CRIMINAL COURT-JnnaY Row,

State Us. Charles NJ. Stewart, indicted upon the |
charge. of violating article Sc, section SO of the Coce
agent for foreign insurance COMPANY without a |
Incense from the State. L. Poe, ESQ, as !!
sisting the State; S. Teackle Wallis and John |
stewart, Esqrs., counsel for defendant is !
one OF number of cases instituted by the Grand
Jury, at the suggestion of the State Comptroller, |
tOr violation of the above section, which provides
that any person failing to procure a license from
the State authorities shall be subject to penalty
oil Sooo-one-half to go to the informer, and the
malnder to the State. Other sections provide that
the Comptroller shall publish annually a list of all
persons authorized by license to issue policies
within the State, and shall also give to those who
have failed to do so a notice to procure the same
within thirty days. AT the expiration of that time
it is provided that the Comptroller shall notify the
States Attorney of all failures, it being his duty to
institute suit for the recovery of the penalty i'm
posed. In this case, it was shown that the Comp
troler published the required list on the LIST Feb
1861, since which time the defendant in this case,
together with six Others had failed to obtain their
licenses-hence the above suit The defence set up
was, that it incumbent upon the States Attor-
ney, upon Information from the Comptroller, to
give to each agent, without license, thirty DAYS
notice before the suit could be entered against
them; and that notice not having been issued to
them, they were exonerated from any offence by
the language OF the section. The case was argued
at considerable length and with marked ability by
the counsel, occupying the attention of the Court
until about o'clock, when his Honor announced
that he would hold it under curia. 1t has been
agreed that this case shall govern all similar ones
and the decision will therefore be matter of i'm
portance to insurance agents generally.--Ad-
journed until 10 o'clock to-day.
