NEW CAsE.-The application to the President
for the pardon of David s. Terry for the contempt
OF court for which he is undergoing i'm prsonment
in the Alameda county, California, jail presents q
question never yet passed on by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. 1t is whether the
par1oniDg power of the President extends to cases
of contempt Of court. 1t will be remembered that
early in September last Terry's wife, formerly
Sarah Althea Hill, who had claimed to be the wife
OF the late Senator Sharon, made scene in the
United States Circuit Court room at San Francisco
while Judge Field was rendering decision
against her. She became violent, snd her removal
from the court loom was ordered. The satchel
she had with her was found to contain revolver
with FIVE of its barrels loaded. Her husband who
resigned the Chief Justiceship Of Californis in
1853 to fight the duel in which he killed David
C. Brodcrick) resisted aid beat the marshal when
he attempted her removal He was overpowered
and she was taken out. Being then released, he
followed, and in or near the court room he drew
a bowie knife, with which to fght his way into
the room where his wife was in custody For
this misoehavior IN the presence Of the Court and
resistance to its authority, both were sdjudged
guilty of contempt, and committed to jail-he for
six months and che for thirty days.
