Pablica.iou of Evidence.

| We are informed that exceptions were
taken on Monday last in the District Court
to our publishing the evidence on the ex-
ination Of Jansen, by the counsel for the
prisoner, Mr. Churchman, and that remarks
intended to be severe were made by the
court in reference to us for the same act
Also that the learned judge, w. T. Barbour
held such act "a high contempt Of court,
which, recurring, he should severely punish
We say we are SO informed, for not being in
possession Of that part Of the programme Of
proceedings, we were not in attendance, and
therefore rely on the statements Of others.
We have word or two to say on the mat
ter, and presume our remarks will travel as
far as tho comments Of court.
The publication of tho evidence in the
examination Of Jan 'sen was not an isolated
case. Evidence in such cases has been re-
peatedly published in Nevada, as well as
through California and the United States
and no court has before had that peculiar
scnsitivcness of solfappreciation to lead it to
hold such publications as contempts. On the
examination Of the Industry Bar duellists,
we reported the evidence in full, and no OBJ.
lection was made. In that of Geo. Barrett
afterwards hung, Mr.. Churchman and others
recommended its publication, but our SPACE
did not admit of it. In the case of Matthi
as Ault, examined for killing Fisher, Mr.
Churchman called and advised us to procure
the documents Of Justice Enjecott, instead
Of relying on our own notes in publishing
tho evidence, We preferred to use our OWL
notes, which were not found fault with W.
would like to ask If it is not little absurt
then, to go into court and charge us with I
misdemeanor for doing what had not beer
objected to by the bar or bench, and especi
ally for one to do so who recently had ad
vised to thing parallel to the one he charg
cd Us with. Wegave in the Jansen case al
exact copy Of the justices report. Th
learned Judge is ill-posted in the judicia
transactions Of this part of his district il h
first learned from the counsel in this cas-
that such things happen here. We nee'
scarcely remind one Of tolerable general in
formation that the evidence on examinations
when Of enough Importance to excite the at
tention of the press, is published the worl'
over. The evidence in the examination o
Webster, who killed DR.. Parkman in Bostol
.-one of the most. fearful tragedies on recor'
was published weeks before the final trial
Yet no court talked of contempt.
In the Forrest case, in New York, the ba
appealed to the Judge if there was no means
to prevent the daily publication Of evidences
as the trial progressed. The evidence, witt
editorial comments, stared the juror in the
face, and il was feared would influence the
trial. The judge replied there was no pswel
in his hands Of that nature.
Such publications are common, and in nc
case have ever been deemed contempt OF any
court.

long the trial may be procrastinated.
This has been great haTdships upon
the citizens heretofore, many Jurors be-
ing compelled frequently to hire per-
sons to take their place in their occnpa-
tion as trader or miner, besides endur-
ing hundred other Inconvenience
which none but the parties suffering
them can appreciate. By consent of the
parties the pay OF the Jurors was raised
to SIS per day.
JUSTICE CoLBURN had up before him
on Monday, one Brown charged with
committing IN assault and battery on
ono Pasdota Salina Cyprian nymph,
who, Brown stated, tried to cut him up
without provocation, He was found
gailty, but in consideration of the desire
Of the frail one to make mince meat Of
him-he was mulcted only in costs Of
court (s4l ,00.)
'Dutch Sam; was also fetched up for
disturbing the equilibrium of a German
Hebrew, with q hard name. The nodus
operandi was to hit him over the head
with the heels Of a old pair of boots, same
held in his hand. The disturbance grew
out Of trade of watches, where Sam
beat the Jew, at fair shake. Sam was
discharged because the other was for
making himself, in settling the little af-
fair with Sam, both Judge and Jury
hence tho boot business which was
looked upon as justihable.
On Tuesday Signora Salina was brought
up, under the charge of cutting and
dashing with knife at Brown aforesaid
who whipped her afterwards for it
but it came out on the examination that
Brown hit the woman first, and that the
weapon was broken bladed pen-knife,
which however scratched badly. The
magistrate discharged her.
