An original order OF arrest, dated October rs,
1871 offered in evidence by Mr. Burrill for the
arrest OF "these parties, including Garvey," and
bail liked at 81, 900 900. The prosecution objected
to II.
Judge Davis did not see the competency Of II.
Mr.. Field said 1t would show there were two suits
against Mr.. Tweed to recover any money unlaw-
fully taken from the city, II any, which counsel de-
MED and that the people had ample remedy, and
that there were thirteen indictments, and that
suits were brought on afidavits one by Mr.. Tilden,
for recovery Of $500 900.
In reply to a remark from Mr.. Trema1n Mr. Field
said another defence would be that on Garveys
own testimony Mr.. Tweed has millions enough to
satisfy all claims.
Mr.. BurriIl said he offered to prove the order of
arrest. and that II Was issued after Garvey came
back.
Judge Davis-It is totally irrelevant.
