An INTERESTING CASE.
Can Man be Imprisoned Without Con
viction

VictiOn
II will be remembered that William
Johnson during January was before Jus
tice ID. {. Richardson on the charge OF
petit larceny. The court acquitted him
of the charge but required him 10 give
bond and security in the sum of $500 for
the period of 70 months to keep the
peace Unable to give the security,
Johnson was sent to Jail, where he now
is.
He desired to appeal to the Hastings
Court. but Justice Richardson refused TO
certify his appeal Accordingly he OBJ
tained rule against Justice Richardson
10 appear and show cause why q
maHdanlus should not issue to compel
him to grant the appeal. The ground he
takes is that it was wrong, after man
had been tried on a charge and found not
guilty, for him to be afterwards i'm
prisoned because of failure or refusal to
give a bond TO keep the peace.
Justice Richardson has filed an answer
to the rule awarded against him, and this
was yesterday given TO William II. Bey-
eridge, Johuson's counsel, for him TO
make the replication.
The idea involved in this entire matter,
as claimed, is that under the Constitution
and Bill of Rights no one can be impris'
Oned except upon verdict rendered by
a Jury of his peers. The statute law Is
thought To be obscure on this point, and
the decision of Judge Atkins, who is
painstakiug in the search for authorities
will be read with interest.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries Of a

honest public, and the supply OF this species
of work seems more than an adequate demand.

tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudablc
enterprises; but the cXecrlble practice OF

The Manufacture of Soap.

The manner of making the different
grades of commercial soap Is essential
ly the same, though different kinds of
fat may be used. 1t is always made on
u large scale, in enormous watts or boil
ers. Several hundred weights of crude
soda ash is first dissolved in boiling
water in the soap boiler, which is a
huge circular ron vessel holding from
500 to loo gallons. with a steam pipe
in the center. Half of the weight of
the soda is pure caustic; lime is then
added and the IN xture boiled.
When the lime has rendered the soda
c~austic. the boiling is discontinued.
Several hundred weight Of tallow is
now put into the soap-pan. which is a
different vessel made of cast iron, to
which heat is applied. either by means
OF a furnace beneath it, or by steam
carried by pipes around the bottom of
the pan. The latter is the usual meth
cd. The pan usually holds several
tons.
After the tallow. cut into pieces, is
put into this pan. a quantity of I've is
added. the steam is turned on, and the
boiling cont nued until the I've is thor
O'-h'f ihNVi pOl oit'l WIN Alt ldllONs
and the whole becomes a pasty mass.
Several shovelfuls of common salt are
now thrown in. This causes the I've to
separate, and as tie mass cools. the I've,
deprived of its soda. is drawn off. .
Fresh I've is then added and boiled,
ana this is repeated untR
the tallow is saturated with the soda;
that it will not take up any more.
Water is now added until the proper
consistency is reached.
II resin is to be used. it is now added,
and the mass aga n boiled. 1t is then
run of into frames or moulds. where
II is allowed 20 sol df,. and then is cut
by wires into bars, dried and packed
IN boxes. One ton of yellow soap will
require 1000 pounds of tallow, $50
pounds of resin. with I've sufficient to
make the whole a smooth. perfectly
homogeneous and saponaceous mass.
