If the many petty cases, such as surety Of
the peace, that come up ut every term of
court were settled, as they should be, before
the justices of the peace, the time occupied
in their hearing before the court could be dc
voted to more important cases and the county
and the parties interested would be saved
much expense. A Judge in II ncighboring
county recently made some very timely re-
marks in regard to the bringing of trivial
prosecutions, which, we think, hit the nail
square on the head. He referred to the fact
that for hours the time Of the court had
been occupied in trying three unimportant
cases, he said: in the first case tried the
costs, S56 90, were imposed, one half on the
plaintiff and one half on the defendant; in
the next case the costs, amounting to $40 g.
were disposed of in similar manner. In
the third case the costs were S4S00 making
in three cases S146S6 of costs imposed on
the prosecutors and defendants The jury
in these cases have found that there was
nothing in any of them calling for conviction
or punishment. III temper and bad conduct

the law. This is the deliberate opinion of
thirty men under oath after attcntivcly
hearing the evidence, the arguments of the
court; and after careful deliberation, we
have no hesitation in saying that in each
case the verdict was exactly right The
court decidedly concuts in each verdict of
the jury. Now, the question that arises in
the administration of justice is-Ought it to
cost the parties this comparatively large sum
of Sl46SG, and the county an additional en-
pense of at least $50, to ascertain that the
matter in litigation is of importance to no.
body and that these are trivial cases? We
think not. The law gives to the committing
magistrate the undoubted right to compare
| these diilercnces-to settle them between the
parties when they first come before him, and
so arrive at the end of the case, which, if
settled then will cost the parties but II tritling
sum. .-H

Christopher Lewis, who years ago worked
in the mills in Danvile, and for some years
acted as superintendent of the Lochiel Roll
ing mill, at Harrisburg has lately patented Il
rolling mill which. if it is successful in
practice, must work revolution in rolling
iron. The mill has reversible rolls and
buggy attachments that work with such
rapidity that the mill is estimated to have Il
capacity of three rails per minute. 1t is also
made to roll girders and plates. One of the
most important features of the mill, it is
claimed, is the amount of labor it saves, re-
quiring only two men and three boys to do
the work which now requires the services of
seventy-sx men. The model was made in
Columbus, Ohio and while it was being re-
moved from PittsDurg to Philadelphia a
number of rolling mill men IN the former
city, hearing that it was intended for doing
away with labor, battered it up so with
sledgc-lammcrs that it took 5000 to make
the necessary repairs.
