Schultz RELEASED.
Charge OF Abandoning His Mature
Wife Must Be Made Anew.

Justice Lippincott~ yesterday afternoon
granted the application mad by Lawyer
Joseph M. Noonan in the morning for
the release of Julius schultz on a writ
of habeas corpus. Schultz had been adj
judged by Police Justice Nevin to be a
disorderly person for failing to support
his family and was committed to the
County Jail in default of giving a bond
in the sum of 5000 to secure the payment
of 81 a week for the support of his fam
lily. In his decision Justice Lippincott
says
In this matter the commitment is ia
tally defective. The charge as stated is
neglect of and neglect to support his
family The commitment does not recite
any conviction Of this charge, but merely
adjudges him guilty of being a disor-
derby person, under Sections 5, ls, IA. 10,
1s, H.. IS and 10 of an Act concerning dis
orderly persons, approved April 8. 1875
The Act of 1875 has been superseded by
the Act of 1895. The commitment is de-
fective under the authorities of
O~Shaughnessy VS.. McLoreman, IA Vroom,
40. Guilt of the person of the charge
made by the Overseer of the Poor must
be first established and declared before
he a be adjudged a disorderly person.
If it is desirable that the petitioner be
luflHeT prosecuted II must De upon pro-
ceedings de novo. On this application up
on habeaS corpus the order is that he be
discharged.
THE trouble about this commitment is
that it was made on a printed form,
which was prepared by officials who were
supposed to be familiar with the law. The
sections of the law quoted by number
are in the printed form and the clerk
who fills in the commitment can scarce
ly be expected to study up the law to
ascertain If the blank form furnished to
him is legally correct

MOST NOBLEW HITEWASHED
British Corruption Extends
Even to the Queens
Bench, It Seems.
BRlBIHG A WITNESS NO Sin
De La War; and Broadley
Acquitted of Contempt of
of Court in. the Hoo
ley Case.

s- . 0dDfC IL L iE
LONDON. Aug. II, 1SsS.-In the Queens
Bench Division of the High Court of JUS
tice today. Justice Wright acquitted Earl
De-La-Warr and Mr.. Broadley of the
charge Of contempt of court in alleged al
tempt to induce Ernest Terah Hooley, the
bankrupt mr. promoter, to falsify
his evidence in the Bankruptcy Court.
TIL learned Judge said, however. that
both were blamable and he nfulcted them
in costs.
Justice Wright said that while he must
absolve Earl e-La-Warr of the charge
of bribery. he must hold hat the Earl
had wrongly tried to induce Mr.. Hooley
to correct sworn statements made by him
in the bankruptcy proceedings and had
~wrongfully promised to help Mrs. Hooley.
Mr.. Hooley. the Judge said, ought not to
be regarded as a mere liar, scattering
statements and accusations without foun-
dation, as had been suggested by the re-
~spondents; but as, OH the witness STAND,
he was rash, reckless and inaccurate, ap-
pearing some times to be suffering from
illusions in a hopeless attempt to disen-
tangle the true from the false, his evil
dence was unsafe to act upon, especially
in a case of such Importance.
Justice Wright said he thought Mr..
Hooley was wrong in testifying that the
document containing the corrected state
ment was written by Mr.. Broadley in the
presence of Earl De~La-Warr. Mr.. Brad
shaw's evidence as to Earl De-La-Warrs
proposal to help Mrs. Hooley was re-
markable. Although Mr.. Bradshaw had
no cause to testify falsely, it must be re-
membered, the Judge continued, that the
Earl had an overwhelming motive for OBJ
tanning Mr.. Hooley's retraction. he could
not believe that it was out of mere char
ity that Earl De-La-Warr had promised
Mrs. Hooley f1,000 s 5000. On the con-
trary. he was forced to h conclusion
that the promise was connected with the
Earl's strong and natural desire to clear
himself from Hooley's accusations. Never
fheless, he acquitted Earl De-La-Warr of
the imputation of inducing Mr.. Hooley to
testify falsely.
With regard to the alleged bribery, he
could not wholly absolve Earl Della
War;. With regard to the money the
Earl received, possibly the latter believed
it was received for services rendered or
as a gift from Mr.. Hooley. The Judge
said he supposed tina was generally the
way names were paid for; but as these
proceedings were only intended to vindi-
cate justice it would be a sufficient pun
ishment for Earl De-La-Warr's indis-
erection if the Court ordered him to pay
costs.
With reference to Mr.. Broadiey's case,
Justice Wright considered him, he said,
much more guilty in asking Mr.. Hooley

important being the naming of ex-Coun-

ward, this city, to be deputy factory in
spector, to succeed John yannata. Mr..

useless to attempt to secure his selection.
Charles f. Hopkins, of Morris county,
was appointed the first member of a COM

The question as to the holder of the old
est patent in this ountry has brought out
from the heirs of Joseph Jencks some
facts which tend to show that he was the
first inventor in this country. Patents
granted from the sovereign power Of Eng
land for land, water and other privileges
were not uncommon in early colonial time.
Biographical notes state that Mr.. Jencks
introduced to the Massachusetts colony
the idea of p~atenting inventions. and that
he might protect and Introduce his ideas
seems to have been his reason for coming
to the new country. The grass scythe pa
tented in 1852 was, perhaps the most valu-
able of his inventions. The Improvement
thick blade, like a push scythe, consisted
in lengthening the blade, making it thin
ner and welding a square bar on the back
and strengthening 1t. Today this scythe.
practically unchanged, is used in Europe
n America. The patent was ithheld
from Mr.. Jencks for nine. years, as Il was
thought to be too valuable to be mo4op0-

any trace Of the thieves who, about three
weeks ago, succeeded in cutting down
about $500 worth of insulated cope feed

where it was found by the police.
Tne police, thinking perhaps that the
thieves would come back for their booty.
