TUESDAY, Nov, 26th.
Court reassemblcd this A. NJ. at 81
o'clock, pursuant to Adjournment. The first
business was the calling of the Grand Jury,
to whom his Honor, Judge Tuttle, deliver
ed an impressive charge, when they were
conducted-to their ROOM accompanied by
John Al. Stnh, Esq., the efficient Prosecu-
ting Attorney.
The Grand Jury has q large batch of
business to dispose Of this term, and will
be called upon to find indictments against
a large number of suspected Individuals
charged with various crimes. 1t is to be
hoped that they viii not fail to pronounce
against the County's shame-the Jail-in
a mAnner which shall carry conviction to
the minds Of all those who shall be called
upon to vote upon the question of q new
Jail, when this matter again comes up for
settlement, for no longer ago than last
week the large flock of Call birds, that
now make their home in that filthy nest,
well nigh effected their escape, and it was
not owing to the inherent strength of the
walls of the prison, that they were
defeated in their attempt, but rather be-
cause of the presence Of mind and rare
courage of the Jailor's wife.
After the usual morning motions were
of, Judge Glidden was again call
ed to the Bench, and the case on trial,
Duff vs. Elliot wss proceeded with. This
cause occupied the entire day, and was
submitted to the jury, after a Gear and
charge from Judge Gliddsn, at 81
P. NJ, at which time the Court
adjourned. ,..1
