A. 5. II. WAS
HEARD.

a. S. Humphreys, judge Of the First
Circuit Court, yesterday had an oppor-
tunity to judge of the feelings of the
many citizens who have sat before his
own tribunal in humble supplication
for justice.
. In pursuance of the summons served
on His Honor on Tuesday. Judge Hum
phreys appeared yesterday morning be-
fore the Supreme Court to show cause
why the writ of mandamus prayed for
by petitioners, commanding that he re-
mand his order that the jury fees of
petitioners be forfeited, should not be
issued.
The tribunal where the Judge is ac-
customed to sit was occupied by the
three Chief Justices, and like those
who have so often trembled before him.
Judge Humphreys took the humble seat
below.
The defense, as indicated by the de-
murrer heretofore filed, was made up
on the allegation that the petitioners
were improperly proceeding and not
acting in the accustomed process of the
law in appealing to the higher court;
his attorney, A. S. Hartwell, suggested
that the grievance of the jurors should
have been aired before the lower court
whence 1t originated. and perhaps re-
dress might have been made. To this
suggestion n delicate intimation that
had the jurors followed such course
they might have received, instead of re-
dr'sS. n Weighty seutcic. o.. .."g for
contempt of court. was made by the
attorneys for the petitioners Andrews
Peters and Andrade.
The argument occupied nearly the
entire day 1t was taken under cunsid-
Grafton by the Supreme Court late in
the afternoon.
