SAN FRANcIsco, April 19.-In the Police
Court this morning Prosecuting Attorney
Blaney asked for commitment for Denis
Kesrrey. Judge Rix ordered the remitti-
tur filed. and ordered the Clerk to make
out the commitment to the House OF Cor
rection. Kearney being called. failed to
respond, and Judge Rix asked Mr.. Murphy
II he wanted the appeal bond forfeited.
Mr.. Murphy replied that he understood the
defendant and his counsel were in the vi
cinity Of the Court, and would appear soon.
While the Clerk was engaged in making
ont the commitment Kearney with his
counsel entered the Court. To Mr.. Bar
bour Judge Rix said: lis the defendant
in Court, and prepared to pay the fine Of
81, 900, and deliver himself into custody"
Mr.. Barbour: 1.-THE defendant is in
Court, but we wish to move for an arrest
of judgment, in order to have time to go
to Los Angeles and secure q writ of habeas
corpus (; it will only take two days."
Judge Rix IL cannot grant your mo-
ton. Such proceedings would be unusual,
and I can see nothing in the case warrant
ing q departure from the rule"
Kearney had taken q seat in one Of the
front row Of chairs, and as he heard this
last hope Of delay destroyed, his jaw fell,
and he sullenly held his head down during
the rest Of the proceedings.
Mr.. Barbour then asked "The SEN
tence, I believe. is that the defendant shall
pay the fine, or go to the House Of Correc-
ton 2"
Judge Rix "No, sir +; the judgment is
that the defendant shall pay the fine and
be imprisoned"
Barbour "Well, We are not prepared
to pay the fine, and the defendant is here
to answer the process Of commitment. He
won't have to remain in custody until the
fine is paid, will he?"
Mr.. Murphy: "That is q good question
to leave for future settlement, Mr.. Bar
bour."
After the commitment was made ont the
Bailiff motioned Kearney to 60 below to
the city prison. Kearney rose and looking
around nervously said, with a CHASTITY at
tempt to smile "Your Honor, is the
constitutional provision about eight hours
day labor included in that?"
Judge Rix replied that he did not con-
slider that necessary. The officers Of the
House would see that he had enough and
not too much work.
Kearney then went below, his brother
accompanying him. Both were much de-
pressed. Soon after Kearney, accompanied
by the Superintendent OF the House OF Cor
rection and Officer Price, was taken to q
hack in waiting on Merchant street. A
large crowd OF sand-lotters were in waiting,
who made a rush for the hack, as Kearney,
in charge OF officers, entered it. The crowd
was driven back by the police officers, the
door closed, and Kearney at last was under
way for prison. The latest report is that
on arriving at the House Of Correction he
was handed over to the prison barber, after
which he was presented with . gorgeous
striped suit and locked up. Endeavors
will be made by the prisoners counsel to
obtain a writ Of habeas corpus, but it is
not likely to be of any avail.

be, 80 far as can be ascertained, whether or
not the Supervisors have the power to i'm
peach the Mayor.
