CRIMINAL CouRT.-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge
Milton Whitney, Esq, States Attorney, prose
cutting.
The following occupied yesterday:
On the opening of the Court the Grand jury
were called, and all being present, Judge Stump
proceeded to address them.
He first referred to the institution or origin Of
Grand Juries, for what purposes they were formed,
and to some of their duties.
He said, however, that the States Attorney
would furnish them with all the books relating to
the duties of Grand Jurors, from which they would
be able to learn what it was their special province
to do, better, perhaps, than from any instructions
they could receive from him.
lie then referred to the recent town meeting held
in the city, under the name of the Reform meeting
lie had read the resolutions and proceedings of that
meeting, he said, and certainly approved of the
movement and some of the resolutions; but did not
coincide with the sentiments EXPRESSED bv some of
the speakers The administration of Justice in this
Court had been referred to in the resolutions and
by the speakers, and although he did not shrink
from any responsibility, and was willing to bear
any censure, still he did not intend to allow such
things to change his views of what he considered
his duty. He had always endeavored to discharge
the duties imposed upon him. He did not, he said l.
aspire to the office he now held; it was rendered
him by the Democratic party, he accepted it
and gratifed with the honor conferred
upon him, he had been placed in his present posi-
ton by majority of the people of the city of Bal
tlmore, and without he was satisfied that majority
he would not resign it. Neither would he accent a
denomination under any circumstances There
was more business to be transacted in the Criminal
Court of Baltimore City than in any other Court in
the State, and the Judge of which got the least
salary The Convention who framed the New Con-
stitution had imposed more duties upon this Court
than it could attend to. Besides criminal cases
there was an abundance of civil business Bv look
ing at the docket, it could be seen what amount of
business was before the Court If the Court
would sit from ten in the morning until
seven at ght, the docket would still be full The
Judge then again referred to the Reform movement,
and said that one of the causes of that movement
was the alleged maladmnistration of the business
of this Court which has been and is continually
animadverted upon by the newspapers, and by
people who are always complaining, and know
nothing of what they complain of. If this Court
sentenced man to the penitentiary for three years.
the cry was, that he was not punished enough;
that he should have at least nine years. and if the
sentence passed was for nine years. then the
! first thing the counsel of the convict would do,
would be to get upa petition to the Governor for his
pardon, and the very men who now have signed
for this reform movement would put their names TO
the petition for the pardon of the malefactor He
was sorry to say that he believed there were pro-
