the estate of Chauncey Hulburt was
granted.
On motion of Samuel A. Atkinson, in
the matter of the application for the sale
of lands belonging to the estate Of George
W. Hall, deceased, an order to sell the
same to pay debts was granted by the
Court
Judge Gaskill then listened to argument
in the matter of the final account of
Lorenzo D. Woodward, surviving execu-
tor of John G. Lewis, deceased William
Early represented the exceptants, while
Charles K. Chambers appeared for the
accountant. The point at issue was
whether the executor was entitled to full
commission of per cent. on monies in his
hands. The Court decided that Mr..
Woodward was entitled to full commits
sions and the account was accordingly al
lowed
Yesterday the first case brought up for
notice was that of Augustus p Ridgway,
charged with assault and battery upon
Holmes Earl, of chesterfield. Ridgway
retracted his plea of not guilty and en-
tie red one Of non vult contendere, which
was accepted by the court. This being
Mr.. Ridgway's first offence, and the re-
suit being so slight, the Judge suspended
sentence.
Charles McGuiggan and Purnell Guam,
both of Mount Holly, were next called
for trial, but through their counsel, Mi
cajah E. Matlack, they also retracted
their plea of not guilty and entered plea
of non vult contendere, which was accept
ed by the court, and defendants sentence
suspended. The Judge gave them severe
reprimand, however and told them that
if they ever appeared before him again
for fighting he would surely pass sentence.
Henry Miller, colored, who was charg
| ed with stealing chickens from John h.
Mason, of Maple Shade, was tried The
state called John r. Mason, owner of the
fowls, and William Linderman, of Mer-
chantville's police force These gentle
men told such straight story of the his
tory OF Cn0 crlme-Nlr. Alnu0TudH dIIcSt-
ing the man with the chickens in his pos
session, that Notwithstanding the fluent
loquacious talk the defendant gave the
jury of his side of the matter, they
promptly returned verdict of guilty.
Owing to the mans bad reputation in the
past, the Judge sentenced him immediate
ly to two years and six months in state
prison
The case of State VS.. Frank W. Harker,
Richard Sooy and Joseph P. Lemon, tim
Der thieving, was next called. Eckard P.
Budd was retained by Mr. Upton, the
owner of the stolen property, to look after
his interests, and G. K. Chambers J. G.
Hendrickson and Blanchard H. White ap-
peared for the defendants.
c. H. Pitman was first called by the
State. He stated that he was manager of
%, 900 acres of pine land belonging to
George B. Upton, of Boston; that he had
been manager for % years. Of late he
has noticed considerable cutting of trees
on the tract While driving through his
tract on the 10Th of February last he saw
where about fifty pine trees had been cut.

day. The following were granted:

Joseph Schaeffer, Palmyra. ............... lOO
Owing to the failure of the Riverside
delegation of hotel keepers to appear in
person at the opening of Court, Judge
Gaskill announced that hereafter unless
the applicant himself was in Court when
his application was read off, he would lay
the application over for month and the
hotel in the meantime would have to be
closed. The gentlemen from Riverside
were unavoidably detained by the absence
of trolley cars at Burlington, and Judge
Gaskill accordingly granted their licenses
when this was stated to him.
The application of Thomas Fitzpatrick
of Mount Holly for saloon in the pro-
perty lately vacated by James Berry, was
refused by the Court. George M. Hill
man appeared and answered for Mr.. Fitz-
patrick, but the Judge said he was OPP
posed to the granting of new licenses in
Mount Holly and would not do so either
now or at any future time.
An application for license was filed by
James Dudley, of Bordentown, but as a
remonstrance had been lodged against this
license the Judge laid the matter over
until Monday. G. K. Chambers represents
the applicant and Samuel W. Beldon ap-
pears for the remonstrants.
In the matter of the application of John
Fl. Murphy for license at Recklesstown
Judge Gaskill stated that he wished to an
nounce to the public through the news
papers that if there is to be remonstrance
filed against the license of Mr.. Murphy, the
same must be on file by Saturday, June.1st.
He would take Mr.. Murphy's application
up the following Monday and if no re-
monstrance was filed he would grant the
same.
A wholesale license applied for by James
P. Nichols of Mount Holly, was laid over,
the Court stating that he had heard that
Mr.. Nichols had failed in business and.was
only continuing with the expectation of Sc
curing renewal of his license so that hi
could dispose of his business and license
The Judge laid the question over until thu
first Friday in June in order to give hin
, time TO look lnUO the u1dItcI anu StO IL ~ u
as above The Court said that it had nj
desire to take the only wholesale license
from Mount Holly, but it would not con
slider Mr. Nichols application under thes
circumstances. 1t is understood that fou
persons are DESTROYS of securing a whole
sale license in Mount Holly, two out-of
town parties and two Mount Holly men
The Judge further added that If Mr.
Nichols was deprived of license h
: would still grant a wholesale licens
in Mount Holly to one of these parties
a but he preferred Mount Holly man.
n This closed the License Court and Judg
Gaskill then listened to a few common
i motions in the Orphans Court.

Outbreaks of smallpox still continue to
be reported and there is much uncertainty
as to where the next case may come from.
Yet with all this evidence before them and
with the undisputable fact that Yaccina-
ton is the best safeguard against the
loathsome disease there are still many peo-
pie who, through foolish prejudice, refuse
to comply with the request of the Board
of Education to have their children vac
cinated And some, not content with thus
acting with their own children, make a
point of advising others to follow their ex
ample. Knowing that the school year
will soon end, they rest content and ex-
press a belief that the matter will all blow
over before September. There is where
they are building on false hopes The
Board of Education has not been strict in
the enforcement of the law, but it is safe
to say that there will be rigid examina-
ton of every pupil by the medical in
spector when school opens in the fall, and
the statutes will be adhered to. 1t will
be well for all who desire their children
to enter school in the fall to attend to
vaccination during vacation.

Looking over the report of the Auditor
for the past year, attention is drawn to
the item of expenditures of the committee
on court house and grounds. Comparison
with former years shows that there has
been marked reduction in this particular
During the past two years the committee
has kept the expense column down to an
average of $5,724, while in former years
the average was nearly $1,000. While the
committee is entitled to much praise for
this work it must also be remembered that
Sheriff Fenton and Deputy Doughty have
had something to do with this state of
affairs by their economical management

! One class of bills that goes before the
Board of Freeholders creates query. 1t
is that Of physicians who make postmor-
tenn examinations If the coroner orders
the work done the doctor must confine his
charge to the sum of $40, but if the pro-
secutor of the pleas gives the order the
physician may add So to the bill.
Whether the extra So is for the dignity
added to the bill because the order was
issued from the prosecutors office is not
known, but it does seem strange that
there should be difference in the price
| for the same work.
When the Board of Freeholders changed
their rules there was one which might
have been altered with great propriety
and in Justice to all. 1t is that fixing the
salary of the Director OF the Board At
the close of the years labors extra fees
are added to salaries of other officers, but
the presiding officer is compelled to be
satisfied with paltry $25. To be sure he
gets vote of thanks that is quite refresh
ing and that ought to be enough for any
ordinary man. The salary for this office
is ridiculous in proportion to the work
