Court of Quarter Sessions-sIudge Brewster.
This morning Judge Brewster called attention to
the case OF the notorious Jimmy Haggerty fugitive
from justice, and inquired of Lieutenant John Curly
who had charge of the benchwarrant for his produc
tion what had been done in his case. The officer
hands he had made the most digent efforts to secure
Haggertys arrest but all to purpose. He had re-
peatedy been to the fellows former haunts and had
visited his old quarters at Eleventh and SAMSON
streets, night and day. lie could safely say that ne
mad searched thirty different houses where he was
supposed TO be- and had never laid eyes upon him.
Judge Brewster remarked that it was said he was
still in the city.
The Lieutenant acknowledged it, and said he was
informed that he was engaged in row at Eleventh
and SAMSON streets very recently and he at once re-
paired TO the place with force of policemen, but no
one at all was to be seen in the vicinity.
The Judge said he had no doubt that the Lieu
tenant well deserved his high reputation for zeal in
the discharge OF his duties; but the citizens of
Philadelphia are at an expense of millions of dollars
for the maintenance of police force, they GER
tany expected better things of that force than that
one man should successfully set at defiance the
whole community.
The officer assured his Honor that he would do his
utmost to bring the fugitive in and departed to the
further prosecution Of his search
The foregoing matter being concluded, and then an
almost coTlstnliH cast was discussed In the of
Officer Hill, concerning whose assault and battery
case so much has been said and written, the attend
ance OF Mr. Hill, who was the complainant, the Com
monwealth has been unable to secure. Finding that
the summons of the Court was of no effect, Judge
Brewster yesterday directed one of the Court officers
to take the necessary warrant for his arrest This
morning this officer reported that he had gone to the
Navy Yard where Mr. Hill was at work, but was told
that he had gone away. He then went TO his house,
but could not find him there. Therefore he had
reason to believe he had left the city.
Judge Brewster-Did you search his house ?
Ofcer-No, sir; did not know had the power
TO do SO.
Judge Brewster-Well, sir, you have that power,
and it Is your duty to do so. Return and make the
search, and let me know the result
With this instruction the officer departed.
