dered decision this morning in the case
of application for writ of habeas corpus
for woman committed to the bridewell

atrocious to the last degree, in that it
denies to a person the right of jury trial
guaranteed by our state constitution. He
said that the act was made during an un.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5,-The directors of the
German national bank decided after bu-
siness hours this evening to go into liqui-
dation, and accordingly issued card to
depositors stating that in the ordinary
course of business the bank had on July
/, 1877, $l,157 900. Since that time their
customers bad, for various reasons, re-
dnced the amount to $1S2.000, which is
the total liability to depositors. They say
they consider this good work. but they
cannot without forhearance continue. The
bank has, they claim, abundant assets to
pay every dollar to depositors. and have a
handsome surplus. if little time is given
to convert the assets. They therefore re-
quest depositors to forbear drafts for q
short time, thus avoiding unnecessary de-
lay and expense Of receiver. The pres
ident Of this bank is Henry Greenbaum,
and the cashier is Herman Schaefner.
The savings bank connected with the in
stitution is presumably not affected by the
failure of the national bank No state
ment can be obtained until very late.
