CHICAGO, January 1s.-A New York
special contains a startling develop
ment with reference to the CrimiSal
Court of that city, or what Is known
as the Court Of Oyer and Terminer.
1t seems that a case is now pending IN
tho Court of Appeals, a decision OF
which may set free every nan now
undergoing imprisonment, In accord
anco with a sentence by the former
tribunal, since 1853. This Court has
been presided over by q Judge Of the
Supreme Court, sitting alone, but 1t
transplres that the Act Of that year
was repealed by the Charter Of 1870,
leaving tho constitution Of the Court
Of Oyer and Terminer to be deter
mined by the Act of ls47, which pro-
vlded for a Supreme Judge and two
Associate Judges. This curious state
Of things is given additional interest
by the fact that If the Criminal Court
Is decided to be Illegal, the indictment
of Stokes by the Grand Jury impair
neled and charged by that Court, is
void. It Is claimed that this would
grant him immunity from any punish
ment for his crime.
