The Grand Jury in Session.

The Grand Jury In Session.
|
The circuit court was in session yes
terday and Judge Mcbride disposed of
a number of old musty cases that have
been carried over from term to term
for several years. The case of Welch
VS.. the o. r. and N, was the first
to be called, and when Attorney Thorn
son stated that the plaintiff was not
ready for trial, Judge Mcbride smiling
ly laid it aside for further action. The
case has outlived several judges, and
will probably continue to be the first
on the docket for SINE generations to
come.
Down stairs In the county judges Of
fee the grand jury was in session, and
from all appearances they will not have
a very busy session this term. OF the
1877 cases on the circuit court docket,
less than dozen of them, it is thought,
will demand jury trial. Clerk Dunbar
and Sheriff Hare now have their hands
full and for the next few days their
deputies will look after the regular
run of business. M. F. Hardesty and
]. C. Clinton were appointed bailiffs to
serve during the present term Of court.
