4 eONTRACT FOR USE or TNIL UENCE TOID

SUIT FOR THE VALUE OF SERVICES IN PROCURING
LEASE FROM THE DOCK COMMISSIONERS.
| In the case of William j. Pease against Maui
rice j. Walsh Judge Van Worst, in Superior Court Special
Term decides that "a contract to Use influence with
public officer is void and that s successful use gives no
claim on person benefited. The plaintiffs complaint
states that he was employed by the defendant prom
ise Of II 900 II lie succeeded TO bis influence with
The Department OF Docks, il such manner he might
see fit and proper procure Piers Nos. 81 and 5 NJ r.
for the White star line Of steamers at as low rcnt rs
$50 oOO for year. The plaintiff claims 10 have 40
used his influence with the Commissioners, and to have
had many interviews with of them, until
lease obtained at $45 600 for year with pfv
lege of renewal for Is years
Judge Worst says the complaint does not show the
plaintiffs business profession that the services
10 be rendered by him were those OF lawyer AGENT or
person u.o,eu 70 any ep n se pnct,"n 6sciosd
may he garded either az sale 81 the 1lins infi-
one Of the members of tie Dock Commieaon The pay

since The lease was obtained al s. 900 less than the
fendant wiling to pay, and Oi fiteen wears instead

bcTs 10 yield to such Suggestions and t,lOw loose
rein on such practices would had the sacrifice OF pub
lie and private interests and morals How such liii-
ence through one all the members Of iLe Com
mission could be exercised IN truly Useful manner
Judge Van Worst then points out that, except in the
OF districts appointed for special kinds commerce. the
Dock Department only lease the highest bidder, at
public auction, for 10 years, with right OF renewal and
determined ly the impartial judgment oi the Commits
sioncrs and not TO be swGyed or controlled by the ,-
ence OF "a person Interested in procuring lease for
particular steamship line Any secret influence OF tins
kind could not fail 10 be pernicious
Judge Van Worst cites at length authorities TO show
that contracts such this are Illegal and rs question
comes before him on the defendants demurrer to te

HEILsHoRN VS.. BECKER. In all
law suits some one is certain to be
surprised at the result. This is
inevitable. as both plaintiff and
defendant have hopes that nothing
but a decision or a verdict can
remove. The case which heads
this item has caused as much local
comment as any that has yet come
under our notice. The action was
brought by Charley Heilshorn, an
infant in law, by his guardian,
against Claus Becker, to recover
five thousand dollars damages for
alleged defamation of character.
The case came up in the District
Court of Lyon county, at Dayton.
on Wednesday. before a jury and
Judge Seawell, and occupied the
time of the session until Thursday
afternoon, when a verdict was
agreed upon and given to the
Court. 1t is probably one Of the
queerest jury decisions on the
records of the Court. 1t reads
substantially, that I'VE the jury
find the defendant guilty as
charged, and assess the damages to
plaintiff at one dollar in United
States gold coin" 1t is under
stood that for long time q major
ity Of the jury were for acquistal.
bnt were finally brought to an
agreement on the plea that such a
decision would leave the charge of
theft upon the reputation of the
plaintiff, and to remove this stig-
ma from young Hoilshorn, and ut
the same time practically exonera,e
Mr.. Becker from the charge of the
complaint, the damages were fixed
at one dollar. This makes the
reputation of Heilshorn nll right
again, settles an unpleasant con-
troversy, teaches the world that
conversation should he guarded by
sober second thought, and that
recourse to the law to assuage an
injury sometimes inflicts additional
misery.
