The CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY CAsE-Yes.
tsrday morning Deputy Warden Giddings, Of the
county Jail, appeared before Judge Fisher, having
In charge George =. Hotchkiss, in accordance with
the writ Of habeas corpus issued yesterday 1t will
be remembered Hotchkiss was committed to Jail on
Saturday last by Major Richards and Justice Wal
ter for contempt, BY refusing to pay over to the
property clerk certain money held by him. Messrs
Norris and Fendall appeared for the petitioner,
and Jos, II. bradley, jr., for the prosecution.
The case was opened by Mr. Fenda who argued
that Hotchkiss came In possession Of the money In
bis private capacity, and he was not subject to the
orders Of the Of Police He referred
to the 18th Statutes at large, page $685. section H.
which prsscribes the duty Of the Property Clerk,
and he oontended that the police had nothing to do
with this money as 1t was taken out Of the District
Mr.. Bradley said that the counsel had not quoted
the law of July 49, 1906 and he referred to section
Z, which provides that all persons practicing the
business Of detectives outside tho police shall OBJ.
taiulauthority from the Board and shall give bond
and make provision that arrests shall BE- brought
to the Metropolitan police station. and the laws
and regulations Of the force shall be applicable to
them. These mon (constables) being Of . class
whose business Is restricted 10 civil business by law
cannot attempt to practice the vocation Of detect
ives, for which they are not legally qualified.
Judge Fisher said he would like the following
points to be discussed: LIST. Has Justice Of the
Peace, or the Superintendent of Police acting ss
such, tho power to commit q private detective for
contempt In refusing to obey his mandate3 Cd
II he has then has Justice or the Superintendent
the power to look behind the commitment 3d. II
he can look behind the commitment, has any con.
tempt been committed, provided the act Of larceny
involved dono outside Of the District, and the
property taken from tho thieves outside the Dis
trot, and both property and thieves brought within
IT. 4th. is the want Of Limitation Of time In the
commitment fatal to itr
Mr.. Bradley said he maintained that Justices Of
the peace including the Superintendent, had power
to commit for contempti that Justice Of the Su-
preme Court had no power, when sitting In haJeas
corpus case, to look behind the commitment that
there was contempt committed even though the
arrest was made out Of the District.
Mr.. Norris for the defence argued that no offence
had been committed against the Superintendent Of
Police. The commitment was false and defective
In tht II does not state what mandate Of the court
was disregarded. lie read from the seventh section
Of the act Of July 1866 and stated that there was
no penalty for q violation Of Its provisions.
The counsel furnished authorities on the quss-
tions asked by the Judge, and the Judge stated
that II being an important case he would consider
It, and announce his decision at 10 O'Clock this
morning.
