A New York Colonel.
--The New York Herald, of Tuesday, says:
"An action of rather a curious nature has been commenced against Sheriff Kelly, and which, under the present circumstances, may be deemed unpatriotic.
It appears that Col. Wm. Wilson, familiarly known as Billy Wilson, of the Zouaves, had been for some time "on the limits," and that on recently returning from business on Staten Island he was informed that an action had been commenced by Cornelius P. Schermerhorn against the Sheriff, for permitting him to leave the limits.
The defence is that Mr. Wilson was called into active service by the United States Government to defend the Federal flag.
It will be for a New York jury to say what damages they will give against the Sheriff, under the present emergent circumstances."
The Daily Dispatch: December 20, 1860., [Electronic resource], Testimonial to a New York Colonel
