Delaware State journal and statesman., 1869-07-16

Mr.. John MANI, worthy German, resia-
40 in Delaware, came to this city on July
d. He slrolled up the Bowery. A gentle
nan. probably one of Reddy's friends, en-
eavored to steal his watch. Mr.. MANI
,aueht the maleIactor in the act, and han0eo
lin over 10 the police, Both MANI ana inc
,ickpocket were taken before Alderman
Moore. We do not know what became ol
he pickpocket. Probably he was DISCHARGES
IN bail-that is; if he had any political lnilu- |
ence. But poor Manz was sent to the house |
Of Detention as witness. He says that ne
offered ball, and that his oAcr was rejected.
We can hardly credit this. He owns ma
chine shop in Delaware. During his incar-
ceration his workmen are out OF employ
mont, and his business is going TO the dogs
Years ago the Legislature OF tins state
passed a law prohibiting Aldermen from act
ing as police magistrates. That law, we gre
informed still stands on tue statute BOOKS
MIR. MANI asks us what he shall do. we ad-
wise him TO submit patiently, and, ON his re
lease, to sue either New York city or Alder
man Moore for damages. His case ought TO
command the attention OF the German hhl-
grafton Society. The Court which so care
fully committed Mr.. MANI to the House OF
Detention let Reddy the Blacksmith OH on
81, 900 bail, and thus in advance eonniveu al
his escape.
So says the New York Sun, OF last Tues
day. Mr.. MANI is well-kuown in tins city
as hard working, industrious mMehih'sl'
honest and inotlcnsive in all his dealings. II
the sun, or any person IN New Inil would
send this Alderman Moore on here lor Il lew
days he would find mmseli growing heauli-
fully less IN the presence oi onr rascal-eunnl
whpping-post and pil'ory. Aldermen
Moores of his grade OF honesty arc scarce il
| Delaware.
MIR. Man, alter heing held in custody io
SIX days, was most grncinusly released, ant
the ilici sent lo Jail for five years.
