appointment of Grand Jury and DISPOSE
ton of Civil Causes.
Tuesday was the opening day of the
May term of the several Morris County
Courts. Chief Justice Magic presided,
and with him upon the bench was Law
Judge Vreeland.
The first business transacted by the
Court was the appointment OF Edward
P. Byram as Seargent-at-Arms, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the late
Joseph W. Coe.
The Clerk then announced the names
of the gentlemen who had been sum
moned to do duty as the Grand Jury, and
they responded and were sworn in as
follows:
James h. Simpson, foreman; John F. Post,
Ellis G. Myers Louis NJ Noe, George M.
tanning, Elias G. Drake, Robert McEwen,
Charles n. Leonard. Thomas Bright, James
P. Sullivan, James Donnelly, Joseph @. Leek
Christopher w. Miller. George A. Drake
Robert N. Cornish, John Blauvelt, Edward
b. futile, Thomas Heslin, Edward G. Harvey
Frederick w. luck, Joseph Hamley, Thomas
Y. Ward.
Silas L. Armstrong failed to respond
and Frank Kincaid was excused.
John Callahan was appointed
Clerk to the Grand Jury in the stead of
Clerk Muir, whose term had expired.
The Courts charge to the Grand Jury
was very brief as no crime of sufficient
enormity to warrant special instructions
had been committed.

emptorily and the following disposed of !:
