SIXTH DISTRICT CoURT.-Judge HolgeH.-That
part Of the German Evangelical Church difficulty ia
which the Rev. Mfr. Presler, Mr.. Zinser, and Lieut.
Newland were charged with a.contempt of the au-
thorty of this Court, was decided yesterday. As we
have already related, the charge of contempt was
based upon the action Of the accused dsregarding
the Injunction issued by this Court, to restrain Mr..
Presler from preaching in the church whenever such
preaching might be disturbance of the peace of
Peter Kaiser and the other opposition trustees and
which disregard was shown by Newland at the insti-
cation of Presler and Znser arrestng Kaiser taking
the church keys from him, opening the church in viO-
laton OF the will of the trustees, etc. Judge Howell,
though reluctant to interfere in any question invOlV
ing the peace and respectabity of a religious con-
gregation found it necessary, after full examination
and due deberatiOn, to adjndge Lieut. NeWland and
Rev. Mr.. Preser guilty Of contempt; for which he
sentenced them to two hours confinement in the
parish prison. Both the gentlemen were accordingly
attached yesterday, and inCarCerated for the time
named. We the Lieutenant on his way to prison,
in charge of Mr. Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald, and he
seemed to regard it as good joke but Mr.. Preser,
we imagine, could hardly take it as a joke The
Judges decision explained his ground fully, and we
regret that we cannot publish it in full for it is
common thing to send preacher to prison for con-
tempt of court.
RECORDER SUMMERS CouRT.-A great crowd of
ugly looking drunkards and braWeTs, Of both sexes
aud all colors, filed out of the dock yesterday morn
ing Of the crowd thirty.six were required to pay
IS fine each, or go into retirement; two were re-
quired to pay $l0 or go into retirement; and more
than we had time to count we're required to pay
81 so or go into retirement. small minority paid
mn and the large majority went kiting off in several
Black Maria loads to the Work House and Parish
Prison Those fined Sl0 were John Williams, for
smashing tumblers in Wm. Morans co1eehouse, on
Dryades street and bonny Kate Bloomfield, Of Basin
street for carrying dirk concealed on her person.
The marrying set to whom we alluded yesterday,
to-wt, Wm. Hazard and Alexander McCauley, and
the woman who was lawful vile OF both-the brother
husbands taken up for trying to fight out their differ
enCe on St Joseph street, and the neutral wife for
raising row because she could not get her spouses
out of limbo on Sunday nlght-Were overhauled,
Although the affair was decidedly bgamons, no COM
plants were made or investigation had on that score
The Recorder only uuraveed the trouble between the
husbands. II being shown that MCUauley the second
and possessing husband, was quietly enjoying himself
| with the wife when Hazard the first husband, came
along and tried to reclaim his own by virtue OF hstG
science McCauley and the wife were discharged, and
Hazard fined So. The virtue of Hazard jealousy was
not little impugned by the wites assertion that be
had another wife living in New Jersey Mrs McCanley
didn't consider herself Mrs. Hazard, ESQ she told the
| oficers) for when she complained OF Hazard to hel
priest and expressed her desire to leave him, the
priest told her to tear up her marriage certificate and
| 20 off and marry whoever she pleased which she
had done, and therefore considered herself forever
free of Hazard II Hazard could clear his skirts OF
the imputation of having another wife living, a
bigamy suit might very easily rise out OF the bust
ness.
