emitted 10 other Sergeants by the former com
landants Of that post The Committee were I'M
nimous in recommending his removal, and had
repaired a report and resolution TO that effect but
m the day preceding the first meeiing Of the c0un-
i'll after the recess, the Committee consented 10
rant Mr., Hazard re-hearing. He had not been
discharged from office, but suspended until the ac-
ion of Council.
Under date of 9Th of August, the following list
If charges was handed to the Committee by Lieut..
petre;
June 49, 1S5O--Sergeant Hazard absent all night
June 26, l550-Sergeant Hazard neglected his
Iuty by not making out the report Of the night, by
which it was forced on Sergeant DAILY and it did
moi leave the watch house until minutes to 3,
July ., lSjO-Sergeant Hazard left his post at
O'Clock while on duty, and did not return until 0S
O'Clock.
July Z, ls5O-sergeant Hazard lay down fast
asleep on bench IN the watch house, while on
duty as Sergeant Of thai post, and by so doing neg
leced his duty, and caused the same to be done by
Mr., Daily.
The COMMITTEES have made several attempts to
have the matter examined again, but from various
causes without success. They believe the charges
70 be true and whatever may have been the practice
at the watch house in former times, such conduct
cannot be permitted. They therefore submit the
resolution which was agreed upon by the Commit

| Mr.. Stewart, chairman, presented the following
| reports and resolutions
The Committee on Claims, to whom was referred
| the petition Of VIM. Lynd and others, owners of
drays, to be released from the payment Of fines IN
Cured by them for violating the ordinances against
fast driving, are of opinion that this ordinance Is
one of the first importance, not only 10 the com.
munity generally, but the dravmen themselves, and
cannot be 100 rgidly IF consistently carried out
bV the Police. Yet its sudden enforcement IN thus
case after having been so long neglected, operates
with great severity on the parties 70 this psuon.
The committee, therefore, report in favor Of the
| same, and CtI5r the following resolution:
loHN C; STEWART,
Rsso1uca, That The Assistant Attorney Of this
municipality be and is hereby instructed IN discon
tnue all suits commenced by him from lst July
last up 70 this date, against all persons, owners q
draws for violations Of the ordinance against fast
driving, and that all fines which may have been
paid in consequence Of such suits be and are here
| by RENTED.
The Committee on Claims, to whom yzss referred
