A Notable Apology.

Through disinterested party an
incident of Judge Fawcett's judi
cial conduct in the More murder
trials has come to our notice
which we would regard it as crime
not to commit to imperishable ink.
At one stage of the trial Col. J. G..
Howard, of this city, represented
the defence. He had occasion to
make motion, and supported it
in his usual forcible and eloquent
manner, but the Judge decided
against him. Almost immediately
thereafter the Court adjourned and
Judge Fawcett came down from
the bench. Col. Howard, as every
one knows, is on the most intimate
terms with the most distinguished
Judges and citizons of the Pacific
Coast; and, as Judge Fawcett ap-
preached, he addressed him in an
explanatory manner on the motion
which had just been disposed of,
witt no earthly intention Of caus-
int its consideration. Almost
an man likes to have the ground
Of his motions or actions thorough
ly understood. What was Col.
HOward's surprise to see Judge
Fawcett draw himself up haught-
lily, and say:
"Col. Howard, L don't permit at.
torneys to debate with the Court
on motions already decided"
Col. Howard was dumbfounded,
but that mighty brain 10 never al
together without resources. Re-
moving his hat, and making very
low and obsequious bow to the
Judge, Col. Howard said,
"Judgs Fawcett, I very humbly
beg your pardon. Sir, I repeat, L
beg your pardOn.n
Judge f. (slightly confused by
the ColonePs superb and simulated
humility, "Oh, there is no need of
your begging my pardon"
Col. H.-"Judgs Fawcett, l ten
der you an earnest and hearty apol-
ogy.n
Judge F. beginning to feel a lit
tie foolish) "Col. Howard, there IL
no need of an apology"
Col H.-"Judge Fawcett, I knew
there was an apology due from
some quarter for this incident;
and, as 1T did not come from you, I
thought it must be due from me-"
We will wager small coin of
the realm that Judge Fawcett did
not experience maximum Of COM
placency during the rest of that
day.

Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. Il. M Stephens, Judge
Of the County Court Of Los An.
geies:
We, the grand jurors for the Jam
uary term of 1870, beg leave to
make the following report, :o.wit:
We have examined twenty-four
cases, in thirteen of which we have
found true bills; one was referred
back to the Justice of the Peace,
and ten were ignored.
We have inspected the County
Jail. We find it reasonably well
kept, but deficient as to light and
heat.
We also inspected the County
Hospital and find 1t clean and well
kept, but we would recommend the
placing of mating on the floors to
deaden the sound In the halls and
on the stairs, as some OF the more
nervous complain of the noise oc.
casioned by persons walking over
the bare floors.
We would also recommend that
the Justices of the Peace be more
careful as to the evidence in the
cases sent to the Grand Jury and
In the Chinese cases in particular,
as there Is much time expended
and the county Is put to heavy ex.
pense ia cases which have little OF
no foundation.

Foreman.
