THE Court of Common Pleas is still
in session. There have been as yet
but two jury trials, in both of which
the juries disagreed and were dis
charged. The first was that of Mary
Ann Averal VS. Theodore Burnett to
recover damages for the sale of liquor
to her husband, brought under the
provisions of the Adair law. This
was the second trial of the case. In
the first trial the plaintiff recovered a
verdict for the sum of $500. The
second case was that of r. A. Russell
VS. the Village of Kent, to recover
damages for flooding the plaintiffs
premises and iniuring property. The
former jury, like the one at this term,
disagreed.
The Grand Jury finished the busi-
ness before them and were discharged
on Friday. They returned twenty
five indictments as follows: Two
bills for assault and battery; one for
gambling one for keeping a gaming
apparatus, two bills against Charles
Frederick Brown, one of them for
burglary and one for horse stealing, a
bill against William Marvin for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
seventeen indictments for violations
of the liquor law, and one Indictment
