BALTIMORE, Nov ll.-There is much interest
felt to learn the decision Of Judge Bartol on the
habeas corpus of the police commissioners ap-
pointed by Governor Swami to succeed the old
board, and in the case of Sheriff Thompson,
arrested and committed for not summonng
posse in answer to the requisition of the newly
appointed commissioners. The decision is ex-
pected to cover the whole ground as to the legality
of Governor Swanns action, and the consequent
legality or illegality of the proceedings in Judge
Bonds court. It is generally believed that Gov
Swami will immediately summon an extra session
of the legislature, when questions of great mo-
ment to the people of this State will be submitted
for consideration.
TORONTO, Nov 10.-The court met this morn
| ing at ten O'clock and resumed the FenaD trials
Several cases were called up, but owing to the
counsel for the defense not being prepared, they
were postponed. Finally, the case Of VIM. Hay
den, young man but twenty years OF age. was
reached and proceeded with. Several witnesses
were examined, who testified to having seen the
prisoner cross into Canada in a canal boat, ac.
companied by several hundred others, and to also
having seen him mounted and armed at Fort Erie.
They further testified that he e2torted money
from them by threats. and stated that the Saxon
rule in Canada was extinct ana lie had come over
to take the place. The defense produced several
adfdaYits showing the previous good character Of
the prisoner. The jury, however, returned YER
dict of guilty, and he was sentenced to be hung on
the 18th of December next.
