NOTES.
We observe that the walls ofOxford Law
Library have been decorated with the por-
traits OF several prominent members OF
Oxford Bar, during the present term.
There is splendid steel engraving OF
Judge Virgin, fuely framed, for one.
Judge Virgin has long been member OF
this association, and IS a great favorite
with the members, both as Judge and as
4 man. Hon. Enoch Foster OF Bethel, AMI
Maj. ID. T. Hastings of Fryeburg are also
represented by excellent portraits. We
learn that others will also remember the
library, during the term.
Mr. s. r Carter takes great pride in
keeping the Library in good order, and
knows, as a librarian should, just where
every volume Is located. The new book
case contains q set OF small drawers, fitted
up with Yale lock. one of which is intend
ed TO accommodate the papers OF each
member of the bar. 1. is great conyen-
fence u non resident members.
Judge Walker OF BrIdgton aud $. c.
Strout, esq, OF Portland were among the
lawyers present from out OF the County,
last week.
There is considerable talk, about the
village, concerning what was done IN the
Grand Jury Room, while that body WAS Ia
session. II il is mere talk, no harm can
be done; but It should be borne in mind
that every person connected with the
Grand Jury is sworn to absolute secrecy,
and II any person has spoken from knowl-
edge OF what was done, he may ind him.
self boarded In the stone house for an in
definite period People connected with
the Courts are apt to forget the value OF
an oath as they hear the formula so often
repeated, but they should be taught its
value and the penalties attached to per-
jury. II the doings of the Grand Jury are
made public, it would be unsafe for
County Attorney and for witnesses TO ap.
pear before that body. We believe that
most of such talk is the result OF surmise,
BY outside parties, and that it does not
come from any member of the Grand Jury.
The term now promises to continue into
the third week. More business is crowded
into the March and September terms, by
the discoutinuance Of the December term.
There is talk OF having a third term es-
tablished, at some more favorable time of
year.
