Judge Allison--Do you kriow the, name of the:other tiolicernau? • Mr. Deiss—l only recognized Lieutenant ' Hillocky. Judge Allison—A high-handed outrage, committed by police officers of the city, whose ditty it.is to defend the law and protect the rights of the citizens, is not simply a wrong done to 'Mr. Deiss, individually, but a wrong done to him when he was engaged in the per formance of his duty as an officer of this Court. It is not often that anything quite as highhanded as this takes place. I shall direct a warrant to be issued for the arrest of 'Lieut. returnable forthwith. If Mr Deim recognizes other parties I will issue warrants for them. yr.i Dropie--.•You recognized Mr. Mr. Deiss—He came lip and accosted me. Judge Allison—l don't understand that he hod anything to do with the arrest. The warrant then issued THE THIRTEENTH LEGISLATIVE GISTRICT. Ilr..Elirst called the attention of the Court to the fact that notwithstanding the advice of the Court yesterday,' the Board of Return Judges had given the certificate to Mr. Geisze in the Thirteenth district. .- ' • Judge Allis On- - --1 do not think I can go back of tbnt The only question was whether there was a correct return in'the office which• could be used. Mr. Ijirst--There Judge Allison—" All I can do. is to take up. that which is on record in the otli ce and d'e termine whether there any .remedy, if a. mandamus has not been enforced. 31r. 31ann—The Board of 'Return' Judges have not adjourned, and will act upon, your honor's S gg es tion. The — difficulty is that when the Return Judge of the Seventeenth Ward is asked for a return, he first alleges that the return, is stolen ' and he next asks to supply the loss with a statement of his own, including the`figures on the 'fotgery.: 14 the 'Board had adopted that as, a return they would bay& committed a great error. Judge Allison—The Return Judges cannot mke as a .returis a' piece of paper. 31r. Mann-1 went fo Mn. Wolbert's and took the two precincts missing 'and had the figureti taken, and the 'Board took them. I ad vised the Board to send for ..31.r. -Wolbert to bring the papers of these two precincts, and advised, them that,they ought to take, them and thus prevent the perpetration of at great fraud.

The officer having the warrant for Lieut. )liillaeky now appeared with that officer. 31r. Deiss - wax - tigaln - Wdku — and repeated the Statement given above. Judge Allison to Lieut. ICillaeky.Wlla have you to say_? ' Lieutenant Killaeky said: I was sent for yes terday by the Chief of Police, as there was. danger of trouble along the row, at 6 o'clock; - 1 was directed to take charge of the public bulkiingswhich are immy district, and I was '- told to take care of the people while in ses= pion ; after the people left the Chief told me to continue my charge ' of these build ings, and see than no persons entered or, left ; a few days ago there liras a great - robbery at the corner and we have endeavored' to be very particular; about 'lO o'clock last' ;evening an officer came to me and called my 'attention to this gentleman coming out of the tloor where the building was dark ; X didn't know the gentleman, and I thought there was something wrong in • his ;coming out at this unseasonable ;hour. I arrested hitn and took him to the Central Station, 'and then went, to the Mayor land asked instructions what to do with him, - 'and I 'came back and discharged him upon Mr. (Mn going bail-for him before Alderman 31c.11uilin, who was present ; I did not know that I was doing . more than my duty, espe cially in this district, where we had. a fishy robbery a few weeks ago ; I did not know the gentleman'. Judge Allison—Who took the keys ? Lieut. liillacky—The turnkey took them and kept them until returned to, him ; nobody else had them. Judge Allison—Didn't he tell you who he was? Lieut. Killacky—l didn't know whether Elie was telling the truth or not; when 1 found out that ,he was right I released him. • Judge Allison—An officer who arrests with ' nut a warrant does it at his peril. If yi)u. acted 'then without instructions you had I.3etter re ' member that unless you have a , warrant you 'have no right to arrest, .unie.ss you see a mis demeanor being perpetrated. When a party comes •to you •with a, complaint it is your duty to see that a warrant is obtained. An officer May arrest, for the commission Off _a„ felony, or for suspicions • of a felony, but in.doing so he assumes all tlie risks. In this ease you, committed a high . handed outrage upon a citizen and upon a gentleman in the employ of the Prothonotary • of this Commrt—a gentlethan highly esteemed and respected by every one nrho knows him. No man bears a higher character in this community than does George W. Deiss. To arrest him while he was engaged in the, discharge of the laborious duties of his offiee awl confine ,hini in cell was such a liigh-handed outrage that I hope never to see it, repeated. • The ortler of the Court, is that you enter bail in *5,000 to ansWer this oharg,e. THE t oxxiastrT CASE. - Next came up the contempt case, all the cle fentlaufs except 3lr. Buckley being present.

It is the law - that speaks,not the court, not the pax ' -titular Juda , ,e who allows it. The writ goes 1 out in the name of the Commonwtatlth. -It is the Commonwealth's authority which is exe cuted• in order to present to those to whom it is directed its command, which command cannot be disregarded without incurring the 'penalty of the law. When Mr. Van Hook came into court and made his return to rue hinder oath, that as a Deputy Sheriff—being for this purpose the Sheriff—in attempting to serve that writ, and while the members, a, dozen or more, were in the room, he was vita Ilentlyand forcibly ejected from , the place, , and that he was thus prevented from performing his duty, and in attempting to do which he could' not have 'clone less than he did. I couldnot have been more surprised as well by the sense of the •wrong that these persons had clone to them selkas, as to the law which it was their duty to obey. I=Tpon that statement being put in writing, I directed this rule to be entered. The petition charged the facts I have stated. The rule required that all the parties shouhl appear this morning to show cause why they should not be held to answer tile charge 'of anitempt---a t trainst the charge of attempting to interfere wi •the legal process of this Court. 1 then ,felt that it, wag my duty to deal promptly with an act so flagrant in its char acter, and ascertain whether the persons so rharged with having thus violated the law ,were guilty. Among acts for Which the Court may punish for contempt is refusal to obey the lawful order of the Court. If the facts stated .hy Mr. Van Hook be true , then these defend ant. are clearly in contempt. It matters little whether afr. Van Hook is correct or whether the others, that ,he an nounced tbat he had a writ from the Supreme Court or the Common Pleas. He announced that he had a _writ, from a Court under seal of a, Court, and that should have, been enough for every citizen. That whieh peonle tTo they are presumed its intending to do. It, will not do for . these 'gentlemen .toA o come la and say that 'Mr- Van Hook announced a writ from the Supreme Court. Where the atithoray of the law is invoked, every man is bound to yield obedience,. and, having refused upon exie pretext or another, it will not do for him to come into Court - expecting to excuse that want;of, obedience when it is associated into circumstances of flagrant 'outrageaby as serting that he did not know that it was this Court. There is no one of these gentlemen who did not - understand :Mr. van. Jacek to say that he liad a writ. If they took the risk of disregarding it,aheY - t'ook' the" risk of resisting. the lawful authority_of a.Court. I have no disposition to 'deal harshly with these gentlemen, oa others charged with re sisting 'the • law, further than to vindicate the kin a Atior stating that anderthe'Act of . 4 ssam bly, the Court. had 'nO, power to impose im-' prisoomerit ',ter eentaalpt except - tvheeo , it is committed in - the:presence of tlae - Coint, the Judge imposed a...ffee of 6250 on each of the defendants. ~ t :•,: • , Preitaratlens for tin) Council... - "the Cracow-Nun. - A Roman correspondent writes:, Fronf 4 Ronie ttio work of in- 1 closing the right'fiand portion of the transept of St. Peter's is all but complete. .The public are : , no: longer adniitted within the precincts, gendarmes -4ealonslyguarding,the entrances.'
