The law on this subject Is stated, we think

In our deliberations upon this case Of Mr.
| Bradley we have not deemed il proper to close
our eyes to the fact that on previous occasion
De had charged another one Of the Justices of
this court (Mr Justice Olin) with falsehood in
open court, and in language even more Often
sive tnan that uttered 10 Judge Fisher. and
waslet of with a sentence TO pay an insiSnifi-
cant fine, and that never enforced. Ii al
lowed 10 go on, no one can tell where this
thing will stop. Already this same insult has
been thrown in the face of one-half our num-
ber We do not mean i: shall go further. The
mat we nave no power IN general term 70 pun

court, or for a challenge sent by Il member OF

nent. and To the country demands at our hands
MN maintenance of such authority as has
been lett 10 us.
With a proper spirit on the part of Mr.
Bradley there would be no difficulty in framing
an apology which would be satisfactory TO the
Criminal Court, as well as this, and be credi.
table 10 himself. The absence of this spirit has
hitherto been the only obs 4cle 10 his restor,
ton. We entertain a sincere respect for MS
age, Tor his learning and ability in the profess
SION. We have felt n to be a painfnl duty IN
exclude him from the bar of which he was the
ackno1 lodged leader. and where we have often
witnessed his triumphs.
These sentiments have been shown ia our
pros ee0ings from the very commencement. The
difficulty between Judge Fisher and himseI,
arose in The course OF the trial of Surratt IN the
summer Of 1867. That trial commenced in the
month OF June, and continued through a De.
rod OF two months. The courtroom was
crowded constantly, and the heat most ex-
hansting. The health of Court and counsel
was affected. and irritability of temper was
natural particularly on the part of counsel for
the defence. We took all this into consider
alton, and when we met In October we Thought
II best 10 ignore for the time the order Of dis
mlssal made by Judge Fisher and allow Mr.
Bradley an opportunity TO retract his language
and his letter, and apologize for both. Tim
sumcleht had elapsed, as We thought, for him
TO have regained his health and his self.com-
mand, and TO have taken a calm and impas-
stoned review OF his position. We then issued
our rule upon him 10 show cause why he
should not be punis he'd for CONTEMPT OF court
IN
specifications, one the use of offensive language
20 Judge Fisher IN the Criminal Court. which
we then thought was branch of our iurisdic-
ton, and the other the letter 10 Judge Fisher,
TO which repeated reference has already been
made.
But his return 10 that rule was not such as we
hoped 1t would be, and our order OF dismissal
from the bar was the consequence He then
applied 10 the Supreme Court of the United
States Tor mdHdGn0ts 10 compel us to restore
him, and thar court granted the JaaRddmHs AT
Its present Term. That also was a res uit which
We had not looked 10 possible but we
have obeyed the manda by res hiding orr or
der OF dis missal. Self protection. the authori-
~ and life OF the very court We're at stake, and
this LED TO The adoption of the rule against the
application OF wnI b, 10 his case. Mr.. Bradley
protests IN the present paper. The res ult OF
all tnese proceedings, so tar al he Is concerned,
IS. that the ntOadGHUS which he has Obtained.
takes him away flom the jurisdiction of this
court IN general term, and RENTS him TO the
Criminal Court, where the trouble commenced
It's not our intention TO resciud the rule we
nave adopted, or shrink from its application
IN proper case. but we recommend 10 Mr.
Bradly, IN slnCege spirit of concihation, tina,
ne make tDe fequIted reiractiOn and apology to
the CRIMINAL Court, and thus prevent ats an.
plicatIoE TO his case. The result Is III hi, own
