pie by Mr.. Charles o'Conor and his asso-
ciates against william NJ. Tweed, includ-
ed among the defendants James II. Ingersoll,
Tho complaint was served upon Mr.. Tweed in
October His demurrer 10 IL has gone through
the Special and General Terms Of the supreme
Court and is now waiting TO bo heard before
the Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Ingersoll was not
served with the complaint until the latter part
OF the past summer, and Immediately upon this
service his counsel moved 10 strike out more
than une-third OF the complaint a. irrelevant.
The motion was argued before Judge ingalls, in
Albany, In September last, and an order grant
ing the motion has just been entered, Of which
the following Is copy:

CITY it IN the city OF Albany, on the 2'tA day OF Sep

that all the time which las been spent In this
action hitherto. Is lost To the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANTS can demur over again, but this
will occupy another six months before the legal
question can he decided.
