LEGAL NEWS.

sion as President Judge of the Seventeenth
Judicial District was read BY the Prothon-
otary.
Several motions were heard, the reports
of the Constables were received and ex-
amined, the Grand Jury was called and
sworn, and the balance Of the week in
Court has been occupied in hearing argu-
ments.
The Court instructed the Constables that
il was their duty to make report of such
cross roads in their districts as do not have
finger or direction boards up, and as the
Constables receive no pay for that, or for
trotting over the township looking at the
roads, under the old fee bill; it would be
a great scheme for all the constables to re-
sign and be resppointed or elected; so as
to come under the new feel bill which gives
them fair pay.
The findings Of the Grand Jury up to the
time of our going to press are as follows;

Comparatively few understand why a
person in charge Of an estate il styled an
administrator in one case and an executor
in another, although their duties are pre-
cisely the same, said an old attorney. An
executor il named in the will TO administer
the estate. An executrix is a female. If
there is no will the female who closes the
estate is called the Administrative If the
person named in the will az an executor re-
fuses to serve, the court appoints another
person and be Is styled the administrator
with the will annexed. IF person in
charge Of an estate dies or defaults and is
removed, his successor is called an admin
istrator de bonus non, or an administrator
Of the remaining assets.
