CRIMINAL COURT, Judge WyIie.-The June
term OF the criminal court was commenced
yesterday morning, Judge Wylie presiding,
and all the jurors summoned present Messrs
j. L. Parker, j. w. Drane, }. b. Conway, OF
the petit jury, were excused, and the jury dis
charged until ten o'clock to-day.
In charging the Grand Jury, Judge Wylie
July advised them of their duties and pom
slollltles. He called their attention to the fact
tnat they heard but one side of the cases brought
before them. and should therefore, be cautious
in making up their decisions, for it oitentimes
happens that case appears perfectly fair to
the Grand Jury but when both sides are heard
elseW mere the charge amounts to nothing.
Judge w. also said he was anxious to caution
the jurors against one evil which had sprung
up in this District, and that was regarding the
practice of grand Jurors themselves sending
out into the community and collecting infor.
nation with regard TO supposed offences or
crimes-calling in witnesses who they may
suppose may know something in regard to
particular case. The practice was all wrong,
and grand jurors had no right TO do it. If they
had any knowledge as jurors of a nuisance, or
any offence committed W ich would be pun
ishable by law, they could present the case of
their own knowledge, without examining wit
go mo any part Of the District and examine
into the existence of alleged offences; and If
they are satisfied such exist and are punish
able by law, then of their own motion, and
without witnesses, they could present the Of
fence and the party guilty OF it.
The Judge also cautioned the Jurors against
either for or against any one indicted or pre-
scented before them.
He said there had been brought to his notice
certain alleged public nuisances, known as
iftjewelry establishments, and recommended
immediate attention TO the subject.
Judge Wylie concluded the charge by giving
the jurors some general instructions, after
which they were discharged, and the Court
adjourned until this morning.
