THE COURTS.

CRIMINAL COURT, Justice OIin.-DIsoRDER
Lf HOUSE CASE case of Amos Pratt
LOT keeping disOrderly house, on trial yes
terday when we went to press was resumed
this morning, and witnesses for the defence
e1amin They set up as a defence that the
balls, &e, held there were legally authorized
and were not disorderly in their nature, and
closed at a reasonable hour of the night.
After argument to the Jury by Mr.. Pratt for
himself, and Darlington for the prosecution,
the Courtread the Indictment fround by tue
grand jury against said Pratt, and explained
10 the jury what, in the eyes OF the law, a dis.
orr cry house wac, ore in which people are
wont TO assemble at unreasonable hours and
make such noises and disturbances as dis
quiet the neighborhood. Every man has q
rlght TO peaceaole and quiet domicile, and
that he should have; and NO one has right to
set up and carry on such place, much less
have they right to collect together indiyidp-
AIS who will commit the nuisances described
be bsrne, but when it is the ordinary occur.
renee, then it must be stopped II this house
was OF such a character. and Pratt the propri.
etor, and be Knew these things occurred, then
he 10 responsible for it. II two or three dis
turbances had happened and he was unable to
prevent It, that would not necessarily consti-
tufe a disorderly house. But If males and fe-
males were accustomed to come
there regularly and keep up these
performances, then in the eyes of the law he is
the keeper Of disorderly house. The Judge
animadverted upon the remark of Pratt shat
he vas fearful that Justice might not be done
him d re, because he had endeavored to give
to the colored people OF this district the
same rights and privileges as the whites pos.
sessed," and said his (the Judge's) public rec
ord would prove that he had always endeay.
ored TO give the same rights aud
privileges to beth white and black
mat they were entitled to under the law
and he had no doubt the Jury would do the
same. IL you find the facts that this ian kept
a house OF the Kind l have described, then you
will find him guilty.
The Jnry retired and brought in a verdict OF
guilty, as indicted.
The Court said that he would hear any ex.
ceptons that would be taken Monday morn.
Ing, to which Mr.. Thompson agreed, and gave
notice OF the same, and the Court put Mr.
Pratt under 500 security for his appearance
