TWEED's BAIL.

Everything satisfactory, Except that "Youna

Judge Cardozo.
The matter of the 81, 900 900 bail required OF VIII
liam NJ. Tweed has At length reached dua, and-
no doubt to the parties mostly concerned, satsiac
tory conclusion. Judge Cardozo, OF the Supreme
Court yesterday accepted the sureties offered. He
exacts as to young .Dck" Tweed, however, the con-
dition that he record the deeds OF the property
transferred TO him by his father. Accompanying
the decision was the following

The otner point suggested for my Consideration IA
based upon the objection that the property which
young MI. IWeeu OWNS was acquired Oy 9tfv from
his father. The learned counsel cited no authority
against his competency on that ground, and have
not ml selr been able TO find any, although have
looked very carefully There seems to be no doubt
but the gifts are absolute, and that the title has
vested IN Mr.. Tweed the younger. do not see ar.
ter very careful rejection, that the fact that the
title was acquired. by gift makes any difference

Is no less true as respects any other
person who becomes BAH for another and
have no right to assume that he VINO stands before
me as Young man who must believe to be OF GOOD
characterbecause the counsel had right 10 show
the reverse II II were true, and they have not at
tempted TO do s0--means to do disnOnorable thing
or TO dispose OF hts property In any other than q
legitimate manner and for proper consideration
which. as have before remarked. Is what any one
else might DO. The possibility that surcties may
ai or dispose OF their property Is risk incident
taking ball at all but 1t Is risk that the law says
must be borne. think the sureties Justify within
the requirements OF the statute. They are 'resi-
dents aud either nousehoders or freeholders In
TINS state" and the "whole Justification Is equiva-
lent TO that OF two sufficent bail' In the required
amount and therefore IL Is my duty TO approve the
undertaking. But before doing so think have
the right and ought TO require that all the deeds not
yet recorded should be left at the Registers once
the undertaking.
The last provision has been complied with and the
deeds placed on record in the Registers ONCE The
Undertaking has also been approved. Mr.. Millard
