The Sheriff of this county can be trusted
to act discreetIy. He is sensible of the
"eternal fitness of things For instance, if
there is likely to be complaint made against

of an important character was discovered in a
case that had been heard the jury refused to
have the complaint again brought before
them. If these things are true, is not the whole
affair farce and shame
