CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.

Judge Gildersleeve yesterday opened the August
Term Of the Court of General Sessions. Only eight
teen of the Grand Jurors summoned to serve re-
sponded to their names. In delivering his charge
Judge Gildersleeve called attention the various
violations of law set forth by statute. In relation
to their investigation of the cases coming before
them he said it was necessary to rigidly adhere to-
and base ali their conclusions upon the legal testi-
mony before them and to be led indifference
by the apparent unm portance and trviality OF an
offence urged hastily TO actions by reason
OF the revolving heinous character of alleged
crime. The Grand Jury should never forget they
had sworn to present no one from envy, hatred or
malice, aud to leave no one unpresented through
fear. favor affection hope of reward. All classes
OF offenders deserved that calm, dispassionate and
unbiased consideration that should characterize
every act Of the Grand Jury.

CATTLE IN THE STEERAGE.

Mr.. L. w. Morris, general passenger agent of the
Rotterdam line of steamers, has sent q communica-
ton to the Commissioners OF Emigration In which
he denounces as a blackmailing job the complaint
made by passenger on the steamship w. A. Schol
ten in relation to offensive smells from cattle on
board, and against the general cleanliness of the
sci. He says that only one passenger. Christian
Ankcr. made the complaint, and that 1t Is contra
dicted in many points by all Of his (Ankcr's) wit
nesses and in all points by two other emgrants the
only passengers that could be found about New York
Mr.. Morris claims that Anker the only person
who attempted repeatedly to smoke near the hay,
and that he had to be driven away by some other
passengers. He says that there wero only twenty
hve cows or calves on board, whose stalls regu
lary cleaned before hvo A. NJ, when the complain
ant was yet asleep. and that there was person on
board believed by several passengers to be the
painan) who attempted to incite the immigrants to
make complaint in New York, telling them that
the company would then have To refund the passage
money. lie further states that no complaint was
made during the voyage to either captain, doctor or
OH crs, although these officials visited tho steerage
daily, and that all the passengers praised the food

THE COURTS.
INTERESTING MORTGAGE QUESTION.

ANiLhEollN1 MOkIGASrE QUESTlON.
The Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas
has just decided question of importance to invest
ors on bond and mortgage. The point arose in the
case OF Henry Sidenberg VS.. Catherine Ely and
Others which was brought for the foreclosure OF
by William G. Ely. in 1926 to secure the OF
$4,000 and interest. In 1872 the Excelsior Life In
surance Company took assignment of the mort
gage knowing that there were taxes unpaid upon
the property to the amount Of some $1.640. which
they paid. claiming the right to add the sum
pended to the mortgage debt In 1875 Mr.. Sidcn-
berg took an assignment Of the mortgage and it's
accumuiatons from the Excelsior Company, and
taxes to the amount OF about $500 remaining un-
paid. He paid the same and subsequently brought
this action to foreclose for the original
principal sum of the mortgage. together with
the amount paid for taxes by the Excelsior Com
pany and himself. The property before the accumu
laton OF the taxes paid having been devised for
life to one OF the defendants and the remainder hav
ing been devised to certain others OF the defendants
the remainder men claimed that. the life tenant
was bound to pay the taxes, the mortgage could not
intervene and pay the same and then add the amount
to the mortgage debt charging the estate of the
remainder men with an expenditure the life tenant
should have borne The plaintiff on the other hand,
claimed that the equities between the life tenant and
the remainder men could not limit his right to pay
taxes for the protection OF his mortgage security,
especially as the law provides way by which the
remainder men could have compelled the payment
OF the taxes and SO have prevented their accumua-
tion The Court sustaining the plaintiffs
proposition, has decided that the plain
tiff is entitled to judgment Of foreclosure
for the amount paid for as we'll as for the
original sum secured by the mortgage. Another
interesting point decided that when interest only
is due at the time of the commencement of fore
closure action but the principal falls due before the
trial. decree may be had for princ pal well il
terest and the plaintiff will not be put action
for the principal sum. The importance to the pubic
OF this determination is that 1t gives holder Of
mortgage right to pay which the owner of
the property allows to remain unpaid, and to add the
sum expended TO the sum secured by the mort
gage. Such provision is usually expressly inserted
in mortgages and is known the .'tax clause but
this decision secures such right to a mortgage
whether he has such clause incorporated in his
mortgage not. Mr. William Strauss appeared for
the plaintiff and Messrs. j. w. Howe AID jeremiah
Lodcr tor the defendants.
