AN ODD ISSUE, or something requiring explains
tion is out between the Third District Court Of JEFF
ferson and the Third District Court of New Oreans.
Whilst the Carrolton Jail undergoing repair,
prisoner named T. H. Reed, alias WIN. jackson, was
sent for safe,keepng, under the law providing for
such transfers. to the Parish Prison of this city.
few days since, Jackson was wanted for arraignment
before the Jefferson Court but not forthcoming.
It was discovered that he had been released from
prison on writ Of habeas corpus, sued out in the
Third District Court of this city and that the whole
proceeding had been done without any notification OF
it whatever being sent to the Jefferson Court. The
matter has created some feeling in Jefferson and the
District Attorney Of that parish has issued capias
for Jacksons re-arrest 1t very doabful however,
whether jackson will ever again be seen in these
parts
