LARGE NUMBER OF CIVIL CASES ON THE
DOCKET.

day Tuesday,, at Mays Landing, and a
large crowd was present-including most
of the familiar faces within the charmed
circle of the law. 1t looked q little
strange, at first, to see new Judge on
the bench and new Prosecutor to assist
him, but everybody soon gets used to
everything they can't help, and the
swapping of these two high Court
officials will prove no exception. Judge
Endicott is dignified fine-looking man,
and when Prosecutor Abbott moves for
sentence the criminals may rest assured
that they will get justice ladled out to
them in the most gentlemanly man.

The docket is very long one and con-
tains 135 cases in all. OF these thirty
