GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Police to
| whom was referred the communication from
his Honor the Mayor, reporting the suspen-
sion Of Patrolman Thos. Nc Mahon, from The
2 tn day of september to the 9th day of De-
| cember, 1881, beg leave 10 report: That they
have carefully considered The testimony trans
mitted with such communlcat on, and are of
opinion that the same discloses conduct on
the part OF Mr.. Mcmahon unbecoming DO
lice officer, and that the ayor was justified
| merited
We find In the case some mitigating cir.
cum-tances, however, which probably were
not brought 10 the Mayors attention, and,
all things considered, are of opinion that the
| sentence imposed was rather more severe than
the officer warranted. We believe that the
Council should earnestly cooperate with the
Mayor in everything which will tend to secure
| well decipline1 and efficient police force, and
that as rule sentences for official misconduct
imposed by him should be rigidly enforce
Nor do we recommend any deviation from the
rule in this care, except as to the severity OF
the ntence. We believe that sub-tan,ial
Justice will be done, by restoring Mr.. Nc
Mahon 10 his pos ton in the police force az
of this date, and thai he 'eceive no compensa.
lion Tor the time he has teen SO suspended, TO-
wit: From The 9th day of September until
the LIST OF November, 1881 and with This mod
ificstion we recommend that the action of the
Mayor in the premises be concur d in.
