THE HALL TRIAL.


NEW YORK, March 11.-An immense crowd
| endeaVored to obtain Abundance to the common
| pleas court this morning, probably owing to the
| rumOr that Mayor Hall would crOSs-eXamne
| Garvey. The police were called in requisiliOn
before order could be restored After the general
term had been opened and adjourned to the FIRST
| Monday in Nav, the court OF general sessions
then opened for the trial Of Mayor Hall. Upon
calling the roll Of jurors, one Of them was found
to be absent.
Acertllicate was read from physician, stating
that it would endunger the life OF the juror to at
tend for several days. After some debate by
counsel, Judge DAILY adjourned the court till Fri
day morning. The physician states that Mr..
Clark. the sick juror is suffering from great ncr-
vOus prostration, and having had an attach Of pa
ray>is two years AGO, he urges that he be entirely
relieved from service on the jury. Tie last Sug-
gestOn of the physician occasiOned the debate
and the court is to have the usual legal inYesti-
CATION on the physical condition Of the juror.
1t is probable that unless Clark is able soon to
resume his seat as juror a new jury will have
to be empanneled in Mayor Halls case, as the
court of appeals has decided that a criminal
trial cannot 20 on with eleven Jurors.

whose houses he flied with costly furniture

lilden states that only a very small portion OF
the evidence against the "rng" has ever been
published, and he has accumulated five bushels
of evidence against Tweed. He says Charles
O'ConOr will be ready next week to resume his

presents peculiar situation. Its chief magis-
trate is on trial; its law Officers under suS-
piciOn; its police without the confidence Of the
people, its highest judges under investigation.
