TRIBULATIoNs OF AN OFFICER.-In De-
robbed of property and money to the value of
$40. January 2, 1880, a warrant was issued
by Justice Gilmer for the arrest of the sup
posed thieves. Deputy Constable Sanders
took the warrant to San Francisco, and he
and San Francisco officer arrested upon it
Yung All San and All Fung Chi IA woman).
The warrant bore the certificate of the
! County Clerk as to Justice Gilmer being a
Justice of the Peace, but it had no SEAL as
the County Clerk then had no seal under the
new Constitution and could not have until
the Superior Court adopted one. The Chief
| of Police at San Francisco deemed the war
rant, as certified, faulty, and agreed to hold
| the prisoners until it could be amended.
! Sanders returned to Sacramento, and
| the Clerk procured the seal of the Board
of Supervisors and affixed its stamp to the
! certificate, and Deputy Constable, W. b.
Ferral, took charge of the case and went be-
low and got the prison ers, ibut was met by
writ of habeas corpus and had to answer be-
| fore Superior Judge Evans. NJ. S. Koran,
by his procurement, appeared for the people,
while Davis Louderback appeared for the
petitioner for the writ. The hearing came on
on Tuesday and the writ was dismissed. Fer
raj hurried his prisoners away and crossed the
bay with them to get out Of the San Francis
co jurisdiction, intending to wait in Alameda
county for the up train, but new deputy of
the new Sheriff of San Francisco, followed,
and overhauling him on the end of the Oak
| lank wharf served a writ on him to bring the
woman before Superior Judge Cary, on the
| 18th by order of the Supreme Court. he took
! advice, and concluded to come to Sacramento
with his prisoners and return to San Francisco
with the woman in time to answer to the writ,
which he did. The case was heard land Judge
! Cary, like Judge Evans, decided to dismiss
! the writ, but was asked to withhold his de-
cision short time, which he did, and mean
while third writ was sworn out, and this
time made returnable before the Supreme
Bench itself To that body, on the 9th, went
the officer and, after the case was heard and
an application made to the Court to admit
the prisoner to bail, the Supreme Court, a
full bench sitting, denied the application, and
held that the fixing of bail must be had in
the county from which the warrant issued
And thus, after overcoming three writs of
habeas corpus and having the first case
brought before the new Supreme Court, and
securing its first ruling, the officer got clear
of San Francisco, finally delivered his pris
oner in Sacramento, and made his return to
Justice Gilmer. Both prisoners have since
given bail, and the hearing of the case has
been postponed few days.
