Mr.. DAVIS offered preamble and resolu-
ton setting forth that whereas VIM. Ec-
cles, chief Of the Fire Department, had
been put to great. expense in defending
himself from groundless charges, OF which
he was acquitted, therefore the sum OF $l25
be appropriated to pay the expenses OF his
attorneys.
Mr.. Davis made fiery speech in support
of this resolution, saying the charges were
brought in malice and the same charges
could be made against him or any other
officer.

ting off debate, and Mr.. Kimberly de-
manded the ayes and noes. When his

he could scarcely speak, and rising, said he
desired to explain his vote.
Mr.. Scott welded the gavel vigorously,
but the Manchestrian did not heed and
went on with his speech. First he de-
nounced any motion to table and cut off
debate on so serious question. Here was
man who had been bounded down and
made to undergo this heavy expense all for
malice. Nothing was in the charges and
the finding was ANONYMOUSLY thrown out
of the First Branch, and now to refund the
cost to Mr.. Eccles was an act OF simple
justice.
BY a vote of 10 to 3. however, the Branch
deposited the resolution GU the table and
then adjourned.
The First Branch concurred in every
thing from down stairs, and transacted no
new business Of public interest.
