MAYOR HALLS TRIAL.
In the trial of Mayor Hall to-day, Mr. Tre-
maine, on behalf Of the prosecution, addressed
the Court. At the conclusion Of his remarks,
Judge Brady charged the jury. Hesaid, though
the proceeding was against q person holding
high position, it should be disposed Of precisely
as any other case according to law and evidence.
Of All the evidence you are not satisfied that
there was no audit, the case fails on the charge
f there 1'sisss; was in Tact no audit, then
there is another question to be considered, was
for intention forms an essential element in the
case. The law declares that the neglect must
be Intentional not arising from carelessne5s OF
Misrepresentation, and that is to be determined
By evidence. II, on consideration Of all the eVi-
dence, you come to the conclusion that there
was wilfu and Intentional neglect, involving
an active operation Of the mind, - I will not do
it,-you must convict on the first charge. With
regard to the second charge, wi1fully abusing or
corruptibly performing his Office, two things a are
ing - vith sa such oxiedge: znd tt this also
is . question Of fact for you to deter
mine. We must start from the con-
sideration that the presumption is
that he acted justly until the contrary is proved:
This charge is not for mere ministerial net, but
discretionary one to great extent. On what
evidence does it rest The falsity Of claims and
the testimony, chiefly, Of Carney, consisting Of
conversations with the accused, which it Is said
to have bearing on the question. These men
are identified with the schemes OF plumber, and
some Of them participators OF it, and the eyi-
dence Of q man participating in profits should be
received with caution, and the jury nustatake in
to account all the surroundings and the inherent
occupies, and say whether, from all these,
eo1elusion. eons HE Courts baye REGARDED eonver
sations as dangerous species OF evidence even
when proved BY honest witnesses, nevertheless
they are to be considered with the other facts
and circumstances. Proof to establish the
charge Of corruption should not be vague and
indefinite. leave to you to dispose Of fearless1y
aud justly the point whether you have heard
evidence enough to satisfy yon Of the truth OF

Of others, unless they are found to be connected
With his. If you entertain any Tational nal; doubt, b
the prisoner is eqtit1ed to r. TIE grana e1e.
.4oa,t Of criminal Law is that guilt may be
established by circumstantial as we'll aa direct
evidence. IT you believe the accused knew the
claims to be false, and certified to them, you
must convict him on the second charge. .,Ap-
proach the consideration Of these questions
fearlessly: II you believe the accused guilty,
say 80 !; if not acquit him"

ally stormy session Was held until O'Clock,
