WHAT THE STATUTES SAY.
The Chief seemed to rely for his authority to

State. upon tho following statute, which will be
found upon pago 3s7 Of tho second volume Of tho
neyiaed Ordinances Of tho State Of Illinois !:
"Every person who shall fight in this State, or
agreo in THIS State to fight either in or out of
this State, or who shall train in this State to
fight, or shall go, or attempt to go, out Of this
State to fight in any other State, place, or Tarri-
tory, or shall In any, way or manner aid,
oee 1E assss any aht Sher ptso to fight
out Of this State, What il commonly
called priza-hght, every such porson ahatl
be deemed guilty Of a high misdomeanor, and
hnoment In tho County Jail for any period not
leBa than si1 months, nor moro than ono year,
md be fined not 1oaa than $500 nor more than
$1,000.
Ho thought tat the fighters, having con-
tracted to fight in this State, and tho seconds
and backorB having been chosen here, when
brought baok to tho CITY were under tho juristio-
tion Of the courts Of the city, where tho ofenso
w2s comrnitted AB to The spectators and 70.
porters, he had nothing to say, except that II it
could be proven that they aided or abettod they
could be hold.

though the nrreat WAS illegal il made In Indiana
aud, although the parties could not bo tried hero
for prize-aghting, yet, II thoY had contracted
hore to fight, they wero now under tho juriAdic-
tion Of our courts, and could be sentenced for
having agreed to fight. To Ill inquiry as to how
tho partica would bg disposed Of, he aald
thoy would all bo takon boforo Justice
scully tomorrow morning, and regularly ex-
