ALBANY Dec. 15.-The Hon. J. Newton Fiero.
who is counsel for the members OF the State
Board OF Canvassers OF 1891. in connection
with the proceedings instituted to punish
them for contempt In canvassing the Mylod
returns in the Duchess county Senatorial
case. said to-day that he would not appeal
from the order OF the General Term issued
last week requiring those members to show
cause. He says that tho State Board Of Cam
vassers. having claimed at General Term that
the orders OF Justices Edwards and barnard.
dismissing the applications for orders TO show
cause. were not appealable. holds the same as
to an appeal to the Court OF Appeals on the
part OF the defendants. He will only appeal
after decision on the merits Of the case Of
the Special Term.
Justice Mayham has completed his opinion,
In which he dissents from the decision Of the
General Term requiring the State Board
Of Canvassers to show cause. He holds that
the appeal should be dismissed on the ground
that an appeal from a refusal to grant an
order to show cause will not lie to the General
Term, and also on account OF the long delay In
making the application. He further dissents
on the ground that tho order OF Justices Ed
wards and Barnard were discretionary, and IL
Is to be presumed they knew whether their
merits. for the reason that the defendants vio-
lated no order OF any court. He concurs with
Justices Edwards and Barnard, and endorses
the opinions on which both Of these Justices
refused to grant the application requiring the
members to show cause.
