The case of Hallett Kilbourn agatnst $e geant-at-Arms Thompaon, of the House of Rep- rescntatives, Speaker Randall et al. was to-day decided by the United States Supreme Court. ‘The Court simply announced the deciston, say- ing the opinion would be delivered hereafter. ‘Mr. Kiltourn sued for damages because he was imprisoned for refusing to deliver up certain pa- pers and answer certain questions to the House committee investigating tne District real estate Pool, so-called. In the District Supreme Cort the dk fendants set up the special plea that they bad obeyed the orders of the House of Repre- sentatives in imprisoning Ktibourn. The latter demurred and the court overruled his demurrer. Kilbourn appealed and today the United States Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the District. Supreme Court, and sent the case back for further | iprencn Tals decis- ion, so far as it_goes, is favorabfe to Kilbourn, as the United States Supreme Court virtually held that the plea of defendants for imprison- ing complainant was not sufficient. Just now as the Senate Lo oe) to investigate tne pub- cation of the Chinese treaty, aud !mprison Witnesses who refuse to answer, the newspa- per men regard the Supreme Court's deelsion of Uo-day as specially favorabie to them. The reversal of that juggment by the Supreme Court of the United States, would seem, now, to have set limits to the power of Congress to order the seizure of private books and papers and imprisonment of private individuals for contempts not committed in its presence. * Chief Justice Cartter and Judge Wyliv, It is but proper to say. dissented from tha judgment. which was rendered by the court below, una which bas just been reversed.
