tie instruction and guidance OF the
Grand Jury during their sittings.
We are impressed with the fact that
so much time of the Courts is taken up
with small and frivolous cases. This
might be obviated by the organization
of county court, to which could be
sent many of those cases that take up
the time Of the Court Of General Srs-
slons. The Judge of such Court should
receive salary SO as not to be depen-
dent on the business Of that court for
his pay.
Trial Justices should have power to
examine all witnesses for tie State to
determine as TO their materlailty as
witnesses for the State and bind over
or not as they may deem proper:
We ask that the fee allowed by law
be paid to our clerk, J. :. Reid.
all of which respectfully submitted.

JAS +. IZLAR, Presiding Judge.
2lst March, 1850.
Judge Izlar went home on Friday
and returned on Monday, when the
Common Pleas was opened.
The question Of irregularity in the
preparation of the jury list was raised
By Act Of the last Legislature the
time for holding our Spring court was
changed from February to March and
in the meantime the Jury Commits
sioner overlooked the law which pro-
vides, Section 223G of General Statutes:
"The Board Of Jury Commissioners Of
each county shall, once in every year,
during the month of January, prepare
list'' &C. The list of jurors for this
court, including grand jury, was pre-
pared in February.
Judge Izlar held that that was fatal
irrregularity, and the jury was dis
missed.
1t will require new list to be pre-
pared uuder special order from the
resident Judge of this circuit, Judge
w. II. Wallrce. A new grand jury
will also have to be drawn. Judge
Izlar passed the following order for a
special term in May:
AN EXTRA TERM oRDERED.
The jurors for the present term
having been discharged on account OF
irregularity in the preparation of jury
! list, and the Bar Of the said county
having expressed desire for a special
term for the trial of cases triable by
jury, aud also for the postponement OF
all other cases to such special term.
1t is ordered:
That special term of the Court OF
Common Pleas for the said County OF
Newberry be held at NeWberry G.. H.,
in said County, for the trial of cases
now on Calendars l, , and 3, beginning
on Monday, the nineteenth day oI
May, 1890, at three o'clock in the
afternoon and continuing for two
weeks, if so much time be required.
