The CASE OF THE WATCHMEN-His Honor
the Mayor, called before him yesterday morning,
between the hours of and 10 o'clock, Mr. Daniel
E. Boze, watchman, whose examination, on the
charge of in proper conduct towards Mr. L A. God
din on thursday evening lss gave in full in yes
terday's paper-to hear judgment upon the test
mony presented in support of the complaint
Wsichman Thomas Granger was also present.
The Mayor said that he regretted extremely tina,
in SO short period after entering upon his duties
chief sgisrate Of the city, complaint should be
made to him of the action of any of the police of
the city, over whom he exercised supervision. 1t
was painful to him to pass judgment upon Mr Boze,
but he could not sit there impartial and up
right Magistrate and justify his action. Upon Mr.
BIS own statement, he had used uniuslifable Ian.
guage towards Mr. Goddin, and had said that under
certain circumstances, he would shoot his slaves.
He (the Mayor could not believe that Mr Boze
spoke seriously when he made this threat or that
he intended to carry it strictly into effect. Never
theess such language could not be used, whether
it spoken in jest or earnest. II could not be
used anywhere; it could not be used by an officer
of the city. Mr. Boze had no right to shoot slave
because he was impairment; nor had any other
man. Ii he did such act, he would be guilty of
murder. He had taken into consideration the pre-
vous good character and tsthiuness of Mr. B., but
still he could not overlook this derection of duty
made clear by the examination. He should be con-
strained, therefore, to suspend Mr. B from employ.
ment as Waterman for fifteen days. If he believed,
for one moment, tina, Mr. Boze or Granger, or any
other officer Of the city would, for the purpose of
gratifying private pque, or i'll feeling towards
citizen. abuse his prerogatives of Office, and seek
wantonly to injure that citizen, ne would not allow
that delinquent officer to retain his situation FIVE
minutes. He did not that any such feelings had
been proved to exist the part of either Mr. Boze
or Mr. Granger towards MIR Gocdin; and therefore,
hs saw no reason why he should punish Mr. Gran.
ger. Granger, conse quenty, could repair to his
duty and he would say once for all, tina. watch
men, they were to do their duty to the city, their
whole duty, and if they desired information as to
the extent and character of any of their duties he
trusted they would come to him for it, and he
would impart it far as he was capable at all
times and under all circumstances. The case here
