ner, Heirs lawyer, has to be absent to.

on Thursday. A jury has been demanded.
Squire Peterman said to an INTELtI.
GENcER reporter yesterday that when a
warrant was demanded Of him he had
no option, but must issue it. II there is
a law to this effect justices violate it
every day. Squire Peterman also denies
that other justices refused to issue these
warrants, and inquiry develops that
there was q misunderstanding as to the
warrants applied for elsewhere. The
1NTELLIGENcER did not criticise SQUIRE
Peterman's action, nor impugu his mo.

were as they were, and in doing 30
mildly echoed public sentiment. II de-
sires to do justice to all parties, and e.
pecially to Squire Peterman, and takes
