\ CIVIL LIST.
The February term of Gloucester county
courts began last Tuesday, Justice CARR.
son and Judge Jessup, presiding.
Under the new rule the petit jurors are
not called on the first day of the term,
because it has been found impossible to
/ proceed with trials on the opening day.
As Gloucester county has not yet
reached the professional jury class, this
is both an economy to the county, the
| juors and to litigants.
The attorneys of our own Bar, and a
number from Camden were present.
The Grand Jury was called and qualified
| by Deputy County Clerk Jos B. Roe, as
| follows:-

Mr. Livermore the court designated Mr..
Synott as Foreman.

charge from the court, to proceed with
their secret inquisition, to be attended by
Officers Garrison and Dopson.
