OF INTEREST TO SUPERIOR JUDGES.

Tho Supreme Court So Decides in q
Case Appealed From MERGED
a Case Reversed.

Two decisions Of the Supreme Court
were filed in Deputy Clerk Govan's Office
on Saturday.
In the case of Upton appellant, against
Upton, the order of the court denying
PLAINTIFFS motion for a new trial was ap-
pealed from. The motion was made on
the ground that Hon. j. X. Law, Judge
of the Superior Court of MERGED County,
was disqualified by reason of having
acted as attorney for defendant prior to
the time of his election
The notice of motion fixed Saturday,
the 9TH of March, 1880, at 10 a. NJ, as the
hour for hearing the motion. At that
time Hon. James II. Budd, Judge of the
Superior Court of San Joaquin County,
at the request Of Judge Law, held a ses-
sion of the Superior Court of MERGED
County, and called the motion referred to
for hearing and determination.
The plaintiff insisted that Judge Law
should hear the motion, because it was
hls duty to hear it, and that he had no
authority to call in another Judge to pass
upon the motion, and thereby deprive
the plaintiff Of the right to have the case
| transferred TO an adjoining county. The
request was denied, and the order was

PALMERs EXAMINATION.

lice Court This Evening.
The examination case of II. j. Palmer.
who killed Charles w. Phleger, was
again called on Saturday by Police Judge
Crayens.
\. J. BruneT, associate counsel for the
defense, addressed the court, asking a
further continuance of Palmer's examin-
ation, stating that as yet he had not been
~ 3le to confer with General Hart, Palm
ei's other counsel. lie stated that as the
witnesses all lived in the county, and most
90 them had given testimony at the in
Guest, he saw no reason why the case
should not be allowed to 90 over for a
lew days. He said the gravity of the case
warranted his request tor continuance,
and that nothing could be gained by
pushing 1t hastily, adding that at any
time alter one week they would be ready
Ia go ahead without any further delay
Re stated that General Hart was also
anxious for its continuance.
Charles 7. Jones, special counsel for
the prosecution, objected to the continu-
auce for week, stating that if the time
asked for was given the counsel for the
defense knew he could not be present.
LIE said it was two weeks since the shoot
5 e occurred, and this delay in the exam
J. alton was unheard OF and without pre-
dent.
Mr.. Jones also said that counsel for the
defense had heard the evidence at the
inquest, that there was nothing difficult
to prepare about it. If the case was ex-
tended for week he believed it would
not be heard for month. The absence
OF General Hart was not a sufficient cause
Tor the delay, and it should proceed at
once.

tinuance, and Mr.. Jones then proposed

r. B. Reed of the City Hotel was found
guilty in the Police Court on Saturday OF
an assault upon John Manion.
1t appeared from the evidence that
John Manion called at the City Hotel and
took up snug quarters near the stove and
proceeded to snooze the hours away.
John had been drunk for some days and
was in need of undisturbed repose. but
he didn't get very much OF 1t at the
City Hotel.
Heed appeared before his bewildered
gaze and insisted upon his going hence
10 some other retreat. To this John OBJ
Jected, and Reed struck him with stick
Just a small stick, used for poker-in
the face. This reduced the dizzy John To
docllty, and he was successfully ousted,
but with loss of blood and a trans

injured drunk, his nerves unstrUng his
mind IN a tumult, his legs uncertain and
his face scattered all over one side of his
head. Besides, one of his eyes looked like

self. He thought Reed had struck him
with heavy walnut or hickory club,
which might have been a pine board
painted black and six inches souare-he
couldn't tell exactly, but from the way
the splinters flew he thought it was.
Another witness told Attorney Hart
that Reed got on his carr and that was
the reason Aianion got on his eye.
Judge CravenS came to the conclusion
that Reed was guilty, and although Reed
conducted his case himself. he will he

Walter Cannon Convicted Before JUS
tice Kaup-He punched the Dutch
man for Quitting.''

Walter Cannon, who owns an orchard
on Merritt Island-across the river from
Courtland-is gaining reputation as a
disciple of the ''manly art" that bids fair
to cause the young gentleman serious
trouble.
On Saturday last a case was tried be-
fore Judge i. S. kaup of Washington,
wherein Cannon was found guilty of
battery.
The facts developed showed that Christia
NJ. Utenberg, who came to America
some three months ago, wandered up the
Sacramento River looking for work, and
met Cannon last Monday night. He
was engaged to work for Gammon-and
his wife to do the cooking-and house
was TO be furnished the couple to live in.
Utenberg performed the work required
of him on Tuesday, and on Wednesday
morning, just after sunrise, he inquired
Of Cannon where he and his wife were
to live when she should come up, and
was informed 'in the China house"
To this the emigraut objected, and said
the abode did not meet the requirements
promised to those Of the old country ii
they would come ito the land Of the free
and the home of the brave" whereupon
he LOlG tTalllIlOn ne WOULD quit.
His employer would not allow it, and
told the other hired man on the ranch,
Albert Locllart, that he guessed he would
punch the Dutchman for quitting" and
carried out his threat by decorating the
ocular organ Of the German in manner
that would do credit to Tojetti.

ance. Grosjean, she said, died about
three minutes after being struck, and did
not speak.

ney testified that Grosjean was walking
on the track toward the approaching

stantly since leaving the depot, and
when they saw Grosjean the whistle was
blown violently. just before the engine
struck him, the deceased stepped off the

of the accident
The jury found that the killing OF
GrOSjean was accidental, and eXonerated
the railroad employees.
