Repor, Of tho ernnd Jury.

To HIS Honor the Judge Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, October Term, 1888;
The present sitting closes our official duties.
We feel constrained, from our sense Of oblRa
tion to express our thanks to our excellent Dis
trict Attorney, for the great aid he has rendered
us in our arduous and RESPONSIBLE duties, who has
shown determination to enforce all laws with
out fear or favor, and to all the officials assoca-
ted with him, for their kind and considerate at
tention; to the County Commissioners, for the
excellent manner they have remOdeled the old
Court House, under the architectural supervis
ion Of Elbridge Boyden, Esq, of this city. The
comfort and convenience of this body have had
their especial attention, for which we thank
them.
Through the politeness of the Hon. J. S. G.
Knowlton, Sheriff of the county, we have twice
visited the county institutions, the Jail and
House of Correction, under the care Of Rufus Car
ter, Esq, and we take great pleasure in express
ing our most unqualified appreciation Of the good
order, nestness, and general arrangements for
the welfare of that unfortunate class of persons
there confined, especially that portion OF it de-
signed for their spiritual benefit We are satisfied
great good is the result from that particular
department of the institution. Our only regret
is, that so many fall under its benign influences,
within the walls of prison. There are at pres
ent l43 inmates lbs males and % females.
We have had before us for consideration,
during the past year, in the aggregate, 227 COM
plants we have found out Of that number l65
bills of indictment, 81 complaints were not
tanned. 1t has been the undivided opinion of
the jury that great care should be exercised that
no indictment should be found, unless there was
a moral certainty that conviction would follow,
a double object would thereby be gained, saw
ing OF expense to the county, as we'll as the
promotion of justice. The complaints have
been as follows:

Hon. Robert Rantoul, father of the late Hon
Robert Rantoul, Jr., who died on Sunday last. in
Gloucester, at the age Of eighty, was, perhaps a
magistrate OF longer standing than any other in
Essex county, and had filled various town and
church offices. He was overseer of the poor for
the town of Beverly for fifty years, and was ad-
mitted to be better acquainted with the laws and
usages relating to paupers than any other man
in the State. 1t was only last week that he re-
signed the clerkship of the First Parish, and he
was i'll enough to be confined to his house only a
few days. Mr.. R was originally federalist, but

TRIAL OF N. N. DOWNING Verdict of Man
slaugbter.-The trial OF Nelson N. Downing,
at Portsmouth. N H., for the murder of Mrs.
Sarah Ann Spinney was brought to close
on Saturday.
The circumstances of this case will be rec
objected. Spinney and his wife were visiting
at Downing's, when the two men fell into a
dispute, followed by fight, in which Down
ing was badly bruised. He followed Spinney
to his house, and shot at him, just as he was
entering the door, the shot taking effect in
his wife who fell dead. Downing was intox-
icated at the time, and as he was generally a
peaceable man, and respected by the commu-
nifty, who thought him abused, the popular
sympathy was much in his favor.
The Court came in at nine o'clock, when
the Judge proceeded to charge the jury, &C.
cupyiDg about two hours. The jury were
out some time. but finally returned with a
verdict of manslaughter. Downing was then
sentenced to one year in the state prison, the
least punishment allowed under the existing
laws Of New Hampshire.
