The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
handed down decision that when an I'M
successful prosecutor in Quarter Sessions
case is charged with the costs and refuses
to pay he cannot be sent to jail. This de
cision will proba bly, increase the number
- &c ~ defendant
nav the costs" 1t will also make District
Attorneys more careful in bringing suits,
for the prospect of getting costs out of the
defendant is generally less hopeful than
the chances of getting them out OF the
prosecutor-Er.
The recent decisions of the Supreme
Court, allowing game killed IN other states
to be sold in this State, though out OF
season with us, is not pleasing to sports
men, though it will be received with favor
by game dealers, as it will enable them TO
deal in game from other States when the
season of killing is closed in this. VIM.
Wilkinson, q dealer in Pittsburg, was con
yicted in the Court of Quarter Sessions of
selling quail out of season and fined S2Oo,
twenty Of the birds being found in his pos
session. The birds were proven to have
been shot during the quail season in
Missouri and brought here. Mr.. Wilkin-
son appealed with the above result. Uni
form game laws for all the States are need
ed to correct the present destructive usages
and save the game.
THE BooDLER CASES.
The arguments in the appeals of Messrs.
Tate, Downing and Shaffer from the judg-
ment of Judge Hazen, in committing them
to Jail for contempt of Court in refusing TO
answer at the trial of Wallace at New
Castle, were heard by the Supreme Court,
sitting at Philadelphia, last Monday.
The defendants counsel aver that Sec
ton 80 of Article of the State Constitu-
ton refe rs to Legislative bribery alone
and does not cover this case; while the
counsel for the Commonwealth think it
does, and that the Court below had proper
jurisdiction over the persons and subject
matter of the case.
The language of that section OF the Con-
stitution is general, though 1t is placed
under the head of Legislation.
