Rg> An Indiana man was travelling down the
Ohio on a steamer with a mare and two
year-old colt, when by sudden careen Of the
boat, all three were tilted into the water. The
Hoosier, as he rose, putting and blowing above
the water, caught hold of the tail of the colt,
not having doubt but that the natural in
stincts of the animal would carry him safe to
the shore. The old mare made for the land,
but the frightened colt swan Justify down the
current with its owner still hanging fast
"Let 60 of the colt and hang on to the mare!"
shouted some of his friends. "Booh !" ex-
claimed the Hoosier, spouting the water from
his mouth "t's mighty fine telling me to let
20 the colt; but to man who can't swim,
this amt exactly the time for swapping
horses"

THE RAFFERTY, SUPERSEDEAS.

What yvns 1t IS Omission, Ignorance or Negll-
9cncc ~
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
SIT: In tho issue Of your valuable paper Of Feb
49, the 6tatea Attorney published letter containing
statements une1amplcd for boldnees, and to tho effect
that the telegram to TIE TRIBUNE from Springfield,
announcing that Pertects neck was saved BY the omis
aion Of mandate from the Supreme Court, false
and unfounded.
As currently reported that 31r. Reed hsd taken
legal counsel from tree Of the best aurers fn the city
before publishing said letter, the statements therein
contained caused quite scnaatton among the legal
fraternity aud SET them to locking up autho1ities
The books nre plain and clear upon the question H.
volyed In the Perfect and Rafferty, cases.
FtrstThe old common law doctrine ia H follows ::
Court and Judgment has been rendered, it Is to be
rented sent back to the Court below for the pur~
pose Of retrying the cause when the judgments has
has been affirmed The act of returning the record,
and TIE wit Issued for that purpose, bear the name
Steond-In our latess statutes under IS practice
governing Suprae Court is the following section
"Vhen cause or proceeding is remandea by the
Supreme Court renandtne the aame being
fled in the Court from which the cause
or proceeding was removed, and not less
than len days notice thereof being given to the adverse
party or bis attorney the causo Of proceeding shall be
retustatel therein"
Tnfd-1n answer to the claim Of the States Attorney
going to trial without making the objection, will
simply say that II the cauae WIS not properly before
fendat could not waive any Of his lights BY going to
trial without making objections
a waiver Of objections, and going to trial cannot
give the Court jurisdiction.
This question has been decided BY cur Supreme
Court within the psst month.
II the Jurisdiction Of Court could be redfred by

ANOTHER JURY-FEES DECISION.

The Superior Court Clerk Applies to tho Court
for DIrections--Judge Porter Decides for

cords PLUM Opinion Of the Injustice OF the
Law.
Nal Stephenson yesterday applied to Judge Porter
for his opinion to the legal fees payable to uEyen
Judge Gary declining point-blank to acquiesee In
tho orders OF the County Commissioners as re-
cards tho Criminal Court, and ut the same time
to interfere with tho Superior Court, over which he
considered Judge Porter to hare jurisdiction in this
question: it became the obvious duty Of the Superior
Court Clerk to obtain the opinion Of the LATTER and to
govern himself accordingly. Besides, It TaH not In
nature to longer resist the protesting Jurors without
the authority of his o7n Court His Honor delivered
the following opinion:
The provision Of the lsw is that Jurors in Cook Co.
"sha receive only, for their services, ten cents
milo actual travel going and coming to court,
think the correct construction Of this provision ten
cents per mile for the distance from the Jurors resi-
dence the court and back by the route he actually
and intended to exclude "costretire travel, pre-
sumptire travel by any route longer thhn the route
actually taken and not to enlarge the meaning to
include al the distance Travelled in going Indefinite
hid been intended, think It would have been e1-
pressed. When the allowance ia thus made Of ton
cents per milo for tho distance both ways tie gener
osity Of the law. think is exhausted. In my tudg-
ment, the law, though well intended to effect one OBJ
ject-riddance from profesatone1 Jurors "-is un-
ent can be based upon any supposed fairness Of 1n
tent toward the Juror Justice toward tho Juror,
think wholly lost sight Of In tho enactment OF the

ply stated. He desired to say that as his eli
ents had no other mode Of proceeding, they
would DO compelled to renew the motion before
the Judge who held court next week (Chief Jus
tico Wil1iamB.)
The Court saw no impropriety in that. There
had been some conversation on the preceding
day relative to the Jurisdiction Of the Court
He supposed the leave to filo tho information
might be applied for to the Criminal, Circuit, or
Superior Court, because, whilo tho cr!m!nni
Court had jurisdiction in all Cases OF q criminal
and quasi-crimina1 nature, yet it was not oc-
clared to be exclusive jurisdiction, and, there
fore, all the seven Judges exercising common
law Jurisdiction might be succesaively applied
to tor leare to file the information, and, II any
ono OF them took different view from the
Court, Mr. Cloudy could get what he wanted.
Mr. Gondy simply etated, as matter OF conr-
tesy. TINT his clients should feel bound to mako
further application. He did not understand that
the matter was decided.
Tho Court did not think it was res adjudi
cata- As in an application for habeas corpus, II
ono Judge refused, another could be applied to.
He did not think any member Of the bar who
hEd regard for the interests OF his clients would
give them up because one Judge, with whom he
differed in opinion, had decided against them
Mr. Goudy thought not, when he had made
up his oHn mind, and the Judge whs the other
way.
