As applicable TO the trade in the Schuylkill re-

THE JERSEY CITY POLICE MUDDLR-Prcsent
Condition Of Afdirs.-It was reported yester-
day, upon good authority, that the newly ap-
pointed police commissioners OF Jersey CITY had
resolved to organize and appoint a new force of
police, first giving the members of the present
force an opportunity to transfer their services to
them. Should this intention be carried into eff
feet, the business Of the department will, it is
stated, be carried on Independent of the present
board, who are expected to be reduced to sub
mission by the stoppage Of pay. The friends of
the new commissioners declare that Mayor
O'Neill will sign their warrants for the payment
of salaries and expenses. The statements widely
circulated that the police headquarters are in
state of siege, and defended by a force OF police
is wholly untrue.-N L. Star. 12M inst.

A surplus of 428 ,859 men and bows is something
really startling when it is considered that Adam

there are more fatalities among boys than girls,

eeding Section, shah be judged guilty Of assault
in the first degree, and shall be punisked By fne
not exceeding one thousand dollars, and iuprisOn-
ment not more than Eve years"
SEcr. 5. Whoever, being armed With dan
gerous weapon, shall assault another with intent
to commit burglary, robbery, manslaughssr OF
murder, or other crime Of sGch character, shall
be punished by fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars, and Imprisonment at bard labor not more
than ten years."
If an indictment be founded on an assault be-
ing armed with a dangerous weapon, these Vcrus
should be set forth. Tor the Court can not infer
that the instrument alleged to be used IN sho
assault is dangerous weapon with which the
defendant was armed. 4 loaded pistol may or
may not be dangerous weapon according as i
is loaded with ball or blank cartridge. An assault
with stick may be an assault with dangerous
weapon, but If so intended should BE- aFerred' IN
order that the record may show the precise na-
ture Of the offence.
It would be sufficient to allege an assault with
intent to murder, for this makes the statutory
offence COIlVltltf uNb ~ - ts's eeA-~.~A- -
an assault with intent to main and dishgure
unless some of the modes enumerated IN the
Statute be also averred, for otherwise the record
does not show the statutory offence. The words
in the third section cited are not merely illus
trative of a common law offence, but are descriP-
tive, and therefore essential to be aSerred ss
constituents of the statutory offence
As two distinct acts are characterized as an
offence in the fourth section. viz an assault with
intent to murder, and an assault with intent TO
main, &C., each being in itself eolpete offence,
they ought not to be joined in the same count Of
an Indictment. We think this is no more than
is required by the rules of criminal pleading, and
that departure from these rules can not be al
lowed consistently with the constitutional right
Of defendants to be tried only on g good and
sufficient indictment, fully and plainly describing
the offence"
The judgment against the defendant is there
fore reversed, the verdict set aside, and he may
take judgment.
