The Board Of Police Commissioners held their
regular meeting yesterday afternoon, and, as usual
in secret session. There was considerable debate
upon resolution offered by the Brooklyn Commits
sioners to appoint two new men on the force. This
was strongly opposed by Mayor Temann aud Com
missoners Ulshoffer and Bailey, they claiming that
the cases of the old police must be first dispensed
with The resolution finally laid on the table.
Officer l.. Roth, of the Third precinct; Geo. L. Hail.
of the Twentieth, and Jacob Kerchau, of the
Fourth rendered their designations, which were
accepted. A resolution was passed ordering the
members of the force to report all violations of the
Harbor laws forthwith to the General Superin-
tendent. II was reported at headquarters that Mr..
Pilsbury had accepted the position of General Su-

The only case tried in the Court of General Ses-
sions, Judge Russell presiding, yesterday was an
indictment for manslaughter found against John
Kehoe and John Hayes who were Jointly charged
with causing the death Of Morris Tuomey on the
night of the 26th of September. Kehoe demanded
q separate trial, which was allowed, and Hayes
was remanded till another day. The evidence in
the case of Kehoe was conflicting, and the ac-
cused produced witnesses who gave him an excel
lent character for peaceabeness, sobriety and in
dustry, whereupon the jury, after twenty minutes
deGberation returned verdict of not guilty. Judge
Russell then suggested that Hayes be discharged
on his own recognizances, being of opinion that it
would be useless to try him on the evidence ad-
duced.
