WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH Is, Is

some debris Of wagonyard. Yesterday Mr.. Emer.
son had these things sent down to the First District
Court. They loaded two drays, and were taken down
with the necessary document by officer Doettling.
Chartres street in front Of the Courthouse s always
barricaded during Court hours. The officer took
down the barricades, and had the drays unloaded in
front Of the Courthouse. The articles were carried
in and piled in heap inside the entrance, at the foot
of the stairs; and Doettng formerly announced their
safe arrival and deposit below to the Court
Judge Hunt asked the officer who had sent the
things. Doettlng replied, Mr.. James Coffee, Assist.
ant Clerk of Recorder Summers Court he having
received his orders from that officer. The Judge dis
missed him and sent an attachment after Mr. Coffee.
That gentleman, being brought into Court, and
confronted with the Judge, was questioned rather
severely as to where be got his authority for sending
the cart wheels and shafts to the Court. The Judge
asked him If it was done by Recorder Summers Or
ders Mr.. Coffee replied no, for the reason that the
Recorder out OF town. and could not have issued
the order. The Judge then wanted to know who had
delegated to him the authority to do such thing.
He replied, Mr.. Emerson, the head clerk.
Coffee, judging that the Judge felt like grinding
him else in the mill Of justice for con-
tempt OF Court took occasion to add that he believed
Mr.. Emerson to be innocent OF any intent to offend
| the Court, or commit contempt, he being under
orders to send to the Court all recovered property in
committed larceny cases. The Judge stated that he
did not charge any one with contempt but he spoke
of the useessness of sending such cumbersome stuff
to Court and wished to know who had ordered it to
be sent. He thought it strange that such stuff should
be sent, when small articles, easy of transmission,
were frequently not sent. Coffee was discharged,
and went his way rejoicing.
A distorted report Of this affair being commune
Gated to Mr.. Emerson, that gentleman spent some
time on St. Charles street, cock-tang around with
his friends, and keeping one eye open for Deputy
Sherifs. His watch was useless, however. He had
not been arrested up to late hour last night.
