UABEAS CORPUS.


Jesse Nyc, committed by Alderman
Barr, for drunken and disorderly conduct
in interfering with the Republican parade
on the 18th inst, and in whose behalf Il
writ of habeds corpus, was taken out Oh
the Tuesday following, and the case con-
tinued until to-day owing to the absence
of Judge Patterson, was this afternoon
again brought from Jail and taken before
Judge Patterson for hearing.
Il. B. Holahan, ESQ.,, counsel for the
prosecutor, asked that the case be con-
tinued on account of the absence of the
prosecutor and witnesses, who had not
been notified of the time set for the hear
ing.
B.F.Davis, Nye's counsel, resistcda COLI
tinIance the prosecutors counsel and
the defendant had been in Jail eight days,
and the case having been already once
continued, he was entitled to hearing
now.
Alderman Barr stated that George F.
Miller was the complainant that he was
not present at the hearing before him, nor
at the first hearing on haheas corpus, and
that he had no notice SO far us he knew of
the present hearing.
Judge Patterson suggested that the
case would have to be continued until the
prosecutor was given notice, and intimatcd
that such notice should have been given
by defendants counsel.
B.F Davis, esq, and Geo. Naumar,
esq, declared such proceeding to be at
variance with the practice Of the court. Z.
X. Martin, esq, counsel for the prosecu-
tor, was present at the time the case was
first continued and was notified that the
hearing would be to-day. Mr.. Hclohan
appears to-day rs his substitute. When
counsel has been duly notified that is all
the notice that is necessary, and it is coun-
sells place to have the prosecutor here if
he wants him, and to go on with the case
whether he be here or not. Besides, thcr c
is witness now present who will swear
that Miller was notified of the hearing to-
dag.
Judge Patterson said he would continue
the case until Monday morning at 9o'clock
sharp, because the prosecute: had not been
duly notified of the hearing.
Mr.. Nauman insisted that il the case
was continued the court should decide that
in all similar cases n notice given to cOun-
sci should not be deemed sufficient unless
notice is also given to the prosecutor in
person. The practice of the court has here
toforc been different and if the rule is to
be changed he wanted to know it.
The court remandcd the prisoner to Jail
and ordered Mr.. Holahau to give notice
to George F. Miller to be present Monday
morning at o'clock.
