BROOKLYN NEWS.
TO KEEP ITS 100000.
Inebriates' Home Will Also Re-
ceive Its Excise Moneys
Judgment of Lower Courts Against
Commissioner White Affirmed.

Counsellor James C. Church, of Brook
lyn, was in 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 lnebriates Home
at 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
requiring them to return 100000 to the
city of Brooklyn ana 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 10 per cent. of
Excise moneys collected in the city.
MIR. White thought the law under which
ms money was paid out to be unconSti-
tutional. The matter came up before
tne Special and General Terms and the
writs of mandamus were denied.
Inc Court OF Appeals arnrms the
Judgment of tn" lower courts. Justice
Gray writes the opinion, which Is con-
Cured IN by the entire bench.
in BRIEF, 1t states that the Home was
Incorporated under the Laws of 1861 for
the purpose of receiving and caring for
inebriates entering voluntarily or by or
der of the Trustees. In 1851 law was
the Excise monies of Brooklyn.
MIR. White claimed that this law was
repealed in 1855 when Brooklyn received
its Lew cAarter
Justice Gray holds that the Home is
not city institution, but Il county in
stitution, ana not affected by the laws of
1858.
lie also holds that there Is mo violation
of the constitution, ut rather an eneCta-
through a duly authorized instru-
mentality
