The term OF the Corporation Court which
closed yesterday has lasted since last Mon.
dsy week, ADD has been the longest term oil
this court ever held. Its labOrs were con-
faed almost entirely 10 criminal eases, and
the number OF yeniremeb, iurymen, and
witnesses were extraordinarily large, and
henee the expense was heavy. The cost oil
the term Is about 500, part OF which Is TO
be paid out OF the State Treasury at Rich.
mond. and part out Of the town treasury Of
Dauyiiie. The expenditure OF 500 In less
than two weeks has very expensive look
TO tax payers, bst II Is wtat II costs TO sup.
