attorney asked commitment for Kearney
The latter was not present at the time,
but in few minutes appeared with his
counsel, who asked delay to make APP
plication 10 the supreme court for a writ
of habeas corpus. The court denied the
request as usual, and the commitment
made out. and Kearney, evidently greatly
depressed and chagrined, was taken be
low, and in \ few moments was removed
to the hack and driven to the house of
correction, where, after going through
the hands of the barber, and donning the
conyict's garb, he was placed in cell.
As he left the court room he asked the
judge if the commitment contained any
reference to the provision ofthe new con-
stitution. fixing eight hours as days |
labor The judge replied that the super |
intendent of the house of correction |
would see that he had sufficient work to |
do, and not too much. The counsel will |
apply for a writ of habeas corpus, but it |
is not expected to avail the prisoner any |
thing.
