al defendants. The claims in question
ore supposed to be as whole, very val
liable, and tho respective merits of the
rights of the parties were ably set forth
by counsel, who were aided by an elab-
crate map or plat Of the premises drawn
by cur friend ManseIl. At noon on
Tuesday, the Jury brought in a verdict
for portion Of the ground in litigation
in favor of the plaintiffs-the verdict
throws the costs on the defendants. A
very wise precedent was established by

| 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 On isolated
case. Evidence in such cases has been re-
peatedly published in Nevada, as we'll as
through California and the United States,
nnd no court has before had that peculiar

hold such publications as contempts. On the
examination Of the Industry Bar duellists,
we reported the evidence in full, and no OBJ.

recommended its publication, but our srace
did not admit Of it, In the case Of Matthi-

Churchman called and advised us TO procure
the documents Of Justice Endecott, instead
Of relying on our own notes in publishing
the evidence, We preferred to use our own
notes, which were not found fault with. We
would like to ask if it is not little absurd
then, to 60 into court and charge us with q
misdemeanor for doing what had not been
objected to by the bar or bench, and especi
ally for one to do 80 who recently had ad
vised to thing parallel to the one he charg
cd as with. We gave in the Jansen case ar
exact copy Of the Justices report. The
learned Judge is ill-posted in the judicial
transactions of this part Of his district if he
first learned from the counsel in this case
that snch things happen here. We need
scarcely remind one Of tolcrable general in.

when Of enough Importance to excite the at

"Dutch Sam was also fetched up for
disturbing the equilibrium Of German
Hebrew, with hard name. The modus
operandi was to hit him over the head
with the heels Of q 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

up, under the charge of cutting and

weapon was broken bladed penknife,

My estimate of the receipts of the county
