IN THE COURTS.
A Number of Gases Mol Prossed-Judge
Sem Resumes His Duties.

The criminal court docket was yesterday
cleared of a number of old cases which
have been carried over for several years.
1t has been almost impossible to bring
them to trial on account of the inability
to find the witnesses, and it was deemed
best to mol PROSE- them in order to facili-
tate the business of the court.
Judge Sem has resumed his duties on the
bench of the second division of the city
court, having entirely recovered from his
recent Illness.
In the first division of the city court the
case of Sarah Weinstein vs.. the Southern
railway company is on trial.
