Mr.. c. B. Jefferies, who has the contract for
packing the Tustin orange crop for the Tustin

asserting and boxing at the Southern Pacific
depot. The arrangements he has perfected for
grading the fruit are excellent and the pack
ing done thus far has been in the height OF the
art The railroad people have agreed to board
up the sides of the packing department of the
Southern Pacific depot, and the Santa Fe
people have promised the same thing at the
new depot just finished at Also, mile south

The jury in the case OF inquiry into Judge
Freemans conduct of office, which was or
dered by the late grand jury, failed to bring
in verdict and were discharged last night
There were six in favor of ncquittal aud six for
conviction. The jury wrestled with the ques-
ton for several hours and finally agreed to
find the defendant guilty, provided the judge
would consent to reprimand him instead of
ulslHlSSlnB MIN from once, as prOVlueu by the
law. The jury reported to the judge that they
had agreed on the above verdict, but the judge
would not accept it. They were ordered 10 re-
pair to their room and further deliberate on
the question The result has been stated
In the aforementioned case Judge Towner
seems to have thrown bomb into the ranks of
the justices OF the peace by raising the point
as to whether the SIS fee charged by justices in
criminal cases has ever been a legal charge
against the county. The practice of boards of
supervisors has always been to allow this fee,
but Judge Towner asked counsel to address
themselves to the question whether the fee
was not meant by the law to come out of fines,
and in cases where no fines are collected
whether the Justice had any means OF recover
ing his Zee. The question affects every justice
IN the state and involves the examination OF u
very confused body of law, going back to the
been industriously tinkered by succeeding
legislatures.
