WORCESTER.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IT. 1921.


The Supreme Court closed its session in this
town, last Saturday, after disposing of all the
business on the docket, and trying all the cans
es in which the parties were ready for trial.
The Court was held by Judge Wilde, after the
completion of the business for the whole Court /:
and we believe the people are still, as they ev-
have been, well satisfied with his close at
tention to business, and his prompt discharge OF
duty.
The gentlemen whose names follow were
admitted as Counsellors Of the Court -
EPhraim NJ Cunningham, John w. Hubbard,
Joseph G. Randall, Daniel Knight, and Jonas
L. Sibley; and, as Attornies, Heman Stebbins
and George Wheaton. y
There was not a single criminal trial during
the whole term. All who were arraigned up
on indictments pleaded guilty. Several we're
sentenced to hard iabour in the House of Cor
rection, viz
John Bryant, for forgery of a promissory
note, for the sum of three dollars and seosatv-
fire cents three days solitary imprisonment,
and confinement; to hard labour for two years.
Wiltiana HanailtOn, for larceny in a DWELL
mg-house-solitary imprisonment, three days
hard labour, two years.
f1lram Reed, convict by his own confession
on three indictments for larceny, and adjudg-
ed "a common and notorious thief ''-solitary
imprisonment, FIVE days-llard labour, three
years.
William Hask1ns, jr.-larceny in dwell

hard labour, two years..

Assembled from. various parts of the
County, and having a common interest
with you in the. result of the approach
ing election for Register of Deeds, we
trust it will not be; deemed assuming in
MS to explain to you the views we have
taken. of the subject.
So far as our information extends, the
greater portion off the community did
not, until Immediately preceding the late
election, anticipate any serious opposi-
tiontothe re-election,of the present Reg
ister.. No complaints were heard Of any
misconduct; andif dissatisfaction existed,
the people generally were not aware Of
it. 1t was not until the eve of the cleo
ton that opposition was manifested
Then, various candidates were proposed
for the sufrages of the people, the cleo
ton of some Of whom was advocated up
on grounds which impeached the quail
, fications or the conduct of the present
incumbent, Sosudden andivigerous were
the efforts thus made-so bold and apt
ful were the insinuations against DR..

the variety of candidates, and under The
excitement Of the moment, that he fail
ed OF receiving n majority of the whole
number of votes. The question is now
about ODE again submitted to the peo-

you, fellow-citizens, calmly and delbe-
rately to examine the subject-to weigh
well the objections to the reelection of

them--to deal fairly by publick SER

lick confidence. If we impeach and re-
move him, letus not do it without cause;
so that we need not hereafter have to
reproach ourselves with having deprived
him of his good name as well as of his
support.
There may be, and, indeed, there are
unquestionably some, in this large COM
munity, who oppose DR.. Fiske, as thew
would any other publck officer, because
they are fond Of excitement, and are
ever restless and DESTROYS of change
Few ms we hope such individuals are.
they are nevertheless sufficiently hume
rous to forbid the expectation that any
considerations which can be urged will
prevent clamorous efforts to deceive the

Trial of Martin.

The trial of Michael Martin came on
yesterday before the Supreme Court for
the County of Middlesex. Present,
Chief Justice Parker, and Justices
Thacber, Putnam, and Jackson The
prisoner was charged with a highway
robbery on the person of Maj. John
Bray, perpetrated ON the Medford turn
pike the 18th of August last. The pros
ecutien was conducted by the Solicitor
General; and the prisoner was very
ably defended by Leonard M. Parker
and Samuel L. Knapp, Esq'rs. After an
absence of about two hours, the jury re-
turned verdict of GUILTY. The
punishment for this crime is death. Sen
tence will probably be pronounced on
the prisoner early in the next week.

Treaty Of Ghcnt-Disagreemcnt of the
Commissioners.
The Commissioners underthe fifth ar
ticle of the Treaty of Ghent, who were
appointed to. settle the northeastern
boundary of the United States, have
been in session in this city for the last
ten days. The arguments of the agents
for the respective governments. were
closed on Saturday last. The. Commits
sioners, we understand, differ in opinion.
1t therefore becomes their duty to make
reports Of their proceedings hitherto. to,
their governments, who will then, in
Puruance Of the provisions Of the Trea-
ty, agree upon some friendly sovereign.
as al umpire. The most important
point upon which they differ, is in rela-
ton to the position Of the nerth-west angle
of Nova-Scotia, or i'm in other words the
northeast angle of Maine. The terri
tory in dispute contains about five mil
lions Of acres of land, a part Of which is
said to be. good.
The reports of the astronomers and
surveyors, and the arguments of the
agents, are said to be, immensely voIum-
nous, and to bear testimony to their in
dustry, and we doubt not to their talents.
