The case Of Henry l.. Plumb and J. c. Par
ker, charged with violating the postal law
in deposting and sending lottery letters
through the mail, which has been on hearing
before U. $. Commissioner S. c. Mills since
last Wednesday, came to a sudden termination
yesterday afternoon by the commissioner dis
missing the parties. The question Of juris-
diction was raised, aud when the law was con-
suited the government was convinced that tho
case could not properly como before the COM
missioner. Mr.. Plumb subsequently was again
taken into custody, on tho same charge and
taken before Judge SMELL when he gave bail
for his appearance. At the tridl the evidence
failed to connect Mr.. Parker with the trans.
action and he was not rearrested.
