Sheriff Judsou states in regard to the article whicb appeared in yesterday'a Courier that he has made 110 new ruling, and that the handling of prisoners is the same that it always has been. It appears that a certain officer in the city arrested a man for disturbing a meeting here in the city, and came the next morning and took the man out of jail, and let him go on a private settlement, without his being brought before a justice. To prevent a repetition of anything of the kind Shtriff Judson then gave orders to his turnkey that no prisoner should be taken out without his (Judson's) orders, and from this has grown thé misunderstanding betvveen the city and the county oftïcers of the law. Mr. Judson says he wants to conduct the affairs of his office right, and in order to do so he must know and u n derstand all that is going on. In which position he is without the least doubt right. The Courier has no fears but that Mr. Judson will make a most excellent official. But still there has always been a feeling'that Ann Arbor was doing an injustice to the county by using the jail in which to confine prisoners arrested by city officers, and now seerns to be a pretty good time to start a new plan. This paper believes that the city should at once proceed to establish a lock-up ui her own, and have all persons arrested under her ordinances confined therein. The city would be ahead by means of this, and the eternal jangling over the county taking care of her prisoners would cease.
