ance at Opening of Morris County
Bar-Judge DweITs Mostly on SUIT
ton Case.

Inc May term OF the MOTIFS county
Court was opened Tuesday morning
by Chief Justice Magic, for the last
time. During twenty years past, he
has opened the court in Morristown,
but now that he has been appointed
to succeed the late Alexander McGill,
as chancellor his duties with the
Morris County Courts cease.
The court room was we'll crowded
when the Grand Jurors were called.
In his charge Justice Magic told the
the jurors that with one exception
there were no special cases. But the
one exception was the Sutton case
Mrs. Sutton is suspected of causing
the death of her husband by admins
tering poison and is at present con-
fined in the Jail. The jury was told
that an original Investigation of the
case should be made. When the Judge
finished his charge, William E. Coils,
foreman of the jury, addressed him :
| have to perform one of the
pleasantest and at the same time one
of the saddest duties of my life. /
am directed by a unanimous vote of
the members of the Grand Jury to
tender to you our congratulation on
your appointment to the Office of
Chancellor and at the same time to
express to you our regret at the sever
ance of your relations with the
Courts of Morris County. For nearly
twenty years you have been the pre-
siding Justice of our court and | speak
not alone for the members of this
Grand Jury but for the members of
every Grand Jury which have sat
under your direction.
We appreciate your impartiality
and your ability as Justice and also
the unvarying courtesy with which
we have been treated. You go to new
duties and new responsibilities. Judg-
ing the future from the past, with the
knowledge of how we'll you have per-
formed your duties here, we know that
you will faithfully fulfill those newer
and higher responsibilities to which
you have been called Go with our
good wishes for your success but go
also with this understanding that
earnestly, deeply and sincerely do we
regret your departure
In reply Justice Magic expressed his
thanks and evidently was deeply eff
fected. He said that as his new posi-
ton would be taken up Immediate
ly. there would be no cases taken up
in the Morris County or Supreme
Court until next Tuesday when an
other Circuit Judge would preside,
probably Judge Fort.
