Judge Pearre delivered the usual
charge to the grand jury, calling their
attention to various infractions of law.
He also referred to the practice among
country magistrates, especially those
in this city, of taking recognizances
when not necessary, for the purpose
of accumulating costs. He cited
triling assault and battery case, in
which three persons had been sepa-
rately recognized to answer the
charge at court, and four other par
ties held as witnesses in each case,
making fifteen recognizances in all.
In other cases the sheriff had been
recognized to appear at court. This,
the Court considered absurd, as that
officer is required to be in attendance
on all sessions of the court. The
Court thought it would be advisable,
if the practice was persisted in, to in
dict some of the justices for malteas-
ance in office. The matter had been
referred to on a former occasion and
the Court had noticed a diminutlon
in the number of such cases, but the
practice had been revived and the
evil was not yet eradicated.
Most of the session was consumed
in the calling over of the dockets for
entries in the different cases. On the
appeal docket 4 cases were continued
8 dismissed; 2 settled; 2 postponed
and 40 set for trial.
On the trial docket judgment was
rendered in 4 cases; judgment on
rule given in 26 cases ; judgment by
default in l dismissed, 4 settled, 9 /;
