Prosecutor Perry moved tor the dis

: The Grand Jury instructed Prosecutor
Perry to call the attention OF the Court
to the fact that Washington L. Yonng. a
Justice Of the Peace III Atlantic CITY. had
failed to take the recognizances of com
plainants in number of criminal cases,
and that they had failed to appear.
thereby defeating the ends Of justice.
Judge Reed stated that any Justice
who tailed to take the. recognizances of
complainants, commits. a misdemeanor,
and is liape to indictment. He directed
Justice Young to appear on Monday and
show cause why he should not be adj
judged guilty of contempt.
The case particularly mentioned was
that Of the State VS.. William Fleming.
Fleming was accused Of purloining one
OF Edward Drouin's diamond studs.
Justice Young failed to place Drouln
under bail and be did not appear to
prosecute the case. Fleming also failed
to attend, but his bail cannot be forfei-
ted, as no complaint was made against
him.
CIVIL BUSINESS.
Judge Reed charged the jury in the
case Of Mary Williams VS.. John L. Young
soon after Court convened and the
jury rendered Il verdict of 81 900 for the
plnintiff.
In the promissory case of Charles
Muller VS.. Jacob Eiselsttin, a verdict of
$262S5 was found for the plaintiff.
The note was for $3.50
James E. Willetts brought suit against
Charles X. Lippincott, and the jury gave
the plaintiff verdict for $175. The
action was one for eiectment and mesne
profits. The plaintiff leased house to
the defendant and the lease contained a
provision that the defendant should not
sublet it. The latter did sublet, not
withstanding, and the ownerl brought
suit to recover the premises and their
value, after the subletting, on the ground
that the defendant forfeited his right to
the pl emises under the lease by sublet-
ting without permission. The house,
which is situated on New Jersey avenue,
was sublet for two months. Real estate
men will regard the jury's finding as
rather high one.
