and wounding Peter Judge, with intent
10 kill, ives called in the Mayors Court

animation. II. A. Maurice, Esq, ju.

Mathews, who is attending the

about out of danger. He is walking
about his reorn, and has been down

are healing except one, and that Is in
q healthy condition. When asked how
long before Judge would be able to sp-
pear in court, DR.. Mathews said he
thought there was no doubt that be
would be able to do so in q week or ten
days. The case was continued until
Saturday the l4th instant.
Mr.. Maurice asked il his client would
be allowed bail if so, in what suup
Mr.. Page opposed granting bail. He
did not doubt that DR.. Mathews's opin-
ion concerning Judges condition was
correct yet be was opposed to grant
ing bail in rny felony case Of so grave
0 nature until the evidence is heard. He
thought it best to get at the animus
which iDcites q man to commit felony
before considering the question Of bail.
Mayor Taylor said that If be refused
bail in this case and an application WAS
made to Judge French, Of the Hus:ing,
Court, he hsd no doubt that the latter
would grant it. as he had done in
Kidd's case. He WAS not satisfied,
however, to grant bail until after the
preliminary examination on the 14th.
Mr.. Maurice said he only wanted b
know what amount would be required,
so that he might ascertain IL his cliont
could give the bond. lie WAS willing
to wait until after the preliminary ex-
animation is held.
Cordra was sent back to jail.
