In tie case Of Bake and his codefepdsuts the Dis
tiicf-AtoIrey said he had been served with no ice
from Messrs Deylin and Clarke their counsel, that
they intended to move to qussh the indictment As
the motion takes precedence Of any plea in the case,
he proposed 10 argue me Oh HSAs5
to which the Court and Mr.. Devlin assen'ei.
In The case of James Irving, the Distrc'-A torney
faid be had been bailed and he would ak if be was
in Court. Mr. Devlin sid he was. The Dis,rict-At-
torney said be had motion to make. After a-gu-
ment befC re Judge Morris, before indictment, Judge
NJ decided it was b.iisble case, and admitted the
prisoner to bail and be tbe District Attorney con-
pioers that Judge NJ, being Judge of the Supreme
Court, has probably coordira'e power with the
Judge on The bench and the admission to bail must
stand. TIE evidence before the Grand.Jury was &C.
cumulative or to that before the Coroners Jury.
Still be Ibe Dsfrict-Attorney thought that there was
difference before and after the finding of an indct-
ment, and the Judge on the bench has tho power to
increase The bail. Judge Morris fixed the bail at
$4,000, and be would move that it be increased to
sg5 GOO.

one Of the counsel for defense STATED that Judge Nor
rs allowed Irving TO bail on tbs ground that Judge
had power to admit bsil, even in csse OF murder,
either before or sitter Indictment. nothing appeared

that he would kill Pooethe day Of the thresi on ths

and at the difficulty in the previous part OF the even

babess corpus, would have discharged Irving had

course been before the Coroner's Jury. He Mr.. ID
conte1ded that the bail Of $4,000 wa. sufficiently
bieh. Mr. Irving could give bail for $4,000 or
500 coo, if pecesgarybuti il cannot be necessary.
The Dia'Ict-Attorney contended that bis ability 10
give higher bail wss one reason why II should be III
creased.
Mr. Clarke, another of the counsel for defense was
desrous that the argument TO qUash the ind,tmenfoe
