Several Minor Matters Disposed of Yes

Judge Robertson held court but a

10 o'clock and disposed of some civil
business and adjourned at IL o'clock for
the day.
Mr.. Cooke, counsel for Horton and
Kindred VS.. Stewart and Jamison, trus-
tees, patitioneu the court for an injunc-
ton to stop the sale of certain piece of

A CHANGE NEEDED.
Station-House Records Loosely
Kept.

There is something radically wrong
at the station house. Tho way business
has been conducted there for th , past
twelve months has caused much COM
plant among the citizens and especially
with tho authorities, who depend upon
the records to secure some data about
certain cases.
Articles taken from prisoners have
been carelessly kept for want of system,
and in some instances have been lost.
Tho-e is also jumbo between com
monwealth and city cases.
The way matters are conducted with
reference to the arrest of 4 State pris-
oner is simply deplorable. The war
rant is sworn out before Il justice of the
peace; the prisoner is arrested and in
generated. John Smith, arrested on
warrant" is entered on the police
docket, and that is the only record
made Of the arrest OF course the name
of tho officer appears who mado the ar
rest. Sometimes the warrant is laid
away in drawer, and sometimes tho
officer carries it around in his pocket
until the Justice drops around about the
middle of next week to try the case. II
,
If not, then it is postponed till the war
rant turns up.
This state of affairs has occurred in
many instances, and when the Justice
does try the case he mover makes a
record of it. If he sends tho prisoner
to the grand jury. the warrant is sent
to the Hastings Court. If tho prisoner
is dismissed at the hands of the magis.
