by the rising waters and plunging
ice only to be driven back to their
damp hood rached houses, we are
thankful to know that our houses

SAYS MAGISTRATE VIOLATES LAW.
COMMITTING VAGRANTS WITHOUT
TAKING TESTIMONY.

Judge Foster. in the Court of General Sessions
yesterday again denounced the practice OF city
magistrates in committing vagrants without
taking testimony as very bad. He was moved
to utter his opinion by an appeal made to him
in the caee of Mary Celersteins. of No % Down
ing-st who on August adjudged an
habitual vagrant by Magistrate Cornell in the
jefferson Market court, and by him committed.
After the woman's lawyer, Thomas A. Smith,
had stated the facts in the case Judge Foster
asked:
What magistrate did that?'
When he told that il was Magistrate Cor
nell. he said:
Well he's getting to be a fragrant violator OF
the law in these cases. This is the third case
on appeal from his court within very snort
time
Then. turning to Assistant District Attorney
Townsend. Judge Foster continued:
Mr. District Attorney, 1 recommend and in
str,lct YOU to call the attention of the Mayor
and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
to the failure of the magistrates TO comply with
the law
He went on TO explain that the Appellate d.
vision had clearly decided that in cases or ols-
orderly conduct and Yagrancy heard in police
courts the evidence must be taken by stenos-
rapher and preserved Where that is not done.
he went on. there is nothing for an appeal
Judge to do but reverse the magistrates de-
cison and discharge the prisoner.
He also said il hard on many prisoners
to be ruthlessly judged convicts. and he hoped
that the ma gstrates would appreciate that they
must keep a record. He then discharged the
woman in whose behalf the appear had peeh
made from Magistrate COrnells decision.
