KINGS COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERvIsoRs.-The
question as to the admissibility OF the Alderma-
mic claimants to seat in the Board, is to be deci
ded in the Supreme Court On Friday afternoons
an adjourned meeting was held at the County
JAIL at which the Committee, appointed at the
last meeting, to consider the claims OF the second
class Aldermen, were to have made their report
But, at the outset Of the proceedings, supervisor
Crooke served each of the claimants with copies
of q summons and injunction, granted by Justice
Morse, restraining and enioining them from ia
king their seats in the Board for the purpose OF
any action as Supervisors until the legal rights of
the parties are determined, by suit instituted
by him for that purpose, in the Supreme Court
There is doubt expressed by the Opposition
members Of the old Board, in reference to the &C.
ton of the Legislature, in thus enlarging the
functions Of the Supervisors OF the City oil BROOK
lyn The constitutionality of the act under whlsn
the claim is made, will therefore be tested before
the proper tribunal.

The great increase in the number OF patients

~ The Board of Aldermen have instructed
the Counsel of the Corporation to apply for a law
authorizing SBecial Committees to send for per
sons and papers. We trust the Legislature will
grant no such power. We have Investigations
enough now, that amount to nothing but pretsxt
for draining the public Treasury, and we cannot
consent to any increase of the powers OF Common
Council Committees. By the way, we should
like this power to send for persons and papers to
be applied by proper Legislative Committee to

Aldermen. We will wager trifle that some

say "persons and papers again in hurry
