NIB. N00EAN'S FIGHTING DAY.
Does Vice Chancellor Pitney Hold
Eours-DaIY,s Postponernent Plea.

COurs-DaIy's PostponerneDs Plea.
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan was in a
belligerent mood this morning. Lawyer
Alexander Simpson, at the request of ex-
Judge Thomas F. Noonan, asked to have
the trial of John Molloy postponed because
Mr.. Noonan, who is Molley's counsel, is
engaged in the Chancery Court in a hear
ing before Vice Chancellor Pitney.
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan objected.
He said that if Judge Noonan was en-
gagged in g. hearing before Nic~e-Chancellor
Pitney he was engaged i'll the Chancery
Court. The constitution provides for only
one Chancellor, and a Vice-Chancellor is
just about the same as a master in Chan
GAS -vice-Chancellor Pitney's office is
not a COURT said Mr.. Noonan, land this
is a court, l think this court should have
the preference. and Judge Noonan should
Judge Hudspeth said he would hold the
case over for a short time and directed
that word be sent to Judge Noonan to
come up when he gets through with the
proceedings before V~ice-Chancellor Pit
ney.
Directly following this, Senator DAILY
asked for a postponement of the James
Sherlock case, which is set down for
Wednesday, until e Monday or Tues
day. He said he had al imperative en-
gagement in the Chancery Court at As
bury Park for tomorrow, and the hear
ing would certainly occupy two days. As
sistant Prosecutor Noonan objected, but
Judge H%udspeth set the case down for
next Monday. Mr.. Noonan then insisted
that the defendant or his counsel be re-
quired to pay the fees. Senator Daily pro-
tested that the subpoenas had not been
served on the witnesses, or'if they had
there was no necessity for being in such
a hurry. He said the case might not be
tried for a year. He roposes to argue
that his client cannot be tried again be-
cause he was once acquitted. If the
point is decided against him he proposes
to take a writ of error and that will tie
up the case until the Supreme Cour dis
poses of the writ. Judge Hudspeth said
the action of the cour would be, but di-
rected Senator DAILY to have the witt

RECEIVER FOR A HUSBAND.
Porterss Failure to Pay Alimony
Cauxes an Extreme Chancery Order

A Somewhat out Of the ordinary order
was made by Vice Chancellor Pitney in
the Court of Chancery this morning. Last
May Mary Porter secured a separation
from her husband, George H. Porter, OF
the Lafayette section of this city, and the
Court directed Porter to pay his wife SD
per month. This ne paid regularly up to
August, when he ~defaulted.
This morning William r. Barricklo ap-
Piled to the Vice Chancellor for an order
adjudging Porter to be in contempt Of
court for disobeying the order for all
and a receiver appointed to take charge
of the property and pay the alimony.
After listening to Mr.. Barricklo,s afi-
davits, the Court granted the application
and appointed Clarence Linn as receiver.
1t is seldom tina the Court goes to such
extremes to enforce the payment of all
m0ny.
