JCpGE wlLL1AMB OPINION or THE coufc1E.
1t uas probably natural that the action ot tue
Council in violating ths injunction should pro.
dues more effect upon Judge WlllamB than any
other pcrson. II was lis order which had boon
disregardsl, and he showed during the DAY that
ho mas excessively eoro in regard to tho matter.
In conversation with MIR. Cau!f1eid. JndGo Law
sonco and several other geutlemon, lso stated
with g1cat frankncBs that he nerer knew OF Aucl,
observation-disclosures against tho Bench or BuchQ
contempt Of all law. referring to himself, per-
aonaly, he expressed tbs opiu!on that ths action
of tho Aldermen aud some OF tho press Was due
to recent judicial decisions male by him, osrc-
c,a,ly ths ono iu tho Storey contompt caso. In
this inatance lie satd he did not tAko singloatep
from personal feelings, but Hns governed simply
by tho psecedents aud his idea Of what was right.
lIc did not believe any good lawyer In the CITY
who lad carefully examined ls reasons for his
decision III ths Storey case could show law IN
tho reasoning on which the santenco for con.
tempt was Daped.
Fur tho last atx montbB he had bcen doing all
the saycrs work Of lighting tho gamblers, and
had also boon compelled to ta1o tho action which
lie had IN regard to the various indictments
growing out OF thu cnurse OF tho Times aud
to those matters any trace Of partis1ity.
Then rese,ting to tbs violation Of tic injunc-
ton, Ito WAS unable to coo what We Nero consuG
to, aud he could porcciys 20 limit to tne confu-
sion which might arise II tho ordcr4 OF courts
were thus to ba violated with impunity. In this
opinion naauy OF the otLer Judges naturally CO.
iileided, deemiug it to 10 about ~ bad preco-
