of Collector BaiIcy's Cases.
Before Commissioner Osborn.
The Caisd States cs. Willans w. Fleiss.-The de-
fendant Ia wholesale liquor dealer, and Is charged
with having made false return Of hts income for
the year 1868. The examination was resumed yes
terday, before Commissioner Osborn, for the third
time. The only evidence odered by the government
on part cf the prosecution that OF the Asss-
tant Assessor, one Hayward, who deposed that, ac-
cordIng TO his calculations, there was discrepancy
between the amount OF thereturn OF income and the
amount as shown by the lclendants books. A
question arose as to the production OF the books,
wnen II appeared that they nad been seized by Hay
ward and lett in the possession OF a receiver, Mr..
Tney VINO had been engaged IN closing up the busl-
ness oi the firm OF Feiss Myers BY order OF Col
eetor Bailey two keepers LEFT in the custody OF
the books and they had instructions 20 let nothing
goln or out or the premises III which the books were
placed-Tnney's office ~ Bridge street. The de-
Icndant has made astatement to the Commissioner
tu the eect that The books are most essential 10 the
closing up OF his onslness Lhat as soon as ne lonnd
they were Ia the possession or Mr. Bailey ne de-
nanded them back, Mr. Bailey assuring him mat ne
should have them; but, as he states, he has never
since received them. Yesterday when tne case was
again called on, the Assistant District Attorney,
MIR. Jackson, stated tnat he had been requested
by Collector Bailey to ask an adjournment on the
ground tnai Collector was IN possession OF evil
dence 10 show that the books had been lett Ia the
DEFENDANTS possession.

resisted the adjournment observing that there was
no more reason Tor postponing It then than there
was the day before. IL was, counsel contenued,
gross wrong that a respectable citizen ana mer-
cnant OF New York as Mr. Fleiss was should be
kept coming here day after day with charge OF
this character hanging over his head merely 70 sut
the convenience OF Mr.. Bailey who, If he had evil
dence sustain the charge would lay 1t before the
Court without delay. He (Mr. Courtney did not
accuse Mr.. Bailey having personally detained the
books Dut IN all probability they were either lost
or destroyed bY the Keepers VINO mad bcen put IN
charge OF them, and those were MIR. Bailey's sub
ordnates. The Commissioner stated that as the
matter raised question as 10 the possession OF the
books he would adjourn the case TILL 10 morrow, at
