CRIMINAL COURT, Judge FIsher.-YeSterday,
George Dixon and John Brien was found
guilty Of grand larceny, and sentenced to one
year IN the penitentiary; and ROlIe pros. was
entered in a second.
Hannah Wilson, charged with larceny, was
acquitted.
Henry Fletcher, assault and resisting officer,
guilty, sentenced TO one year; and Henry Lines,
assault with intent TO kill, guilty; three years
This morning, VIM. Wilkinson, colored. was
tried for larceny OF a pocket book and So, the
property OF William Bigfre, an Indian Not
guilty.
Lawrence Miller, larceny OF a coat valued at
So, from Charles NJ. Skippon, Sergeant Of the
9th precinct police. The coat was stolen from
the station house, and is one Of the uniform
coats furnished by the Board of Police. The
prisoner being indicted for stealing a coat the
property Of Chas. NJ. Skippon, Mr.. w. A.
Monroe, for the defence, made the point that
although the sergeant had given his receipt for
the coat yet he was obliged 70 surrender IL TO
the Board Of Police If he shorffd resign or be
dismissed That therefore the coat was the
property Of the United States and not Sergeant
Skippon. and asked a verdict Of acquittal, and
cited authorities TO sustain his position. The
District Attorney dissented, and the court not
being satisfied upon the question OF the police
mans position, whether he is TO be regarded in
the same position legally as servant The
District Attorney argued that there is marked
distinction between the officer and servant ana
read many authorities IN support OF his posi-
ton. The court mentioned the distinguishing
feature in this case from all the cases cited that
the coat was not taken from the manual pos
session Of the sergeant, but from the station
house belonging TO the United States or Metro
poIitan Police, and therefore the jury cannot
Ind the prisoner guilty as indicted. The jury
was instructed and returned verdict OF not
guilty.

THE CIxATURE CoaFoREs on THE RNG.-An
interesting account is given elsewhere IN
to-day's HERALD OF few Of the expenditures
that so 10 swell the taxes Of the city under the
benign rule of the "ring.' Some Of these
items are Of very peculiar description, and
would imply that our city authorities, II gene
rally in favor of taking care Of themselves, are
recklessly needless OF the evils Of dyspepsia.
For instance, we find that the Aldermen who
sit as canvasscrs, demolished in ten days two.
thousand five hundred dollars worth Of food
at the city's expense! We learn that COM
mittee OF the Common Council, at one sitting,
devoured four hundred and fifty dollars
In eatables! And all this time these
imprudent gourmands were riding in car
riages, also at the citys expense to
the tune Of eleven thousand dollars in
twelve months. Street Commissioner Cornell,
who is generally supposed to have run away
from an investigation into his official acts, very
probably drove away instead, since his bill for
carriage hire for the year amounts to the snug
sum Of three hundred and twenty-five dollars,
while Deputy Tweed, who has more flesh to
carry about, puts in his carriage bill at nine
hundred and thirty-eight dollars. IL would
seem from this that the livery men who are for
tunate enough to do the city business, charge
for their loads by weight These "incidentals,"
together with few little items such az $270,OO0
paid to Ed. Jones h Co. for printing, 100000
to other printers, 100000 in judgments against
the city, and such like, serve to show the tax
payers in what pleasant and jovial and
profitable manner their money is spent

who have all in turn been rejected by the
Board of Aldermen. He has set up pin after
pin in tie Street Commissioner alley, and they
have been bowled down one after another by
the aldermanic ball. There are those who
believe that the setter up and the bowlers are
equally well satisfied with the game, and that
there is q thorough understanding betwee0
them. However this may be, the Aldermen
are evidently very hard to please. They have
had some seven or more candidates before
them, representing variety of occupations,
and have not found one to suit their views.
Among the nominees have been q Commits
sioner Of Charities and Corrections an enter
prisiny and successful merchant; q distn-
guished philosopher, statesman and ex-Police
Commissioner; respectable lawyer and
-ex-Judge; colonel and prominent Tam
many politician; stock broker and
rectiGer. There may be something about
Police Commissioner or Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections naturally repugnant
10 the Board of Aldermen, while rectifer
might fairly be considered entitled to their sup
port But since these dignitaries have been
shown up, even in a heavy, sobersided review,
for their independence Of the rules Of grammar
az well as Of the rules Of honesty, they seem to
have grown more than usually fastidious.
The Mayor has now sent in the name OF Hon.
George w. Mclean for the Street Commissions
er's Office. Having tried q number OF Tammany
men, he steps outside into the new democratic
organization and dominates reform democrat
for the position. Mr.. Mclean is one Of the best
and most competent men yet nominated. He
is popular in his district, where he made
good run for the State Senate, is In the prime
of lite, full of vigor and energy, and more
over, right in his politics. But we suppose he
will share the fate Of all who have gone before
him. Indeed, we are inclined to believe II
Mayor Hoffman should call an angel down
from heaven and nominate him for the Office
Of Stree. Commissioners, he would be rejected
by the Board of Aldermen, wings and all.
