the county from January l to December
10, 1888, for reporters fees in the Courts.
It seems that in referring to the subject Of
fees IF reporters, the jury included in the
same table and paragraph all theother amounts
allowed by the Superior Courts during that
period-.he fees Of interpreters and those Of
witnesses in criminal cases. The official re-
porter desires it stated that the amounts
stated for reporters fees include what has
been paid for services as fetal reporter in
criminal cases in the Superior Court, and also
all that has been paid to all reporters for
o. 5icas on preliminary examinations. The
following note from William Johnston, the
Foreman Of the Graud Jury, explains the
item in TIE report "In the published re-
port of the Grand Jury in relation to
the fees of the official reporter of the
Superior Court, it might appear to some
that the total fees paid by the county
for that service for the period named
was Sc. 1913 70. The cost for interpreting,
and the last four items, which represent fees
paid to witnesses in criminal cases, are not
connected IN any way with reporting ex-
peuses, The total reporting expenses Of the
county for the time mentioned are represented
by the first Two items, which aggregate 81,
997 g."
Or INTEREST TO THEM.-The members of
the late Sacramento Grand Jury are
watching with interest the proceedings in the
Sharon Hill. Nelson case at San Francisco,
in connection with which there is an effort
being made to compel the Grand Jurors to
divulge certain matters concerning their
action in the jury-room, and which the law,
they claim, allows them to keep secret That
case is now before the Supreme Court on
habeas corpus, the San Francisco jury hav-
ing been adjudged guilty OF contempt OF
Court 10 refusing to answer in the Court be-
low. The case is interesting to Sacrament
taus because Of their having been summoned
to appear in the Superior Court next Mon
dav, when the Rider case comes up, to an
swer certain questions relative to whether
sufficient number of jurOr3 actually voted IN
the affirmative as to indicting Rider, and
also Whistler a number Of jurors were not
pIejudiced against the defendant because Of
their having acted in the case before during
the same session Of the jury, the indictments
then found having been invalid. and the
Court instructiug the jury to act in the prem
ises again.

the ground that the prosecution had not
made out their case. This the Court did,
but at the same time advised the Jury that
they were not bound TO do 50. The jury re-
tired, and after an absence of about an hour
returned into Court and reported that they
