The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1879-05-23
Harrison County Circuit Court.

Monday, May 10, 1879, the regu
lar spring term of the circuit cour
for the county of Harrison was be
gun and held at Mississippi City
Judge James S. Hand was prompt
ly on hand. Mr.. Thomas s. Ford
the clever gentleman and able
prosecutor for the State, was al
his post; Mr.. Fred IS. Hewes.
clerk DR.. A. x. Northrop, sheriff
All these officers discharged their
respective duties with promptness
and fidelity.
Mr.. Fred Jordy, of Pass Chris,
tian, was appointed foreman of the
grand jury. ..y..l...
Judge Hamm delivered a most
excellent charge to the grand jury
in a very plain, pointed manner.
Monday was consumed in organ
izing the juries and sounding the
dockets. 1t seems the lawyers are
never ready for the trial of their
cases on the first day of the term.
They have to see their clients after
they reach the courthouse, and
sometime the fee has to be ar
ranged. This is expensive to the
taxpayers Of the county, still this
is the case every term Many of
the cases + placed at the heel of
the docket, and often cases r
disposed of so rapidly that justice
is not melted out to all alike. There
should be a stop put to this loose
practice. +.W.iH
