Novel Point Raised

A noyel point was raised in court, on
Friday, when the application of Theodore
C. Wills to keep a hotel at Chatsworth
was presented. Ex-Prosecutor Budd
represented the applicant, and Prosecutor
Atkinson appeared for the remonstrants.
Mr.. Atkinson said he had filed a de-
murrer to the application on the ground
of lack of Jurisdiction. He held that the
application was not in legal shape. The
law reads: THAT no person shall be H.
censed to keep an inn and tavern but such
as shall be recommended by at least twelve
reputable freeholders of the city or town
ship where said inn and tavern is to be
kept"
Mr.. Budd contended the law did not in
sist that the freeholders must live in the
township where the inn is to be kept. If
they owned property in that locality and
paid taxes for it in the township they were
perfectly qualified to sign applications.
Judge Gaskill said this question had
never been passed upon in this county at
least He would not feel like forcing a
license upon community that could not
produce twelve people sufficiently inter
ested to sign an application, provided the
community was large enough to warrant
such action. In other words, if Mount
Holly applicant could not secure dozen
signatures the court would not be justi-
fed in taking notice of the names of out
siders even though they owned property
in the town. The judge was asked to fix
date for the hearing of the case. With
the ruling of higher court in mind that
a case must be started in order to get a
legal adjournment he decided that at
least one witness must be heard.
John Ritzendollar was called. He is
the collector of Woodland township. He
had the tax duplicate with him and said
he knew the names attached to the appli-
cation. All were owners of real estate in
the township.
Mr. Atkinson cross-examined Ritzen-
dollar and asked about each name. The
facts elected were Fred Adams lives
in the township; j. w. Buzby owns pro-
perty five miles from the proposed hotel,
and lives in Bridgeton; A. A. Adams
keeps hotel at Woodmansie, five miles
away; Jonathan Godfrey owns property
in the township, and claims his residence
at Chatsworth, but is away most of the
J time and is in the South just now; Zadoc
Cramer lives six miles away. but owns two
acres of land in the place; Joseph Ritzen-
idollar also lives six miles distant; N. L..

for is term Of court Nearly all tn,
prison pleaded not guilty.
Crier Hawkins appeared in a new uni
form on Tuesday. The idea of having
the court officers uniformed is good.
The liquor dealers were all on hand on
Friday when their applications for license
were considered. They are awake to the
fact that Judge Gaskill is looking after
them and intends that his rules shall be
respected.
John Young will probably be sentenced
this week. Judge Garrison will be here
on Friday. The papers from the Court OF
Errors affirming the judgment of the
court below we're received by Prosecutor
Atkinson on Friday.
Detective Parker went to Trenton, on
Friday, and arrested John Cornish,
wanted here on an indictment for assault
and battery. He was arraigned, pleaded
not guilty and was put under $3.50 bonds
to appear on Monday.
On Tuesday Judge Nixon signed an
order in which Elizabeth G. Mcfarland,
of Bordentown, petitioned to have her
name changed to her maiden name, Eliz-
abeth c. Newell, by reason of her having
secured divorce from her husband, Burr
W. Mcfarland. on the ground of adultery.
The shortness of the Circuit Court list
was commented on by many. There were
but two noticed and two were added
later This is in marked contrast to for
mer days, when cases were carried from
term to term without trial or settlement
in view. Judge Nixon has pushed bust
ness along.
Constable Wesley Shumard and Detec-
tive Ellis H. Parker went to Trenton on
Friday, and, haying in their possession a
bench warrant, arrested John Cornish,
who failed to appear in court to plead to

Central Railroad of New Jersey, to re-

will occupy week, during which there
will be many witnesses to testify.
Those who were in the court room on
Friday heard a proclamation not often
given. 1t was an order to bring forth the
body of prisoner or suffer forfeiture Of
bail. When crier Hawkins discovered he
would be called upon to make the an
nouncement he began to look up the form
but could not find it. The officers could
not find it, and he was finally started
straight by the local editor of the Herald,
who was familiar with the form.
While the grand jury was in session on
Tuesday, Rev Samuel H. Ham, secretary
of the Camden Law and Order League,
and several of the associations agents
were present to give evidence before the

the society had been instrumental in hav-
ing arrested for various alleged violations
of the law. Some of the men under bail
were present and they witnessed the ar
rest of one of their prosecutors, William
Darby, of Camden, for embezzling small
sum of money from the township of Ches
terrified, while acting as tax collector.

allowed persons to buy liquor at his es-
tablishment and drink it there The evil
dence at hand was for practices more than
year old, and it was the rule of the
court to have such offences canvassed at
the time applications are made for re-
newals of license. The parties who had
given the court its information were sat
is1ed the illegal practices had been car
ried on during the past year, but they
frankly admitted they had not been par
ticular about securing the proper evil
dence. Judge Gaskill told Stumpf he
would grant the license only upon a
promise that the law should be strictly
observed. His honor plainly told the ap-
plicant what his privileges were and
warned him that violations of the law
would be summarily punished.
Prosecutor Atkinson then called upon
some more defendants to answer indict-
ments
DR.. Howard R. Faringer was the FIRST
He is Mount Holly physician, and was
indicted for assault and battery upon
Hannah Reeves, who was domestic In
his family The doctor pleaded not
guilty.
Jacob Bladt, indicted for selling liquor
on Sunday in Burlington, pleaded guilty.
There were five indictments against
Thomas Rattigan, of Bordentown. One
of them charged the habitual selling Of
liquor, in Bordentown, on Sunday.
Another charged him with the habitual
sale Of liquor contrary to law. To these
he pleaded guilty.
The other three indictments charged
the illegal sale of liquor on Sundays that
were specified Ex-Prosecutor Budd ap-
peared for Ratigan and said the defendant
would plead not guilty. He felt it would
be very unfair to him to plead guilty and
be punished on indictments making
specific allegations which were probably
covered in the two to which he had already
pleaded guilty and which no doubt cover
ed all the acts mentioned in the other
three
John Cornish, charged with atrocious
assault and battery; George P. Wolf, for
keeping gambling den and violating the
liquor laws, and Charles Elkinton, the
bookmaker who operated on the fair
grounds, did not appear and the crier gave
the usual proclamation for them to ap-
pear, followed by another demanding the
