Church, justice of the peace. In the petition, it will be remembered, it was declared that a justice of the peace in the District of Columbia has no lawful rght or authority to commit any one to jail, and has no lawful right or authority to commit any one to Jail for contempt; that in committing on to jail Justice Chureh exceeded his authority and power; that Ca: judged in contempt in his absence and without being heard in person or by attorney, and has been lodged 1n jail as for contempt without having had any hearing or any opportunity to purge himself of said pretended contempt, and that Carson did not and has not committed Judge Ccle cennection (0h n, for in . in ‘his answer, declared that Carson was given a chance to be heerd in the proceedings in the action for contempt, that he Gid receive the papers issued to him in that action; that he was not ignorant of the time ard nature of the action, and that he was guilty of contempt. The justice further said that Carson called at his office and ccnversed with him in re- gard to the proceedings, during which the latter produccd papers issued by the magis- trate, and asked whether or not the trial for contempt would be held in the justice’s office. He was informed that it would, so it is stated, and Carson remarked that his attorneys would be in attendance at the time of the trial. The proceedings in court today occupled but Hitle time, the arguments of counsel being brief. Judge Cole took the matter under consideration, stating that he will announce his decision at the earliest pos- eible date. Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords, in behalf of Car- non, remarked in opening that he would confine himself to one point of law. He went on to say that in the consideration of the case two propositions are presented: Can a justice of the peace commit for con- tempt under any circumstance? If 80, 1s the case of Carson such a case? Contempt is a crime, stated Mr. Jeffords, and a pro- ceeding for contempt is a crimiual proceed- ing. The statutes provide, he said, that justices of the peace have no criminal jur- isdiction. Mr. Frank Stephens, of counsel for Jus- tice Church, stated, among other things, that the contempt on the part of Carson was committed in the presence of Justice Church, and that was the real reason why the petitioner was committed to jail. In view of this statement, it was presumed, Justice Church, took offense at the words or action of Carson the day the latter call- ed at the justice’s office und declined to pay the fine imposed because he had inter- fered with a cotistable several days before. ‘Mr. Waiter Clephate, of counsel for Jus- tice Church, weht over the law relating to justices of the”peaée in detail. He. con- cluded by saying thdt it would be a terrible thing to decidé''that any bystander may, without fear of punishment, interfere with a constable in the execution of his duties. Mr. Perin W. 'Fri , of counsel for Car- son, concluded the atguments. By direction of Jidge Cole, Carson was released on his perfonal recognizance, he obligating himséif to appear in court from day to day until'the'matter is disposed of. i —_—_e—___ OFFICE UUDING BURNED.
