Jan, 9. The Supreme Court today gave notice that the court will adjourn for the usual February recess on the 20th of Febuary, and will not re assemble un til the 10th of March. This is an earlier adjournment than has been customary. A .decisidn was rendered by the Su preme Court of the United States to day in the habeas corpus case of the mayor and city council of the city of Lincoln, Neb , who are now in the cus tody of the U. S. marshal there for contempt' of an order of the U. S. Circuit Court. Some weeks since a charge of ; misappropriating money belonging to the city was made against a police judge of Lincoln and the mayor and city council proceeded to try him for the alleged offence. He, pending decision in his case, applied to the U. S. Circuit Court as a court of equity for a restraining order to stop the prdceedings against him on tho part of the mayor and city coun cil. An injunction was granted, but the mayor and council refused to obey it, continued their trial of the accused judge and finally removed the latter and appointed another per son in his place. They were there upon'adjudged guilty of contempt of the order of: tho Federal Court and were fined and committed to the cus tody of the U. S. marshal. They now appeal to this court for release on a ; writ of habeas corpus. This court, in a lone opinion by Justice Gray, holds that the U. S. Circuit sitting as a court of equity ha? no jurisdiction fwhatever over criminal cases or cases involving tne appoint ment or removal of S'.ate and muni cipal Officers. The proceedings of the Federal Court; in Nebraska, therefore, were from tho beginning in the nature of a usurpation of the functions of a court of law, were beyond its juris diction, and were null and void. The detention of the mayor and city coun cil of Lincoln in custody is illegal, and they are entitled to a discharge. The Chief -Justice and Justice Har lan dissented. Korrtg;!! News.
