Gsvernor-GogsiP.

IN response to an inquiry from the
auditor the district attorney to-day reu'
dered the following opinion:
Hon, lrinl3al Alaril, Auditor, santa Fe =. NJ.
Sir: | have examined the Statutes
sections 55l to 557 inclusive, relative to
the holding of special terms OF court, and
while do not find any express authority
for the summOnng Of grand jury for
any such special term other than that
grand Jury which may have been select
ed for regular term that may have
failed, still am unqualitiedly of the
opinion that when the statute places it
in the discretion OF Judge of the district
count to call a special term OF court in the
interest of justire (sec. SOP, there surely
goes with the tight to hold the special
term the right for the proper machinery
and Il juncts to hold that court, Of which
grand jury is one. Yours truly,
Il. l.. TwTCHELL, Actg. Sol. General.
