' . . )TlJ! held by Jutlge Prtt at Jlillslwro in the fall of 1S51, two' matters of Jnterest cccurred, which were .-finally disposed of in the Supreme Court; which are not to be found In our Supreme Ctmrt reports.' in certain cases that came on for hearing . at that time Judge Pratt had some Interest, and in order to provide n imuartliT tribunal t for the trial of such cases, he called Judge Columbia Lancaster, who was present, to preside at these trials, and Judge Lancaster passed on 'the questions of law and fact, while Judjre Pratt re mained on hand to see jthat the pro-" cccdings of the court were conducted w it h. proper decorum arid dignity, and p he expressed it, 'Judge Lancaster acted as Amecus Cutea ot his court.' To this proceeding exception was taken by Col. V W. Chapman, whej appeared as counsel In some of ; these J cases, and the question of the' power of a Judge to appoint another to do' judicial business in ltis stead was duly taken to the Supreme Court, . and It was. then held , that Judicial functions cannot be delegated, .but that the Judges must slt n Judgment in their own proper persons., , , i ; "Another matter of exciting. Interest occurred at thU term of the court. t-.oi. A-napman, wno ror some reason did not think he was in personal favor with the court," moved for a change of venue In one of the cases In which he was counsel, and supported his motion by his own affidavit. In which he al leged the prejudices of the. judge and indulged in ,aome statements . that Judge Pratt thought reflected on the court. To this affidavit Judge Pratt took offense And Immediately ordered Chapman to appear on the same day to show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of contempt. ; Col. Chapman appeared at the appointed. hour, and maintained that he had the right and that it was his duty to, file the ainavit to properly protect th.e Inter estsof his clients.; But Judge Pratt, after hearing; all that Chapman had to offer In defense of his affidavit, de livered quite a long address, on the duties of the court, and the imiortanc of. maintaining the good order and dignity of our judicial tribunals, taking social care r to say : that; 'while he could over-look and pass ; without no tice any disrespect to himself person ally, he could not suffer'disrespect to th court. " That there was a wide dls tinctlon between th court and the pfrson of the court, that he did not ct'pslTTer the offensive language of the affidavit as addressed to' the person of the court, but to the Court, the peoples tribunal of Justice, the highest regard and 'dignity of. which must be main tained, and. accordingly found Chap man guilty of contempt,' and adjudged him to pay a fine of twenty dollars and ba Imprisoned : In the county Jail ','for the-term of twenty days. Up n thin stage of the proceeding nil things had been conducted with preoer solemnity and dlgnitVt Trn the umusing and .comical parts began. Col. Chapman, as he had shown by his affidavit, had no especial' regard for either the court or the person; f the co;rt, end disre garding L the1 contempt proceedings agilnst him. Cft the court in disgust, and procuring his horse rode off to his home in Portland. j ' JutlK Pratt was. not of the kind of disposition to let the escape of Cor. Chapman pass unnoticed s and puffer the Judgmetit of his court to be' disre garded and Us dignity lowered. Con sequently a. warrant .was duly issued for the capture of the colonel ant his return to Zlillsboro to the county jail, ot which there, was none, so that) Im prisonment -simply I meant boarding with the ' sheriff. , Armed with (this warrant; William Bennett; " then 1 the sheriff of - Washingfttft ? county, pro ceeded to this city, then a small shaggy village. In the iliiud and stump, j As this -occurred before the , time oS bug gies or patrol wagons, the sheriff took along with him an extra horse, prop erly. cquipbM with, riding gear, as a vehicle on which to transport. his pris oner back tTJtIlllsboro. After arriving! here the sheriff proceeded to execute his warrant The colonel protested.! and refused to mount the extra horse. and return with the sheriff, and order to execute his warrant the sher iff had to summon a posse comitatus. and by this aid he captured his priso ner and after a hard contest finally pot him on the horse, " but' In ths by which seine ' of them greatly creased their worldly ijjoaaessions. j Soon after the adjournment of this i session of the Legislature the late Jenej Applegate, hearing of the passage of law and knowing of some swamp land he desired to secure. ' wrote to his old friend General Nesmlth to try and se cure the lands Xor him. Nesmlth i ex amined into; the matter and found that the lands wanted by Applegate had al ready feces .Cied ca &fore others knew of the passage of the law. So Nesmlth wrote to Applegate that the members of the Legislature and their - close friends "had already filed on the lands whlcb. he wanted, and Indeed on all the lakes, except the lake that burned j with fire and brimstone, and that he! thought they would.; finally get. that; lake without filing on It. . .
