THE JUDICIAL BUDGET,

port the "Globe" Indictments-Some
Questions Asked-They Continue Their
Deliberations-special Term Day.
The district court opened yesterday at 10
O'Clock A. NJ, Judge Brill on the bench.
The first order of business was to receive
a report from the grand jury of indictments
found. This desire of the jury had been
signifed to the court, and their report had
been anticipated for the public by the G1oBF.
However, the grand jury came in and con-
frmed the GLOBES reports of their proceed
ings by returning the following indictments:
Against Lawrence Fox and Charles A.
Squires for the larceny of three pairs of
boots, valued at 500, from John Nolan's shop
on Wabashaw street, during the night of the
31st of March.
Next true bill was returned against Sam
uel Bean, the colored man who stole watch
from Gilbert J. Rice. at the Metropolitan
hotel LIST of August, 1878. Beams proclivi
ties to steal were only discovered few
months ago, when this watch was found in
his possession.
Charles Pratt, for stealing Andrew Lam
berg's clothes off the Aunt Betsey June 1st,
| 1879, had the legal papers put up against
him.
AS heretofore stated in the GLOBE, the
Jury found no indictments against Hazen NJ.
Brown, the April fool highwayman; Wake
field L. Marshall, removing barn off mort
gagged lot; Joseph Brown, selling diseased
meat: Elizabeth Ross, abortionist, and Eta
Elmer, charged with attempting an abortion
on Mrs. Hattie Eaton.
In this last case the county attorney re-
ported that he had gotten hold of some addi-
tional information. and thereupon the papers
were returned to the grand jury for further
| consideration.
Mr.. w. L. Banning, foreman of the grand
jury, asked the court for advice regarding
| their proceedings. He wished to know
members of the jury less in number than
the statutory quorum. Further, whether an
Indictment could be found, when less than
16 members were present. These questions
were asked because one of the jury was sick,
there were only II on the jury any way, and
furthermore the jury had excused Horace
Thompson.
The court believed the Jury had no right
to excuse one of it's members. In the event
of the sickness of any member reducing the
jury below the legal minimum number, they
should report to the court, and he'd devise a
way to have them proceed with business.
The foreman having informed the court
that the jury had further business before it,
the Jury was excused from further attend
ance on the court. They went back to the
old court house, and what they did will be
found duly recorded below.
The court then took up the case entitled
Philip Caron vs.. John Larkin. On motion
the case was placed on the May term calen-
dar and the appeal dismissed.
Adjourned dntil 10 o'clock A. NJ Monday.
