Gen NYE-in the meantime, where 1t /; evidently

The General Superintendent was Instructed 70 70.
port at the next meeting Why the ordinances we're n
complied with. ~
| Mr.. BOwES-I wish 10 make q statement 20 the
Board in regard to some Of our Captains OF Pohee'
saw by the pagers day two since, that under the

were no Captains in the audience whatever. Captain
| Trumbull was reported to have been one Of these
| captains. =
Mr. BowrS-Capt. Trunbull was the one whom
| met in Broadway.
Mayor TIEsASs-I took good deal Of pains in ez-.
amining the whole matter, and satisfied myself that
here was not policeman or police captain In the

| Mr. sTRASAHAN reported on complaints:
| Jas Burns who was off his beat on two occasions
from Is TO 30 minutes, was fined 10 days pay.
Mayor TIENAsSLl see you are going 10 hsve e

| biDg man; Mr.. Susnahan recommended dismissal
| Mayor PowELL-When this case was up asked
that might be heard before the Board aud after it
was reported on got il postponed and examined the
testimony very carefully. l ha, examined the test-
| mony OF Company No. 4, of Company No. 2, and Of
the officers who accompanied the Depuiy-Superin-
tendent on that OCCASION aod ] cannot come 70 the
same conclusion with NY colleague. There is q rival
| ry between those Companies. No. was going home
| when No. came along, and there appearance
OF disturbance; stone, or two three stones
thrown, when the Deputy Superintendent turned upon
the crowd, and one made u Of remarks 10 gasi
him which wele disagree BILE, to be sure but which
every public man muss learn TO overlook. The
| l saw were:
| There goes Old Fat-Head Folk
Another ssid
There goes Old Folk
he approached certain man named Mitchell, and
struck him blow with his club that laid hin sprawl
| ng There Is DO evidence that Mitchell disobeyed
any order from him. t1I.k k his conduct very repre-
hensbe. DO not think that any police officer has
right 10 use his club upon the head Of fellow-czen
| unless he is in the resistaLce Of some law. will
stand MP in defense of the police, even to the taking
of lie if Necessary; but say that man is author
lied 10 his club in striking down another under
such circumstances.
Mayor 1IEMAsS-What disposition do you propose
| making Of II .
Mayor PowEIL-I propose that he be reprmanded
1 oy the General superintendent and cautioned IN
future not to use his club except in the protection Of
l his own life.
Mr.. STRAsHAS-Mr. Pre,ideut the statement made
tne mayor 1i brooklyn Is quite correct, except
