PETER SHERIDAN, EsQ
 Dear Sir-In reply to your note asking my opinion as to the submission of your cause tothe Police Commissioners as per MT. Sloat's notice of this date, would say: While I deem it advisable for you to secure full and public investigation of those charges st the earliest possible moment, I am not at all cer- tain of the expediency of this manner of doing it.
 With one exception every member of the commission has already decided the case against you and committed himself by that decision to an adverse judgment in the fu- ture. True the conclusion was arrived at without any informal inquiry and apparent ly without any sworn-testimon but would not receive them as jurors under such circum- stances and cannot advise you to accept them as judges, especially as no appeal lies from their decision. Then again two of them are witnesses against you, and, no matter what the evidence might be, could not de- eide in your favor without conyicting them selves of falsehood.
 This you can hardly expect them to do.
 Under these conditions see no possibility of your now having fair trial, and much as it is to be regretted that the nasty action of the commissioners has placed you in this di- lemma it seems foolish now to look to them for justice. Yours, &c.,

w. c. ROBINSON.

The motion to appoint Commissioners Hart and O'Brien a committee to give what evidence they have to the prosecuting attor- ney was made by Coroner Boliman. His reason for so doing, he stated, was that he had been informed by the attorney that he had heard some things about MT. Sheridan, but knew nothing authoritatively. He thought it was their duty to tell what they knew against the ex-captain. Commis- sioner Hart did not favor the motion. He said he was willing to let the matter rest where it was and also to bear the responsibility which the public may want to heap on the commission CTS. Commissioner O'Brien did not favor the motion on account of the ground he had taken in the previous mseting. He thought Captain Sheridan's disgrace was 8 sufficient punishment. He said the public was little excited over this matter. Commissioner Sloat seconded the motion and spoke in fa- vor of it, He thought 8 public trial should be given MT. Sheridan if he wanted it. Once during the evening Commissioner Sheldon broke the silence by saying that he favored the motion and giving his reasons The public will await developments with consid- erable interest It is hinted that there is more evidence than that which the commis- sioners have. MT. Sheridan's friends scout the idea.

The horse is a noble animal and one of the best friends of man. Yet no man wants even his best friend to kick him in the back. MT Libby of Lo ell, Mass, received such 8 kick from a horse in 1865.

 Peter Shei ida n Before the Prosecuting
 AttOrney-Judge RobtnsOn's Letter.
 The bill of Dennis Tobin of $380 for an ambulance without a stretcker was approved by the Police Commissioners last Saturday evening at their special meeting, and Com missioners Hart and O'Brien were appointed a committee to lay before the prosecuting attorney such evidence as they have which tends to convict Peter Sheridan of any crime. The commissioners determined that it was time to have the matter settled with little more defniteness than it stands now and give MT. Sherida2 the opportunity of vindi- eating himself which he desires. The sub ject was introduced before the commissioners by Clerk Pigott, who read the following let ters:
