The BUELL-CHANDLRR SLANDER-BueU Pc
ftit0ns Tie Circuit COurt.-This morning Angus
us Z; Buell.; by his attorneys. Messrs. Birnsy
aud Blair, filed in the Circuit Court a petition
Tor writ OF certOrarie to Judge Smell, of ths
Police CouTt, commanding him to send up the
record and papers in the case of the petitioner,
who is charged with criminal libel. The petit
toner sets forth that on the ID inst, one Zach
ariah Chandler made an affidavit before Luther
); DsSson, clerk of the Police Court, charging
him with criminal libel; that a warrant was
issued tor his arrest on the same day; he was
arrested thereon at about IL o'clock %. m on the
Following day. that on the Tth he appeared and
gave bail in $1,000 for his appearance. The De-
titoher further represents that W. b. Smell is
nor duly commissioned judge under the con-
s,ltutlon OF the United States; that said Police
Court Is not legally constituted for the trial OF
offences by Jury, and the law of January 17th
1870, does not vest that court with the right Of
trial by jury. Judge Cartier said that he would
be very slow to decide that the act creating the
Police Court lie unconstitutional and turn all
the thieves and rOgues loose on the community
put ne would look into this case, and probably
hear 1t on Monday.
