HABEAs CoRPUs-Before Chief Justice
Cart1.-N. II. Miller filed yesterday IN appli.
cation for writ Of ha6eaS corpus in the case ol
Daniel Kramer.
The application alleged that Kramer had been
arrested upon the warrant Of Justice William
Martin, by County Constable A. l., Allen, and
that that officer now held him by direction Of
Justice Martin, but without authority of law,
and wrongfully.
Mr.. Miller insisted that Officer Allen had no
right to arrest under Justice Martins warrant.
He lad arrested, however, and the trial had
been proceeded with before Justice Martin, who
gave Kramer In charge Of Officer Allen. 1t was
to test the right Of the officer to hold him that
he asked the habeaS corpus.
Judge Cartier. What is ho charged with!
Mr.. Miller. Stealing 4 cow but 1t Is only an
effort to get money out Of him. He sold or ex.
changed COW with woman, and now she is
dissatisfied, and wants to get back the COW or
her value.
Mr.. NJ, was very anxious to yentilate this mat
ter fo- the purpose of showing how business Is
done In some Offices.
The Court could not grant the writ asked for,
however desirable II might be that the methods
Of proceeding In Justices Courts should be ex.
amiped. Whatever may have been the right Of
Officer Allen to arrest Kramer, he was now In
his custody, as a deputy Of Justice Martin,
Justice M. had right to take custody Of a
party for the purpose Of examination, and u
right also, to deputize another person, whether
IN officer or not, to have that custody. Ha5eaJ
corpus would not lie in such q case. 30 the ap-
plication was refused.
