MONDAY AFTERNOON.
ALI Monday the day was taken up
with the trial of appeal cases. So
little interest to the public is there in
these cases, that it would scarcely be
right to take up the space of this pa
per to attempt to give any particulars.
These cases amount to but very little.
They are fought in some Justices Court,
and the defeated party appeal the
case, and usually the cause lies over
on the list for several terms, and occa-
sionally one is brought to trial.
TUESDAY MORNING.
When the Court House bell rang
this morning, there assembled larger
crowd than has appeared at any day
of the present session. The spectators
were out In full force and there was an
apparent expectant interest upon the
face of everybody. The auditorium
was filled, many not being able to oh.
tain seats. There was cloud of wit
nesses as there are at all times at the
opening of the criminal session.
The criminal business Is somewhat
extensive this term and Court is likely
to be In session fully two weeks.
Judge Hoagland presided, and Lay
Judges Hendee and Ludlam were
present on the bench. The list of con-
stables and petit jurors were called,
and also the names of the gentlemen
serving on the struck jury. These
gentlemen were excused until Thurs
day morning when the conspiracy
case will be called.
Charles Riley, pleaded not guilty to
an indictment of receiving stolen
goods.
The bail of Samuel Mcneil was for
feited, and the cryer so announced 1t.
