The trial of Mayor Hall wan ron tinned yen U niay before Judge CharU ? P. Daly, the morning hour being occupied by the di?eu??lou of the objection? which were pending at the adjournment on Monday in regard to aaaaoaaa pal to Mr. Lyne? and going to the real met Its af the trial. At 11:10 Mr. Lyne? took, the stand, and Mr. I'eckbam BgaM offered the Oarvey warrant in evidence. Mr. Hurrill ?aid he understood that this warrant was ofUnd to the Curt iilon? for it-* information as to whether the vouchers en which it wa? Issued were loi-t, and might not to lie read to the jury. Mr. Maaajktaa argued the qu< .?tlon, citing varion? cases. Chief Justice Daly gave hl-< views of those ease?, hold? ing substantially that the evidence was proper to i.'o to the Court, audit Incoin|ietentouthc main iaaac the Court could direct the Jury to disregard It. Mr. B tough ton objected that evidence once heard hv the Jury must have it? weight on them, by the constitu? tion ol human nature, ?mithat weight would be prejit diil.tl to the defendant. It might be easy iu a <:\il ea^e to reniovc certain it* ins of evidence from their mind?, but it would lie very ditlicult In this case?essen? tially a criminal case. He suggested that the Court could ili.-i.ii-s the Jury and hear tho ii.-i u- -.nu alone. Ha was free to say that tbe defense took tbe gummi that no offense wu?. charged by this Indictment. Mr. Tnmain claimed that this discussion wa? out of order now. Judge Duly thought tt would lie more proiier to raise these BJBBCtBBM after the tcstimouy for the pro se i utioii hud closed their B1 uleii. c. Mr. Htoughton asked how they could deiiUe what was relevant evidence until they had ascertained the char? acter of the i barge I The enarl vas disentangled by Mr. Tremaln, who eft. red the warrant for the present an only evidence to the Court,reserving tlic right hereafter to offu' it to tho Jury on the main Issue. Mr. Lyne? then testified: There 1? only one kind of w an .nit used for the payment of ull kind? of claims ; the accounts to which i-nch warrant is to be charged are placed on the margin of each ; these word? on the end of tin- warrant, "County Liabilities," were used for uo other claim? than those passing through tbe Hoard of Audit; my -Icuat ore was out on this at the time I entered it on the audit book ; at that time the voucher? ami the warrant weie in my hiuul?; I personally kept a "recur! of vouchers;" this is the book now before me; from pafM HI to BBj of the book it i? headed "Coiinly Liabilities;" tii.it account was commenced and tho catrlM m ole at the time tbey purport to 1m- made ; the date 1? tho date thoe cutties were enbred in the audit book; "KecordNo." Is the number on the voucher; "To whom" iMMMtfcC BBIty to whom the MO Wae made out or payable; ?'

I should leave them at I found them. Mr. linrrlll reiterated hi? objection to the warrant and book, and a question theu arose as to the kind of evi? dence it should be considered?whether secondary or primary. A queer misunderstanding also arose m to the n.eanlng of Judge Daly, yesterday, In designating tho particular kind of evidence?i|ueer. because It was all on oue aid?. The defense thought that Judge Daly meant "preliminary" by "primarv." Judge Daly Dually al? lowed them a? secondary evidence. TESTIMONY OF WM. S. COPELAND. Wm. B. Copland, Assistant Lookkcpcr under Mr. Lynes, was next called, and detailed the routine of busl nes? In his office; Mr. Watsou would baud the bill or t isim to Mr. Lyues, who would examine it, and baud It sometime? to Uic witness aud ?onetime? to other clerk? to ?a? whether the addition? or extrusions were carried out; then be would take it and add Interact, if any wa? needed, ami affix the proper rrrlineales blauks? and than baud it in to the Auditor; lu tbe cou rae of tlruc general! v the same day-it would come back signed by the proper authorities; then a warraut would be pre? pared and tent to tbe Controller for Bis tignatuie, theu to the Mayor'? otllee for hi? signature, and after that to tbe Clerk of tbe Board of Bupervlaor? for hi? ?1 feature. q They would go to Mr. Wataou un?igur.l aud ?ou?e back signed t A.

Tai? was objected to on tie ground tli.it It WM an In? direct way of getting at the content? of the voucher iu question without proving that tbe witness had seen the voucher. Mr. I'ci kham tried to put the question In .lee? objec? tionable form. q. Do you know of nny ease where a warrant was drawn upon the account of eouiitv liaLillt:ch. except uI?m a claim that had been presente'! 1 Mr. Burrill ratead an objection to this qnest'on also, a? there was an absence of proof of knowledge on the pa ft of thi? witness In regard to this matter. None of the entries in book No. 9 were original or eotemjiovaneou?. I.vnes's testimony wa? clear and distinct that it WM Dothtng hut a transcript made uot from original pap?is. but from the audit book, and book Ho. 3 WM solely copied from the warranf, and contains no other Informa tion. If it was made up from tin warrant, It certainly was no stronger than the warrant itself. Judge Daly sad that he understood the Audit book to be |n already, a? prellminarv e\ idence. Mr Hurrill ?aid that in this Instance whore tbe partie? saw the name? and ?ought to Identify in a general way the paper? loif. when the Court ?hall have fuindthf? particular papar in existence then it will be proper and appropriate evidence, whether or not tbe paper ?ought foi Is lost, hut on the evidence of the exl?tei,cc of the paper it amounts to nothing. There Is, therefore, no suf? ficient proof Ju this case to justify the admission of secondary evidence even ii thi? isacasc where BrCOadar* e\ hleuee should be allowed. Judge Daly held that, a? a mritterof fact, the exist? ence, identity, and loss of this paper wa? siitllclcnt to au? thorize the ?econdair evidence of it? content?. Mr. Stoughton tried to ward off this ?olid blow again-f tbc defense by suggesting Hint the Court did not hold thai secondary evidence wa? necessarily admi'.sllile, al? though, admitted hen-, because that question liad Hot yet been argued. Judge Daly ?aid the question was disposed of tor all preseut purpoat ?. AU lie decided for the present was, th.it It was now for the prosecution to prove the nature and cant?ate 'if these document? M far as they offer any par? tit alar piece of evidence, aud if there was any objection matin to its addition, tbe Court would pass" upon tbe question, Be understood Mr. F> wain to otf>r the war rants aa a piece of evidence tending to ?how the Batare and content? of the account, or whatever the prclltntn wry paper may have been prior to the Issuing of the warrant.

That was now to be given, aud {li) the effect? or legal consequence? of Unit document. Mr. liuri ill e.veepted tothe deci?iou a? to the suffic'.enev of the preliminary proof, and also to tho warrant, which wa? tires, nte.i in a double osjieet- assecondarv evidence of the original claim and a? evidence In chief under the ?eeoud count of the iudictmeut of the payment of the claim. The dispute a? to what wag evidence in thief nnd what secondary wa? disposed of by Judge Daly, who Intimated that the evidence must Is; excluded In whole Off admitted in whole; tln.t iPit waa found proper only Hs secondary evidence then the Court Would properly direct th.- jury ; aud that a? secondary evidence M waa admissible.

Hi? investigation? disclosed a deficiency of ?W,160 In the account? of hi? predecessor, Evan M. Johnson. The explanation given by Mr. Johnson thai the deficit-m-v waa due to the fa? t that tbe as? sessment and ?ewerage lion.la | were sold at a discount, will probably be a? un?a?i?factory to the c.ttzeiis of Hrooklyn as tt I? to Controller flbroedei who presented t lie correspondence on the subject to the Common Council, a? was stated In yerrtcrduy'a Triiii'nf.

The total amount of liouds Issued ley Controller Johnson wa? about ??.non.non. The deficiency is the difference bMweaa the amount of the kaada i??ucd by Mr. Johnson and the amount of money paid by him to the City Treasury. Mr. Johnson claim? that he had the right to ?ell the in.nils below nar, that he did so, aud thut the discount thn? incurred explain? the deficiency.
