BRAOLEY. Decision of the Court as te His Readmis- This morning, im the Supreme Court in Gen- eral Term, (Judges Cartier, Olii ia Wylie,) Judge Wylie delivered the opinion ot the court im the case of Mr. Bradley, as follows: In the matter of Joseph H. Bradley.—The paper submitted to the court a few days ago by Mr. Bradley professes to bave two objects : One to offer au spology to this court for his langaage vo Judge Fisher im the Criminal Court; and the other Wy protest against our applying to his case the rule recently adopted excluding from prac- tuce im all the courts organized by the act of ‘March 3d, 1863, any attorney who may have either of them, so long as the order for that purpose continues im force. In its character as an apology—since the de- cisson of the Supreme Court in ez party Brad- Jey—tbis court no longer any authority to dvcide upon the paper. The Supreme Cuurt bas decided that Mr. Bradley's offence was not offered in this court, or to one of its judges. He therefore owes this court no apology. As it reepects the other object of thepaper, We are of opinion that s decision at this ume would be premature. Our own records show that Mr. Bradley has been dismissed from the bar of the Criminal They show also the contempt offered to that court when its order of dismissal im delivering him the letter commouly ted “the challenge.” nce Mr. Bradley seems inclined to and the paper how belose the Court is bis third essay in taat direct . we do not propose to enfore our rule against Rim at present, in order that be way be afforded a ren-onable time and oppor | samiry tor applying to me Criminal Court for restcration tg the Dar. ‘The Criminal Qourt being quite indepenient ef this Court, in consequence of the recent de- ¢1-10n of the Supreme Court, we have no power Present to compel the recission of its order of niseal even if the Apology now offered were Tso saustactory to as.

Tue man who feels conscious of haying done no wrong ought not to offer apology. If he propose tu apologise, be should make his apology as broad as his offense, The present case, im oar judgment, requ from Mr. Bradley a paper characterized by manly mgenvous sincerity: confessing the Wrong, and rejracting the causes of offense ra terms of precision, direct and clear to the com- Mou uncerstanding. It will mot do to retract the offensive language in one sense and uot in every sen: With the causes which led to Mr. Bradley's dismisesal from the bar by the order of Judge Fisher whilst bolding tbe Cuiminal Court we baye nothing now to do.

If ai lowed to go om, no ove can tell where this thing will stop. Already this same insult has been thrown im the face of one-half our num- ber. We do not mean i: shall go further. The Supreme Court of the United States bas decided that we Bave no power in general term to pun- isb for contempt in the several branches of the court,or for a challenge sent by a member of the bar to one of our Judges; in the paper before ws. Mr. Bradley contends that the several Judges ‘Whilst holding conrt are aiso powerless to re- move a member of the bar for these offence Sbould that view ripen mto decision here: tue circle will be complete. No power to Miss im the general ierm except for offenses offered there, and no power im any of its branches. Duty to tue Court, to the Govern. ment. sud to the country demande at our hands firm mantaimance of such authority as has bern lett to us. With a proper spirit on the part of Mr, Bradley there would be no difficulty in traming an Bpoiogy Which would be sa'tsfactary to the Criminal Court, as well as this, and be credi- table to bu The avsence of this spirit bas hitherto been the only obstacle to his restora- tion, We entertain a sincere respect for nis age, for bis lesrning and ability in the profes- sion. We have felt i! to bea paintul duty to exclude him from the bar of which he was the acknowledged leader. and where we have ofen witnessed bis triumphs. These sentiments bave been shown ia our Proceedings from the very commencement. The Gifficulty between Judge Fisher and himselt arose in the course of the trial of Sarratt im the summer of is67, That trial commenced in the mouth of June, and continued through a pe- riod of two months. The court-room was crowded constantly, and the Beat most ex- hausting. The health of Court and counsel Was affected, and irritability of temper was natural, particularly on the part of counsel for the defence. We took all this into consider- ston, and when we met in October we thought it best to ignore for the time the order of missal made by Judge Fisher and allow r Bradley af opportunity to retract his langutge and bis letter, and spologize for both. Tim sufficient bad elapsed, as we thought, for him to have regained his health and bis self-com- mand, and to haye tsken a calm and impa sioned review of bis position. We then issu our rule upon him to show canse why bi =hould not be punished for contempt of court, d purposely conflaed our charges to two pecifications, one the use of offensive language Judge Fister in the Criminal Court, which we then thought was a branch of our jurisdic- tion, and the other the letter to Judge Fisher, to which repeated reference has already been made. But his return to that rule was not suchas we hoped it would be, and our order of dismissa' from the bar was the consequence. He thea apphed to the Supreme Qourt of the Unied States for a mandemus to compel us to restore ry urt grauted the randamus at That also was aresait which we had not looked to as possible. but we have obeyed the mandate by rescinding our or der of dismis-al.
