SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST DISTRICT JUpGE.-
The Grand Jury of Humboldt county for the No
vember term. have brought very serious charges
against the District Judge. In their report they
say: We find that the administration of the bnsi-
ness and functions of the District Court, in this
county. has been most lax. expensive, and unSatis-
factory. This we charge has been owing wholly TO
the conduct of the presiding Judge of the Court,
Hon. William r. Turner. Duirng his present term
of Office, We feel confident that be has inflicted up
on the people of the county a large expense. by
not properly and as the law requires, discharging
his official duties. We feel confident that this ex
pense has in the time named. amounted to more
than two thousand dollars, not to mention the loss
to suitors and others attendant upon the Court as
jurors witnesses, etc. We also present that owing
to his habits of intoxication, he is most frequently
unable to preside judge and cite the facts; that
at the last term of said court nearly the entire bu
siness of large docket continued, by consent
till June next nearly nine months.
