Packing JarieS-An important exposure
and condigu punishment has been inflicted
upon the deputy sheriff and high constable of
Philadelphia for corrEp:iy selecting jury in
the Freeth murder case. When the subject
was brought to the attention Of the court by
the prosecuting officer, Judge Ludlow, acting
for the court, directed rule to be entered
upon Wm. II. Laird, deputy sheriff to show
cause why he should not be punished for con-
tempt in disObeyjng the orders of the court
by summoning jurors from the courtroom
instead Of 'from the body Of the county," as
specially directed. The rule was made re-
turuaJle on Saturday, and the answer, as well
as the defence made in its favor, were so Ia
mentally weak that Judge Ludlow (after
making every possible concession in the ex-
amination) was obliged to direct the commit
ment Of the deputy sheriff to the county pris-
on for ten days. The High constable, Car.
son, who was equally implicated in the infa
my connected with the case, in his examina
ton 50 clearly and unmistakably convicted
himself that Judge Ludlow, upon his own
view. very properly bound him over, in the
sum Of one thousand dollars, to answer the
charge Of perjury. After the bail had been
entered, Inundated by the visible condemna
ton shown on the face OF every spectator in
the crowded courtroom, the disgraced officer
weLt at once TO the mavor and resigned the
trust which he had so fagrantly abused

More Criminal Court Disclosssres-A
few days ago, in the court of Oyer and Ter
miner, at Philadelphia, it was discovered that
a jury had been pack "a On Tuesday ano-
ther discovery was made that bills of indict
ment against some parties tor forging natu-
ralization papers had been stolen from the
office of the clerk of the Quarter Sessions be-
fore the present clerk came into Office These
facts go to prove that the whole business of
our criminal courts and of the Offices connect
ed with them needs reforming. When juries
can be packed in open court, the seal of the
court be appended fraudulently to naturaliza-
ization papers, the parties who was guilty of
these Offences never brought to trial, and,
finally, the bills of indictment stolen from
the office of the clerk of the court, the reform
cannot be commenced too soon. There is in
these transactions either vast amount of ras-
cality and corruption, or an amazing degree
of culpable carelessness in those employed
about our courts and offices. In either event,
the facts ought to be traced out, so that
proper correction can be applied: d:-PuJtic
