Justice Plant Once More-lIe Gives JadG-
mcnt Asniust the Party Having the Money
TO Pay the Cests-lBoss Engineers the Ex O.
cutien-C Constable Stuart Only Foil.
The Long committee Of inquiry transacted but
little public business yesterday. Two or three
cases were reported, In which the testimony will
be taken to-day. Some documents were also ex.
amiuei In relation to operations Of collecting
firms Of which one or more Of the members are
constables.
Mr.. Solomon Caro- testified that In February,
1874, his wife sold q white Marseiles dress, which
had been taken In pawn for 81, to 4 colored
woman, who examined II thoroughly before
buying It; she took It at the price advanced upon
II, ~; brought II back next day with rent at the
back; said there was hole In IL, and demanded
the return OF her money: this was refused, when
she left, threatening that she would make them
refund; next day was summoned TO appear be-
fore Justice Plant to answer complaint; on trial
day testified to the facts as related above and told
Plant he would go home and send Mrs. Cafo up TO
give her testimony; he had previously promised
me ! could do this, and As she had previously sold
the dress, wished him to take her testimony as
well as mine; he now said II would not be neces-
sary; asked me how much l thought the dress
was worth; told him that It was bounced and
deliberately trimmed, and that the making alone
had cost at least $40; he said II 1t was worth so
much he would let me Keep II, and rendered
Judgment against me for ~ and costs; went
home, and In less than two hours Constable
stuart and ex-Cons table Boss came In with the
dress and an execution for judgment and costs
amounting to nearly 81, to the best OF my recol.
lection, aud Boss demanded, IN q yery
peremptory AMI arrogant manner. imne-
date PAYMENT knowing that he was
not an otficer and not liking his style, asked him
what he had TO do with Il aud requested him to
leave the store. This he did not like, and when
asked Stuart to walt q few minutes until
could see my counsel, and decide what TO do,
Boss cried ou TO him TO levy on the goods. /
then paid the amount to save further trouble,
IL Is my belief that Justice Plant entered suit
