Committed to jail.

The instances are rare In this District where
the court has imprisoned for contempt, but, II
the number Of ofprecedents are few, Justice Olin
seems determined that the mandates Of the
Probate Court shall be properly observed and
the widows and orphans protected in their
rights and property, so far as the law grants
him the power te protect them. He has just
made an example that will be likely to prove
beneficial warning to those guardians and
administrators disposed to manage wards and
estates in accordance with their own ideas and
not in pursuance with instructions laid down
by the court. Some ten years ago Mr.. Rich
ard II. March was designated as guardian to
the two minor sons of William II. Tanning,
deceased, and qualified by giving bond in the
sum of $500, which at that time was believed
to be adequate security. Some time after
coming into control of the wards property
he obtained, through the Equity Court, an
order to sell certain ofthe wards real estate,
from which he realized about 5000.
In the progress Of time one of the boys
died, and the other became of age
in the year 1876. At that time he
was ordered by the Probate Court
to render au account of his stewardship.
which was done and reference OF 1t made to

Several efforts were made TO collect the money.
but were met only by trivial excuses aud
vcxatous delays. Finally, in June last, the
dilelict guardian was ordered to give au adj.
diiional bond. Matters did not progress any
faster, and on the 10th of September Mr..
Marsh received 4 peremptOry order to pay the
money into the registry Of the court. Meth T
of the two last orders were obeyed, and on
Wednesday last the marshal was directed to
attach him for contempt. lie took him into
custody and the case came up before Judge
Olin for a hearing last Saturday, Mr.. W. II.

A Suspicious Transaction.

On Friday last a farmer named Burns was
driving q number of cattle to this city, when
one of them dropped dead on the road. Soon
afterward a butcher came along and told the
farmer IL he would take the dead animal to
the place where h, (the butcher killed his
cattle he would give him all the money that
was derived from the sale Of the tallow and
hide. Such being the bargain, the farmer
took the dead animal to the butchers
slaughter-house and there left it. In due time
the police Of the Second Precinct got wind of
the transaction and started on the trail. The
butcher. becoming aware that the police
were watching him, only blei the
COW, and left tho carcass lying In the
slaughter.hOuse. Next morning lie undertook
to bury il In his yard, but was prevented by
