THE COURTS.
THE RIGHTS OF POLICE JUSTICES.

Mary Mcmahon was sentenced recently by q
police magistrate to give bonds $500 fogood conduct
or to 20 to prison for month The charge against
her was disorderly conduct writ OF habeas corpus
was obtained I'm her favor and she was taken yesterday
before Justice Lawrence in the supreme Court, Cham
bers. The writ was secured for the purpose
OF obtaining judicial construction OF Section 80 OF the
Code OF Criminal Procedure by which 1t Is supposed
that the power Of police magistrate to iinpson for
disorderly conduct alone had been taken away The
counsel Tor the prisoner argued that under Section 80
disordery conduct The provision OF the section related
only to persons who threatened TO do injury to the
person or property OF another On the part of the police
magistrate IL contended that Section 901 OF the
Code covered the case of disorder conduct.
Justice Lawrence SAID that Section 90l provided for
the giving OF recognzance only in specified case
namely that Of parent to be gves for the support of
child The counsel for the magistrates then fell back on
section 81, relating the Court Of General Sessions,
and also provision in the Revised Statutes Justice
Lawrence could not see that the counsel had strength
eneo MS position He asked II the counsel had been able
TO hnd any reference to disOrdery conduct in the
Coue' Inc answer in the negative. Assistant DIS
lrcAforney vincent argued that II was the intention
OF the Legislature to police magistrates all
their former powers winch had not been expressly taken
away by the Code. James b. McCleand then pres"n ed
some not excessively clear Arguments the question
lie was followed by Justice Kbreth, who maintained
that as there provision in the Code in regard TO
mere dsordrly conduct, the former powers OF magis-
traes IN regard 20 offences saved by Section
IWch provides that the provisions OF special statutes
reahk 10 Olences not punishable under the Code sla

Items From Lauderdalo County.

Passenger trains will be running

The creole, cat bird, thrush and the
mockiugbird never were more nu-
merous, nor sang more sweetly than
they have this spring. An abuu-
dance Of electricity seems to agree
with them.
Lauderdale county is now shipping
vast quantities of sawed lumber.
There is no better timbered lands to
be found in the world than are to be
seen in Lauderdale county, Dyer not
excepted.
Our section is suffering greatly from
a fatal malady among h1gs Over a
hundred head have died within the
last month,
Ripley is visited almost every day
by a flock of hungry drummersauxious
to sell goods to our merchants. When
the railroad is completed, the trade of
this section will be fought over by
Memphis, Paducah, Louisville, Gin
c%innali and st. Louis, and the drum.
mers will be as thick as the leaves in
Valambroso. Memphis holds the van
ground at present, and will can
ture the cake, if her merchants are as
enterprising and progressive as we
think they are.
The construction train is now run
ming to the dump on the South side of
the South Fork, and track laying is
progressing at the rate of a mile and a
half a day. Look out for the Locomo
tive at Ellis Gap about the first of
next week.
A fine report comes from every seq
ton of our county relative to the
crop. The acreage is very large
and the yield promises to be greater
than we ever knew before. There are

The county that is thought will turn
