ing in Long Island City yesterday. Officers Hamer,
Wilkinson, Hurley and Smith appeared from Ja-
maca in the forenoon, armed with warrants issued
by Justice Belts, of that town. upon the complaint.

tons contained in these warrants one man was ar.
rested in Harry" HIPS place, two in William
L1yelPs, and two IN Kelly & BlIss's. The business
was permitted to proceed The arrested men were
not taken TO Jamaica until late in the afternoon and
it was understood that when arraigned they would
ask for postpOnement of the examination for
week, giving bail for their appearance. This was
the course TAX H. Ii appears that there Is cues
ton as TO iurisdlctiOn and this IN the meantime,
Is TO be submit ed for the decision of judicial au-
thority Ii Is claimed that while Justice of the
Peace of another town may have authority TO issue
a warrant OF arrest for person in Long Island CITY.
the prisoner cannot be taken outside the cltys Ju-
rsdicuUn, but must be gned before the nearest
magistrate for examination and IS is further con-
tended that 10 constable has a right to make
sn arrest within the city limits 1t is understood
that this is t. be test case to settle the question
of jurisdiction.
