weeks, But few criminal cases on the
docket, and not single trial for a
felony. In the case of the State VS..
Jno. W. Morrell, ct al, charged with
obtaining goods under falre pretenses,
the indictment was quashed and the
defendants discharged. The case
against R. NJ. Cox, charged with stab
bling Bostly at the Thomas House, in
Bristol, was continued until the next
term OF the Court, the State not being
ready for trial. The three young men
from Union, charged with stealing
coal from the railroad, were turned
loose, the grand jury having returned
the indictment mot true BILL" It is
but Justice to the majority of the grand
jury to say that but two or three
were in favor of this action. Judge
Hacker had the jury brought before
him and administered to them scath,
ing rebuke for having ignored an
indictment in the face OF the evidence
He told them he did not wish to con
troll them in the discharge of theil
duties, but that they had no right tc
arbitrarily reject an indictment wher
the proof was clear that the partie,
were guilty. The Judge afterwards
talked to the witnesses for the proecu
ton, and found that all he had sale
was fully warranted by the proof
The good citizens of Sullivan are il
sympathy with the Court in this mat

The suit Of ]. I. Masengill against tn
