resumed last week before Justice King and the EVIL
dence being all in, the matter waits his adjudication.
The who'll. affair seems to realize the fable of the noun
tain in labor and though considerable amusement
caused the develosemel IS fell very short of the general
expectation chiefly owing to the fact that the arrange
merit by which the Freeman was TO support the Mayor
at the last election proved to have been made be-
tween him and (the then proprietary Judge johnson and
Mr. W A. Green. then candidate for the corporation
counsellorshp. The complainant Coston, was at that
time only the publisher and called in afterwards
to matters of detail TO circulating extra mum
her Of papers embelished with wood-cu portrait Of
the wbig candidate for the Mayoray and in that capa
city he received S75 of which much has been said; be-
yond this the particulars OF the compact ruled out

10000 impressions well worth the money any
bilious of extending his counenance to the voters at
the interesting period Of an election.
Colonel Crooke offered some evidence to disprove
tain statements made by the Mayor on the former
casicn, when the defendants counsel objected He
did not intend the examination to be conducted
with view to crafty any morbid curiosity of the Free
man it readers; and they had examined him
matters unconnected with the direct examination,
they had made him their witness those matters, and
could not now impeacli him.
The hoped counsel would continue to keep out
all unmportant questions. Mr.. W. Hammond, Judge
JOIN son. General Duryes, and Dir. W A. Green, were
successfully called the stand The greater part OF
the testimony referred TO some financial arrangements
connected with the bills due the Freeman from the
Corporation, and which Judge johnson property

Colstons and that he could by virtue Of his office stop
the payment and reimburse himself for the 500
loaned him. and which he, in effect did do Judge john
aked whether the arrangement was not that in
the event Of the Freeman supporting Mr. Brush he would
not oppose Mr. Green in his appointment counsel for

ground before stated.
