the only grand juror who had not been in

At the hearing in the case OF Mrs. Nancy
| Stevens, before Justice W. G. White in
Middlesex on Wednesday, j. G. Wing rails
| cd the question OF the right OF jurisdiction
of the justice in issuing the warrant and
hearing the case. Mr.. White is postmaster
at Middlesex and the constitution of the
State provides that a person in the service
| OF the United States cannot at the same
| time hold a judicial position in the State
| For this reason the case against Mrs. Stew
vens was mol pressed. She was Immediate
| ly re.arrested on two complaints and war;
rants were issued by Justice Myron Miles
charging her with assault upon one Penn
| broke and one Jenkins with dangerous
weapon. At the hearing on these charges
before Justice Miles, the court ordered that
Mrs. Stevens be bound over in the sum of
5000 in each case to await the action OF the
grand jury in September. In default of
bail, Mrs. Stevens was placed in Jail.

innocent, except one, in the fountain basin.
