Notice signed by Ziba Plumley, direct
ed to Isaac H. Balch, dated July 81, 1868,
put in, it was simply notice of having
taken horses, damage feasant. and to APP
pear and appoint appraisers.
A map of the locality, made by James
Brown, and referred to in his testimony,
was put into the case, and the defence
rested.
The court cautioned the jury against
talking about the case or forming any
opinions of the guilt or innocence OF the
prisoners until the case was closed, and
they had heard the whole evidence, the
arguments of counsel and the charge OF
the court. The effect which preconceived
opinions have upon the mind unconscious
" to the individuals, was adverted to, and
the caution was made emphatic by a
statement of the reasons why jurors
should not discuss cases or form opinions
in reference to them before the trial was
fully closed After which the court took a
recess until Q o'clock tomorrow morning.

An important Observation-Disclosures. of
CitiZcns---Wssi ~. Crane.

The case which excited - much COM
mout Mt the time, the arbitrary arrest of
Hiram Walker 10y Provost Marshal c. Il.
Crane, ha. formally been decided As the
occurrence took place in Rutland, it will
be Interesting To our readers to knox the
result, which is taken from the Free
Press
The ease of Walker Vs. Crane. which
has been frequently alluded 10 in our
columns. has recently reached "a final con-
clusion in the court of last resort. The
plaintiff is our worthy townsman
Hiram Walker The defendant was in
1864 L. 5. Provost Marshal, stationed at
Rutland Mr. Walker, as some of our
readers may remember, was in Rutland
attending 10 some business in reference to
procuring a substitute for a man in his
employ, WAS taken for bounty jumper
by Provost Marshal Crane. and rudely
ordered from his office. For resenting
this in not very carefully chosen language,
MIR. w alker was arrested by the Provost
Marshal and marched to Jail in charge of
a file OF soldiers. For this unlawful i'm
prisonment, Mr.. Walker brought suit,
obtained a verdict of 81 900 damages ia
the county and State courts; and the
Provost Marshal. or the Government,
which was underst ,od to be backing its
officer,) still appealing the case, it was car
ried to the Y. 5. circuit court with the
same result, and was finally carried to the
United States Supreme Court upon a
writ of error. The United States Attor-
ney General, Mr.. Evarts, being satisfied
that defence of the case could not be
maintained gave it up without argument.
The writ of error was dismissed, and the
Judgment of the Circuit Court, giving
Mr.. Walker 81 900 damages and his costs,
was affirmed. The point of law involved
was the right of the Provost Marshal to
arrest a citizen of Vermont, who was re-
senting the rudeness of the officer, and the
decision is that he had no such right, and
that no act of Congress could, under the
circumstances, give such right. We con-
gratulate Mr.. Walker, and Mr.. Edmunds,
who has been his attorney throughout, on
the result.
