Commitment AGAINST Ld1Cyer.

The Appellate Division yesterday dismissed the
writ of certiorari sued by Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler and affirmed the order Of commitment
made by Justice Newburger. Under the original
order Mr. ChanIer was fined $105 for contempt Of
court with the alternative of the days in jail. He
refused to pay the fine and the court then conf
mitted him 10 jail for ten days. An appeal was
taken and a stay obtained Mr.. Chanler, on
the face of this. Will have to the term i'll jail
unless the court permits him pay the fine when
he is again arraigned.
The fine was imposed while NJ. Chanler act
