GENERAL SESSIONS-PART /,
Before Judge Giderslseva
OPENING OF rBn JULY TERI

OPENING OF THk JULY TERN.
The July Term of the Court opened yesterday.
Edward B. Fellows, President of the Rutgers Insu-
Company, selected TO act foreman OF the
Grand Jury. In charging the Grand Jury His Honor
said that the Court OF General Sessions, or which thoy
had then become members. was ono Of the branches
OF the administration OF justice which never rested.
Neither the heat OF summer, the co OF winter Or the
speedy punishment OF criminals prevented tho CON-
mission OF crime. 1t checked It, however and as q
during the past months. the present term OF
the Court would, as usual, be short one.
No criminal could be brought trial without first be-
ing indicted. and as tho OF all the fcons of tho
county passed through their hands they could that
their dulcs were very important Ho counselied them
to exercise tho utmost discrimination In
the cases which woud come before them, so that per-
sons who may be innocent should be spared the indig
nifty OF beng indicted. They should, in his opinion
pay particular attention 10 what were called the
'smallcr cases." as the more heinous and notorious
were, from the publicity given to tho circum.
stances connected with tncm easier ot Investigation
They should guard against allowing their synpathes
to prejudice their Judgment and do their du!y fear.
then directed their attention 10 the various violations
Of law prescribed by statute and dismissed them TO
their deliberations.

THE HERRIOTT ESTATE.

Judge Van Brunt yesterday rendered an elaborate
opinion the case OF Warren Hsrriott adminstra-
tor. &C.. against John G. Herrott, which tried
before him, some tmo ago. in tho Supreme Court,
Special Term. This action brought aside the
transfer of a large number OF bonds and mortgages
made by Dr. George Hcrrlott, in his lifetime, tho
defendant and also like transfer OF SEQ 900 IN stocks
OF the city OF New York. The action is based upon
the grounds that the transfers were made and exe-
cuted by DR.. George Herriott while he under
the control and influence Of his brother,
Warren Herriot, and were not his own volun-
tary acts. that they were executed without
consideration and while the doctor under dclu.
sion that ha children other than the defendant were
endeavorng TO dispossess him o large portion OF his
property and that tho defendant know that father
believed that the other children trying get pos
session OF hts estate. Judge Van Brunt his opinion,
says that the evidence shows strongly that
the intention OF Mr. Hcrrio to give the preference to
the defendant which s the object OF this action to
set aside. The claim that this GIFT Influenced by
his brother Warren Herrott he deems unsupported by
the evidence, and, alter discussing the evidence at
great length, dismisses the complaint
