After listening to a very interesting
PRAYER by Rev. Herbert j. Wyekoff, pastor
u the local Congl church, Sheriff Whit
ney OF Chelsea made proclamation for the
formal opening OF county court and also
for the attendance OF grand and petit iur-
ors. William p. Garfield of Fairlee having
been excused from serving as grand juror
on account OF sickness, William III.
sprague OF Brooktield was called az tales
man and the whole panel was then sworn.
Judge Rowell then read very able and
elaborate charge, in which he traced the
origin OF the grand jury system and its
functions, explained fully the iniunctions
Of the oath just taken, and described the
various matters they would be called upon
to examine. EXAssistaut Judge James
r. McIam Of Topsham was appointed
foreman and the grand jurors retired TO
their room.
On call OF the calendar, which contained
but eleven cases, not one appeared ready
for trial and il seemed as If the court
would have to depend on court hearings
alone for business during the week, az the
states attorney must necessarily be oecu-
pied with the grand jury, though it is also
intimated that criminal business viii be
lighter than usual this term. The case OF
G, ". Scott vs.. Central Vermont Railway
