STRIKE AMoS8 THE NEGRO CooPERs At
THE WAREHoUsEs.-Ther has been for
some days past an evident disposition on
the part Of the negro coopers employed In
the various tobacco warehouses in this city
to strike for higher wages, and 1t culmi-
mated in all Of them banding together on
Monday and demanding an increase from
sl:35 to sI.50 per day. The inspectors
refused to acquiesce in their demand,
with the exception Of one warehouse,
which had large break on that day,
and were compelled to employ their coop
ers at the advanced rate. Yesterday,
however, all the inspectors Of tobacco
in the city resolved not TO yield to tho
demands Of the coopers; and they are
consequently now walking about the streets
or standing at the corners near tho ware
houses in squads brewing mischief. This
step will cause trouble TO the tobacco trade
for day or two only. as measures viii 10

INTERESTING CASE BEFORE JUDGE LYONS
WITNESSES REFUSE To TESTIFY, ARE FINED
AND SENT To JAIL, AND APPLY FOR WRIT
or HABEAs CoRPUs.-During the sitting Of
the Hastings Court Of Magistrates on yes
terday, and while the Grand Jury were in
session, three witnesses, William Is. Crump,
Zebulon ID. Lancaster, and John NJ. Wood
ing, were sworn in court, and sent to the
grand jury to give evidence In the case Of
William ii. Duke, for exhibiting faro, then
under investigation before that body.
These witnesses refused to give evidence
in the GRANDEUR room, and the jury sent
them into court, and asked what should be-
done with them. Upon being questioned
in court, and still refusing TO answer any
question propounded to them, they were
committed to Jail for contempt of court
for thirty days and assessed with fine Of
800 each. This action was taken by the
court under a law passed by the Legisla-
ture at its late session giving the courts
power to fine and commit in cases where
witnesses refused to testify in cases OF un-
lawful gaming. The parties were remanded
to Jail, and sued ont a writ of hdbedS cor
pus, which was granted by Judge Lyons,
and came up for hearing before him on
yesterday evening. The petitioners were
represented by Messrs. Johnson 4 Guigon
and Ould & Darlington. Messrs. y. A.
Sturdivant and R. 7. Daniel represented
the Commonwealth.
The points made by the counsel for the
prisoners were that, first, the contempt
did not come under any of the specihca-
tions Of theslaw and secondly, that tho
Legislature had no power to give any
court the right to punish without trial.
After heightened argument by coun-
sci, the Judge decided that no court had
the right to interfere with the actions OF
another court while 1t was In session that
in this case the orders had not been sign
ed, and there fore, in the law, IL was still
in session, and he would therefore con-
tinue the case and remand the prisoners TO
custody. An application for bail was re.
fused. The case will probably be called
this afternoon.
