Tor the judgesbip and being defeat a. The
election OF Judge Clayton was great
disappointment to the Bro0mhall faction
and Mr.. Broomhall has several iimes at
the present session Of the court exhibited
his contempt for Judge Clayton.
In the BoRtwright case on Wednesday
the climax o. tho affair was reached when
Mr.. BToomhsll objected to the court ask
irg 8 witness some question.
The Chester NsDS thus describes the
scene His honor, however, praposed to
exercise his powers, and proceeded with
the examination Of the witness, when
Mr.. Broomhall became excited AMI at
tempted to again interfere. The JUICE
ordered him to be seated, but insiead Of
80 doing he walked about the bar in an
excited and contempt Of court style,
which showed that he did not propose
to be disciplined. Again the Judge
said, "5it down, SIR" hut ie

Judge Clayton proposed to maintain the
dignity Of the court, for as GOOD IS Mr..
Broomall not only refused to obey the

leave, he called out to the officers "bripg
him before the court" whereupon MGjor
Williamson duly armed with his official
staff seizsd the dsoamping attorney by the
arm, and pulled him before his honor.
Mr.. Broomall then made an effort TO leave
BY the main aisle, when tipstAvs Jones
came to Williamson's relief and Mr..
Broomall was duly delivered to the udge.
With a voice that showed the Judge
meant business he again demanded him
TO be seated, when Mr. Broemall, prob

There was a psrosptible twinkle in the
Judges eye, as he then announced that

a LUCKY MURDshEr.
Judge Btump's Verbal Order Not
StEonK enough 10 stand


Fslioe RILzt, an Italian lsbofe-, was
ThuTscAy brought before judge Dofy,
sitting as of the Baltimore city oJlrt on o
petition for hsbeas corpus sworn cut
through Miehasl PslArinO, his friend, aud
through his oiuusel Col. Frank x Ward.
RAMA vas brought from Cecil county by
sheriff William J Smith, who wss ar
compauied by States Attorney BrsttAn of
Cecil county. The petition set iorta IL
the usual manner shat RAMA was ill9
gally detained in the custody OF the
sheriff OF Cecil county, aud required
the latter TO SHOW cause tor
the detention. The sheriff, to the very
evident surprise Of the court, made 10
turn that he held RAMA by the verbal
order OF Judge Stump OF the circuit court
Of Cecil county. RArza, with Michael
Sanders and Joseph Sanders, were ar
rested In September last for assault, upon
receipt Of an ante mortem inquisition
from Miohsel LabriolA, upon which
States Attorney Brattsn made affidavit,
ard the writ directed to the sheriff was
issued by Justice Gllpin of Cecil
county. The ante mortem statement came
from Superintendent Wallipg Of the
New York police. The two Sanders were
released November Sd by writ of habeas
corpus through the effort of Col. Ward.
Thursday the sheriff produced no writ or
warrant Of arrest whatever, and no other
cause Of detention was shown than that
the last grand jury of Cecil county, now
discharged, had suggested 10 the court,
Judge Stump, to hold the prisoner, with
the two before released, to wait the result
OF 'LAbriols's injuries. Judge Duffy
ignored all these statements, and simply
asked Sheriff Smith TO present the cause
Of the caption and detention Of RAnza.
The sheriff replied he had none, that the
magistrate had the war; ant OF arrest. |
Judge Duffy thereupon ordered Ranza's |
release, and he was at onoe set at liberty. |
The case certainly presents loose way Of |
conducting criminal proceedings in Cecil
county.
