DIsoRDERLY BASE BALLIsTs.-Yesterday the
officers Of the Sth precinct attempted TO arrest
Benjamin Marshall and others, colored base
bailtsts, who were behaving In a disorderly
manner, and before they succeeded In getting
them several parties attempted to prevent the
arrest, and Officer Edelin, calling for assistance,
several others responded, and they succeeded
In arresting BENJAMIN Marshall, Martin f.
jackson, and F. Meredith, who this morning
were fined IS each. Martha Payne, it is charged
melted the crowd and detied the officers to take
them, and they put her under arrest: when, 1t is
charged, Francis Payne and Lewis Payne tried
to get her away from the officers. There was
considerable testimony taken-some OF it to the
effect that Officer Edelin, was In pursuit OF the
base ballists, and arrested party who the
crowd said was not there, and who was released
when OFFICER Berkely said he was not of the
party. In the mean time, however, some OF the
party had called Edelin, back, and he went back
and arrested Martha Payne, the mother OF the
prisoners. For the defence several citizens tes-
titled that the defendants were orderly, and
that there was no offence committed by them
Mr.. Pelham appeared for the men, and Mr.. E. C.
Darlington, ST., for Mrs Payne, and the latter
argued at some length that all the disorder
about this case was created by Edelin,. The
court imposed fine OF $40 on Mrs. p, and S. on
the boys. An appeal was noted.
