriff, claimed tnat the bills presented were mude out strictly in com- Pphance with the law; that all the charges were legal; that the same were made out from data furnished by parties whose duty it was to obtain such memoranda, and that ‘ir. Brennan signed the bills rolying implic- ily on their legality and correctness. Ho insisted further that the charges were in accordance with the ts established by previous sherifls; that the accounts wero examined monthly by th of Supervisors, and that the same were audited as correct afier such ex- amination. He spoke also of the unlikelihood of Mr. Brennan «resorting to tho paltry meanness of over- charging for conveying criminals, in which, at the most, a few thousand aollars comparatively could be made, when as Comptroller, an office he tilied with acknowledged ability and probity, he might have stolen millions of dollars, In summing up on behalf of the city Mr. James C. Carter spoke at reat length and with great earnest- ness, he accused Mr. Brennan with willul and gross vvereharges in his bilis and characterized thom as Wiegal exactions belonging to that category which enabled the ring operators to rear for themeelves laces surpassing in splendor the palatial abodes of @ Old World. tmsisted thas, instead of the city being indebted to Brennan in the sum of $52,000, the latter owed the city over $35,000 for overcharges, and he asked a verdict against bim for this st It being late when the counsol finished their sum- ming up the court was adjourved until this morning, » when Judge Van Hoesen will charge tho jury. ALLEGED WHISKEY CONSPIRATORS. ‘The parties indicted by the United States Grand Jury, and who were arrested on bench warrants charged with dealing in crooked whiskey and thereby defraud- ing the government of a large amount of revenue, were esterday brought into court to plead before Judge Benedict, sitting in the United States Circuit Court, There was quite a crowd of interosted spectators in the court room anxiously attentive to the proceedings and'watching developments. Assistant District Attor- neys General Foster aud Pullman appeared for the gov- erument, Alter conference between counsel for the prisoners and the government an application was made fo the Court that brief postponements of the trials should be had to give counsel for the defence further time to prepare their cases. The Court granted the Qpplication in euch case. The trials of Phil- lip H. Tuska and F. 0, Boyd were set down for next Moriday, and tho cases of Eman- uel. Eising, James Anthony, Edward Brow! K.P. Hill, W. 8. Milier and William M. Rice were down tor the Wednesday following. Ex-District Attor- ney Tracy, of Brooklyn, will appear as counsel for Boyd and Hull, beg the well known firm of F. 0. Boyd & Co. ; J, W. Hall as counsel for the firm of Rice & Hold- tog, Elihu P. Root for W. S Miller, A. H. Purdy for Emanuel Eising, The other prisoners have also emi- Dent counsel engaged in their defence. The bail of Beth Ely, ono of the parties indicted on a charge of fealing in crooked whiskey, was p Corsi pertocted, His sureties are Jamies Loughran, Daniel Driscoll, Wil- Nam Frendell, John @. Jenkins, John Finley and Na- than ©. Ely, the amount of bail boing $20,000, FIGHTING RAPID TRANSIT. Making tho courts the medium of fighting rapid ‘transit seems to be the proper thing Just now. The ex parte order to show cause granted privately on Mon- day by Judge J. ¥. Daly why an injunction should not issue restraining the New York Elevated Railroad Company from makin; ious additions to its road in the way of switches and turnouts granted at the in- stance of the Ninth Avenue Railroad Company, proved the forerunner of a further application yesterday be- fore the same judge by Mr. A. J, Vanderpoel, counsel ‘of the Ninth Avenue Railway, for a modification of ibis temporary injunction, the bearing in which will not take place until the 25th of the month. The modi- fication asked tor is to compel the Elovated Railroad Company to Gill up the holes aiready made im the street, and otherwise to repair injuries claimed to have been sustained through the work already done by the Elevated Railroad Company toward completing its ad- . ditional switches and turnouts, An order was granted to show cause why such modification should not be made, and the same was made returnable at three P. M. yesterday, but owing to the absence of Judge Emott, one of the counsel, the argument of the matter was postponed until this morning. A NICE POINT OF LAW. Before Judge Dyckman, holding Supreme Court, Cir- cuit, there has been on trial tor the last few days a suit brought dy Frederick L. Berringer against William Wengenroth. George Fulling obtained a judgment against the defendant, and was about to issue an execu- tion on the judgmont wnen hig brother stopped in and pave two notes respectively for $500 and $1,400, in satis- faction of the judgment. The first note was paid, butthe tecond was not. The present suit was on the second note, Mr. Fulling having assigned his interest to the plaintiff. The suit was detended on the ground that the contract was rescinded by tbe issue of an execution by Fulimg upon the judgment and because there was no tender of tho assigiment of judgment. The present ‘was the second trial, a verdict having been previously given for the plaintiff. The termination of the trial esterday resulted in a verdict for the defendant. Mr. enry Daily, Jr., appeared for the plaintiff and Messrs, D. MJ Porter and E. A. Acker for the de/endant, MOBILE AND OHIO RECEIVERSHIP. * In the suit brought by Mr. Morris: Ketcham, of this tity, in the interest of stockholders of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, to assert his title as trastee of the firs: mortgage on the road, already mentioned in the Hena.p, argument was to have been heard yester- day in the United States Circait Court, in Mobile, for the appointment of new receivers of the property of the road, .Juage Bradiey, however, belore whom the _ motion came, refused to bear argument on benalf of the motion, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. Chief Justice Monell, of the Superior Court, was yesterday reported as very much better, His speedy recovery {s confidently predicted, ‘The case of K. Viney Winter was again up yesterday In the United States Circuit Court before Judge Bene- ‘dict, he having been granted a new tral, on an indict- ment charging him with robbery.

On the night of the 15th or 16th of April tho store- room of the steamer John W, Garrett, of the New York and Baltimore Transportation Company, lying at | pier 7 North River, was broken open and a quantity of cigars and guava jolly was stoloeu, Tho property was worth $3,000, and was en route from Cuba, consigned to Mr. R. 8. Strobel, a Baltimore importer. Michael Clancy, an alleged professional river thief, being sus- street, were searched, and eiyhty-six boxes of the stolen cigars were found. He was thereupon arrested | and indicted by the Grand Jury. The case was called | by Assistant District Attorney Bell yesterday, and it occupied tho-entire session of the court. The jery not having agreed at seven P, M., the court adjourned to eleven A. M. this morning, WASHINGTON PLACE POLICE COURT. Before Judge Duily. A DESPERATE PRISONER. + William M. Monckton, alias Thompson, alias Mont- gomery, alias ‘The Kid,” was charged by Detective McNamara, of the Central Office, with being a pro- | square. The prisoner, at the request of the detective, ‘was remanded for further eviden@e. [t appears that | on January 3 last McNamara arrested the prisonor for | attempting to rescue Heary Brady, then a prisoner in | his charge for pocketpicking and an assault on a | | Fourth avenue car conductor. McNamara held Brady | and succeeaed in getting Monckton arrested. Monck- ton was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. The detective saw Lim on Tuesday evening, when Monck- ton ran into Engel’s saloon, No. 470 Sixth avenue, and through it into an oyster saloon, where he seized | a knife and’ menaced the oilicer. The latter | knocked Monckton down with the butt of his revolver. | ‘The struggle was a desperate one, but Monckton was | overpowered and taken to the Thirtieth street police station bouse. It is expected heey, the prisoner | will be identified by the warden of Sing Sing Prison as ‘an escaped convict. KEEPING A DISORDERLY HOUSE. Annie Harrington, of No, 117 West Thirty-first street, was required to give $1,500 bail on a charge of keoping a disorderly house. Tne warrant for the raid on tho house was \ssued by Judge Duffy und executed by Ser- | geant Berghold and the officers of the court squad. Ten women and one man were arrested. Two of the prin- | cipal Detent FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET COURT. Before Judge Kilbreth, } AN OUTRAGE, WITH TERRIBLE VIOLERCE, ON AN AGED WOMAN. An old woman named Ellen Mahony, residing at No, 411 Second avenue, preferred a charge of indecent assault with violence against Thomas Dunn, a tinsmith residing at No. 421 East Nineteenth street. The poor woman’s appearance was wretched, affecting even those accustomed to pictures of police court misery. Her taco was fmghttully discolored and bruised, abd both eyes .were nearly closed. Her body was horribly } bruised. The assault occurred on Saturday night last | in the room of tho complatnant, and she has since been | under medical treatment at home, She was so feeble esterday that it was deemed advisable to send her to ; lievae Hospital, where she 1s likely to remain for | some time, Judge Kilbreth thought ber so seriously | injured that her death might ensuc, and in order to | keep Dunn in custody he made the bail $6,000. Dunn’s answer to the charge was equivalent to « confession. | He said:--*Me and her son were on a drunk together, and I suppose that is bow | came te goin her room, i | don’t mind seeing the lady at all,” | j HONORABLY ring Te The case of Officer Fitzpatrick continued yester- day, but there was no additional testimony of impor. tance adduced. Tho charge wha, therefore, deciared unfounded, and the officer was honorably discharged. | The feeling among the police of the Nineteenth pre- cinet against Officer Falmer, whose wife was the com- | Paces against Fitzpatrick, is very bitter, because it thought that she woald not have brought the matter | into court at all were it not that he had urged her to 80, 4N UNSUCCESSFUL SNEAK THIEF.

Below will ve found the most important part of Com- missioner Allan Campbell's report to the Mayor of the ‘transactions of bis department during the quarter end- ing March 31:— EXPEXDITURES.™ On account of appropriations, provided from taxation for the year 1875..........$122,095 38 On account of appropriations, provided from taxation for the year 1876.......... 226,598 63 Total on account of taxation........:s.. .804MB04 OL On account of assessment fund, for street AMPrFOVEMEDLA, ....csereeseeserserreeree 425,475 44 On account of funded debt, for improve- ments on aqueducts, reservoirs and Croton pipes (including $917 81 for recon- siruction of sewers),......-. evone 113,915 38 Grand total........ seen sees sors $888,084 83. ‘The aggregate amount of expenditures is $405,127 20 Jess than for the sume quarter in 1875, which bad been the lowest pean since the passage of the chartor of 1873, and $2,165,029 80 less tban tor the highest quar- ter since the passage of the charter, * THR WATER SUPPLY, Relative to the Croton Aqueduct and water supply the Commissioner says:— Theo safety, purity and abundance of the water supply are so essential to the health and comfort of the com- munity that every eloment which could in any manner affect them 18 watched with car During the past season the y duct has been severely tested and proved by the ire- juent storms and ireshets that have caused so much mene in various parts of the country, and have been especially dangerous to reservoir and aqueduct em- bankments. No serious damages eccurred, and usual force emp.vyed in the maintenance and repairs of the aqueduct and reservoirs bus been suflicient to meet all demancs for repairs to embarkments, protection walls, culvert and fences caused by the action of the ele- ments, The work on tho new storage reservoir in Putnam county, now in course of construction by contract, has been partially suspended on account of the delay in the Jagat Proceedings to acquire ttle to the lana re quires Tho rainfall has been very abundant for the quarter (12 66-100 inches), 6o that the nataral flow in the Cro- ton River was greatly in excess of the capacity of the aqueduct, the surplus running over the Croton dam having varied from three to sixty-three inches in depth. But the consumption has repeatedly during freezing weather exceeded the quantity daily brought into the Park reservoirs, diminishing the depth and head of water, to the t inconvenience of a part of the population, Tuis ts due to excessive waste, which nv advice or appeal {rom this department has been able tocheck. The Chief Engineer reports that when temperature was below twenty degrees Fahrenheit the wastage increased rapidly, on some days being 10,L00,000 gallons in excess of the quantity used tho previous day, This ae waste takos place mainly in private dwollings, If citizens would be more careful m protecting thelr plumbing by other means than excessive and often rockicss waste of water they would promote their own and the general interest of the city by avoiding taxation ‘to provide the additional supply of water to meet the alsy in foreclosure, thirteen lots, each 25x102.2, on West Seventy-sixth street, north side, 200 fect west of Ninth avenue, as follows:—Eight for $1,625 each and three for $1,600 each to Oliver M.

Possibly some means may be devised before auother ‘winter to remedy the evil, Work on laying Croton pipes has been practically suspended during the winter, but may now be resumed. At the request of the Board of Aldermon I bave mado a Teport, designating the streets and avenues where it is desirable and necessary that pipes be laid. I propose during the approacuing summer to make some examinations of the question of an additional supply of watcr trourthe Croton River, While I have po idea thut the City ts at present prepared to encoun. ter an expenditure of $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 for a hew aqueduct, or that sueh a work ts nbsolvtely neces- Sary, it is manifestly the part of prudence to give the subject timely consideration, and to make such further investigations as may be necessary to arrive at correct conclusions. THR BOULEVARD CONSTRUCTION, The Boulevard works are rapidly approaching com- pletion, the force employed on them having been re- duced from 1,489 men and teams on January 1, to 903 men and teams on March 31, Reductions will continue to be made until the completion ot the works, which may be expected during this year, when a source of great expense will be stopped. There are certain works which have for some time been in contemplation, the cost of which would be en- tirely assessed upon adjacent property; and 1! it should be the wish of owners to carry out such improvements iv would seem proper to do so, upon petition of the umber of property holders as required by law. THE KINGSRRIDGR KOaD. ‘The necessity of improving the “Kingsbridge road” ‘has been called to my attention, not only by a resolu- tuon of the Common Council, but by persons residing or owning. property in its vieintty. 1 bave given tho subject due cosideration. The “Ku gsbridge road’? 1s an important thoroughiare, being nearly four miles in length, from 165th street to Harlem Kiver. go con- ‘vert this road into a ‘street,’ by the necessary work of grading, paving, curbing, flagging, draining, &c., as bas been proposed, and for which proposals wero at one time received and accepted, wouid cost the warge sum of $500,000, one-balf of which would fall upon the city at large andthe otber balf upon adjacent prop. erty. 1 regard such outlay at the present time ag en- tirely unnecessary, and in view of the heavy burden of exwling taxation as not to be thought of ‘The population in. this part of the city is compara- tively sparse, though, as before stated, the Kings- bridge road 8 an timportant \horoughiare or drive ior considerable numbers living between the Hudson and | the Harlem rivers and in the annexed wards yorth of | the latter stream. | In my opinion the traffic over this road will be quite ‘as well, if not better, accommodated by thoroughly iin- proving it as @ road, instead of converting 1b into a regular street, with all the applinuces of, paving, fing. ging, &c, and in stating my plan to ‘some of the citizens interested [ find that it would probably meet with genoral acceptance, A good smooth road (of macadam character where necessary), of ubout thirty feet wide, shouid be made \ ‘on the present grade in the centre of the road as now Jaid out, the outer portions to be of earth and kept { jo as to afford an agreeable drive in mild | The cost of such an umprovement would bo ively small, aud yet it would anawer all re- The difficuiy in Gurrying it out seems to Lie in existing laws, which, com) + | | Tor eo ; of Broome ; 6 months 5,000 | Br o James Morgan, & » of i Tih av. ; jistalments. ts st 3,840 | Greiuer, Charles F, and wile; to Steffen’ Dieckmann’ ss, of Darmine st.,'e. of Bedtora; 5 years 6,000 Goodicind, Wm. and’ wite, to Wm, J, Goldsmith, e. & tof of Delancey, w. of Suffolk s W. and wite, to Morel ©. of Oth iy. ; 5 yours Ingilam, a, &. of Uist 1 year 3 you Isaac and wile, to Wm.

He informed imball that he must be identified by a respectable business man—by parties, in I hown to the author- of bis firm de- everal persons as livered as desired. Kimball named reference, but on inquiry they denied all knowledge of him, The Superintendent then pled Kimball with questions. The latter admitted that he had no connection with the firm of which he said be was a representative, bat that he was in partnership with one Alfred Cately, ‘The latter is well known to the Superintendent as a dealer in cheap sewing machines.

The discipline tn all except 10 was reported as either excellent or good. The genera! management in 30 of the schools was found to be excellent—in 10 good, The number of pupils on Fegister In tho several schools on the 30th of April last and the average attendance during the mouth, as Compared with last yoar’s return, was as follows:—On register ia 1876, 111,689; average attendance, 101,204; on register in 1875, 108,505; average attendance, 97,526, showing an increase in the enrolment of 3,184 and in. the attendance of 3,678 The number of pupils re- fused admission during the mouth was 635, chiefly from the schools of the Nineteenth, Twenty-second and Tenth wards In the last mentioned ward this ‘was caused by the closing of Grammar School No, 7 for Tepaira. The report of the Superintendent of ‘Truancy showed that from tho 2d tothe 16th ot May the total number of cases investigated was 916. Of these 635 were not classed as truanuts, leaving 28] truants and non-attendants, Of these 268 have been returned and placed in school and 13 committed to the care of the Society forthe Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents. The Clerk read a communication from Mr, Wilham Herring presenting the decision delivered at a General ‘Term of the Supreme Court in tho case of The People exrel the Board of Bducation against Andrew H, Green, Comptroller, and in the case of The People ex rel, Russel H. Root and T. 8. Babcock against J. Nelson Tappen, City Chamberlain. In this opinion the Board of Education was sustained in the case against tho City Chamberlain, and tho do ciwion at Special Term denying a Faget writ of mandamus a; ing him to deposit th Chamberlain to the credit of the Board of Educatidn subject to its drafts was reversed. The Board of Edu- cation Was thus sustained as a separate and distinct corporate body, having the right to exercise an inde- pendent control over the tunds raised tor purposes of public instruction and to pay all obligations incurred in the support of the schools by drafts drawn directly upon the City Chamberlain, signed by the President and clerk and countersigned by one of the Commission- ers, YRKNCH PRIZE FOR NORMAL school, A letter was received from President Wood announc- ing that he had received the sum of £30 trom Dr, An- derson Kirkwood, of Glasgow, Scotland, to be devoted to the purchase of a watch to be presented to tho stu- dent most proficient in French at the Normal Coliege. The bylaw which prohibits the acceptance of prizes from outside sources wus suspended, and the present was accepted. A vote of thanks Was passed to Dr. Kirkwood, and the clerk was directed to acknowledge the receipt of the gift. Mr. Patrick Horgan was appointed a School Trustee Sf the Seventeenth ward, vice Mr. Owen Murphy, re- signi Pai it to the report of the Executive Committee ofthe Nautical School a requisition will be made on the Comptrolier authorizing Commander Fithian, Su- perintendent of Nautical Schoois, to draw to the extent of $3,500 for the expenses incident to annual cruise of the St. Marys, which, during the summer months, will proceed to the Azores in order to give the pupils an opportunity of testing their efficiency.

Several were open in their denunciation of the way in which the patronage isrun. The Tammany men feel gratified at the advancement of Bronnan, but openly declare that it was in obedience to. a bargain betWeen the Mayor and the republicans thot all the leading departments | shouid have a democratic head, in consideration of the | selection of a republican minority in the commissions, | ‘The writer sought Mayor Wickham’s views in ex- | | | | planation, but met Colonel Burton N. Harrison, bis private secretary, who declared that the Mayor’ had nade no bargain between democrats and republicans, and that there was no political significance in the changes in the presidency of the various commissions, THE STEWART MANSION. The rumor that Mrs. A. T, Stewart was about leaving the mansion corner of Fifth avenue snd Thirty-fourth street, to take up her residence in the old house, No, 355 Fifth avenue, is incorrect. A HgRatp reporter yes- terday called on Judge Hilton to ascertain if such a change was really avout to take place, Judge Hilton stated that, so far from the statement being true, tho ideq of her doing so had never been entertained or con- 8 ed. This denial by Jadge Hilton sets at rest tho visionary speculations which have been raised, and | which, for the most part, have had their origin, it is understood, in the gossip of the Union League Ciub House.
