The Law In williamsburg.

The people against Thomas Berry, charged with
selling liquor contrary to Law. This case was
brought up on Saturday. The defendant had been
arrested q few days ago, aud his counsel, Mr. IA.
milton, made q motion to refer the matter to the
Court Of General Sessions, upon which the Justice
reserved his decision until Saturday, when he do
MED the molten, and the counsel took exceptions
to the ruling of the Court. Mr.. H amilton then
raised the objection Of want of jurisdiction, and
referred to the laws Of 1855, chap. 45l. passed
April -, which gives no jurisdiction -
justices in Williamsburg in criminal cases. Uader
should be discharged. J. w. Winsow, Esq, ap-
peared for the people, and differed With Mr. Hamil.
ton a. to the reading Of the law in question, a. hs
did not under stand IL exactly his learned friend
lshe couneeD did, and argued In favor Of the
Courts jurisdiction. The Court reserve its deci
zion, and the case was postponed till Tuesday next.
The case Of the People with William Guishard
was then called. Mr.. Hamilton ap reared for tbs
defendant, and raised the same point as 10 the

Knows mot how soon no may b made TO tremhle for

LIQUOR Law Dfaaculty In Bunalo-Police or
ficer 60lted.
Under the prohihitoEy liquor law, says the BufAlo
Republic, any police ficer sees any drinking Of ii.
quor gong on ct any place, he L. obliged by that law,
stock, end bring him up for indictment before the
Grand Jury. This makes police officer kind Of
spy, and compes him to avoid all such places, II
be wishes to retain his sef respect The first case
Of this kind came mp before the Grand Jury yester
law. at the Western Hotel. George Hinson, q
police tfdcer, and an intimate friend OF Mr.
Best, was subp9nasd a. witness, and before
the GYard Jury was ssked If he had seen
Best sell any liquor since the Sd Of July Hsreiused
to answer. under the plea that he was not obliged
to criminate himself-that II he had seen him sell
any, be would have to submit to very heavy penal
ties for not arrestipg him and selling bis stock, and
that, consequently he did not feel obliged 70 place
himself in peril. The Grand Jury and the District
Attorney asked in vain for this information, but
Hnson stood his ground, and fairly, too We think.
II Mr.. Hnson had replied that he had seen Mr..
Best sell liquor, he would have been thrown iuto
prison for six months, would have been fined $500,
and forever after incapactated for holding office.
This was an uBlooked for technicaity and bothered
the Court and the District Attorney considerably.
The Grand Jury presented Mr.. Hins0n for con.
tempt, and Judge Sheldon laid the matter over for
time to decide to whether Mr.. Hns0ns refusal to
terday most Of the police officers, and among them
Mr.. Hinson, were entirely ignorant of this feature
of the law. Messrs. Fithian aud Josiah Cook were
counsel for the defence.
