Tie December Term of this Court was called this morn
ing H. D. Gittlngs' ESQ prosecuting for the State, as.

the city and adjacent counties ''''"
large number OF city police and private citizens
thronged the urtroom probably the largest numhr
ever IN attendance since the removal of the Court from
The Honorable Judge took his seat at 10 O'Clock wien
the August term adjourned sine die without trans
acting any business with the exception motion made
by Mr. Preston in a petty civil case.
After the clerk administered the oath of Office to the
rand jury Judge Price addressed them at considerable
.haYp
to remember the oath they had taken the
they owed to the community the first and main branch
of the Court-without their action the Court had no means
power to act in order to bring offenders of the
justice
He also referred to the late grand inquest for Cecil
county, and paid them handsome compliment for eyin,r
the county thorough overhauling" by way OF present
ing large number OF groggeres as public nuisances
recommending that their license be withheld ..Those
dens," he said, ARE no doubt the of common
thieves and vagabonds, where they daily and nightly
congregate tppe profane and degrading

dusry of the husbandman who, by his toll brought
forth the products Of the earth.'' He hoped the
grand inquest OF this county would diligently look to
similar cases for there is doubt such nusances pre-
vail among You, and it is your duty to look to
can do nothing YOu not when you ndict or present
party trying Them that is for the and petit jury
and should they he found guilty, the court alone will as
sumo the responsibility of punishment
You no doubt are and should be the first and most in
eligent citizens of the county. In selecting Grand
Jury the Sheriff should always select the best and
responsible men, for You in fact the Court As said
before YOU gentlemen hold the power to indct or not
indct offenders Of the law and without your action the
Court do nothing
