action, however viii be Ia the way Of
petition, which Is now being drafted and
will be circulated this week to be pre-
senred at the next meeting Of the court.
Fer may years, or ever since the re-
NOV Of the county seat from this CITY
TO Wilmington, the brown-stone build.
| ing on Market street has been a rep ogch
on the community. But never has it
been such reprosch as since the inaugu
ration Of the present Municipal Court
1 system in Wilmington, through which
half dozen buns and worthless charac-
tors are sent here every day, chained to-
/ gether In the courts in Wilmington
| the threats that are made and the pleas
that are put forth are ito send YOU TO
New Castle or would you send him to
New Castle"
In addition to this the inhabitants of
New Castle are made to suffer by the In
| stitutioI's existence In their midst in
stead Of being In any way pro6ted by IT,
| Frequently gang of twenty worthless
| characters are turned into the streets
| pennlloss, and II the weather Is bad they
remain In town for several days begging
from door to door, or until they can ges
money enough TO take them somewhere
to continue their lives Of debauchery and
vagrancy.
| IL is because OF this that the New
| Castle people are now up In arms. and be-
lieving that Wilmington is large enough
TO take care Of her own outcasts and dis
solute characters, and that the big ex-
penss of transporting all these prisoners
might be saved by the erection of a
prison or workhouss there, they will fight
any movement TO enlarge the jail.
