PAssMoRE WILLIAMSON RELEASED.

Passmore Williamson has at length been releas
ed by Judge Kane, after an imprisonment Of more
than three months. The Judge refused to receive
a petition from Mr.. Williamson, assigning The fol
lowing reason: an as much as it appears that
the said Passmore Williamson is now remaining
in contempt Of this Court and because lie doth in
no wise make p~urgation of this contempt, nor doth
he pray that he may be permitted to make such
purgat.on, therefore the said Passmore William.
son hath not, at this time a standing in this court. u
Such vas Judge Kane's language and decision on
Monday Of last week, lie then also further or.
dered chat, whenever, by petition in writing, to
be filed with the clerk, Passmore Williamson shall
set forth, under his oath or solemn affirmation, that
he desires to purge himself of the contempt be-
cause of which he is now attached, and to that
end is willing to make true answers to such inter.
~rogations as may be addressed to him by the Court
touching the matters heretofore legally inquired
of by the writ of habeas corpus, to him directed
at the relation of John II. Wheeler then the mar
shall do bring the said Passmore Williamson be-
fore the Court, if in session, or if the Court be not
in session, then before the Judge at his chambers,
to abide the further order of the Court in his be.
half"
In accordance with this suggestion of the Court
on Friday the Cd inst, Mr.. Williamson's counsel
presented a petition. l: did not however meet the
wishes of Judge Kane, and lie reserved it for con
sideration.
The Tribune reports the subsequent proceeding
as follows:
When this petition was presented, the distric
attorney contendcd that the word legally" should
be inserted, so as to make Mr.. Williamson admi
that he was legally incarcerated, which, of course
he would never have done. But SO DESTROYS wal
JudgeKanc of extricating himself from the de.
tcstable position in which he. stood that lie oyerrul
ed the proposal and allowed the petition to pass as
it was. Then Mr.. Williamson was required to answer
why he had not produced the bodies of Jane John
son and her children as required by the origina
writ. To this interrogatory his reply now wa
simply Because it was impossible" Here agar
the district-attorney sought to go further and com
pei him to answer whether he would have produ
ced them had it been possible, but this the Judg,
also excluded, and upon this answer released tn,
prisoner.
The case then stands thus: Mr.. Williamson
was ahiudged guilty of contempt of court, ant
was even declared by the Judge to be guilty o
perjury, because he had made oath that Jane John
son and her sons were not in his custody, where
fore he could not produce them.
After cling held in prison for such contempt 70,
the period Of three months and one week, he is a
last allowed to amend his former answer by ma
king oath simply that he did not produce thos
persons Because it was impossible to do So"
With regard to the essential identity betweel
these two answers, comment is needless.
