INTERESTING CASE The case Of the Com
monwealth VS.. James Hepburn, charged with
assault and battery, which has occupied the
Corporation Court since yesterday, is one OF
much interest 10 view of the recent police
orders. Hepburn, who Is policeman, arrest
ed a young Il lticnan of this city while coming
out ut the market house building with some
friends, on charge of drunkenness Wlthou;
warrant The arrested party was fined by tie
Mavor. but afterwards filed an Information
against Officer Hepburn, tor assault and bat
tery, and says that he was not drunk. This Is
the case now on trial. j. NJ. Johnston, Com
% ,rwraIth's Attorney, appeared tor the llalD-
tiff and &. Il. Stuart Tor Hepburn. OHlccr ti.p
burn and Officer Nightingale testified that
the arrested party was drunk,, whlc
those wan were with him, were equally posi-
tive that nc WAS not 50. LII Was also
devclope,i 10 tic course of the ;ra, that the
Mayor gave the policemen lee OF hity cents
for each drunken man arrested, and II was
Claimed by tic Commonwealth that this zee
was n inctemeut to arrest innocent m2n, ana
was Unlawful under the provisions OF the city
c de- This view Was cnmbattcu ~ the DE-
fence. The only ius'rucloI gwen by tn"
iulyr was. that If the juGy believed The con-
naiuaut TO have been Ill Vi k, then the 1tt-
Ger had right to arrest him 90 sight,
ard without warrant, au', t"ey must hud
for the defendant, but il they found HIM
not to have been dru9k, then they must
find for the paiut'ti. An instruction al
mit,ing the couvic' N in the Mayors Court
as evidence OF Drunkenness was refused;
The jury rvtircA TO their room, and
after about Two hours returned into court
for instructions as 20 what cols !uicd drunk

A Sewing Machine Case.
A WARNING TO WOMEN, ALSO TO MAcH1xl

N
in the Police Court yesterday Orlando
Evans colOred, and Augustus Kappers and
J. u. Safeld, white men, were stood up on
the charge assault and battery on James F.
hogan, who resides at 4l2 A street south
east This charge grew out of a dispute
s s. tne possession OF q sewing machine
know as the Remington. The facts as de-
veloped in the testimony were that the
agent for this machine employs canvassers
Tor their sale, and one OF these induced Mrs.
Hogan, wife Of complainant, to purchase one
Tor Si5, payments TO be made iu So install
ments per month. After the delivery of the
machine about a year ago the agent called
the latter and procured the signature OF Mrs.
h. 10 printed form of contract concerning
the payments, &c, one OF the conditions of
which was that in case of failure on her part
TO make the payments regularly, the agent
could enter the premises of complainant at
mis- will and take the machine away. This
ledge or consent of Mr.. Hogan, and
IL is more than probable that Mrs.
ii. herself did rot fully understand the case.
soon after this, along came a young man
representing that he had been sent by the
agent to give Instructions TO Mrs. III. in the
art OF working the machine, as per contract.
one day this nice young man, in the dis
charge of the trust, attempted improper lib
critics with his pupil, as testified to, aud she
oeing hignIy indignant raised tumult and
weCt for his scalp, which caused the gay and
festive man TO leave suddenly. Months then
passed by, during which no one called for
payments. On the 26th ult. the defendants
went 10 Mrs. HOgau's house aud demanded
the machine, which was denied them They
entered the house to take fOrcible possession
and scrlmmage ensued, ending in "a un-
ceremoniOus ejectment of the defendants,
and to ensure future peace Mr.. II. started
for policeman. During his absence the
parties returned to the house aud broke in
window and were endeavOring to get the
machine through it when Mr.. II returned
and hOStilitieS were resumed during which
coats were pulle off and blows passed. Find
ing they could do no better, defendants broke
the top part from the stand and escaped,
leaving the running gear behind. For de-
tense, the contract was put in evidence. but
the Judge ruled It out, remarking that ii had
