BY Chief Justice Nelson.
Yesterday Judge Nelson rendered his decision
in the matter OF the application TO have the case
OF The People vs.. Theodore Tilton set down for
trial on the sth OF December. The Judge says:-
"As tho defendant is, beyond question entitled to
an early trial, 1t was proper that the application
should be mace on his behalf. But the discretion
vested in the public prosecutor to the order OF
business in his once should not be interiered with
by the Court, except for grave cause. In great
cities the pressure Of business may DC large,
many cases calling for more immediate attention
by reason Of the nature OF the offence charged
cases non-bniiabie, or where there is no ability
to furnish bail-and the District Attorney, how
ever Jealous and faithful in tue discharge Of his
duty, may not be abe to give preference TO some
OF those who might appear to have a Just claim to

have great orce. lie apprehends lhat the decision
