VIEWS OF COURT OFFICIAL AND DISTRICT
ATTORNEY PHELPS on PIGEON-HOLED IN
DICTMENTS.
A resolution was introduced in the State
Senate on Wednesday last, by Mr. Benedict requesting
the Clerk Of the Court OF Oyer and Terminer OF this
county to furnish to the Senate, within ten days a
statement specifying IN what cases Of felony since Jan
l. 1862 each OF the courts, judgment has been sus-
pended stating the titles OF the cases. the elones for
which the parties were indicted the date when the judg
ment suspended and In each case the name OF the
Judge holding tho where the judgment sus-
pended" A TRIBUNE reporter made inquiries yester-
day, Of Mr.. Sparks, clerk Of the above
named Court concerning the indictments referred
Mr. Sparks replied that It would be difficult to obtain
the desired information, and would require careful ex-
animation OF the records OF the two Courts for the three
years included in the resolution. He thought also, that
such publication would be unjust, because few lndict
ments were pigeon-h0ed without good cause, which
would not appear the record He said that the public
were greatly in error in regard TO the whole matter
they seem to think that judgment was suspended arb
trarly and in q wholesale way. This, his experience
taught him. was not the lie added that the records
Of the District Attorneys Office would contain the
desired information the nature OF each alleged crime,
and the disposition OF the cases Dut they Woud not
Tie reporter then called on DisricAttorney Phelps,
and inquired about the matter contained III the resou
Ion and asked also for information in regard ndct
ments which had never reached the courts MI Phelps
agreed with Mr.. Sparks that the publication OF indct-
ents which had been pgeOn-hOled, without the
which had led to this disposition, might be unjust He
said there were many cases in which an indictment
might properly be allowed 10 wait, vet where
nolle proSoqui should not be entered. For instance
important witnesses might be absent from the
city, and their return be looked LOT at some
future time or indictment might be found
against young for mis- first oense, the punishment
OF which would be his ruin In such case i might be
well to give him chance to redeem himself, and still
leave the indictment hanging him as warning not
to offend again. Undoubtedly he said the power OF
bringing indictments into court at the will OF the prose
cutting officer was which might be greatly abused.
but he thought 1t not abused nearly much as the
public supposed.

Recorder Hackett said that his attention had been called
