The BRooKLYN PARK MuEpgR--Tbe course
Of justice in our local courts is VIGOROUSLY

this instance justice has been swift and sure
Mr.. Oero wac murdered, as our readers will re-
member, on the 22d of November, in the public
park of Brooklyn, and on the 2sth Of January
both his murJerers were convicted OF the
crime. II 10 true that the case against
the accused was very plain one but
many indictments for q similar offence in our
courts in which evidences Of guilt have been
equally clear, have remained for many months
and even yeas, without being acted upon.
Trials have been postponed from term 10 term
