ber The magistrate stated that he should require Mr.
Hurry to give ball. to appear and prosecute in the sum

This was speedily furnished, and Mr.. Hurry, after
weeks confinement was once more restored to lib
erty.

criminal off pse obtainsd warrants, on the strength OF
Uurrys atdsvita for the arrest of the above-naned
persoDs on a charge Of gambling Had the magistrate
known the position occupied by Hurry at that time he
probably would have refused to grant the warrants on
the ground that bis evidence was not competent TO
sustain the charge. However, the officer succeeded
in obtaining the warrants, which he carried in his
pocket several days before returning them Meantime
he had ample opportunity to arrest all of them and
if he had made the slightest exerti.n could have Sc
cured them in the act of gambling, and seized upon
their gambling Implements, thus making good the
charges against them. Bot he preferred TO have them
notified of the exietenoe Of the warrants, that they
might take their own time 10 respond to them which
they did az already shown.
