Juror—Counsel has asked me if I am a member of the Young Sien’s Christian Association, and I said that Iam Counsel tor deiendant—I object to feted because he is the Yor Ag, won 's Christian Association, and it is notorious that prosecution has been got up under the auspices of that association.

Counsel for defendant—Ihen I challenge the juror peremptorily. ‘The juror was ordered to stand aside, and, a full jury having been sworn, the trial was proceeded with. “The principal witness for the prosecution was Anthony Com- stock, special agent of the Post Office.

Judgo Benedict declined to do this, Dr. Sayre said he desired to muke a word of explana- tion. At the time he was called upon by the Marshal to appear he was actually engaged in attendance upon two critical cases, and he contessed that he declined to come ‘ourt until he had attended the cases, where his Presence was absolutely necessary. The Marshal, who had the order of ‘attachment tor him, consented that he should attend to the cases, and had acted towards himswithtthe greatest cour- wideration, Wity respect to the attendance 's witnesses he had a suggestion to make, jis—that it would be of the greatest sapere ance to medical men if a law were pa: enabling ir testimony to be taken, in cases like the present, by com- Wission, so as not to interiere with ¢heir time when at- tending to matters that required all their care and consideration.

In the United States Supreme Court to-day, in the case oft the ship Sapphire vs. Napoleon ITI., Emperor of the French, from the California Circuit Court, recently argued on a question of construction of the decree formerly made in the case, the Court held that where in acase of collision the decree finds both vessels in fault and divides the damages beiween them, if one vemel has shown no damage, it is nevertheless liable for half the damages and costs of the other, although that vessel was also at fault. Under this decision the Sapphire, the lideilea ship, which, as claimant could show, received no damage below, is held for half the damages of the Euryale. the French ship, and any damages ac- tually suffered by her are regarded as not having been contemplated by the Court and as foreign to the case. ‘The coilision occurred in the harbor oi San Francisco, in December, 1870, while the Euryale was moored and the Sapphire at anchor, the latter dragging her anchor and colllding with the former during a gale.
