MIR. Vandyke went on to argue that the return
TO the writ was not only an evasion but an abso-
lutte talsehood, and that the parties We're under
the control Of the respondent. The District At
torney compared the respondent to pickpocket
who steals purse, and hands the plumber to a
confederate. He urged in conclusion that the
respondent had not purged himself of contempt,

The respondents counsel, after consultation,
determined TO leave the matter to the court for
decision, without argument.
Judge Kane said the case was SO grave, and its
consequences might be SO very grave to the re-
spondent, who might even pass into the cond-
ton of prisoner, that he was DESTROYS, before
passing upon the two motions, to have time for
reflection. In the meantime bail might be taken
in 5000 for a further hearing on the second mo-
ton, (on the charge of perjury,) and the motion
for contempt could go over. He would also say (,
at the risk of its being considered extra judicial
that if it is really in the power Of the defendant
to procure tho bodies of the three PERSONS would
