At the License Bureau In the Mayors once the
cases which came before Marshal rooker, although
not very numerous, were interesting and Important.
The greater portion OF the time occupied in TAX
ing testimony and summing up IN the case OF Mrs.
Keating versus Wilson, Green Co. The latter are
PAwNBRoKERs,
and carry on their business at No. 1s1 Bowery The
complaint was fully stated in the HERALD few days
since. From the statements made by the complainant
1t appears that certain goods which belonged to her
were pawned by her sister at Wilson, Green a Co.'s
store. The ticket was lost and she applied satur.
day evening" nth ult.. for stop ticket but the store
folks were too busy attend to her and told her call
again on Monday morning She called as requested
and was told the goods had been given out. she
applied at the Mayors once and made the conf
plant The Investigation was met by Green with
peculiar Indifference, ana ON saturday, 2sth ult.,
that Green had called at her house ana offered TO
settle with her Tor thirty dollars. Green was sent
Mrs Heating informed Marshal Tocker that sne had
found the ticket In the pocket Of a chlld's dress
which she had been washing. The statement about
Green calling on her was most emphatcally denied,
although she was corroborated by her sister, who
stated She had admitted MIR. Green when he called,
and by an old lady named McEyoy, who was in the
room at the time IL was alleged that Green called.
The ticket which Mira keating presented TO
the Marshal the defendants asserted was an
which were deposited with them on the Goth ult.
ana on which 81 rs had been loaned. Yesterday
the principal ana assistants from the pawnbroker's
once, together with counsel, appeared at the
Mayors Once, and succeeded In making out very
good case. They had the original ticket for the
goods for which the complainant made the demand,
and they had also the goods with duplicate ticket
for the second batch, wnich had been pawned on
the 26th. The duplicate ticket was al : ost fac
sirpne Of the ticket which had been lett with the
Marshal before the alterations had been made. The
last mentioned ticket was so much plotted aud
scratched as TO do away with the idea that pawn
broker had ever allowed 4 TO leave his store IN such
q condition. They have plenty OF blank tickets, and
n would be far easier to make out am entirely new
| ticket than do half the erasing and altering
| winch were apparent on the ticket presented. The
pledge book OF the establishment WAS produced be-
| fore the Marshal, and everything In the book APP
peared to be correct and bore out the defence IN
every particular except that OF Mr.. Green's calling
on the complainant to settle the matter. In this re-
gard Green averred that he did not know where the
woman lived except that II was In Mott street aud
plainant and her sister positively asserted that they
| did not know anything about the goods pawncd on
the goth. and had never seen them before they
exhibited at the Mayors once. The Is at pres
ent rather complicated and involves a question of
veracity, which Marshal Tooker felt under the cir
! cumstanccs, delicate about deciding until he had
given the matter full reflection. Decision reserved.
