Judge Magic then referred the Grand
Jury to the verdict Of the coroner's Jury OF
willful murder in the Shidecker case, and
instructed them that in bringing an in-s
dictment, if sufficient evidence was offered
before them to warrant an Indictment, It
should be on charge of murder generally
leaving the degree to be decided by the
court and petit jury The Grand Jury then
retired, and the usual motions and busi.
ness incident to the opening of court were
attended to. E. a. Quayle, Esq.,was sworn
as clerk of the Grand Jury.
At the commencement Of the afternoon
session the case Of Dennis Mcconnell VS.,
Sylvanus d. Budd, Gershom Busting. Jr.,
and Isaiah Smith. being No. OF the Su-
premc Court list, was taken up. This ac-
ton was brought to recover sum OF money
claimed to be due plaintiff for mining and
raising ore in the Wright mine, near STAN
hope. in 1875. The plaintiff claims TO
have made contract with Mr.. Budd to
mine the ore at the rate of $3.50 per ton.
and that he has not been paid full value
for his services. The defendants, on the
other hand, say that the contract was for
only 81. 40 per ton, that the amount mined
was much less than estimated by plaintiff,
and that he has not only been fully paid
but considerably overpaid. Verdict, no
cause. Mills & Church for plaintiff, and
II: C, Pitney and W. w. Cutler for defen-
dants.
The next case was that Of Joseph Bier
hoff VS.. johnson Brown, for Islander. This
case grew out of transaction at the black
smith shop Of Browns at Parsippany.
Brown did some work for Bierhof, and
the latter, upon settlement of accounts,
deducted from the bill the sum of So or So,
with which amount he claimed having been
overcharged by Brown. BierhoH alleges
that Brown thereupon publicly called him
a swindler and theft.
