'EXAMINATION OF THE "FRER LOvERS"-The
arrest of Brisbane, Henderson and others, apostles
of the Free Love" doctrines in New York, has
created much excitement in that city. The parties
were brought before Mayor Wood on Friday morn
ing. A letter says:
Of course there WAS great crowd of spectators,
and on all hands the intensest anxiety was mani
Tested to hear and see what was going on. All the
old leechcrs and all the fast young men about
town, appeared to be present
After brief examination, the Mayor ordered
that Brisbane be discharged Tho charge against
him was attempt to effect the release from the
custody of captain of police of one of the Free
Lovers named Harland who had been arrested for
knocking down q man at the door, named Cooke
faire, who had refused to pay double price of adns
sion 0ifty cents) to the hall. There were no wit
nesses however, to substantiate the charge. The
Mayortwas of the opinion that Ar Brisbane was il
legally detained, though he (he Mayor considered
tho Free Love Club calculated to mslead the Young
and thought such things could not be too strongly
deprecated The Mayor expressed himself in IA
of the largest iborty of speech but thought Mr.
Brisbane's harangue on that particular occasion
might have been impoltic, if not morally offensive
Brisbane, on leaving the office, espied Captain
Turnbull, of the police, and abused him in most
shameful manner. Tho Mayor, however, ordered
him to ''shut up" and be off, else a warrant
would be issued for his rearrest Brisbane took
the hint and vamosed threatening to start paper
TO expose tho villainous combination against the
| new philosophy.
$500 each to appear and answer the charge of dis.
orderly conduct. Among the crowd of spectators
several notorious prostitutes were prominent. The
scene, altogether, was a shameful commentary up
on the tendencies of the times here. This whole
Free Love" notion is neither less than at
| tempt to popularise prostitution.
On Saturday morning further examination took
place at the Mayor Office before Justice Osberne
| Another immense throng was present The Ex-
| press says:
Among the individuals who appeared particu-
| larry interested, was a lady, who placed herself
close beside the Justices chair, and anxousy watch
| ed the proceedings. She wore brown travelling
dress a straw hat, and black veil, which latter
covered her features sufficiently to prevent her be
| ing recognized"
After taking considerable evidence in relation to
the origin of the disturbance, and the legality Of
the arrests, the examination was adjourned until
| Monday
Justice Pearcy informed ono of the reporters Of
| the Tribune, that keeper of house of Ill fame
had informed him that she had intended joining the
Club the evening heforc, expecting thereby to ben
| eft her business.
