City yesterday, before Judge Knapp. The Court
denied the motion to quash the Indictment
and the ontirc day was consumed by

defence, who argued that even though Mr. Hastcd
did sign tho resolution Tor the payment $780, 600
when there appropriation he not amc nab
TO the law. Mr.. Pitney, IN his argument, insisted
that guilt could be proved, but Judge Knapp re.
minded MIN that the Freeholdcrs who voted Tor tho

that Mr.. Halsed was not a member OF the Board
Of Frcehoiders. but hold a distinctive Office.
with peculiar duties ana rcsponsbilitos, was not
tensble, for u required consen, TO consumrnato
any aci OF the Board. II was narrow construction
