A Test Case—Mr Riker, I f the Washing- an. n. nhs One Horse tcep Grade with Hum $0 end Costa An interesting case, involving the liability of | street tailway companies for overloading their car and for the acts of their employes in mal- tresting the animals in their charge, came before Justice Mills last evening, on complaint of Theodore F. Gatebell, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, who charged Mr. Kiker, president of the Washington and Georgetown railway, through his « mployes—the conductor and driver of street car No. iv—with having cruelly beaten the horses attached to the car nam loading said car, whi was made—ou Monday morning last—contained forty-seven passengers.

This the driver refused to do, and he (witness) counted them, and found there re forty-seven, without the conductor or driver. The latter admitted that the horses could net pu'l the car, loaded as it was, up the hull. They were very much exhausted; one horse as in good condition, and the other was rather thin. Ar. Bradley here arose and argued thatthe act complained of was penal in its character, and, as a criminal charge against a corporation, could not be tried hetore a justice of the peace, but must be taken toa higher court. Atter argument by jurisdiction, Justice Mills stated that it was not im his province to decide as to the validity of the jaw. He should, therefore, go on with the case, and Mr. Bradley might appeal. Joseph Luckett, the conductor of ear No. 4, testified ax to the number of passengers he car vied at the ti of the arrest, which corre- sponded with the number given by Mr. ¢ bir orders trom the railway company carry all the paenger Fegardiess of the Bumber or condition of the h by Prof. a Trial | msel ou the question of | re. | m.

About an hour after he returned and assumed io be James Ralph, but could not remember his street and number; that he left andsoon returned in company with dohn Clark, and gave his num- ber on E street and voted in the name of James | Kalph.

The law in regard to cruelty to ani- mals is explicit in its terms; it was intended to be so, in order to reach just such cases as this. Mr. Bradley contended that the charge against his client was not for overloading a street c but for cruelly beating the horses attached to it. ‘This charge bad not been sust: “d by the evi- dence, and he thererore expected a verdict of acquittal. Bir. Harrington closed for the defence. He iusisted that overloading was a part of the charge, asshown by the terms of the warrant. ‘The allegations of the prosecuting witness had been fully proven, and uo man of common sense would dare to deny that 11,000 pounds, or five tons anda half. is too heavy a load for two poor pecially when the pavements are wet ippery.

The Court overruled the points raised, ss the ground that when a crime is clearly prove: by parole evidence, it is not necessary to pro- duce the documents; that the testimony of Thorn and Evans was direct. and had not been im- peached at all, and should be taken. He sen- tenced Kidwell! to six months in jail. ° JURISDICTION OF THE NEW JUSTICES OF THE PEAcE—In a case tried before Justice A. E. L. Keese this weck, involving a debt of $100, Mr. Elliot, attorney of defendant, filed the following plea as to the jurisdiction of’ the justice: “The defendant says that the said justice has no ju- risdiction in the premises, and cannot lawfully hear and determine this cause, for the reason that he is not a justice or the peace of the United | States in and for the county of Washington, in the District of Columbia, legally appointed and qualified as such, in accordance with the Con- stitution and laws of the United States; and of this the defendant prays judgment.” The Justice, however, gave judgment for the plaintift, and itis said that tle case will go up | te the Supreme Court of the District on writ of certiorari for the p of determining the question as to the constitutionality of the ap- pointment of justices of the peace by the local government of the District. The points of de- fendant’s counsel are understocd to be : ‘That a justice of the peace in and for the county of Washington, D. C., is an inferior ja- dicial’ officer of the United States, created by law in pursuance of that provision of the Cou- stitution which authorizes Congress “to consti- tute tribunals interior to the Supreme Court.” 2d. That as such inferior judicial officer he is within the provisions of article 7, ot the consti- tution, and can be legally appointed only in the manner therein prescribed. 3 ith section of the act of Con- gress, entilled “An act to provide a government tor the Distrietot Columbia,” approved Febru- ary 21, ISI, which confwrs upon the Legislative Assembly power to provide fur the appointment of justices ot the peace in said District, is uncon- stitutional and veid,in so far as it assumes to transfer the power of appointing those officers to the local government ereated by said act. ‘The question is a very important one, in view of the large powers exercised by justices of the pea this Distriet.

The object of this proceeding is to determine the mental condition of Susan Brayfield, to whom the late Samuel DeV left a considerable portion of his estat $60,000 in bonds and money, besides real’ estate, and to prevent the respondent from taking her beyond the jurisdiction of the court. ‘The peti- tioners charge that Mrs. Brayfield has not fudi- ciously managed the estate, as about to return to Canada and take Mrs. Bray- field and the property with him—he being a ci zen ot that state; that they have not been per- mitted to visit their mother, &c.
