Court.

Court.
In his charge to the grand jury on Tues
day Judge Fort referred to the pleasure i
gave him to preside at this court after al
absence of % years, but despite this lapse
of time he recognized several familiar
faces among the present list of grand
! jurors AT the outset he said that while
he was not aware of any matter demand
ing special charge it might not be smisi
to say that the grand jury was part Of
the court, and was entitled to its advice
counsel and direction
"You stand between crime and the
criminal. You have right, and it is
your duty, to make complaint to the court
if you-are importuned by any one. Your
position is an important one, as without
your action no one can be brought to trial.
The obligation you have taken is the true
guide of your conduct. 1t is not neces-
sary for you to wait for complaint to be
made. 1t is for you to diligently inquire,
and if you know of any violation of the
law you are to present the same.
I'm former times grand juries were to a
certain extent inquisitorial, and often
found bills without hearing any witnesses,
but all that is changed now. trust your
service here will be agreeable and your
duties properly performed.
The jury retired in charge of Constables
A. Elwell Gaskill and William H.
Thompson.

Judge Gaskill took testimony in the
contest over the will of Timothy Keefe,
deceased, of Burlington. Out of an es-
tate of $1,000 he left one dollar to a daugh
ter. He claimed she had dealt unjustly
with him.
George A. Atkinson testified he wrote
the will, and considered the testator of
sound mind. He suggested the elimina-
ton of the paragraph cutting the daugh-
ter off but Keefe said no. 1t conveyed
his meaning and that was what he in
tended. The basis of this action was the
fact that the father lost some money and
his daughter aided him in finding it. The
old man said the full sum was not re-
covered and intimsted that the daughter
knew something about it.
1t is possible suit for libel may be
brought against the estate to decide
whether man may. in his last will, make
statements rejecting upon persons rep
utation.

quest desired to be continued. subject to
the call of the Court and Prosecutor on
any question which might need attention.
The foreman also reported that the jury
had visited the county prison and found
it in excellent condition. At the request
of the grand inquest, he spoke in com
mandatory terms of Sheriff Fenton. AS
representatives of citizens of Burlington
county the jurors felt it their privilege to
praise Sheriff Fenton for the manner in
which he has conducted the office he is
soon to relinquish. He has been prompt,
honest and honorable in his dealings and
courteous to those with whom his official
duties had brought him in contact, especi-
ally to those summoned to attend court in
the capacity of jurors
Sheriff Fenton was not present, but a
letter published elsewhere shows his feel
