On Monday NJ 1t the new term Of th.
additional session Of New Castle County
court commences. The act whereby
this law was passed was drawn up a,
Dover at the last session Of the Legisla
ture. There were no objections to II
and when Senator Sharpley and Repre-
sentative Ware explained fully the
merits of the bill in their respective
bodies all coincided in the opinion that
the demand was au imperative one and
that an additional term Of court for the
dispensation Of the constantly accumu
lating petty cases was an absolute ne.
cessity.
1t is to b. merely court Of General
Sessions Of the peace and Jail delivery.
The court Of Oyer and Terminer nor the
Superior Court can be opened, as the
text of the bill fully shows.
In addition to the fixing Of dates for
the holding Of this Court, the same act
provides for jurors. Those who are
summoned as grand jurors for the semi
yearly terms have to attend those extra
sessions, as do also those in attendance
at the May session IS petit jurors. The
provisions Of the law are simple and in
order that all may understand it We
append 1t.
Be It enacted by the Senate and House Of
General Assembly met: That from and after
the passage OF t,is act, in addition to the
days. and times now appointed by law I, +
the holding Of sad C0url Of 9e d erai Sessions
Of the Peace and J II Delivery shall also COM
mence and be heldin New Ca tie County on
the third Monday in September and the first
Monday In Feb. uary of each and every year
including tho September term now current
Section End. Be 1t further enacted as atore-
said: That the persons selected, drawn
and fummoned to serve as Grand Jurors at
the several Courts as they are now or here
after may be h0lde, i, shall attend and serve
as Grand Jurors at the additional terms OF
Il Q Court Of General Sessions OF the Pea Q
q jail Delivery or atei by this act; that the
persons last serving and In att enhance as
petit jurors upon the May term Of Court, aa
the same are now or hereafter may be held,
shall attend and serve as the petit Jury at the
September terms OF the Court OF General
session OF the Peace and Jail Delivery crea-
ted by this act; and that the persons las serv.
Y and In att ndanee as petit jurors upoa
the November terms OF Court as the same are
now or hereafter may be held shall attend
and serve as apettit Jury at the February terms
OF the Court Of General Sessions of the Peace
and Jail Delivery ere ted by this sct; and II
shall be the duty Of the Court at the May and
November terms. In discharging the said
petit jurors, to discharge them until the first
Of the next succeeding terms of the said Court
Of General Sessions Of the Peace and Jail De-
livery to be held in September or February
as the case may be.
The term beginning on Monday will
probably not last over q week. This
is about the time generally allotted this
portion of court business. The cases
are mostly petty laroencies and easily
and quickly disposed of. Thus far
nothing of any moment has occurred
to occupy the minds of the Court. There
will also be a number Of liquor cases
tried, a few of which were continued
over on the calendar.
