since the case was adjourned tave devoted to the investiga-
tion, rather than the arrangement of the
aerver, upon whom the order was served,
disregarded the order of the
authorities upon the subject. My investigations have been directed to two points: First, as to the method of proceeding, and the rales for the government of proceedings of this kind, where the contempt is slleged to have been committed ont of Court and net in the faee of the Court; and, second; in regard to what constitutes a contempt of Court; and whether this publication amounts to
a contempt or not.
I am frank to amr that I find one English authority strongly supporting the position taken by the court. The case originated, I think, in 1801, in the disturbed times resulting from the French Revolution, when Thistlehesd, Ings and others were tried at the Old Bailey. The commissioner trying them made an order almost exactly like the one made in this trial, and on almost precisely the same reasons offered by the affidavit in this case. The editor of the Saturday 6b-

Court and
in
listlehead and Ings, before the other defends its were tried. For that act he was cited to appear before the Court and show cause why an attachment for contempt of court should not issue against him, and, upon failing, an attachment did issue, and he was fined in the sum of
five hundred ponnds.
The case afterward came up in the Exchequer, where an effort was made to set aside the tine, and the Court. of Exchequer, every Faron rendering an opinion, determined that the fine was properly indicted, and it stood against the defendant. This is the only case I have been able to find, on either aide of the water, that is exactly in point. There are two cases originating in Pennsylvania, that refer io ne wspaper articles, one of which cases was determined in the Federal ClrSiHt Court and the other in. tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which had great prominence at the time Of the. occurrences involved in them, but they do not raise the question involved here. There, the articles published and fbr which the parties were respectively fined and imprisoned were, in one case, an article calculated to reflect upon the proceedings of the Court and jury, and in the other, an article calculated to anticipate,. and thereby, influence the action of the jury: It related to artiticles writren by parties concerned in the trisi, and the contempt arose as an incident to civil proceedings. In one case, perhaps both, they were suits for libel. In one case the editor of the paper charged with libel undertook to influenco tbe jury before verdict, and in the other to disparage the jnrv on account of its verdict. Thev were brought before the Coart and fined. In one of these cases the proceedings were eventually taken before the Legislature, and an investigation had In the lower House. It took a party turn there, and in a vote taken twenty-threo members voted for impeachment and thirty-fonr against it, and that was the end of the matter—imprisonment for thirty days having, however, been inflicted upon tbe defendant in contempt. I would like in this ease to have time to present fairly the question, whether there is a diflerence in the law as it relates to tbe rights of the press under our constitutional provisions and those rights under the British Government where there are no such constitotional provisions. . Here, (a thing that never existed in Englrnd) there is in the Bill of RighU.lnevery constitution, and in ours, a very strong setting forth of the rights

Hon. 8. E. Perkins addressed the Court briefly, as follows: J shall not be disposed to stand upt* questions of mere form and technicalities. I suppose that the court only ■brought this matter np again with a view to a legal investigation of the question involved. It is a question of great importance. Our duty and our intention will be to show, if possible, that there is a .difference between the powers of the court under our Government and under the .Government of Great Britain. If we can not do that, it will follow, of course, that the chart in this case Was proceeded corjreetly, and the court can sustain its action in the premises. If, on the other hand, there is such differenee. all must admit that that fact should be known. I approve of the action of the court in bringing the matter np, simply with a view to the settlement of se important a question. I shall be prepared to argue the question, before tbe court on the 24th
