Inebriateg Home Will Also Re-
csive It's Excise Moneys
Judgment OF Lower Courts Against
Commissioner White Affirmed.

Counsellor James c. Church, of Brook
ivn. was In a h ighly elated state Of
mind to-day over the decision Of the
Court Of Appeals in the matter Of Alfred
r White against the Inebriates Home
Mt New Utrecht. Mr.. Church represented
the Home.
Mr.. White, the new Commissioner Of
Public Works, brought action against
the trustees Of the Home some time ago
recurring them to return $1,000 to the
city of Brooklyn and to restrain the
Comptroller from paying over any more
Excise monies to the Home.
For years the city mas been paying into
the funds of the Home Is per cent. OF
Mr.. White thought the law under which
this money was paid out to be unconsti-
tutional. The matter came up before
the Special and General Terms and the
writs of mandamus were denied.
The Court of Appeals affirms the
judgment of the lower courts, Justice
Gray writes the opinion, which Is con-
Cured in by the entire bench.
In brief, II states that the Home was
the purpose Of receiving and caring for
inebriates entering Voluntarily or by or
der Of the Trustees. In 1887 law was
passed giving the Home Is per cent. Of
the Excise monies Of Brooklyn.
Mr.. White claimed that this law was
repealed in 1888, when Brooklyn received
its new charter.
Justice Gray holds that the Home is
stitution, and not affected by the laws of
1888.
He also holds that there is mo violation
of the constitution, ut rather an effecta-
through a duly authorized instru-
mentality"
