Me1rym This occurrence took place in the
Office OF Squire Moss, on Capitol Hill. Merry
man was acting as attorney for some person,
VINO was plaintiff to a case pending, when de-
PENDANT came in and told Merryman that he
was no lawyer, and disturbance followed,
during which defendant was elected. and Mer-
ry1nan got hit in the face. The counsel for de-
PENDANT took the ground that Moss being a mag
iStrate appointed for Uniontown had no more
light 10 hold court on Capitol Hill than any
other citizen, and that II was in fact no court
at al The Judge thought so too, but said it
was the business or the counsel employed on
that occasion to expose such irregularities as
this, and bring the facts to the attention of the
Supreme Court OF this District, and have them
broke. but this did not excuse the defendant in
his interference there. and he fined him SO and
costs. stephen Powell, grand larceny OF Sl65
