JuDGE BALcoM's FIRST CHARGE.-Our recently
elected Judge for this District held Term of the Cir
| cult Court at Delhi, Delaware County, week before
last. His charge to the Grand Jury was able one,
and is highly spoken of by several of the papers in
that county. The charge, among other matters, ad-
yeed TO the decisions on the Prohbitory Law in tn
various Judicial Districts of the State. and to the law
| ar touching imported Liquors in original PACKAGE
! with great cleaness and candor. He said he would
not then express any opinion of hs own to the jury
as to the eonstitutionahty of the law for it not
the proper time for the Court to determine any such
question. That were be then to decide the law con-
sttutonal persons accused of violating 1t could with
| proprety claim that their eases had been aGudged
without argument and without n hearing; and that
if he then should pronounce the law invalid without
hearing the prosecuting counsel on the question, he
would be disTespecfu TO the legislative branch of the
Goverfm. mt, and besides no appeal would lie from an
opinion given in q charge to the Grand Jury. That
al be would then say to the jury was that was not
their duty or within their province to pass upon the
validity or cOnstitutionaly OF the law; that they
must presume il to be- constitutional and binding upon
them, and act accordingly. That II they should md
that the law had been violated and present indct-
ments therefor, then the duty would deyolye upon
the Cont TO decide all questions If any, that shoni
be raised TO the validity or consttutonaty OF the
law.
The grocers and hotel-keeper of Delaware County
havips all rhut up their bars, the Grond Jury happily
had occasion to find any indictments for violations
of the ProhiDirory Law.
