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. . .
