Eben Dow was brought before Judge Sy-
monds yesterday upon writ of habeas cor
pus in suit against l. D. Sawyer, ct al. alleg-
ing false imprisonment in the county jail.
From the evidence it appeared that on the
evening of April 10, Constables Barbour and
Stephen d. Hall visited the dwelling house of
Dow on Green street that the former had an ex-
ecution in favor of. L. Blethen, and the latter
had an execution in favor of another party,
both against Dow. The door being unfasten-
ed Barbour walked into BOWS sitting room
whereupon Dow left the room as Barbour
claimed after being arrested, but as Dow claim
ed before Barbour could arrest him, and passed
into private room, whore he was concealed
from Barbour, W hosupposing Dow had left the
house, went out into the back yard
By this time both outside doors were locked.
Hall then went to the front door and demand
ed entrance, when Dow's wife told him If he
had q criminal process he could enter, other
wise not Without answering her question he
broke open the front door staving off its hing
es, went in, arrested Dow and committed him
to Jail, where he has been confined until to-day.
Barbour returned his execution to the jailer
the next morning with return of arrest on
the same.
Judge Symonds after hearing the evidence
offered by both parties, decided that both arrests
were clearly illegal and discharged Dow to go
without day
Hon. J. j. Perry appeared for Dow and
Clarence Hale, Esq, for respondent.
