Where Does the Money G0s
The only case Of interest heard by this Board yes
terday was that Of william Mckinney, who claims
$l,s6S for serving summonses from the Corporation
Attorneys office from April II to December 1866.
Mr. Mckinney received some money during the time.
but how much he could not exactly tell. He had
sighed eighteen bills one morning and had given
them TO Mr.. Hunt, then assistant in the Corporation
Attorneys office, and was told by Mr.. Hunt that
there were over So 900 due him (Mr NICK at that time,
but he never received one cent account OF those
bills which he had received Mr.. Dean opposed the
claim on behalf OF the city, and put In evidence
statements OF records and vouchers In the Comp
trolier's Office, which show that the sum or 81, 233
mad been paid on recelpted bills from Mckinney for
serving summonses during the precise time for which
ne now claimed 81, $l,S63-making thus for serving
eummonses for the Corporation Attorneys office for
little less than nine months, the total OF $4,098
McKnney's counsel put In the plea that IL might be
question OF law whether the. CITY was empowered
to pay anybody other than Mckinney for services
performed by him, but he was met with an oppos.
ing point OF law TO the effect that the attaches OF
the Corporation Attorneys office were employed by
the Attorney, and not by the city, and that they
should look to him for payment as the city allowed
Nun certain sum from which to pay them, and that
as the money had been drawn and vouchers for the

very questionable whether Mckinney could recover

great hopes of finding out the robbers by a simple
