J*robate Court.—In thecaueof W. I' Berry which we noted yoEterday, ot 4 P. M. TVIr-D- Goodwin, Chief of Police, made return 10 (ho writ, to the efioct that he had not the man ih custody and could not produce him m Court. A motion was then made for an attachment again at Goodwin by Judge Marsh, the prisoner's counsel, Mr. T- J. Taylor in behalf of the Chief of Police, resisted the ,n:ol.on on the ground that the return made to the writ was sufficient, that Goodwin had no authority over (he prisoner or over policeman B, Spengler who had the man in custody, and that the arrest made waa outside oi the police regulations of the city and under their authority to act as constables; here the attorneys, the Judge and every body else get wound up in a snarl, on the principle of new job see u. and now you don’t see it; in the mean time Policeman Spangler appeared in Court, and shortly afterwards brought in the prisoner. The case w*a now determined as to who had the custody of the roan, while the; Judge still thought Goodwin treated the Court with contempt in not producing the prisoner,; After a time the return to the writ was amended to (he satisfaction of the Court, and the case came up for hearing when the facta were developed aa we stated the ether evening; the points ware argued by counsel for and agaiuat his discharge, after which the judgment of the Com t was given discharging the prisoner from the custody of the police, when he was immediately arrested by Ctpt* Tanner whom we had noticed m the Court room, as a bou ay jumper, and was aeni t* Cincinnati in charge of the police last night. This esse we don't understand. The prisoner's relatives hereabouts aie quite respectable people and we doa’t believe he is guilty of all that is charge d against him.
