Vice Consul in Paris.
The great political event o. the week has been the
judgment rendered by the Court OF Appeals in The cee
brstsd oaire de neise Soon after the elections TOT
the Corps Legsla which resulted in the return OF nine
opposition members from nine circumscriptions OF Paris
N. GARNER Pages, one Of the returned members ana
twelve other persons arrested charged with hav
ing been members Of an illegal committee They were
also for violation Of the law, which prohibits tne
meeting any purpose Of twenty persons more with
out special authorization from the police authorizes
They claimed their trial before the tribunal Of poice
that they electoral committee and as slch
had perfect right to assemble for purposes onnecIed
with the election Tho tribunal, however, after onS
trial, condemned thcm each to fine Of five hundred
francs From this decision they appealed, and upon ns
appeal the higher court has just confirmed In iul the
judgment Of the lower one.
The Court rendered decision Wednesday morning
That appears from the whole OF the
that has been seized that the object OF the ASSOCIATION
incrmiuated not consultation but action, ana thas
its object propaganda OF the most active and ex
tepsive description not Paris Alone but also roueh
out the country; that the defendants are wrong my
right assemble In conformity with the law, cont'n-
Rency in which the Court is not called upon to pronounce
mtees thing else the moment that they assume the
Gestures OF association they become subject to the
common law and are subjected to the anthorlzaon o.
the Therefore, the electoral character OF
the committee does place out Of the provisions Of
the peual code and the law OF 1884,
And to back up this decision the law holds that Inc
above principles ar from being contrary to the rights
OF the and the laws Of the country the de-
PENDANTS allcge these principles maintain and proIec'
Marseles committees may all be considered as forming
body, and shat the DEFENDANTS allegation that thir
teen persons cannot be lawfully charged with forming an
association Of than twenty is Jprt
and de fdo The judgment also declares the committee
10 be can occult power the existence Tor which IS
permanent menace against public peace and security"
The importance Of this judgment Is immense. II 1t bt
sustained by the Court Cessation to which the de-
PENDANTS have appealed 1t will virtually extend 70 cleo
MAKE the meeting OF such committee Impossible with
out an authorization from the government. This wout
government all the machinery IT can command
elect lis candidates, but the opposition II this decson
sustained are not 10 be allowed to employ any means
liberals here ct this decision.
