drawer with a knife, clutch the pocketbook therein,
and retreat before OF the family who were In the

now THE DEvIIN CONTRACT WAS ORIGINALLY
OBTAINED.
The suit Of Charles Devln against the
Mayor and others, in which the final arguments have
Just been completed In the General Term of the Court OF
Common Pleas has been before the courts for several
years. 1t grows out OF the old Hackey contract for
cleaning the streets made In 1851 for which $4,000 per
year was to 10 paid. In the original trial. Mr. Hackey
gave his testimony and in the OF his examination
let out one OF the secrets OF the management
OF such affairs in those days. While he was
trying to get tho contract. he said, he received
an anonymous letter Informing him that IL he would
deposit $4,000 in q certain his contract would be
assured. He did Though there no one In the
room at the time, his contract confirmed that very
dav and signed the next day by Fernando Wood, as
Mayor Soon after the contract was obtained. 1t was
assigned by Hackley to various persons, Devn among
Them his proportion being about an eighth GA May TO-
1862 the broken by the city, on the ground
that the work was not being done properly. The en-
ploy6s were removed forc!bly from their work
The present suit was brought by Charles Devln alone
the recipients Of other portions OF the contract having
been unwilling to Join him. Through some provision of
the law they made codefendans withlthe city, but
will nevertheless share in the benefits Of decision in
Deylin's favor. Dsvln claimed damages for work
already done for about $4,000 and also for the prons
that he would have mace during the Two wears anu
nlnc months that remained Of the contract. The case
was sent before referee me witnesses IVr WIG
rwonid have been from $l5S2OO to s2jOIOO per
wear. Tho direct PROFITS Of the contract, ACCORDING
10 the lowest estimate were. per year. SI32OOi income
from manure, $4,000; from garbage aud asnes S,oW;
from private garbage aud ashes, Sl2C0, making toal
Of $5j eco III the larger estimate the profits IRON me
same Items were placed respectively at S7oOOO $4,000
100000 and Sl24J9; altogether amounting 10 SoO4oO
Another item testimony that the value OF inc
contract each year. aud that in the last year
nearly the cutre amount paid by the city would De
clear profit. The referee found the amount or damage
on the whole contract to be S400S3o 90 and Judgment
was entered, upon the referees report ior hat sum
with Interest and expenses, amounting TO S49!jo o.
From TINS decision appeal was taken TO the Gcnera
Term OF the Court Of Common Pleas, where the argu
meuis have iu~tshcen finished. The position taken by
the appellants is that the referee erred in not hnilng
that contract originally fraudulent, that II was
not fulfilled that therefore the city had right TO
break IL aid and more than that could recover as
counter claim all that due the time and not yet
paid Tie papers were taken by the Court and decision
reserved Tails Will probably be made public early next
month J. j. Mar.in l. {. CTOnlu, and Luther r. Marsh
appeared for Dcvin, and the Assistant Corporation
