AT the Police Court yesterday morning Socrates Tut
.le who has long been legal adviser OF the elder
Dalzell, made an application 10 Judge DlAon
for the release on Of Robert Daze the son. VINO Is
now in Paterson Jail, and asked to be heard upon It,
The young man, he said, held merely as Witness
and substantial bail would be forthcoming If the app
cation should be granted DistrctAttorney Woodrun
opposed the application and said 1t might be that me
prisoner might something more than Witness as ne
had authority for stating that began the fighting by
striking the first blow The Judge refused the appca-
ton on technical grounds The man, he said had been
committed Informally, and not under the authority OF
that Cour therefore the proper course was to apply
for writ of habeas corpus.
A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Action is also beng taken by Justice OF the Peace,
and It seems not unlikely that there may be conflict
Of authority regard TO the case. An eyewitness who
was seen by reporter yesterday produced
subpoena from Justice Peregrine saudford which had
been served upon him by Police Officer Post. In obedi
ence to this he went to Mr.. sandfords
private residence, and there made an affidavit in
regard to the afray, and was bound to
appear for the State when called under penalty

First Police Precinct Station house at Newark Chief
