Hi July 2X, 1K9.1, Warren ei Knapp and
O'Hiicn Kelle represent hit? Mr.
Hill us bitiiiKiit suit in court ' UKUinst
.Mr.' Smith for SMi.mKl. The. case was
tried before ai bit latins, but Mr. Smith
was not rt'lU'i'Seiited at uiiy of th- hear
ings, either iiersonally or bjf counsel.
He was served with sufficient notice
but failed to put In nn.apiea,iuilct'. At
torney A. J. t'olhorn, jr.. was one of
the arbitrators chosen in iftliuilly. but
be was unexpectedly culled out of the
clly uiul T. I'. iMin'y was substituted
in bis Ulead. ' ,
THH AlililTUATOtlS ClinSKX.
I'rothonotury t K. l'ryor select, il the
arbitrators on account of the failure of
Mr. Smith to take any action in the
nuttier. They met elht time alto
gether and on Sept. 19, 1S9.'i. thc.V URl'ecd
upon the awanl of $i,ri,liinl In favor of
the plaintiff. n Sept. A four days
later, .Mr. Smith came before 1'iotlion-
olary l'ryor und entered un upeal
HK.'iinst the award, puylntt the costs by
check. He complained of the size of
the arbitrators' fees und Instructed Mr.
l'ryor to hold the check. The costs
amounted to $47.1:1. ami exceptions were
liled by Mr. Smith HKulnst the amount
churned, on Oct. 14, twenty-live days
alter the uward was made, Mr. Smith
came and took his check and paid tile
full amount of costs In currency.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs at
tacked the appeal on the kiouihI that
Mr. Smith did not pay the costs In cash
within twenty days. The law provides
Hint In cases of nppenl. the one appeal
ing must take action on or before
twenty days ufter Judgment has been
entered, anil the costs must be paid In
cash. In his opinion Jude Kttwnrds
says that amoiiK the numerous reasons
alleged fur setting nslde the nwurd.
there Is no evidence to sustain the al
legation of misbehavior on the part of
the arbitrators, nor can anything Ir
regular be detected in the arbitration
proceedings: nor Is it deemed necessary
to cite any cases to show that the pro
ceedings were regular and in accord
ance with the rules of practice enum
erated In the compulsory arbitration
law und confirmed by decisions of the
Supreme court.
JTSTIFIKIl MY Ol'R rni'UTS.
The opinion deals with the reason set
ting forth that there was no catise of
action, by stating, that it is settled hy
the Knglish courts that Judges, coun
sel, ' parties and witnesses ore abso
lutely exempted from liability to an
notion for defamatory words published
in the course of Judicial proceedings.
This doctrine, Judge Kdwurds says. Is
ciualilled In the American courts as to
parties, counsel and witnesses to the
extent that their statements made In
the course of nn action must be pertin
ent und material to the case, und he
declares that the niodittcallon of the
Knglish doctrine made by the Ameri
can courts is wise ami sufficiently con
servative. The opinion on the rule to show cnuse
why the appeal entered by the defend
ants should not le stricken off recites
that it Is unnecessary to discuss the
facts disclosed by the record. The law
Is clearly stated by the Supreme court.
One of the conditions precedent to a
valid appeal from nn award of arbi
trators is the payment of costs within
the twenty days allowed by the ad:
und It has been repeatedly held that
actual payment Is reiiilred.
Payment by check, or by draft, or by
charging the costs to the appellant's
attorney Is not Payment within the
meaning of the act. In the case now
under consideration the record ami the
depositions show that the costs were
paid by check, and that nctual payment
in money was not made until Oct. 14.
1.N9.'., twenty-live days after the award
was liled. The rule to strike off the
appeal Is made absolute and the appeal
Is stricken off.
Judue Kdwurds at the conclusion of
his opinion says that President Judge
Arclibnld was not present liming the
argument of these rules nnd has. there
fore, taken no part in the disposition of
them.

Ten reasons were given by Attorney
Cornelius Smith yesterday in unswer
to the rule directed to hint to show
cuu."e why he should nut be disbarred.
The principul reason given against the
gmritlng of the rule Is thut he claims
to be entitled to trial before a jury of
bis peers. His answer wu.-i sworn to
before Attorney V. A. Wilcox, n notary
public, und the court ordered it tiled
und itxed Monday, April 27 next, the

taken In open court before City Solicit
or J. H. Torrey, S. H. Price, und K. C.
Xewcombe, attorneys sitting as a com
mission by the court. Mr. Smith's un
swer is us follows:
Fli at-Thai I lie laid proceedings an- Ir
regular, and the said rule wus linproct
deiilly Kianled because Die said rule xha
not entered upon complainl, supported l v
un atllduvlt selling forth the precise
bulges uKJlnst the respondent, bin all
pears to have been grained iby the court

Ing 111 the presence of the court, and of
which the court had ik Judicial ki.jwl
edge. Second That there being no offense
charged ugalust the respondent known
und punishable by law, the rule was l:n
provldently granted, und the proceedings
are coram lion Judice and void.
Third That there bring no offense

that Is to suy, to far us the respondent was
iufoinied und believed tilt? Btuleineiils con
tained In Httjd letter re true. Taut, aside
float the fact that His Honor, F. W. ina
sler, told Hit respondent that he had not
disposed of the case, he r.ever lliloriiieil
the respondent that the statements In said
letters were not true, liui on the con
ti.uy, his failure lo answer the letter dat
ed I lee. 3, 1K95, or to Inform the respondent
by other intans, that the said statements
were not true, conllrineil the respondent
111 the belief that the said statements were
true.
Flflh-That the llrst ground alleged,
upon which the said rule Ihis lieen grain
ed, Is not true; that Is to say, the re-
1 Fpondent In writing said letters to the
j HonoraWe F. W. Uunster. had not the
I remotest intention or iiunuose of reflect
ing upon the oflitial honesiy and integrity
of 'the liald Judge. The sole und only pur
pose of the respondent being to ascertain
from His Honor, F. VV. (luusier, himself,
In good faith und for an honest purpose,
what the truth was In reKiird to n fact,
which at the time of writing the letter of
I lee. 31. ISMS, was directly allirnieil by 1
P. We.lenuin, esip, and seemingly infer
entlally denied by Ills Honor, F. W. (iun-ster.

Seventh That the abetted third ground
upon which the said rule has been granted.
Is nut true: that Is lo say, that the re
spondent In wilting the said letters as
aforesaid, had inn the remotest Ideu, In
tention or belief that ill'so doing he was
violating any duty or obligation urislng
from his oath as an attorney of the said
court. That the said letters were not
written by the respondent as all attorney,
nor In relation to any matters which con
cerned the respondent us all attorney, but

as an attorney In said rule and a mutter
entirely collateral, to any iiuestiun in
volved In the merits of the raid case.
F.lghth Thai the respondent's motive
nnd purpose in writing the letter dated
March 1:1. lSIHi. to Ills Honor, Judge Oun
ster, was not to Influence, prejudice or
control the disposition of the said rule,
his sole and only purpose being thut be
lieving His Honor, Judge (blaster, to

look his opinion back for the purpose of
correcting such mistake, to Inform His
Honor, that under such circumstances it

The second week of common ideas
court oiene yesterday. Judge Arch
buld Is on the bench ill the main court
room. In No. 2 the trespuss suit of
Klias Pickering against the Scrunton
Traction company was on trial be-fore
Judge Minister, It having come over
from last week. All the evidence of the
defense Is now In except the testimony
of one witness who Is expected from
Washington this morning to stote some
facts concerning Mr. Pickering's appli
cation for n peiisliui.
There was but one case ooi iicil fur
Jury trial In the niuin court room: it
wus that of Thomas lieuch against the
city of Scranton and It wus nun-stilted
after the evidence of the plaintiff was
heard. Attorneys 1). W. Hiowii. and
Ilulslunder Vosbtirg represented the
plaintiff and the defendant was repre
sented by. City Solicitor J. II. Torrey.
The action wus for $10."l damages u'.
leged by reason of the nverltow of sur
face water on the plaintiff's proierty
on Oar field avenue. It was alleged
that the Improper grading of the ave
nue raused the water to flow on the
premises. , - ,
MRS. URACH'S TKSTIMOXV.
Mr. Reach is dead. .Ills wife testified
that theoverllow of water damaged the
property to the extent of $1,000. On
cross-examination she varied the
amount , as low as SfiOO. Mr. Torrey
moved for a non-suit on the crrounil
that no negligence on the part of the
city flud been shown and no estimate
of the actual damage done has been
shown to the Jury. Mrs. Reach was
not positive of the amount and much
of her testimony was guess work. Judge
Archbald allowed the motion and grant
ed the non-suit, also a rule to show
cuuse why the non-suit should not be
stricken off.
