review the conviction was then sued out
of the Supreme Court, before which the
case was argued by able counsel, among
whom was Alexander K. Mcclure, Of
the Philadelphia Times, in behalf of the
appellants.
The Court has now unanimously re-
versed the summary conviction for con-
tempt, and has ordered that the editors
of the Lancaster hatelligencer be restored
to the bar. If their publication con-
corning the Judges of the Court of
Quarter Sessions was libelous, they can
only be punished therefore in an action
triable before a jury; and they have
proclaimed thei: ability to establish the
truth of the charges which they made
whenever required to do so in such q
proceeding. But an attorney can not
be summarily disbarred for publishing
with good motives and for justifable
ends that which he believes to be true
about the Judiciary.
Indeed, Chief Justice Sharswood, who
delivers the opinion of the Court, goes
much further than this, and holds that,
under our elective system, attorneys are
bound to make public any acts which
they believe to constitute judicial mis-
conduct. He says:
cit is now the right and duty of a
lawyer to bring to the notice of the pub
lie, who elect the Judges, every instance
of what he believes to be corruption or
partisanship. No class of the commun-
ity ought to be allowed freer scope in
the expression or publication of opinion
as to the capacity, impartiality, or in
tegrity of Judges than members of the
bar. They have the best opportunities
of observing and forming correct judg-
ment. They are in constant attendance
on the courts. Hundreds of those who
are called on to vote never enter court
room, or if they do it is only at intervals
as jurors, witnesses, or parties. To say
that an attorney can only act or speak
on this subject under liability to be called
to account, and to be deprived of his
profession and livelihood by the very
Judge or Judges whom he may consider
it his duty to attack and expose, is po-
sition too mOnstrous to be entertained
for moment under our present sys-
tenn

AN English physician stationed in
Formosa says: "The Chinese make, on
the whole, very good patients. Occa-
sionally some of them try our patience
not a little. One takes a four days. sup
ply of medicine away with him, the re-
cipe bearing on it, "a spoonful three
times daily after each meal He comes
back next morning for more, thinking
to fiatter you by stating that he drank
the former quantity at one dose. An
other has his arm carefully put up in
splints, and on his next visit he brings
his dressings in separate parcel. They
are great believers in internal adminis-

Mrs. Kate Wright was arrested
yesterday for larceny and lodged in
the stationhouse. Some years ago she
had a son, Ben Wright, who was con-
victedo of DEMONSTRATING and sentenced
to a long term in the p~enitentiary.
The sentence drove his mother to the
verge Of insanity, and her life became
a wreck. Her little household was
broken up and her few possessions
scattered to the four winds. She was
left penniless, but refused to accept
charity from the same public that
robbed her Of her son. During the
last few years she has been often un-
der tho influence Of liquor and has
served moro than one term in the
stationhouse, where she was always
given the lightest work. When sober
she walks along quietly, looking
neither to the right or to the left, but
when drinking rants in the widest
way about Ben, aud calls on those she
meets to Look upon me, the motler
of Ben Wright" On the two last
occasions when arrested she was OK.

ofthe line she stood. Her manners at

the most refined lady, and at all times
this manner is adhered to no matter
how deeply intoxicated che is or how

Her last offence was for stealing
some clothing from another woman.
She asked a continuance to-day for
the purpose Of procuring a lawyer aud
witnesses, which was granted.
