THE CASES AGAINST GEN. BRADY.
Proceedings Before Justice WyIie in
tho Criminal Court C0.dnY.

tho Criminal Court To-day.
After Justice Wylie had concluded with
the examination of jurors as to their quail
fcations this morning, in the Criminal
Court, Mr.. A. B. Williams said that General
Brady was in court and prepared to give
bail in the two additional cases against
him.
The counsel said that the indictment
found in March, 1882, was superseded by
that Of the ensuing May, and General
Brady was under $4,000 bail in each case.
In the matter of the latter indictment, he
supposed that the verdict Of acquittal dis
charged that bond. These two indictments
were substantially the same.
"I thought" said the Judge, "that in
dictment had been disposed Of"
"No, sir" said Mr.. Carpenter. 1t
stands just the same. 1t was promised, at
the beginning of the last trial, that it
should be dismissed, but nothing has beon
done with It,"
Mr.. Ker said that the indictment was al
most identical with the one on which the
parties had been tried. This action was
sprung upon him suddenly. Mr. Merrick
was not in the city, but would be here next
Saturday, when the matter could be dis
posed of.
His Honor said that he understood that
at the outset of the trial the Government
had been called upon to elect under which
Indictment they would proceed to trial,
and they did so elect. He thought that
the other indictment should be abandoned
Mr.. Ker said that there was no purpose
of the Government to try under it. If the
Court thought that 1t should be dismissed
he should not object.
His Honor thought it ought to be dis
missed. They could plead the verdict in
the other case, and he did not know but it
would be good plea. If, however, Mr..
Ker did not feel like taking action in the
absence of his associates, the Court said the
further consideration of the matter had
better 60 over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Ker preferred that Mr.. Merrick
should be in court, and did not like to take
the action without consulting him. He
called the attention of His Honor to the
last two indictments found against Gen.
| eral Brady, and asked that he give bail on
| them.
"What amount of bail do you want ??
asked the Judge.
| II am satisfied with any amount" said
Mr.. Ker, chat the Court may fix"
Make it $10,000," put in District-At-
torney Corkhill.
"What is the charger" asked the Judge
~ think it is the same in both indct-
ments," said Mr.. Williams, "but differently
stated"
Mr.. Ker said that the charges were en-.
tirely different, and that bail IN one case
would not be any surety in the other.
Mr.. Williams called the attention of the
Court to the fact that General Brady was
under bond in that Court in the sum Of
100000, and with the discharging of the
$4,000 in the first case there would be $40,
coo still standing, and he thought to ask
$4,000 additional in each of these two
cases was to make it exorbitant.
Further discussion ensued, when 1t was
decided that the bail should be set at the
above amount in each case and be given or
Saturday next.
Subsequently General Brady, accompa-
MED by his bondsman, Colonel N. w. Fitz-
| gerald, came into court prepared to give
his bail, but the judge not being present
| it went over.
