ATTACHED THE COUNTY SAFE,
Lawyer Meyenborg Goes Out Of
His Way to Collect a Bill
Only for 80, 200. 8s, bit twill Make
Fees for the Sheriff.

The Kings County Treasurer's offics,
In the Courthouse, Brooklyn, Is to-day
in the hands of Sheriff Buttling.
Shortly before noon Chief Clerk Sedg-
wick, of the Sheriff's office, walked into
the County Treasurer's office, which is d
few doors below the Sheriff's Office In
the main corridor Of the Court House,
and served an attachment for -$2,70O. Is
on Deputy County Treasurer Harrlng-
ton. The levy attaches the safe, books,
papers, tables. desks and anything else
of value In the office.
MIR. Harrington and Clerk Sedgwick
are old friends. and Harrington laugh
ingly told Sedgwick that he could carry
the ten-ton safe right out with him II
he wanted to set the County Treasurer
and his effects on the street.
The attachment and the proceedings
connected with it came about In pc
culiar way. A few years ago Kings
County advertised for sale certain bonds.
The East River Bank, of New York, bid
In S250OO0 worth of the bonds. 1t after
wards refused to take them on the
ground that the county had overstepped
Its debt limit.

Of little things like banks refusing =
take up county bonds when they bid
for them.
Notwithstanding the 5000 per annum
he coll ected to do the work himself
Meyenborg in this instance called Will
lam c. Dewitt to his assistance. Mr..
De Witt fought the battle for the
County and put in his little bill for
SIX, 900, after the bank had been ordered
by the courts to take the bonds.
Meyenborg could not let good thing
go by, SO he filed bill for $4,000 for ex-
tras In the same case.
Last June the courts cut down Mr..
De Wits bill to $4,000. and allowed
Meyenborg S27O0SS. Mr.. Harrington
said this morning that the judgment had
never been filed, nor had Meyenborg
asked for his money since June until
to-day. He said that as soon as County
Treasurer Adams returned. the matter
would be investigated, and II 1t was
found that Mr.. Adams must pay the
bill he would do so. -,
No one around the Courthouse could
see how 1t was that the matter had
been placed in the sheriff's hands unless
It was to give Sheriff Buttling a chance
to mulct the county of his fees.
