test and the defendants arraigned
this evening before Judge Boarmann,
who, after hearing the evidence, decided
that they were not guilty Of violating the

charge. An appeal was taken by District
Attorney Patterson and the two de-
PENDANTS were each placed under bonds
for appearance at the appeal trial After
the decision writs Of habeas corpus were
issued in the case of each arrested party.
The anticipated trouble over the arrests
did not occur. This virtually settles the
question until the appeal is heard.

day, Judge Boarmann ordered that the

THE AVIS.
Cheistiaasted, St. Cc0ax
Wednesday, 10th May 1894.

Monday, as a holiday, was a day of mixed
pleasures. In the morning heavy showers
fell in most parts of the island, and in the
afternoon the sun shone out bright and hot
but even then there were one or W light
showers that interfered with the comfort Of
the cricketers and marc Oners whom the sun
had tempted out.
Allowing for these drawbacks, the cricket
match oil lie Parade Ground between elevens
from the two towns was a great success.
Play was to have commenced at 10 O'Clock,
but was neces sarily put off on account Of the
rain, and commenced soon after che. Chris
tiansted went in first and made SO runs out
Of which one of the younger players had
80 all 10 himself. Ftederiksteu then went III
and made 20. The second innings was COM
menced by FrederiksteG, which was doing
very we'll, having made So runs with only 5
wickots down, when ii was considered desira-
bic to stop the game and repair to the tent
for refreshments. The military band was
present and gave some very good pieces dur
ing the play, and there was a co nsiderable
number Of spectators. We intend printing
the score IN Saturdays Avis.
104 lines Of rain were measured in Chris
tiansted yesterday morning.
