WRIT DE LUNATICO.
Petition of a wsll-Known Justics.


Not far from the City Hall, in q building de-
voted exclusively to the Offices of limbs of the law,
a awelI-known justice OF the peace holds court. He
is as fond Of good joke as he is Of glass of beer
and seldom let's an opportunity Of leaving either
pass by. Among the tenants Of the building are
several young lawyers who once in q while make
a fee, and as often spend It. Thinking to have
Joke on them, the squire, few days ago, pre-
pared to be submitted to the court q petition,
which fully explains itself, and is as follows:
THE PETITION.
Tothe Judges If the Supreme Court Of the District
u Columbia, holding an Equity Term, this I'D
T1e petitiSn Of respectfully shoWeth:
1st. That your petitioner is citizen Of the Dis
trct aforesaid, doing business as an attorney and
2 That on divers and sundry occasions within
the last month, but too numerous TO particulariZe
by reason Of their almost daily occurrence yourpe
tftioner, about the hour of p. m, has been ha-
raised and disturbed in his evening relaxations-
relaxRtions so necessary to his physical and men,
him from the multitudinous aTocations of his
business life, by the unseemly boisterOus, loQua-
cious and incoherent conversations Of the follow
bar Of your honorable court, but whom your peti-
tioner verify believes to be secret, and at times,
open practitioners before bars not proper to be
mentioned in the hearing ofyour honorable selves.
g. That he believes, and is willing to prove, that
the liQuer distilled from corn, wheat and other
grains and known by the names Of whisky, hog
Iuice or Jig water, is the main and only cause OF
this demented conduct on the part of-(six names
are appended.)
i. And your petitioner therefore prays that q
writ "de iunRtco," &c, issue against the parties
aforesaid and for such other and further relief
as the nature Of his case may require, and your
petitioner will ever pray.
The young men got hold Of 1t before It was for
warded to court, and that, of course, stopped IL,
but they made reply in various ways; one by ap-
pointing the squire inspector Of jig water 70 the
court; another was in the shape Of sketches of the
accused while under the influence Of jig water,
and still another had q response In poetry, of
which the following is an example:
THE lunatic put in his bill, but he found
That his knowledge of Law was but dIIn,
That while for the charge the judge saw NO
ground,
He saw the big crazy in him.
The result was compromise, all hands treated,
and there the matter rests.

THE FIRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH.

Failure Of an Attempt to Interfere With It.
From the time at which it was known that a
new hre-alarm telegraph would be required here
there has been no lack Of persons who were will
ing TO contract for the work. If money enough
was paid them for 1t. After the contract had
heen awarded there srIII sumo uissutIsracrIon,
and John Esputa, John Thomas Young and Chas.
Stewart filed bill on the 18th of July last
against the District Commissioners torestrain the
construction Of the telegraph.
The case was heard yesterday, in the Equity
Court, before Mr.. Justice Wylie.
Gen. Sol. S. Henkle appeared for the complain
ants and Z. L. Stanton for the District.
Judge Wylie then rendered his decision, the
main points Of which are: That the acts OF Uon-
gress creating the Commission give them full
poWerto expend money raised by taxation for the
support Of schools, police and IRE departments,
SC, and the fire telegraph is generally recog-
niZed as indispensable to the proper working OF
the fire department, and the Commissioners have
the same authority to extend and improve It as
they have TO purchase horses or steam engines
for the department. He also declared that the
court held large discretionary power in q case Of
this Rind-that nc Injunction should issue unless
some serious and Irreparable injury was likely to
follow its refusal; that in this case the total
amount Of tax which could be imposed upon the
petitioners, If the amount to be paid for the new
telegraph was divided among the property-own-
ers Of the District would be S416; that the petit
TONERS were not entitled TO Injunction, for the
reason that they, or other parties represented by
them, were disappointed bidders, and had shown
no disposition to question the action or authority
Of the Commissioners until the contract had been
that no reason existed for any interference with
the contract made by the District Commissioners
and ordered that the bill of Esputa and others be
dismissed. An appeal was entered.
