JUDGE RUSSELL AND THE PUGILisTs.-On Tuesday
night, the notorious Billy Mullgan committed as has
been reported most cowardly assault upon Frank
McCabe one of the propretors of the Malta Salon. at
the corner of Tbirte, nth street and Broadway. Ii
appears that there has long been some feeing exist
ing between these men, and on Tuesday evening, as
MoCabe was standing at the OF Prince street aud
Broadway, Muligsn approached him and struck him
several violent blows in tho face with the butt OF his
pistol. McCabe was partially stunned by the first
blow and unable TO offer much resistance, and a.
consequence was frigbtfuly cut and bruised IN the
face Both men we're arrested aud locked up in the
Eight Ward Station House, but were not doomed to
protracted incarceration. Judge Russell having been
cent for, speedily appeared, and Immediately opened
Court TIE prisoners were summoned before him,
when he forthwith ordered their release upon their
Furnishing bail in the sum $500 each to appear before
a magistrate. The following morning Mr.. Muligan
presented himself before Justice Quac kenbu,h, bat
McCate failed to appear. OF course, the magistrate
could do nothing but take the officer complaint for
6isorderly nduct and Mulgan was required to give
bail in $500 to keep the peace.
The only interest attaching to the case is in the fact
that this is the third time within week that Judge
Russell hss reeased his friends from confinement In
Sta ion-Houses. On Monday night p. G. Burke,
keeper of porter -houe of Spring and Sullivan
streets arrested for assau and battery, was allowed
TO depart from the Eighth Ward Sta,icn-House by
order of this co avepient Judge On Friday night last
three dieorderly characters were released from the
Fifth Ward Stalion-House BY the same means On
this last occason the Sergeant in charge offered some
oppos ion when the all powerful Judge Is said to have
threatened to arrest him, even the Police Commits
sioners, if they nterfered with him.
