JAY GOULD FINED.

He NegIects jury Duty and Next Time
May Be Sent to Jail.
Gold is kingl Twice 1t has purchased a
New York millionaire immunity from one
of the duties OF citizenship, but the court
has warned the offender against third con-
tempt of court. The New York Continent
of the 9TH inst. says:
Jay Gould was fined $3.50 yesterday by
Judge MARITIME in general sessions for ne
glecting to appear and qualify as juror at
the March term, and eighteen other offend
ers were fined 500 each for the same rea-
son. The Judges intend to impress upon
the minds of some men that there are GER
tain duties that citizens owe to their city
and State, and that one of the most impor-
tant Of these is jury duty. Mr.. Gould was
fined 500 last year iu June for the same
offense and the fine was not collected until
December. He has always been given three
or four notices, and in this last case was
summoned repeatedly, but ignored the or
der of the Court and complacently went on
manipulating his railroads. Judge MARITIME
has Imposed the highest fine allowed by
law, and the only way he could have in
creased the punishment would have been
by committing Mr.. Gould to Ludl0w-street
Jail. Mr.. Gould could not be seen yester-
day, but one of his men said that he would
promptly pay the fine and costs upon the
bill being presented although he was not
quite sure as TO what Mr.. Gould would have
done in case a commitment for contempt
had been ordered by Judge MARITIME instead
Of the fine.
In the cases Of the other eighteen delin-
quents it was their first offense, and the
Court was less severe, the fines imposed being
500 each. The funds of the city were thus
increased 5000. a small amount when def
ance OF law and good government is taken
into consideration. In the light of the fact
that men of wealth owe their position to the
increase of population and the prosperity of
the country, it seems strange that they
should openly defy the courts and place the
proper administration OF the law at dis
count. The State, which guarantees the
protection of property, has certain claims
upon its citizens outside of legislative halls,
which are not TO be disregarded, and man
who has accumulated millions of dollars
certainly should be able to devote the time
NECESSARY to nerform lis public duties.
