 YESTERDAY was a lively day in the Earp. Holiday case Judge Smith came up from Contention, and opened court at 10 a. m., when the case was taken up on a technical point and ably argued by Will liam Herring Esq, for the defendants and Judge Robinson for the prosecution. At the close of the arguments Judge Smith took the matter under advisement until o'clock, to which hour he adjourned court. In the mean time writ of habeas corpus vas issued by J. H. Lucas, Esq. probate judge, returnable forthwith. The points upon which the wit was issued were ar gued by Mir. Herring and against by Ben. Goodrich, Esq Upon mature deliberation Judge Lucas sustained the writ. The full text of the decision will be found in anoth- CT column, and will be read with interest by the entire community. It is an able document and settles, we trust, for all time in this county, the question as to how many times person may be arrested on the same charge.
