with cheers. Mr.. Twced's counsel was taken greatly
by surprise when Judge Bedford announced that
the prisoner was committed without bail, John
Graham at once declaring that they denied the
right of the court TO commit in that manner. The
writ of hGbeds c0Tp"s granted by Judge Barnard IN
tercepted Tweed his way to the city prison, and
he was forthwith brought back to the Supreme
Court room, where an excited crowd was gathered

upon to keep order. Mr.. Graham opened the
case by stating that Tweed had been indicted

Mr.. Graham in his remarks which referred to

only upon the point of admitting prisoner to bail;
Mr. O'Conor followed, contending that Tweed
should be held in such bail as was justified by the
magnitude of the crime. When the counsel had
concluded, Judge Barnard said it would never do

from the ordinary of procedure, and order.
