A CASE FOR CouRr-On the 9th instant
warrant was issued by Justice E. Ii. Bates
upon the information and oath of Peter D. Bet
ticher, who charged A. Feckles with swind-
ting and demanding him out OF 1851 on the
eth day of March, 1851. Feckles was arrested
by detectives Bigley and Kelly, who took the
case before Justice Miller on the 25th instant.
The complainant had q private conversation
with the defendant, and returned to the JUS
tice ard informed him that he did not wish to
prosecute, as the defendant had paid him the
money. TIE Justice told him that he had
nothing to do with their settlement, his busi-
ness being to try the case upon the warrant
before him. MIR. Betticher was sworn, and
testified, clearing Feckles of all felonlsus in
tent, showing that FecKles was not the prin.
Cipal, but only the representative of a man
named Becker, in Philadelphia, and merely Sc
lected the goods. Justice Miller decided that
as there was DO evidence against Feckles the
case against him should be dismissed. But as
the evidence before him was that Bettlcher
swoTe 10 the warrant, and subsequently re.
Ceiyed money and endeavored to have the
case dismissed, and failing in that gave evil
dence TO clear the accused and implicate a
party absent from the city, he would require
MIN 10 give bail for court for perjury and COM
pounding a felony. Betticher declared that
Justice Bates issued the warrant without an
oath, and he (Betticher) never swore to the
statement of warrant. Justice Miller held
MIN TO bail in $50; and Feckles was also re-
quired 10 give bail rs witness to appear at
court

q natural delicacy to undertaking the Job FL
nally woman WAS procured by the name OF
CTutchiy who undertook to settle the point,
