charged 10y Attorney Thomas l. Jones with
a violation of the civil rights act, on May
. last, in the police court today through

The specific of3ensc is that THE def end
ant refused and neglected To serve certain
articles ordinarily sold in his restaurant
L. a certain weIl-Dehavcd and respectable
person. ~ wit: Thomas L. Jones' -
The demurrer alleges that the infor-
nation is had in law and substance. II
states hat while it is expressly decided as
regards Tire states OF the Union, that what
is commonly called the civil rights act"
is void, in the same decision it is held
that the Territories and the District of
Columbia are subject TO the plenary legis-
ldtion Of Congress in every branch OF muni-
cipal legislation.
Therefore, without such legislation, the
act OF the legislative assembly, approved
June %, 1873. under which the informa-
ton IS brought, Illegal and void
The demurrer also sta es that his license
obtained from the District government con-
tains no provision restricting him in his
control Of the persons to re admitted 10
said eating house or requiring him to re-
Ceive and accommodate any particular class
Of persons who may apply, nor can or does
any such restriction legally exist.

cure the release of his sister, Miss Mary
Ball from the Convent of the House of the
Good Shepherd.
Miss Ball is known at the institution as
Sister Magdaena of st. Matin The Ball
family are all of Catholic faith.
Mr. Ball conceived an idea that his sister
was being detained in the convent gainst
her will, from the fact, as he stated that
i'll his visits to the convent he was never
allowed to see her alone, another sister
being always present in the room during
their interviews. Therefore, through his
attorney, he caused legal proc eedingS
TO he instituted against the mother pro-
yincial of st. Martin, at the convent, for
the production of his sister in court.
Sister Magdalena, entered the con-
vent when twenty-one years of age, and
has been there for ten or eleven years
She stated on the stand that she went
there OF her own free will and accord,
and desired to remain there. Further
more, that she was not deprived of Ter
liberty by those in charge OF the institu-
ton
The sister superior stated that Sister
Magdalenc was at liberty to leave the con-
vent at any time she was Gesirous Of so
doing.
After hearing the evidence the court de
cided to dismiss the petition, and Sister
Magdalene went back to the convent.

lishInent here and has not yet returned
