| THE MAYOR AND THE REooRDER.-Day officer
Frank Grace (as is elsewhere mentioned) was yes.
terday sent to prison for twentyfour hours, by Re-
| corder Emerson for contempt of his authority.
IN refusing to release prisoner upon his order
| 1t is of course understood that Grace dsobeved
the Recorders order upon the positive order Of
the Mayor and Chief of Police, who would have
dismissed him had he obeyed the Recorder.
After Grace went to prison, it was expected that
the Mayor would take him out by habeas corpus,
and thus bring the whole matter before one of the
higher Courts. But the Mayor did not do this:
neither did he remove the peremptory order posted
in the lookup, under which the day and night Off
GERS will have to continue dsobeyng orders of the
Recorder similar to that which Grace had refused
to obey, and for which he was sent to prison. So
the issue is no nearer a settlement than BEFORE
The Recorder, finding that no steps were taken by
the Mayor to rescue the officer who had been sent
to prison for obeying his orders, himself ordered
the release of Grace last evening.
The Recorder has able legal advisers and, as we
learn, will take another method of forcing the
issue to legal settlement, but how soon we can
not state. For the peace, harmony, and good or
der OF our municipal system, we hope the settle
ment will be had without delay.
DIED OF HIS WouND.-The Coroner yesterday
held an inquest on the body of an unknown man,
German laborer, about rs years of age, who
died at Charity Hospital. The postmortem ey-
animation by DIR. Berthelot showed death to have
resulted from the rupture Of bleod-yessel in the
head, and hemofrhage and compression. The man
came, it was said, from the steamer Mars, and
several men, hands of that boat had been arrested
on suspicion of having dealt fonly with him. The
Coroner examined these men. One or two Of them
spoke Of fight on board but none knew who the
wounded man was, or who inflicted the wound
The Coronef's jury rendered verdict that though
they could not decide how or from what cause the
fatal injury WIS received they were still satisfied
that death resulted from blow in the head, in
feted by some person or persons unknown
FRsr DISTRICT coURr-Jttdge Rlat.-John A.

Of assault and battery; and, having been in prison
