Recorder Braker has at last found a test case on which to determine the question whether or not justices of the peace have jurisdiction in disorderly cases in the city limits. Yesterday af-ternoon he engaged Lawyer Walter Blackwood to bring before Justice Garrison, on a writ of habeas corpus, a colored woman named Annie W.

Chase, who had been committed to the county jail for fifteen days by Justice J. B. Chester. Lawyer Blackwood moved for the woman's release ou the ground that she waa illegally detained. In his ar gument Mr.

Blackwood quoted from a decision by Justice Reed in a similar case sustaining his view that in cities where the charter provided distinct methods and officers lor adjudicating ilisorderlyjcases justices had uo jurisdiction under a eurjlement to the disorderly act passed in 1888. The charter of Camden confers jurisdiction upon the mayor, recorder and aldermen. Judge Garrison concurred in the decision quoted by Mr. Blackwood, and ordered the prisoner released. Recorder Braker will now assert his right to exclusive jurisdiction in disorderly cases.

The Plucky Irish Krtitor Tells the Parnell I'oiiimlssiou A boat 14 is Country's Why "United Ireland" waa Suppressed, London, May 22.

William O'Brien testified yesterday before the Parnell commission. Owing to Mr. O'Brien's weak condition, the result of his long imprisonment, he was allowed to remain seated. He described the wretched condition of the people of Tipperary and other counties prior to the formation of the National league. The poor tenants were in debt up their necks, and had absolutely no redress against brutal and oppressive landlords.

The league, he said, prevented a wholesale famine and a fearful war in the west of Ireland in 1870. Mr. O'Brien said that he ully approved the practice of boycotting and delared that it had had the effect of preventing crime. The condition of affairs in Mayo when Mr. Davitt formed the there was appalling.

Wholesale famine and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. Farmers sold everything at a "dead loss. The landlords did nothing to alievlate the distress. They denied that any distress existed. Mr.

Beid, one of the counsel for the Parnellites, read an article from United Ireland denouncing the Phoenix Park murderers aud asserting that the assassins, if would be more likely to be lynched in Dubliu than in London. Mr. O'Brien said hat the anger expressed in the article waa undoubtedly genuine. The view of the nationalists was that the government should pursue a policy of conciliation and thus obtain the people's sympathies with the law. But the members of the government lost their heads and passed a strong coercion measure, under which the country had been terribly disturbed for three years.

The government in 1882 suppressed United Ireland because witness charged the government in that paper with getting up orime, which charge he waa perfectly prepared to prove. Mr. O'Brien attempted to enter Into the details of the alleged outrages Instigated by the government, but Attorney General 'Webster objected, and his objection was sustained by the court. The commission then adjourned. AX VN DESIRABLE IMMIGRANT.

Miss Weber is a German girl of abou 18 years. She claims that Stoy seduced her after promising to marry her.

In October, 1887, she obtained employment in Anderson's canning factory, of which Stoy was the foreman. He began paying her marked attention from the first day she went to work, and his partiality for her society caused considerable comment. In November, Mr. Stoy invited her to take a drive, and it was on this occasion, it is claimed, that Stoy's overtures were ineffectually resisted. It is claimed by the plaintiff that ou November 5 Stoy asked Mrs.

Weber for her daughter's hand, and consent to the union was given, but marriage never place. EVIDENCE THIS MORNING. When the case was resumed took this morning Miss Weber was put on the stand and was subjected to a searching examination by Lawyer II. S. Scovel, counsel for the defendant.

She denied having made immodest exposure of her limbs, and said that she never drank beer and became intoxicated at Gloucester. She denied that she ever was indecently boisterous while living at 319 Cedar street. The question as to whether Miss Weber bad been criminally intimate with a Mr. Selar, in the cellar of a house at Tenth and Poplar streets, was objected to by counsel for the prosecution, on the ground that the witness was not bound to incriminate herself. The objection was afterward withdrawn and the question was answered in the negative by the witness.

vvj Miss Weber was then questioned by Jonas 8. Miller, her counsel, who brought out the fact that prior to Oc tober, 1887, she had not received company, and it was about that time that Stoy began his attentions. Miss Weber denied that she had testified before the Grand Jury that Stoy had kept her. Emma Weber was then called be tLe prosecution. She testified that during the drive in November she was in the carriage with Miss Weber and Stoy.

The latter kissed the plaintiff and attempted improprieties during the trip. Stoy, the witness testified, said to her that he was going to marry Fannie and she would have a brother-in-law. On the last night the witness saw Stoy te was at her house playing cards with herself and family. She saw Stoy frequently talking to her sister in the canning factory. He was apparently making love to her, but she could noi hear what was said.

The wedding dress was to be bought from a Federal Street store. Stoy asked for her sisters hand, from her mother, in the presence of the witness. Mrs. Weber then took the stand; she could not speak English and gave hei testimony through an interpreter. She swore that on CK-tober 15, Stoy asked lor her daughter's hand and she gave her consent and said she would see what kind of a mn he was.

lie asked her. consent to the marriage several times. One night when Stoy was at the house he staid until 12" o'clock, when all but Fannie went to bed. Stoy and Fannie were in the parlor. As the family retired Stoy said "Goodnight mom', good-night tOTE AND SWEET POTATOES.

When cross-examined Mrs. Weber said that the first time Stoy asked for Fannie was in the sweet potato room of the canning factory. He asked if he could keep company with Fannie and marry her. A number of persons heard what passed at the time. After a half hour recess Mr.

Weber, the father of Fannie, was next ined; he testified that on November 12 Stoy proposed for his daughter. DEFENCE, Walter Scott Stoy, the defendant, was next called. lie swore that h- never was married. He knew all the members -of the Weber family rwho were in court.
