THE CANCAN.

At the opening Of the Court OF General Sessions
yesterday, Assistant District Attorney Rollins
arragned at the bar Samuel Shapter the pro-
pretor OF the Metropolitan Theatre, upon o new
indictment, charging him VITA keeping dis.
orderly house, the specific allegation being that
he caused an immoral exhibition called the can
can to be performed at his theatre. Early in
the present term the Grand Jury found
a similar indictment against the defendant, upon
which he gave ball but it seems he continued to
permit this performance TO be carried on at
his establishment pending the trial OF the ac-
cusation. The authorities caused an additional
indictment TO be found, npon which Shag ter and
twelve OF his lair damsels' were arraigned yes.
terday morning.
Mr.. w. +. Howe, counsel for the defendants,
moved that the matter OF pleading be postponed
until Mr.. Courtney, his associate counsel. could oe
present. 1T said that the accused mad no desire
TO Violate the law, and that no one would sooner
OBJECT TO an immoral performance than he tine
c0unse). In this view he had suggested to his
client TO give up the cancan performance. as 1t
appeared from the present indictment that the
moral sense OF the community was against Its con-
tinuance. Mr.. Howe then assured the Court that
the performance would not be repeated.
Assistant District Attorney Rollins said that

with being one OF gang OF brigands who, IN 1867,
near Naples, captured young man, son OF a far
mer, carried him of to the woods and there shot

Italy by the Italian authorities ned to this coun.
try and was arrested in this city three or iour
months ago under warrant issued by Commits

as the alleged crime was committed in 1867. and
the treaty OF extraditi0n between Italy and the
United States did not come into existence until
the following year. 1868, there was no power in
the Court TO order the eXtraditlOn OF the accused
The matter was then taken before Judge Blatch-
ford on habeas corpus and fully argued by coun-
sci, MIR. Coudert appearing for the Italian govern
mcnt and Mr.. +. G. Bowen Tor the prisoner. judge
Blatchford now decides that the alleged offence
does come within the treaty IN question, and that

come to the conclusion that the wrlts must be
discharged and the prisoner remitted to the GUS

THE CITY MARSHALS CONTROVERSY.

On the 9th of November last the General Term
of the Marine Court adopted rule prohibiting
the city marshals from executing executions and
certain otner processes issuing out of the Marine
Court.
The marshals, feeling aggreved at this mas
much as 1t deprived them OF business esti-
mated as worth rom $4,000 to $4,000 per annum,
resolved to test the legality OF the rule before the
supreme Court.
Accordingly, under ahe advice OF their counsel,
it was agreed that one of them tLevy Lppman)
proceed to levy under an execution in violation OF
the rule. Thereupon the Marshal was cited to ap-
pear and answer for contempt of the Marine
Court ana was fined $780, and to stand committed
to the county Jail until paid. A writ OF
habeas corpus and certiorari sued out in
behalf Of the Marshal, and IN pursuance thereof
he was brought before Chief Justice Davis. at
Chambers OF the Supreme Court, on the 10th inst.
Ex-Judge Cardozo, Matthew =. Breen and M. A.
Gearon appeared as counsel for the Marshal, and
demanded the discharge OF the prisoner, upon
the ground OF the ,llegality OF the rule, while
Brown. Hall vanderpoel, In the interest OF the
Sheriff, resisted the motion. Judge Davis yester-
day rendered the following lengthy and impor-
tant opinion in favor OF the Marshall
The petitioner is enjoined by an order OF the
Special Term OF the Marine Court for contempt.

OF the rules OF that Court. on the 9tn Of November
last the General Term OF the Marine Court adopted
the following rule-.Orders Of arrest In all cases

ldents 0i the county issuing out o. this Court may

question presented In this case IS whether that
part of the rule which requires all executions TO be
directed to and executed by the Sheriff is valid.
The Marine Court may undoubtedly make such
rules as II may deem advisable to regulate the
practice Of that Court provided such rules are not
