arms. TO produce in court the bodies OF tl!Icc
members of the Legislature alleged to nc
for:iblv detained and deprived OF thcir
liberty.
Judge Dibble granted all the processes
asked for by the Warmouthites, and ordered
the writs to issue and be served. Ihey were
Dlaced in the hands Of the sheriff, who at
tempted to serve them this ?. NJ, but was
refused admittancc to the hall where the Car
tertes were in session. The Court, there
fore. applied to the Governor for military
posse to enfore its orders. About D O'Clock,
when these facts Leclme known, an immense
crowd rapidly assembled around the hall OF
the Caltcrites, on Royal street between Ca
nal and Custom-IIouse streets. About the
same hour Il battalion of infantry and com
panv of the Metropolitan Police, with liked
| bevoncts,--al under command OF Colonel
Sulliras-moycd from the State-horlse down
Canal street, turning into CuStonl-llouSe street
at the Old Leree, and thence to Royal street,
where they were halted.
This movement produced intense excite
ment. The crowd in Royal street increased
rapidly, and in 4 few minutes extended two
or three squares on either side. The crowd
seemed greatly excited, and riot was feared.
The stores in the vicinity were closed. Colo
mel SquireS, taking the sheriff by the arm,
then advanced to the door Of the Legislature
and demanded that the sheriff be allowed al
mission to serve the writS of the court.
After parlcy the sheriff served his wrlts,
and the military moved hack to the Me
chanics' Institute. The Cartcrites evidently
| regarded this action of the militia rs tarora-
bic, and gave them hearty cheers as they
passed I'D Royal street, the crowd giving way
as thev approached. The crowd then re-
assembled around tie legislative hall, calling
| loudly for Carter, who came out and de-
| lvercd q brief speech, stating that he had
| lust received from the United States Marshal
| L communication saying that General Emory
had informed him (the marshaD that III con-
sequence Of the nefariouS course Of Governor
Yarmouth Emory would support him no
| longer. Great applause followed the an
nouncemcnt, showing that the sympathics of
the large concolIrsc. of citizens there approved
of Emoly's action.
Carter spoke Il few minutes longer, and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
Speeches We're also made by Mr.. EustiS and
Judge Cotton. who maintained that the SYM
pathies of the people were with the Carter
ties, because they stood pledged to repeal four
odiols and oppressive measures-the con-
stabulary, the Metropolitan police, the cleo
ton, and the printing laws.
The Injunction before the Eighth District
Court, above mentioned, will he tried next
| Wednesday. 4 hGJedS corpus writ has been
