audience. There are few indeed of the

who have not witnessed the thrilling play

features is excelled by none Of the darkest
conception, OF Maturin. 1t il, we think. Of
all the characters in the repertoire Of Miss

give full scope to the immense tragic
powers which that lady possesses-a power
that comes up to our own conception of the

We speak of 'Ea>: Lynne without for

displayed in this latter character. it has
not the scope OF Lody Isabel for there is

Seventh District Ceurt-Ludge COllens and
the Migrants.

Judge Collens. Of the Seventh District
Court. rendered yesterday an important
and lengthy decision in the case of James
Tiernay, an alleged vagrant, praying for a
habeas cOrpus to release him from the
WorAhouse. James Tiernay was arrested
under the new vagrant act, ana this deei
sion gives a different construction to said
act to that lately given by Judge Cooley, of
the Sixth District Court. Judge Collens
holds that the act does not infringe the con-
stitutional right to trial by jury; that such
right was never recognized in England or
this country, where an arrest is made under
a law which is merely preventive of crime.
The imprisonment IN such eases is not to
enforce i penalty for crime committed, but
a precautiOn against the committal of the
act. and the prisoner is entitled to his free
dom upon givin. bond, or upon making sat,
istactory proof that he does not properly
come within the vagrant act: for example.
II ne is Il proper object for charity, he Will
be released. and turned over to charita BILE
institution.

Hence. II is clear that un'ler the general
law OF Louisiana. and in every par; of the
State. any person living in ,ileness, without

The order, therefore, is that the prisoner
