TIE CASE OF TIE BALTIMORE POLICE CoMsIs-
sIoSERs--As ATTAcHMEsT AGAINST THE SHERIF1
APPLIED FoR AND DESIED.--Some days since counsel
for tho Baltimore Police Commissioners, now confined
ID Fort Lafayette applied to Judge Garrison Of the
County Court order against the Sheriff, Anthony
+. Campbell, requiring him show causs why en- st
| tachment should not issue against him for contempt
upon the ground at his TO the attachment and
Treceps were insufficient. Mr.. A. r. Wood Of council
for tue Commissioners contended that the Sheriff should
have called p3sSe eomiiatHs. The law had armed
him with the whole force Of the county to execute
prooess and he had night 10 say that lie had not
power sufficient to arrest Col. Burke until be had fret
exerted aud exhausted tie power invested in him. and
If that was insufficient then the fact should 70 appear
| in bi. return.
Tire process commanded the Sheriff to bring the
Police Commissioners into Court and return excuses
or usies hs failure DO unless it appears that he
called out the power Of the county and it refused to
respond or that was nsdequate to Overcome the APP
pretended resistance. Il not to be assumed that
the process could NOS be executed, that the law
could not be vndcated and that therefore wond not
be advisable to encourage proceedings which mighs
bring on collision between the civil and military au-
thoses. The exhct contrary should be assumed, and
if the military authorities set the process OF the Court
at defiance IL en- the responsibility rested with those
who resisted the laws and not with those who sought
70 execute it. Yesterday morning Judge Garrison
notified counsel as follows: 81 decline 70 make an
order requiring the Sheriff to chow cause why, &C.,
because believe the Sheriff to have acted in good
ah in hi. attempt to the two processes, and
consider bis return therefore as sueieient."
