THE LIVINGSTONE MURDER.

James Hunt, who was held in custody in Jersey
City by virtue Of the verdict OF the Coroners jury,
which charged him with being an accessory to the
murder OF W William Livingstone, was brought be-
fore Judge Bedle, in the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner yesterday. Counsel for the prisoner ap-
piled to have him admitted to ball. and
in lengthy argument cOntended that
no higher grade than mansaughter could
be established against the prisoner ac-
cording TO the evidence. Counsel argued that
the verdict OF the Coroner's jury was not war
ranted by the testimony az far as Hunt was con-
cerned. 1t looked roo much like subjecting man
to punishment because his companion, who was
the real criminal In the case could not be found.
The Court deliberated for some time and then an
nonnced that bail would be accepted to the amount
O $4,000. The security Was promptly furnished
by Hunts tather and Mr.. Jonathan Dixon. The
trial was set down for the third TUESDAY in Janu-
airy. Reilly Is stlll at large.
