Judge Trenchard Sentences Two
Men to the Trenton Peniten-
iary.
TWO IN COUNTY JAIL.
The Prisoners Who Pleaded Guilty
Before the Court Tuesday Morn
ing, We're Given Punishment in
the Afternoon.

Judge Trenchard Tuesday morning
presided at a session of Court, and con-
siderable business was transacted be-
fore the drawing of the petit jurors
for the October term was taken up.
First, the Court listened to several
insanity cases which were disposed
of promptly.
John S. Mitchell. ESQ.,, addressed
the Court in behalf of Charles Green
and Burroughs Eldridge, now serving
a five months sentence for contempt
of court.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that these
young men had served two and half
months, and now an opportunity pre-
sented itself when these men could
obtain employment, the factories just
starting in, Mr.. Mitchell felt that
the punishment had been entirely
sufficient.
Prosecutor Fithian opposed the mo-
tion of Mr.. Mitchell to discharge
these defendants, and felt that the
five months sentence for contempt of
court, such as these men were guilty
of, was little enough.
Again Mr.. Mitchell pleaded for the
accused, and Judge Trenchard said
that he would take the case under ad-
visement, and after giving it careful
consideration would render decision
Some civil matters were disposed of
upon motion of W. H. Bacon, ESQ.

an order for the appointment of Com
missioners to assess benefits in the
city of Bridgeton upon property
where there has been paving.

month from the estate of John Russell
for the board of minor children.
