The damage suit of Samuel Gold
berg against Golde Lerner came to a
close at one O'Clock yesterday and the
jury retired. The Court then took a
recess for dinner and Immediately
upon reconvening took up the trial Of
the case on the Circuit list of Samuel
Nathalinsky against Rosa and Joseph
Hornstein, in ejectment. Lawyer
Henry S. Alvord, of Vineland, repre-
sented Mr.. Nathalinksy in the case
and Herbert Bartlett, assisted by Ed
win F. Miller, looked after the Horn
STEMS interests. The suit grows out
OF business partnership between the
parties, and from the evidence it ap-
pears that Nathalinsky put in GER
tain sum of money against the expert
ence of the Hornsteins. Some time
subsequent the plaintiff claims he was
elected from the premises and could
get no accounting. Hence the suit.
It was exactly twenty minutes past
three o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the Grand Jury filed into the
big Court room and delivered to the
Court eighteen true bills as the result
Of their labors. 1t may be inciden-
tally remarked that this is an unusu-
ally small number of bills for this
county, as the usual number for the
past few years has been narly double
this amount.

Court took a recess in the Nathalin-
sky and Hornstein case shortly before
five O'Clock and Immediately pro-
ceeded with the matter of the habeas
corpus of Mrs. Parsons, to regain
possession of the two children from
the Children's Aid Society.
Mr.. Bacon, attorney for Mrs. Par
sons, made preliminary objection to
the matter proceeding on the grounds
that proper return had not been
made to the writ. Under the statute
Mr.. Bacon insisted upon having a
written return made by the defendant
society.
Mr.. Bartlett, for the society, was of
the opinion that the very best kind of
return had been made in that he
had produced the children themselves
in Court.
Mr.. Bacon insisted on written re-
turn and objected to having the char
acter Of his client inquired into with
out proper return, as he saw it, was
made. In order to suit the personal
convenience of the Court, Mr.. Bacon
consented, however, to go on with the
evidence with the understanding that
proper return should be made later.
Il Mrs. Parsons was sworn and testi-
fed that Bertha, the older of the two
