MUNICIPAL CouRT. Monday-Judge
Thacher held Court in the morning, for
the purpose of'arraigning Mr.. Hildreth,
of the Atlas for an alleged libel on Abner
Bourne and other jurors; and Mr.. Hill
dreth filed plea in abatement Of the ju-
risdiction of the Court, substantially
thus-for that by the Goth article, part /,
of the constitution, it declares that "it is
the right of every citizen to be tried by
Judges as free, impartial, and independ-
ent, as the lot of humanity will admit"
whereas Judge Thacher, in certain
written paper read before an assemblage
of persons in the Court Room, had pre-
Judged the article set forth in the indict-
ment, and pronounced it to be libel,
and had instigated and ordered the Coun-i
i ty Attorney to obtain the Indictment;
and therefore he is not in this case
Judge as free, impartial, and, independ-
ent as the lot of humanity will admit"
Wherefore said Hildreth prays that he
may be RENTED to the Judicial Court to
be there dealt with according to law and
justice. sc.

justice. we are not extensively read in
law cases. but it strikes us that this has
al least the attraction of novelty.-Bos-
