from his beat for about two hours on two several
occasions, without orders The president re-
marked that the parties accused in the other
cases had all been suspended, but in this case he
had not suspended, because it was possible Mr..
MOlloy might have absented himself temporarily
to make an arrest or perform some other special

The case Of officer A. votrain, suspended on a
charge Of being asleep on his beat, was deferred
till the next meeting of the board, the officer pre-
terrns the charge not being present.

1gb OIlGCI Ou ItDA al sLIEEl, DeLW8en orleans ana
Esplanade streets for two months, upon com
plant OF having made an arrest for misdemeanor,

seasOnahle hour, was reconsdered, the sentence
was RENTED and blr. Reilly was restored to duty.
The case of officer Archie Boyd, First District,
accused Of shooting at Patrick McGin in his own
premises without cause or justification, which
case was heard at the last meeting of the board
partially, and was continued to hear the evidence
OF Captain Fowler, was resumed. The testimony
of Captain Fowler was taken last evening" 1t did
not alter the aspect Of the case as presented by
the previous evidence, synopsis OF which we
gave On motion Of Mr.. Moore, seconded by Mr.
Conway, the charge was dismissed, and Mr.. BoyG
| was ordered to be restored to duty. Mr.. Lyncl
declined voting, because he was not present at thu
previous examination.
The accusation made by Mr.. John F. Callaghan
| a conductor on the CaTollton Railroad, agalns
officer j. Lillunkr0ht, whose beat is on the upper
part Of Camp street, of arresting him (Callaghan
without cause, was dismissed and the officer wa!
released from suspension. The evidence SHOWED
that Mr.. Lillunkrohn had been directed by hi
superior, Sergeant Adams, to be on the lookou
for suspicious characters, in consequence of sew
eral rOhberies having been committed at night il
the neghbOrh0od. Mr. Callaghan was seated Of
door step between II and l2 o'clock, waiting 70
the Magazine street car, when the officer mad
some inquiries Of him as to his reason for beini
there. These inquiries might not have been mad
in Chesterteldian manner, and Mr.. Callaghal
manifested disposition to answer evasively, j
not defantly. His subsequent conduct influenced
perhaps, by irritation Of temper, induced sus
piclons on the part of the officer, which cause
him to arrest Mr.. Callaghan and take him to tn
lookup. where he remained in confinement unit
the next morning. The board considered that Mr.
C0laghan had reason to feel aggrieved, but just
fed the officer in view Of the circumstances, an
dismissed the charge, Mr.. Lynch dissenting.
Officer James Linden No. so, was dismissed 70
being found asleep in cab off his beat.
