The calendar yesterday was very large Assistant

for the prosecution.
Charles A. Allen, who was charged with burglari-
ously entering the carpenters shop OF Richard Ryan,
No. Lispenard street, on the 18th Of March, and
stealing thirty dollars worth Of TOOLS pleaded guilty
to an attempt at burglary. As there were mitigating
circumstances the Judge sent Allen to the Peniten-
tlary for one year.
Henry clifford, who stole eighty dollars in English
gold coin, on the l4th OF November, from Wm.
Mcdonald, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand
larceny. Assistant District Attorney Hutchings con-
sented, with his Honor's concurrence, that judg.
ment should be suspended on condition that the
money should be returned. The defendant had
family, and as that was his first offence the Judge
consented to give him o chance TO redeem himself
by suspending sentence.

Liability Of the City for the Condition Of It's
Streets.
Aletta BrOtcner rs The Mayor, &c.-This was q
suit in almost every respect like one recently tried
in the Common Pleas. The plaintiff, lady living
on vandam street, came on an accumulation OF ice
the result OF water running from an alley way. The
ice opposite the premises No. 6s vandam street.
The plaintiff slipped on 1t, broke her thigh and was
laid up for many months.
The ice extended across the sidewalk, ana had
been there for several days before the 26th Of Janu
ary. 1885, when the accident occurred. Recorder
Hackett at the close OF the plaintiffs case, moved
to dismiss 1t the ground that the owners Of the
adjacent property and not the city, were curators OF
the sidewalks.
Mr.. Darlington, for plaintiff, contended that the
duty OF keeping the streets in order rested perma
nanfly the city, and though they could cali in the
aid Of the property owners they could not thereby
release themselves from liability.
The Court thought the city not liable, but In view
OF the harshps OF the case permitted to go to the
general term, to be heard exceptions In the first
instance, without costs and without security.
Mr.. Darlington for plaintir; Mr.. John X. Hackett
for defendant.

that he will not withhold his opinion on ques-

One of our contemporaries makes a loud
claim to credit for having on the Sd inst. re-
vealed the plan of negotiations for the pur-
chase of Cuba, whereas on the I'd inst. the
nature of those negotiations was for the first
time reported in these columns. Span how
ever, has lately made denial of having enter
tanned the aforesaid plan, and it is
now disbelieved that the United
States have actually made proposals to that
effect. But we hold it credible that the
United States have been willing to offer their
friendly offices, and that Cuba is ready to pay
Spain reasonable sum for the public property
of the island. We are not assured that the
United States are disposed to pay one hundred
millions less for the island, or that the French
Pays is authority on the subject.
