THE COURTS. Another Reminiscence of the Palmy “Ring” Days. THE BROADWAY WIDENING JOB. A Policeman’s Misconduct Out of Uniform. FIXING REFEREES’ FEES. Tho Broadway widening job assumed a new phase ip the courts yesterday, having come up on an applica tion on bebaif of the Mayor, Aldermen and Common” alty to open and yacate a taxation of costs made over SIX years ago, which application was mado before Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court, Chambers. ‘The proceeding 18 but one form of a pablic litigation which in many phases has occupied the courts for years past. The motion is made on the general ground that the bill of costs islargely excessive of the amount aliowed by law, and from that fuct the inference 1s drawn that ins taxation at the excessive amount was the result of pollusion between the then Corporation Counsel, Mr. O'Gorman, Comptroller Connolly aud the Commission- ors. The Corporation Counsel took no appeal irom the taxation, and it was subsequently confirmed, spe- cially, by an act of the Legislature, the assessments liyposed on the basis of it and the amount collected inte the eity treasury, Abouta year ago a direct suit was commenced by the present Corporation Counsel to have the taxation set aside and a towporary injunction granted, This imjunction was, on motion of the Gom- missiouers, dissolved by Judge Donohue, From bis decision aa appeal was taken to the General Term, where it was confirmed. Thence an appeal was taken jo the Court of Appeals, but never argued, A sult was next commenced on the part of the Commis. sioners to enforce payment by the city. When this suit was on the calendar and about to be reached for trial he present motion was brought lor- ward, It is made on allegations contained in the com- plaint on behalf of the city, and on ailidavits made by Comptroller Kelly, Richard Amerman, Edward 0. Hy Jervis avd Henry W. Wheeler, on which an order to show cause was granted by Judge Barrett, The sub- stance of these ailidavits is that the Commissioners claimed the enormous sum of $166,632 40, which claim atthe time of taxation was unsupported by ailidavit that such expenses were actually incurred or sary, as requirea by the rules of court; that, nevertheless, the bul was tuxed by Judge Cardoz that under the act to prevent frauds in laying out streets tue Couimissioners were entitled, irrespective of necessary disbursements, to but thirty cents per Hiveal toot Of the street improved; that in violution of Ibis statue the Commissioners charged for their services $42,000, or $89,766 50 of an overcharge; tur tue law ailoWed $1 per day for room rent actually pad und other mecessary expenses, not exceeding $100, ut in eXcess thereo! they charged and had allowed the enormous sum of $26,543, logether with $8,761 40 for stutiongry; that there 18 charged for surveys, rule maps , the enormous item of $56,619 % over aud above the alleged cost of the abstracts, and Without distinguishing What portion thereof would have been a re making of diagrams, as commauded in the statute; that tue charge lor aps is frauduient aud extrava- as been charged jor the uumber of ch of the maps the sur of the boonda every lot; thus, in the case ol coutin- uous lots, counting identical boundary lines twice; tub the $500 allowed for room tent was ever actually paid; that tuere was also paid to Joseph C, Skaden, Daniel O’Conor, Bernard Smyta and Jonn Scott, as uppraisers, the sum of $16,000; that at the me of such service as appraisers one of them (Skaden) was an uld man about seventy-seven years of age, Who had been engaged in the brush, bristle and bellows busi- ness Im this city, 1 copartnership with Wilham Ai. tweed and Daniel Berrian, ap to 1965, and without knowledge of real estate as an expert, Bernard Smyth was the receiver of taxes in Ubis city, Jobn Scott a jus- tice of a District Court aod Daniel O’Conor a retired mason; none of them except Smytu being com- potent’ as appraisers of real estate, ‘The afflda- vits further allege that mone of the items specified in the bill of costs and charges have been actually pad by the Commissioners, aud the entire necessary disbursements properly tuci- dent to the proceedings for the proper discharge of the duties assuined by the Commissioners in ihe pro- cceding would not have exceeded thy sum ot §: A Ubat Laxativn of the excessive bill was procured fully aud by negiect of duty ou the part of the then Comptroller and Corporation Counsel, and was whoily and absolutely void. ‘The afliduvits on the part of the Commissioners were equully voluminous as those used on Lehall of the motion and contradicted all its substantial allegations, Alter the reading of both sets of aifidavits, those on bebalf of the city by Assistant Corporation Counsel Requier and those on the part ot the Commissioners by Mr. Clarke, Mr Thomas Allison procceded to argue inst the motion, He took the ground that, alter Ube passage of the act of 1862 and prior to the taxation Of the bili in question, the courts bad uniformly held, and it Was accepted by the Bar as correct, that the act | of 1862 appued only to the tormal opening ol sirecis laid down on the map of 1807, and not to Lew streets opened under special acts of the Legislature and not laid dows oa that map; that upon Lae motion to cons lirm the report of the Commissioners in the second pro- ceeding fur opening Broadway, which report included the bili in question, and ulso the bill of costs of the second Commission in the assessment made by itthe Corporation Counsel objected to the second bill of costs because it Was excessive under the act of 1362, 4nd the Court overruled the objection and held that that act did not apply to this proceeding, Numerous other cuses, subsequent to tue taxation of this bill, were reserred to, ia Which the Court adopted the same rule. Froi hese facts it was urged tat a failure to follow the act of 1s62 was no evidence of fraud or even of negligence, but merely showed that the then Topenied adjudications, had been followed, and it their Construction Was incorrect only error aud uot fraud wos proven, Mr, Allison further contended that the Is71, Which authorized the Court to set aside t Broadway proceeding in Whicd this bill was taxed and toistituty a second Broadway proceeding was, in terms, a legisiative ratification of this bill of costs us it stands; Unat the act in terms provided tbat “the biil of costs he olure taxed shall be paid;’? that tis nota direction to pay the costs a jegal amount ander the act of 1802, but was a tion to pay the bill as taxed, Corpurntion Counsel Whitney, in reply, contended that ail they asked Was (he opening of the taxation aud leave to go beiore a reieree und take testimony as to the Jawiuines#, correctness and bonesty of the charges. Ii on such relerence the city could show fraud and excess in making these charges it would then be jor the Court to take such action as m seem prop dit felt authorized to take It usouably mtended by the Legislature act of 1871 Ubat this bill of costs should nding how wuch fraud or irregu- paid, nou larity ore cuarges might be shown to exist ip it, and nowithstanding even the fact that Juv dozo wecved ib Lhe inatter without baving the 1 papers beiore lim to conter jurisdiction, The act of 1 was equally applicable to street altering or 8 Lo street openin auou ol Lhe Comuissio point ov the argument Judge Barrett inquired from Mr. Wuituey tf all asked by him then was the ap- rei Diol a rejeree to take testimony as to the al- e ive and unauthorized charges, replied that he would be sati the thereupon the Judge granted that p motion, leaving the que to be deter iued at sou aod Limited the com- ors to Uhurty cents the fled with tofthe On Of Teadjusting the costs subseyuent Line, DOCTOR GOURAUD'S The case of Andreas H.

Oifiver Bernard Counolly was tried before the Polive Jomnmiasioners aud dismigsed the force on @ charge of onuble and Just charge for the mere | struction Of the wet of 1862, sanctioned by | NEW YORK A&RALD, W conduct unbecoming an officer. The conduct cov- sisted, as was alleged, of enticing a girl named Mabel Avery irom the stoop of a house in Houston street to a bouse of assignation. From the decision of the Commissioners an appeal was taken by writ of cer- tiorari to the Supreme Court, General Term, where it was argued yesterday by Mr, Willam F, Howe on the part of the officer aud Mr. Charles F, MacLean on the part ot the Potice Commissioners, Mr. Howe, in bis argument, contended that the oMcer, beng off duty aud in civilian’s dress, he waa tried before the Com- missioners for au alieged offence over which they clearly had no jurisdiction, If the ofticer had com- mitted any offence at ali it was merely an oflen Against morality, It appeared that the girl went voluntarily; that there was no proof that the house to whieh they Went was a house of ussignation; that no oifeuee had been proven against him which rendered him lable to dismissal, and the jhdgment of the Police Commissioners should ve reversed and the ollicer remmstated, dir, MacLean argued, ta opposition, that the trial was had after written charges inade against the relator and his appearance for trial, and upon the taking of testimony and due deliberation be was dismissed; that the Board bad jurisdiction, the proceedings were regular, no error Was committed and the judgment could not be disturbed, ‘the whole charge and spect cation were to be taken together, and it plainly ap. peured therefrom that be was charged, if not with conduet injurious to the public peace and welfare, certainly with immoral conduct and conduct unbecoin- ig an oflicer, A wide discretion was give, most properly, to tue Board 1 considering the conduct of policenien and the propriety of their removal irom of | fice, and for that purpose the Legislature nas adopted the'military phrase, Conduct uuvecoming an olticer,” and given to the Board authority to determine what 18 nduct, The substance of the cbarge—improper conduct—he further contended, was fully mado out. [t was enUrely material whether the girl was of good character or bad, Whether she weat with him will- ingly or not, it Was periectly clear that be induced ber to go with im, ‘be writ, therefore, he concluded, should be quashed, with costs. The girl’s testimony was tbatahe went with the officer on bis pretence to get her asituation, Decision was reserved, THE HACKLLY CONTRACT. Judge J. FP. Daly was yesterday asked to remove e. Judge Leonard, the referee appointed to take testimony in the old Hackley contract case, on the ground that he bad demanded a fee of $5 an hour, which was in excess of the statutory feo, It was stated that one party had offered to give this sum, but the other side refused, Mr. Burtlett, in sapport of the motion, said it would be improper to go on with the case under such circum- stances, He cited several authorities going to show that the courts had favored the rule not to give extra ees to jurors or judicial officers, masmuch as it tended that there ought to be no difficulty im this case, as the reterce in any event could only recover bis statutory fecs. Mr, Bartlett contended, however, that the offer of a larger sum by the other side might tond to in- fluence the mind of the referee to some extent, aud suggested the propriety ot hia removal. Alter a short arguinent in opposition Judge Duly concluded to re- sorve his decision in the matter, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

At the close of the defence Mr. Her- ring by way of rebuttal examined a very bright lad named Joseph Owens, He said he was a newaboy and supported his mother by selling papers; on the night of the occurreuce he was returning from a wake, and ip passing Muneschau’s saloon looked in trough ibe ball clused door, having been attracted to the remiaes by the fracas, He testitied that he suw Mun hau holdiug Weeks in his arms, and that while Le was 1p 4 reclining position the prisoner made a thrust at bim if tn the act of stabbing him, al- though from h.# position he could not see u weapon. Mr, Aintaing subjected the boy toa aoe f cross- exumination, but the little fellow reiterated his pre- vious statement without any material discrepancy. Oficer Pretel, 12 response to Mr. Herring, testificd that be saw the boy at the bedside of Weeks after tho stab- bing bad occurred, and thus corroborated bis statement that he scraped tho lint tor the wounds inflicted on Weeks. Matthew Mone was recalled, and in answer to Mr. Herring testified that when Spielman was taken to the room of the dying man to be identilled he said, “You didn’t get the kuite, did you??? Some corrobor- ative testimony having been given by the brother of the deceased aa to the expressions made use of by the prisoner tho cuse closed. Mr, Kintzing, in the course of bis address, submitted with great emphasis that no alternative was left to Spielman, under the circum- stances of the desperate assault made upon him, but to protect himself, as the law jusuitled bim in doing. He commented with great force upon the fact that the prisol and bis friend were quietly enjoying themselves when the assault was mado by the deceased, and he warned the jury that a verdict of guilty in this caso would be tanta mount to licensing the invasion by the rowdy element ol the metropolis of tho social retreats of all good citizens. Assistant District Auiorney Herring made a very effective and eloquent argument tor the prosecu- tion, and while complimenting the prisoner’s counsel for his uble and ingenious defence, characterized the homicide as a wiltul, unjustidable and cold-blooded assassination. He called upon tho jury to be mindful o! their duty to the people at large in rendering their verdict, contending that if simple justice were meted out the prisoner should be convicted of the crime set forth, Judge Sutherland charged the jury, who, aftor an absence of about an hour, returned a ver- dict of not guilty. On motion of Mr. Harwitz, asso- ciate counsel with Mr, Kiptzing, tho prisoner was then discharged. The verdict was somewhat unexpootea and was recei' * with loud applause by a large crowd of tbe prisoner’s friends assem bied in the court room, but these noisy demonstrations were promptly sup- pressed, THE KELSEY MURDER, Aresident of Huntington, prominently known asa momber of the “tar,” or antl-Kelsey, party, made a statemont to a reporter yesterday which 1s in any cage suspicious, as coming {rom one in sympathy with thoge who admit and scok to justify the commission of a barbarous outrage on Kelsey, and only deny the mutilation aud murder of that unfortunate young man because it might bring their necks io contact with the hangman’: The statement of this person 1s that 1m one respect the untimely death of Dr. ©.

Mr. L. N.

Ke. cently thoir management has been as bad as artisan politics could make them, Their capacity as not been utilized and their expenditures have been profligate. ‘The vital question to us and the people at large, How to rescue them aud how to obtain irom them the largest ansportation of commodities at the maximum of speod and (he minimum of cost, has been Iittle regarded. But we are happy iv tho beler that the time has come when those great requisites, cheap- ness and swiftness of trausportation, are to receive their due covsideration, Tbe people will be most agreeably surprised at the sum whieh will be found requisite for this purpose, Aiter a vote of thanks to tho President the meoting aujourned, THE COTION EXCHANGE.

THE FINANCE BIL. ‘Thirtoon democrats in the Board of Aldermon yes- terday voted in favor of a resolution offered by Mr. Joyce requesting the Governor to veto the Finance bill, which was passed at the closing hours of the Legisiature. Eight republicans voted against the resolution, The principal objection made to this bill is the effect which will result from sectlon 7, com- polling each contractor bidding for city work to deposit with the Comptroller a certified check for five por cent of the amount of his contract, It is contended that this oc se would ennble wealthy contractors to com. bine so to monopolize public work at their own figures. ‘Alderman Cowtng argued that the bill was passed in the int jt of the taxpayers, being originally favored by democrate, He hoped tho Governor would conse- quently affix bis sigouture to Jt Theresolution will be forwarded to {ngon ay goon as tt 18 signed by Mayor CITY RAILROAD OBSTRUCTIONS.
