The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-03-26

there had been sent from his office to this Court
five cases. three of which had to be sietted on ac-
count OF the States witnesses not being recognized
to appears another had to be dismissed because the
papers had been incorrectly made out; and another
had to be passed and the recognizance of the prose-
cutor forfeited. Some of these cases were of the
most trifiing character, and if the Justice would
use some discretion in these matters-let parties
who were brought before him have time to cool
and then calmly investigate the cases. he would
lind that very few persons would desire to be
brought before the Court. He hoped the Justice
would hereafter be more discreet and not shift the
responsibility from his own shoulders and place it
upon the Courts.
The call of forfetures of last SATURDAYS cases
was then proceeded with. All the forfeitures with
the exception of three or four were returned by
the Sheriff as satisfied.
The forfeiture of the recognizance of John
Young, bondsman for Samuel Brooks, charged
with an assault upon officer Harrigan, was not re-
turned satisfied.
Mr.. Alexander appeared in this case and de-
sired the Court to strike the forfeiture out.
The Court refused, and the forfeiture was con-
tinued.
