The Wine Cnsc Again.

We gave narration in Tuesdays GLOBE
of the manner in which Mr.. Edward Osiei
came IN possession of the rhubarb wine
which was seized on the 4th of July, and
the efforts of Mr.. Poverty to ascertain il il
was an intoxicant before offering it fol
sale The seizure was made on complaint
of Ben. X Chase, Henry O. Edison and
Harry w. Nye, and signed by b. W.
Marshall as justice of the peace
On Monday James johnson the truck
man was arraigned before Justice Marshal
on the charge of conveying the barrel of
rhubarb wine from the freight depot to
Osier's store on Washington street. He was
examined IN reference to his knowledge of
the contents of the larrel. lie replied he
had no knowledge of its contents, and had
no reason to believe it to be Intoxicating
liquor, as it had no government stamp up
on it, and looked to him like an old cider
cask. lie said he asked Mr.. Poverty if he
should take it around to the back door, to
which Mr.. Poverty replied, "no, roll in at
the front door," On these statements
Justice Marshal discharged him
AT the close of the Courts decision IN the
johnson case, one of the citizens commit
tee, who was present, declared it to be Il
contemplate decision. The court immcd-
ately informed him that they were not
there to have their acts questioned or to
listen to any such language as it was not
the time or place That the court was
bound to look out for the rights of the citi-
zens and for the state. and its decisions
must not be questioned. That in this case
the decision was given according to the
testimony and in the way that the court
considered right. The member of the citi-
zens' committee then left the court room.
In the evening the same person APP
preached Mr. Marshall in his store and
requested him to 20 over TO an Office where
would be two other members of the com
and he was informed that it was for the
purpose of examining into his decision Of
morning. Mr.. Marshall, as any man would
do, informed him that he could not 90, rs
the decision was given, and, as he supposed
rightfully, and that there was no necessity
of bringing the matter up again. The
member then informed Mr.. Marshall that
if he had a boy two years old that could
not give better decision than that one was
he would spank him and put him to bed.
The member was then informed that it was
talk the way he did in the morning, and
then to come and use such language was
not manly in any person. lie also gave
him some advice which was proba-
bly, appropriate TO the occasion.
furthermore telling him that in all his deal
ings with rumselers in the past four years,
not one had ever 50 far forgotten himself
as to insult him III the court or on the
street, no matter how bad they might talk
about him behind his back, which he
thought differed very much from the way
in which he had been treated by the person
to whom he was addressing. The member
was furthermore informed by Marshal that
he had always decided cases in the manner
that he thought was right, and should con-
tnuc so to do as long as he held the po-
siton of justice Of the peace, and no per
son had any right to question them neither
would he be intimidated by any person or
persons. In this matter we think the JUS
tice was right, and sustain him in the po-
sition that he has taken.
