opposed to Chinese immigration will
he held April 1st, in the evening at
Union Hall. Committee appointed

ters Of relief pertinent thereto, believe
that every substantial interest of the

In the Board of Supervisors last eve-
ning the following resolutions were
introduced by MI Strother and was
adopted: olved, that it is the
sense of this boa rd that all officers of
the city and county should refrain

ployed by any such coolie. A resolu-

At the beginning of the present
month the police unearthed gang of
organized thieves ranging from 8 to
II years of age. The young scoundrels
had rendezvous under house on the
corner of Mason and Ellis streets, and
had captain, president and treasurer.
They kept record of all the houses
entered by them, and their books
showed that they had burglarized no
less than eighteen places. Six of the
young rascals were committed to the
Industrial School by the Police Judge
and in less than week afterwards
the Industrial School Committee re-
leased every one of them on probation.
1t was reported at the police office
this morning that John Goodwin,
captain of the gang, and Fred. Scrip,
lieutenant, had stolen $56 from the
widowed mother of the former, all the
money she had in the world, and de-
camped to parts unknown. The po-
lice are hunting for the young
villains.
The first and second mates, Pool and
Fitzgerald, of the ship Gold Hunter,

In the case of ex parte John Rick
elton on habeas corpus, argued before
the Supreme Court last Saturday and
submitted, this question is presented:
Whether party in an attachment
suit can be brought up for examina-
ton as to his property before judg-
ment has been obtained. 1t has here
tofore been the practice to make such
examination unchallenged under the
suppOsition that the law permitted
it. The point now made is that the
law does it. Rickleton refused to ap-
pear in Court and submit to an exam
ination, whereupon he was adjudged
guilty of contempt. A writ was then
issued, to obtain his release from GUS
tody.
George Green, laboring man, at
tempted suicide this morning by jump

out with considerable difficulty, taken
to the city prison, and charged with
being drunk. Whisky was the cause.
The testimony in the case of ]. B.
FELTON,, executor, vs.. l.. L. Robinson
ct al, was closed this afternoon, and

value of farms of the Phoebe estate in
which Robinson claimed to be inter-
ested, estimated their value at
$3.50, 900.
