of causes Given In Full-NOthin9
Special in Criminal Matters.
The October term of the Morris
County Courts was convened on Tues
day morning with Justice Abram @.
Garretson and Judge John B. Vree-
land presiding.
Sheriff Charles A. Baker then called
the Grand Jurors to serve for the
present term.
1t may be remarked in passing that
the personnel of Morris County Grand
Juries has been considerably raised
during the lncumbency of Sheriff
Baker and any member selected by him
should consider it an honor to serve
his county in this capacity.
In his charge to the jurors, Justice
Garretson remarked that there was
nothing special in criminal matters
to call their attention, but he
wished them to observe that it was
the duty of the Grand Jury to inspect
the public institutions supported by
the county-the Jail and almshouse,
and he read the statutes relating to
their duties and offices with respect
thereto; not because of any complaint
to him, but simply as part of their
work. He made point of the separa-
tion of juvenile offenders at the Jail
from older and more hardened crimi-
mails, and requested that they see if
this could be done, in case the matter
was not already attended to. No one
considers that this would necessarily
mean new Jail; the old one might be
so arranged as to conform to the law.
