TWEED
was brought into the court of Oyer and Termi-
miner this morning for sentence. large
crowd filled the corridors and room. Graham,
Tweed's counsel, arose and commenced his ar
gument on the motion for arrest Of judgment.
His point is that the act of 1870, creating the
board of audit, under which the crimes charged
against Tweed were committed was uncOnstitu-
ional, and therefore no legal offence had been
committed. Moreover thts the court has no
jurisdiction. In fact the act of 1870 was re-
remarked as to the law of 1873, abolish
ing the act of 1870, he would be slow 20
hold that it wiped out a pending Indictment.
The court held that whether the Office held by
Tweed was abolished or not the prisoner was
liable for offences committed, nor couid II
agree that IL was without Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Tremaine then arose and asked Tor the
passage of Judgment on the verdict They ask
for a distinct Judgment on each count. Inc
conviction was for 81 claims, embracing 20
counts. The four charges in the Indictment
embrace two oflenses.
