LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

S. Brown, and District Attorney Buckley.
The defense claimed that, as he had once
been arrested and discharged on writ of
habeas corpus, he should not have been re-
arrested; that the warrant was defective and
the complaint insufficient. Judge Clark,
however, refused to release Kim, and instruct
ed the officers to take him to Justice Haines
for examination. That magistrate. like
Justice Gilmer, asserted that jurisdiction
could not be conferred, and refused to hear
the case. Each Justice admitted that were
he to hear the case the defendant would be
discharged. Judge Henry, of the Police
Court, having once heard the evidence,
expressed a decided opinion, which
he still entertains. He does not,
therefore, desire to again act, and
the defense strongly object to such
course. The prosecution ON the other hand,
does not desire to have hearing before a
Justice who for the occasion might be APP
pointed Police Judge, because the amgis-
trates have expressed the opinion that Dowd
cannot be held. The only way out of the
difficulty now seems to be to continue the
case until the Legislature passes a bill en-
abling the District Attorney to present bill
of indictment to the Superior Court. The
bill has passed the Senate, been slightly
amended by the Assembly, and has been
sent to the Senate, and on its concurrence
it is understood 1t will be promptly
signed by the Governor and become a
law. The case will thus come to trial in the
Superior Court and be disposed of much
sooner than it could be by waiting for the ac
lions of Grand Jury. The District Attor-
ney yesterday consented to a reduction of
the bail to $780, which Dowd gave and was
released. This was done because of his ina
bility to furnish larger amount, and because
he has already been confined several weeks
on account of the laws delay. The officers
have an abiding faith in his affection for the
city where he enjoys such notoriety and where
luck seems to run in his favor ; yet they con-
fdently assert that he will yet be convicted
and placed where he can engage in no bunko
games and sharp practices.
