MR.. MEALY INDICATED.
His imprisonment by Order of n Mex
fcan Court Was Irregular.

&. MONTEREY, Mex, April 12.-The Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Mexico has
handed down decision in the noted Mealy
case, in which it is held that the impris-
onment of Mr.. Mealy by the Federal Dis
trict Court at Ciudad Poririo Diaz. was
irregular and arbitrary. In the decision 1t
is declared that Mr.. Mealy was not in
contempt of court and was not guilty of
perjury.
Mr.. Mealy was imprisoned last year on q
charge of contempt of court. He was sum-
moned to give evidence in a mining in
vestigation being made by the court at
Ciudad Porfirio Diaz. Sickness prevented
his attendance at the time, but he sent his
attorney to explain TO the court. The court
refused to accpet his explanation and or
dered him to be arrested and sent forcibly
to Ciudad Porflrio Diaz. He was impris-
oned in Monterey four days and in Ciudad
Porfirio Diaz six days, in spite of protests
of the American consul. At the end of
this time the charges Of perjury and rob-
berry were added to the one OF contempt of
court. After urgent protests bail was al
lowed in the sum Of 1880, which Mealy
had to furnish in cash of a certain issue.
This decision vindicates Mealy.
