The excitement which prevailed at the time Of
lhs death Of Poole, by the hands of some parties
with whom he was engaged in . midnight brawl,

pAting in the sympathy and homage paid to the
semans Of the ignoby slain victim of incompetence
and rival brsvsdoism. Judge Cowles has ably and
deliberately reviewed the case on motion to admit to
bail, and has decided on bailing Morrissey and IT
wing in SO 600 each, Hyler, Linn and Van Pelt In
$40 600 each, hnt the motion on behalf of Turner
and Paudeen was refused. The Judge said that !,
~ regards Irving and Morrissey, it was clear that
there is not only no evidence on which
conviction chn be had but that the proof did not
warrant the finding of the Indictment; and the
Judge further says, that while the Grand Jury will
always have the firm and steady support of this
Court in the proper discharge of their most respon-
sihle and important duties, the Court will, with
equal frmness and fidelity, guard the personal
nights Of the citizen against the consequences of SO
dangerous . precedent as that of sustaining or
jsvoring an Indictment, the ding Of which Is 30
utterly unwarranted by proof. WIN grand juries
be more cautious for the future in scrutnzng what
Aust always be, before them, er parte statements?
