The Cry OF Comptroller Green IL "Stil
They Come"-Contingent Expenses I'm
the Department OF Buildings.
Applications for mandamuses against the Comp
troer continue to be made, and 1t seems as II
there would be no end to them. Last in the list
thus far was an application yesterday before Judge
Fancher, OF the Supreme Court, Chambers, for .
peremptory mandamus against Comptroller Green,
requiring him to pay Nathaniel Cornell for q
months work as special Inspector in the De-
partment OF Public Buildings Mr. Lawrence, IN
support ofthe application read the afndavit OF Mr..
Macgregor at the head OF the department, setting
forth the work he was appointed to do, and
another from Mr.. Cornell stating that ne had duly
performed the work and that the Comptroller had
refused to pay him.
Mr.. Dean on behalf OF the Comptroller, said that
there was no appropriation from which the claim
could be paid. He added that the appropriation,
amounting to $50 0OO for salaries In this department.
would only cover the pay Of those whose names are
now on the pay roll.
Mr.. Lawrence-The money for this claim Is to
come from the appropriation to contingent ex-
penses OF which fund there are $l7, 100 now IN the
C0mptr0ler's hands.
Mr.. Dean-This is seeking the payment Of
salary under the
GUIsE OF CONTINGENT EXPENSES.
The sum asked for Is $50 49, being the months pay
Of 81, 900 salary.
Mr.. Lawrence cited from the charter in substan.
tiati0n Of the point he raised.
Judge Fancher, after some additional argument,
granted the application.

Before Judge Moore and Associates.
Policeman Clarence Beecher, Of the Eighth pre-.
cinct, was tried yesterday for shooting John Long,

on e hey sa%
that they were followed by the oficers. Arrived at
the house, Mrs. Longs husband joined
came up. Beecher told Mrs. Long that
he wanted her to go to the station
the reason, and told Beecher that If he took his
wife he would have to take him also. After some
further parley Mrs. Long retreated to the house.
and row occurred between the two Longs and
the officers. Sergeant See in raising his club lost
his grasp on the weapon and it few behind him.
Some one cried, "Get that club" but In an instant
Beecher darted for it, secured 1t and returned 1t to
See. moment thereafter the shooting occurred
Long the injured man, said he was shot as he was
going into his house. Beecher's story was that he
was deprived OF his club and forced down on his
knees and fearing further violence, drew his
pistol and fired. At that time Long was In
ffont OF him. Long was but slightly Injured
Information OF the encounter having been sent to
the station house force was sent down to the
house, and all the Longs were arrested. The clubs
OF the two officers and Sergeant Sees cap, which
were lost during the melee, were found under bed.
See and Beecher were subsequently tried before
the Police Commissioners and dismissed the force.
Beecher, however, has since been reinstated.
The Longs when on the stand yesterday were
questioned by counsel for defence whether they
did not make 1t practice to go to this lot in ques-
tion, which was resort for improper purposes,
with night glasses, In order to spy out what par
ties might be there They replied in the negative
and the defence offered to prove that they did, but

The most interesting case on yesterdays calcn-

preferred against rough-looking fellow named
James Farrell, alias James Mcclure. II only took
few moments to try the case, the main witness
being Mr.. Geo. c. Field who resides with his family
at 3I6 East Fortysecond street. He testified that he
had locked up his house on the night OF the 18th
OF October, and was about retiring, when he heard
pane of glass break. Upon looking out OF the
window he saw man working. at the basement
window. Mr.. Field hall0oed at him and he ran up
the hill short time afterwards Mr.. Field went
down to his mothers room and looked
out OF the window, when to his surprise he
saw the man had returned and succeeded in get

Bitten by a Horse-Action for Damages.
Judgment for the Defendant.
Before Judge Joachimsen.
August Supp Vs. Andrew Martin.-The plaintir
sued the defendant to recover damages for injuries
inflicted upon his daughter by the defendants
horse having bit her. 1t appeared that the horse
was standing in front Of the defendants store, and
of the street to the store OF the defendant,
she. on leaving the store to recross
the street passed under the horses head when
timony, on the part OF the plaintiff as testified by
the little girl was that, as she passed the horses
timony, on the part OF the defence, was that the
horse was standing with feed bag around his
little girl excited him by tickling him with a
SWITCH when he suddenly raised his head and she
fell and injured herself upon the railroad that the
habits and temper OF the horse were gentle and he
that occasion he could not bite, being
muzzled with the feed bag. After the testimony
was closed, the Court delivered the following
opinion -
Judge Joachlmsen decided that the allegation
as to the DEFENDANTS knowledge of the habits Of
the horse had been distinctly dlsproved. The de-
fendant testified that at the time OF the accident
bag over his nose, out OF which lie feeding and
that he was In near proximity to. him, in all OF
nesses. In my judgment he was sufliciently close
to him to entirely control him. The remainder OF
the case is disposed Of by the ruling OF the Supreme
Comstock, page 5l5). The defendant's animal
was not committing any trespass. (See Dixon vs.
Mccoy, 80 N. Y. Reps, page 4O0.) There must
be Judgment for the defendant. with costs and s25
allowance.
Another Case OF Biting-The Plaintiff
NOnsuited.
Zeige VS.. walter.-In this case the plaintiff sought
to for injuries to his infant daughter re.
sulting from the bite Of a uog alleged to be the
property OF the defendant. The testimony on the
part OF the defence was that the dog was the
property of the DEFENDANTS wife. At the close of
the testimony q motion for nOlsuit was made,
on the ground that the dog was the separate prop
erty OF the wife OF the defendant, and that the de-
fendant was not responsible. Judge J0achimsen
said 1T has been proved In the course OF the trial
that the dog was the property o. the defendants
wife. will hold, under decisions OF the Court OF
Appeals under the married Women's acts OF 1850
and 1862, that the common law sliabty OF hus-
bandn no longer exists, except for torts personal
OF the wife; but that for torts committed by her
separate property she, and she only, is liable. /
viii therefore nonsuit the plaintiff.
