Would Prohibit Use of Nets

A number of the fishermen of Essing-
ton, near Chester, headed by William
Wood, will petition Congress to pass a
law prohibiting the use of nets larger than
200 fathoms and 6-inch mesh in the cap
ture of fish in the river or bay. The men
say that persons who use large nets. some
of them being 800 fathoms, scoop up all
the fish and prevent them from coming
up the stream. The scarcity of shad this
year in this vicinity is attributed by river
men to the use of large nets at the mouth
of the bay.

A Knottx Legal Question.

The courts of Massachusetts have
before them an unusually knotty prob
lem, bearing upon which there is APP
parently no law or precedent.
1t appears that a young woman, for
merly employed in a North Adams pa
per mill, while sorting rags found a
valuable diamond ring. She showed
the treasure, and her employers prompt
~ took it away from her. When she
asked for it they asserted that it was
theirs. Thereupon she began what has
proved a tedious litigation with the end
still in doubt.
The decisions regarding articles found
in a shop are said to be quite clear. If
an employee discovers a lost piece of
property on the shop counter or other
special place where goods are display
ed it belongs to the proprietors. If it
is found on the shop floor the employee
may after waiting a reasonable time
for the owner to appear take perma-
nent possession of it. But it appears
that there is little or nothing in the
books that touches upon the ownership
of a diamond ring found by an en-
ployee in the rags that were the prop
erty of her employers. The appearance
of the owner and the Identification of
the property would of course solve the
matter, but he fails to do this notwith-
standing the widespread advertising
the case has received.
Perhaps the oriental method of adj
ministering justice in complicated cases
like this might be employed with fair
ly good results. There the cadi hears
both sides with close attention and set
ties the dispute by pocketing the bone
Of contention. We do much the same
thing in the occident, only the lawyers
instead Of the magistrates get the bone.

Supreme Court Rearranges judicial
District.

The Justices of the Supreme have
decided to make an almost complete ar
rangement of the judicial districts of
the state. The change will take place
June Is.
The First Circuit which includes At
lantic, Cumberland, Cape May and Sal
EN- counties, remains unchanged in
territorial lines, but Justice Hendrick-
son who has held this circuit since his
appointment, will be superseded by
Justice Swayze.
The Second Circuit now composed Of
Burlington, Camden and Gloucester
counties will be changed, Burlington
county being transferred to the Third
Circuit, Justice Garrison will preside.
Justice Hendrickson will preside in
the Third Circuit, which will consist of
Monmouth, Burlington and Ocean
counties. Justice Van Syckel, who has
presided over the old Third District for
a number of years will retire from
court June 1.
The Fourth Circuit remains un-
changed as to territory, but Justice
Alfred Reed will follow Justice Swayze.
and will sit in Mercer, Hunterdon and
Warren counties.
The Fifth Circuit will be made up of
Middlesex and Union counties, instead
of Monmouth and Middlesex. Justice
Fort will continue to sit.
In the Sixth and Seventh Circuits no
changes were made.
The Eighth, at present composed of
Morris, Somerset and Sussex counties,
will hereafter include Bergen, Morris
and Somerset. Justice Garretson will
sit.
In the Ninth Circuit, Sussex county
county will take the place of Bergen,
and with Passaic, this circuit will be
presided over by Justice Pitney. The
changes have been made needful by the
increased population in some of the
counties.
JUDGE HENDRICKsON's REMOVAL.
An Atlantic City dispatch to a Phil
adelphia paper has the following to say
concerning Judge Hendrickson's re-
moval.
Resorts bordering on the southern
section of the Jersey coastline are
nightly interested in the removal OF
Justice H~endrickson, of the Supreme
Court, from this circuit, as he was the
exponent of Sabbath observance quite
foreign to the notions of either the res.
idents or Of visitors to resorts.

The squabble over the nomination of
Republican candidates for Governor in
Wisconsin and Illinois is proof that the
election of state officers should not be
held at the same time as national cleo
lions. AS national elections come on
W. years, state elections should come
on odd years, the year after a Presiden-
tial election when national issues have
been settled for four years.

GOSHEN.

A son of Mr.. and Mrs Jerry TrumbfE
was killed at his home Tuesday afterN
moon while his parents were in Brandon
village. The boy, who was about 1G
years old, was left at home to dig pota-
toes. When his brother and sister came
home from school he was found lying on
the kitchen floor dead, with an old
muzzle-loading shotgun by his side, 1t
seems that the gun had not been shot for
some time but was left loaded. 1t is
thought that the boy undertook to shoot
the gun by printing the tube with pow
der and lighted it with match to fire it
off, there being no gun caps in the
house. The tube of the gun was blown
out and there was wound in his side
that was not made with shot. As there
was no other person about the premises,
just how the accident happened will
never be known. There is no doubt but
that his death was accidental, as his
home life was pleasant.
