DOVER, Jan 23 The friends Of the
movement for state penitentlary have
taken the initial step in that direction by
placing In the hands Of Representative
Walker notice OF bill to repeal chapter
$40, vol 10, Laws OF Delaware. The act
sought TO be repealed Is the one author
izlng the Levy Court Of New Castle
county to buy . stone quarry and put the
prisoners to work therein. The Levy
Court has already selected Wooddale
quarry and is awaiting the action OF the
General Assembly bill before consum-
mating the purchase, II is not presumed
here that the commissioners had any
idea that repeater would be the first
step

For the benefit OF Magistrates.

amend chapter 90, Revived Cods. The

OF the peace. It provides that where a

and the defendant takes al appeal to the
uppfr court he must settle up the costs
