CITY INTELLIGENCE.

extended upon the pavement, when pistol was
fired, the ball taking effect in the calf of his rghteg
and passing through it. Five minutes previous to
the firing of the pistol, officers Ridgeway and Be-
vans passed dcwn French street and observed the
three prisoners standing near the spot whence the
pistol was fired. The prisoners were talking to a
hack-driver when the officers passed. As soon
as the shot was fired the officers returned
and were informed that man was shot, and that
the prisoner with the black moustache Miller had
fired the pistol. The officers started in pursuit of
the party, chased them up French to Monument
street, and down Monument nearly to Ashland
square, where the fugitives were stopped by the
officers on that beat. When Officer Ridgeway took
hold of Hull, the prisoner remarked that he had
not fred the pistol. When Officer Bevans arrested
Miller, he merely asked the question, what he was
arrested for, and when told that a man had been
shot, he made no reply. Deputy States Attorney
Pinckney asked for their committal for court and
Mayor Ford refusing to take bail, they were ac-
cordingly sent to Jail. Miller is the same man who
was lately tried for the murder of Thomas Lay burn
In February last at the Belair market.
A JUDICIAL OUTRAGE.-In The Wecker of the l4th
inst, we lind the mention of case which recently
happened in the Criminal Court the facts of which
would seem to justify all the Indignation that is
expressed by that journal, and shared by a large
number OF German citizens, upon the subject. Ac-
cording to the statement in The Wecker, which we
are assured is strictly true, about two weeks ago.
Mr.. Schiller, highly respectable machinist whose
shop is situated on Holiday street. near Saratoga,
had occasion to correct his son, which he did with
out the exercise OF undue severity. The lad com
planned of the chastisement to the police of the
neighboring station-house, and, exhibiting a flesh
wound received in fall a few days previous,
charged that it had been inflicted by his father.
A bench warrant was obtained, and Mr.. Schiller
was taken before Judge Stump, who upon hearing
the testimony Of the officers, who simply repeated
the story OF the boy, sentenced Mr. s. to IA DAYS
confinement in the common Jail. All this happened
within few short hours, and Mr.. Schiller had
neither time nor opportunity given him to employ
counsel or procure testimony in his defence. His
term of imprisonment has Just expired, and The
HecEer which has taken pains, it US, to sft
thoroughly the facts of the case, appends to its
statement some very pertinent remarks, suggested
by the obvious contrast between the summary dispo
sition made of Mr.. Schiller's case and that DELAY
or rather indefinite postponement of justice, in
which notorious rufidns and desperadoes are in
dulged.
RoBBERY.-A daring robbery was perpetrated
about O'Clock Saturday morning at the residence
