stands, similar orders could be granted
in the cases of Sweeney, Connolly and
the rest Of the ring, who, by this
means, might escape conviction.
Tweed's counsel claim that the has
the same right to be furnished bills of
particulars as in any other case, and
the city, to recover judgment for money
alleged to have been improperly paid
must be specified and the exact
amount proved. The appeal from the
order will be argued at the general
terms next month.
