TIE TRIAL JUSTICES IN A QUANDkRY.-In
the dearth Of business which at present pre-
walls among this fraternity the following point
of law was raised, and excited some srgu-
ment, yesterday morning. Louis Walker,
colored, was committed to jail, in default OF
bail, few weeks since, by Trial Justice
Mackey, on the charge Of garotting and rooblng
another young robber of 81 IS. Yesterday hls
friends procured sufficient sureties, and upon
their signing the bond the committing trial
iusti.e issued an order upon the jailor to re-
lease the prisoner. This order the latter ON
cial refused to obey, under authority Of an Or
Ger issued some months back by Judge Gr's.
ham, in chambers, to the effect that prisoner
once committed by trial justice, for any
offence greater than breach OF the peace,
could not be released upon his giving bail to
the trial justice after his commitment, Ind
that the only way in which he could be bailed
was to bring him out by q habeas corpus. This
order has now the effect to enforce additional
expense upon the State by allowing the trial
justices TO make two bites at the cherry, by
always committing the prisoner in the first in
stance and then having habeds corpus to bail
lRlm In this way the accounts of trial JUS
Ice could be easily doubled. Under the old
magistrates things were different, and 1t is
hard to see why trial justice, having commit
ted prisoner for larceny, cannot order his
release upon his giving bonds with good BE-
curly.

A CoSF1soATED PIG.-At q late hour on
Wednesday night romantic young porker
was discovered in Rutle6se avenue taking q
walk "al frescon down that fashionable thor
oughiare. His gutteral expressions Of inter
nal satisfaction attracted the notice Of a
noddipg policeman, who Immediately gave
chase. The pig did his best, but the issue of a
race between fat hog and lean policeman is
by NO means doubtful, and the grunter was
soon captured. The swinlsh prisoner was
locked up, and brought before the Mayor yes
terday morning. The case was q grave one.
Pigs in pen, within the limits Of the city,
were unsparingly fined, but what was to be
dope with pig who thus braved the city au-
th6rities and intruded upon the surreptuous
nap of leaden-eyed policeman ? After due
consideration the prisoner was declared 10 be
forfeited. The sentence Is heavy, but the
prisoner awaits its execution with epicureau
resignation. To whom he Is forfeited, and by
whom is he to be eaten, is still matter oi
doubt. But it is probable that the Almshouse
will be the recipient of his bloody carcass.
