LEGAL TECHNICALITIEs.-Att the New Cas-
tie court, last week, a case against James
Walls for assault and battery on Dennis
| Curtin was dismissed, because the name of
! the latter was spelled Dennis Curtis in the
indictment. This may be good law, but if
so it shows the necessity of greater care i'll
the drawing up Of indictments. 1t is to be
presumed that if the crime had been MUIR
der the result would have been the same.
CAPTURED A BURGLAR.--Mrs. John Murphy
of Wilmington, was awakened at about two
o'clock on Thursday morning, 18th inst.
by the breaking of pane Of glass in the
window of her bed room. Tho bed was
under the window, and as she raised hel
head hand was thrust in. She clutched
it and held her grasp, and shouted so tha
her husband was reused to a comprehen
sion of her struggle. He told her to holC
on" The owner of the strange hand, in
futile effort to free himself, ierked Mrs
Murphy's hand through the pane; but sh,
"held on" and drew it back, gashing on
: of her fingers from knuokle to tip. MI
Murphy then grasped the strangers wrist
drew him in, breaking sash and glass, AM
spread him out at full length on the foo
{ and sat down on him. When a polio
t officer took the man to the police station
a he described himself as Robert McMurdy
:. an English sailor, and pretended to b
intoxicated.

for. y thorough examination of their
Office. They expressed grave fears rs
TO their ability to keep the matter OF
the current expenses oTthc county with
in the limits Of the for said
purposes. They give rs their reasons
for their expenditures being likely to
exceed their expectations the very
great increase in the number of crimi-
mails who are being supported in our
county Jail, and the un%prcccdentcs
charges made by many of the Trial
Justices of our county. They report
that the aggregate charges Of this
class of officer against the county
for criminal business done by them will
not fall far short of $500 for the pres
ent fiscal year, this being in addition
to costs recovered from parties who are
able to pay the same. The charges in
favor OF their several constables are
about as much more.
This is burthen that is fast becom-
ing intolcrable to the taxpayers of our
county and calls loudly upon our Leg,
islators for redress. The Grand Jury
would recommend hat legislation be
had at once looking TO a less expensive
mode of bringing to punishment petty
offenders against the laws than u pres
ent Trial Justice system and that some
more efficient mode Of punishment be
instituted than that now in vogue We
are of opinion that nothing would be
more eifectual in the suppression OF pet
ty thefts than the establishment OF the
whipping post, and that for all other
minor offences, where a fine cannot be
collected, that the power to sentence to
hard labor on the public highways as u
punishment he accorded.
We found that most il not all of the
Trial Justices Of the county have been
guilty Of at least a technical violation
of law in not paying over to the County
Treasurer, as they are required by law,
all fines collected by them. We learn
that it is almost the universal practice
with them, instead of paying over these
fines to the Treasurer, to credit their
claims which they hold against the
county with the amount collected. They
thus make themselves preferred credit.
ors and are certainly in violation Of
law.
The roads in many sections are not
in as good condition as they should be
but as the County Commissioners assur-
ed US that all such should be put in
frst-rate order so soon us there was suf-
fcient rain to enable the road hands to
do so, we will not make particular men
ton of them.
Thanking your Honor and the So
%licitor for the very great indulgence
and consideration shown us, w close.
Respectfully submitted,
+. A.. MARS, Foreman.
