himself obnoxious to Justice Hayden and
Marshal HAYES. He was finally arrested

who finding him too abusive to tolerate or
dered him to Jail, whittier he was taken by

Justice Chopper to keep him there over
night, but Deputy Munger, who has no
right in law to release any prisoner. let
him out and went with him to Cropper' g
house, where he begged and wanted to
give security for foe assessed of $25 and
costs. This the magistrate refused to &C
cept and he forked over the money. This
is the second or third time that prisoners
have been released from Jail by the turn

nor any one else has any right to release a
