he is suspicious of his friends, and keeps close

him with five Easter eggs his suspicious led him
to weigh the eggs to find whether he had got full

IReported by A. ". Brlce, ESQ


| A list of special cases were set down for trial
for Monday, April Z. Judge Ellwel, of Blooms
! burg, came down on Monday evening. On Tues
day morning the cases were all continued by
counsel except one, which was tried, and which
took up Tuesday and part Of Wednesday morn+
ing. II IS one of the cases against the county in
which Clark Il. Zimmerman is Plaintiff, ana the
| county is Defendant. Pho Plaintiff in this case
represents a number of other persons who stand
in the same relation. Under an act of Assem-
hly of 18th April, 1867, providing for the APP
pointment of a Marshal of Police in Schuylkill
and Northumberland counties, for the reason
that at that time good deal of disorderly con-
duct prevailed in the coal regions, and the civil
authorities there were inadequate to keep order
and quiet, ,oue Joseph Heiser of schuylkl county
was appointed said Marshal OF Police, and under
him the Plaintiff named and a number of others
were appointed Policemen. The Governor issued
commissions under the authority vested in him
by the same act Of Assembly, and fixed the rate
of salary at S75 Per month. The act provided
that the said salary should be paid out of the
county Treasury. When it came to the paying,
the county Commissioners refused, aud suit wus
brought accordingly. 1t was agreed that the
case or two, ana taken to the Supreme Court
for review. in the case tried yesterday and con-
cluagd this morning by Judge Elwell it was ar
gued by the counsel for the county, Messrs
Zciglcr, Malick and Packer, that the Act is un-
constitutional, principally for the reason that
tho appointment ofthesc policemen was made as
such ror Coal aud Mt Carmel townships when
they should have been made for the entire coun-
". The counsel for the Plaintiff, Mossrs. VOL
yerton ana Kasc, Of course took the opposite
Wow of the case, in which they were sustained
by the charge Of the Judge and the verdict or the
jury. The jury brought i'll a verdict of 500 for
the Plaintiff which was for one months salary
aud interest. In his charge to the jury Judge
Elwel pcntrdly said that the Legislature had
the right to extend protection to any part OF the
| county, as it had to any part Of the Common
wealth, and that the couuty Treasurer could be
held FOR payment. The case, however viii be taken
! to the supreme Court uc&t winter. This matter
/ Involves 80 The county about $1,000.

SHEKrTr RornEuMGL promptly paid the re-
ward OF $50 for the return Of GalloEay and
Wctzcl, after their delivery into his hands, on
Friday morning of last week. It is not jus; that
the Sheriff should bear this expense when it is
well known that he is not responsible us long
as our county prison amounts to nothing more
than a mere s,iye. Ay able bodied man with
ordinary wiJ can make his escape unless he be
ironcd. This fact is patent TO all concerned. The
Grand Jury has several times recommended the
building of u new Jail. and long ago pronounce
cl the present one as urGt for use. All who vi
sit the building pronounce 1t worthless as pri.
SON, and we caurot see the justice Of compelling
the sheriff TO pay the expense mentioned when
prisoners can escape by driving bolts into the
dnaPdatei walls, thus forming steps, or by
adopting the more convenient mode, knocking a
hole through with club. \ new Jail should be
built as speedily as possible, and, in the mean
time, the county should pay the costs accruing
from the arrest and return of escaping prisoners
from the present rickety concern.
