From decision, published in yesterdays TRIB-
UNH, it appears that Judge Brdseye has actuSny
declined to issue certiorari, for the purpose Of
reviewing certain proceedings of the Police Com
missioners-at least until he shall have heard them
in opposition. His grounds are, that it is matter
within the sound discretion of the Court, and that
the existence of err)r and of an urgent necessity
for its correction in the manner proposed must DO
shown to entitle the applicant to the writ. The
Judge does not pass upon the question of the
Courts power to supervise the action of the Com
missioners, but evidently regards it as extremely
doubtful in view of the fact that this is the first
instance in which the application has been made,
though the came power must have existed in tho
case of the old as of the new Boird. But he id.
verts to the serious public inconvenience that would
ensue should every appointment or removal Of
policeman be subject to review by superior
tribunal-an inconvenience 80 great that it would
practically almost paralyze the action Of body,
which so greatly needs to be swift in its Judgments
and summary in their execution. II q certioran

If that Is allowed, the next thing will be an in

ceedings.
The wonder Of the thing r, not that tho decision
is W hat it is, but that it is made upon an parte
application How Judge Birdseye could have had
the hardihood to refuge certiorar passes our pow
ers of explanation! He may yet become 80 s1ds
eious to deny an Injunction on an parte sppi-
cation. Think of that Mr. Justice Roosevelt, and
rejoice that be is Judge Of the Brooklyn and not Of
