they had stolen from Virginia, across the river,
and when he asked the clerk Of the Police
Court for the proper papers to commit them TO
Jail for the Virginia authorities, that official
told him that there was no larceny In tho case,
as grapes We're not property, and warned him
not to make any more such arrests, or he would
get into trouble
The communication was referred to Major
Richards for investigation.

him. Messrs Garnett, Miller, Randall and
Wilbur brought II to him and demanded the
return Of the papers. He supposed that this
was the close Of the case and delivered the
papers to Wilbur, taking his receipt for them.
Jasper w. johnson was returned as the claim
ant Of the property. The rule and practice Of
the property clerks office was that when
person was discharged or dismissed the prop
erty taken from them was returned to them.
The Court was not inclined TO change his
ruling, and the defense waived further exani-
Prosecuting oflcer Miller asked that bonds
for the grand jury be fixed at $4,000, as the
property was valuable and perishable. He was
willing that if the defendant would deposit
the papers in the Treasury or State Depart
mcnt to have tho bonds fixed at a lower figure.
The Court fixed the bonds at 5000.
Col. Jack Brown, counsel for Jasper w. John
son, then arose and said that the papers had
been placed In the custody Of the court and
his client wanted them, and It was the duty Of
the Court to produce them. In speaking Of
the manner In which the papers were obtained
a species OF sharp practice on the part 'of Will
bur and his counsel which would not be tole.

considered II the duty Of the Court to issue
rule nisi, and make them show why they
should not be punished for contempt
Mr.. Garnctt answered quite sharply, re-
marking that when q gentleman says that
another was guilty of sharp practice he used
language which he might expect to hear from.
Judge Mills said that the question Of con-
tempt had engaged his mind, aud he had con.
cludcd that this Court had no Jurisdiction. If
the parties were in contempt 1t was for the
superior court. which had refused to issue an
order for the return Of the papers. He did not
intend to issue any process for the property
clerk. He thought that no moro faithful Off
Ger than Mr.. Hcrrick ever served the police
department or the Government. There was
no doubt that he had been mislcd into giving
up the papers and placing himself In very
embarrassing position. The Court proposed to
reflect upon Mr.. Browns motion, and give his
decision to-day.
