The Circuit Court reconvened yester-
day morning at half-past Q o'clock, and
the grand jury soon after retired TO
their room and resumed consideration
of the presentments brought before
them. For considerable time it looked
as though the jury wosld be unable to
get through the business before them,
and would be compelled to adjourn I'M
I'll to-day, but along towards the end OF
the afternoon il was found that by hold
ing short evening session the business
could be concluded. The jury accord
ingly returned to their room at seven
o'clock, and about half-past eight an
nounced that they were ready to report.
There was quite number Of people in
attendance, awaiting the announcement
of the finding of the jury, and they as
Semblcd in the court room OF Part Two,
where the indictments were to be read.
Much of the interest arose out of the
large number of cases brought to the
attention of the jury by the Law and
Order Society, but at the same time
there was general feeling, amounting
to conviction, that the cases would be
very largely ignored. This turned out
TO be the case, as will be seen by the
