Get out of the notion of making beds

Working so late in the field makes

ischarged on Monday last by his
Judge Merriek. before whom they 'zcre
brought under writ Of Habeas Corpus.
the Court holding that the Justice Of
the Peace, Mr. Henry G.. Robertson,
who convicted them, had no jurisdic-
ton, they having committed no oifense
against the laws Of the State or County.
Capt. Chivers visited his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Housemann, SEINE time in the
latter part Of last February, and made
the trip down the Potomac river in his
steam. launch. Upon his return, Mr.
Housemann, who accompanied him with
his ducking skiif a part Of the way mp
the river, shot and killed some swan
and gave them to Captain Chivers. They
we're both arrested for their respective
acts-Mr. Housemann for killing the
swan on the Potomac river, and Captain
Chivers for accepting the present from
his brcther-in-law and fined $50 aud
costs and sentenced to jail for refusal to
pay the same. The point was made be-
fore the Justice by Mr. A. Posey- Coun-
sci for the accused, that the arrest Of
the parties was without authority in,
law, there being no law to prohibit the
shooting of wild fowl in the Potomac
river, but was overruled, and writs of
Habeas Corpus were sued out, with the
result that they were discharged and
the County mulched into fifty or seventy
five dolla.s of costs. The warrants were
sworn out by Deputy Game Warden,
Mr. Harry Malcolm.
Too many Game Warde1s and too
much vigilance on their part in a desire
to win glory may prove an expensive
experiment for the County.
