the Supreme Court,
Hon. P. W, Meldrim, counsel for Dick
ROsenbroOke, who was recently convicted
in the City Court of violating the Sunday
liquor law, moved for new trial yester-
day. The grounds were purely technical.
One ground was that the case was called
out of its regular order.
The Code declares that "the cases on
the criminal docket shall be called in the
order in which they stand on the docket.
unless the defendant be in jail { or other
wise In the sound discretion OF the court. - J
The defendant was not in Jail when his
case was called, and counsel declared
that there was no occasion for the case
being called ont OF the regular order.
RosenbroOke's case and those Of Sevden
and Monsees will be carried to the su-
preme Court.

Certain OId-Time characteristics.


The notices of these days would diff
fer widely from the notices of ours. In
place of the announcements for Sunday
school, for weekly prayer meeting, ladies'
missionary meeting, ladies' benevolent so
ciety, young peoples meetings, etc, would
be heard requests for prayer for persons
who were sick or in need-requests in some
cases thought to convey hint for charity
and relief temporarily as well as spiritual
/ lv-formal declaration of intention of mar
rage between contracting parties, the read
| ing of vote of church censure, or the
/ humble confession and apology of an err

that he be allowed to 20 to Marlboro to com
mune with a church where the old doc
trines were more faithfully preached. The
sermon which followed | doubt not, was
made no longer and no more spicy with
personalities because of the knowledge
that there were some in the audience, who,
unable to get direct reply to a categorical
question, were anxious that by some doc
trinal statement in public the minister
should commit himself upon the Unitarian
controversy then coming into prominence.
A service held upon winters day would
