RECORD DAY IN COURT
POLICE JUDGES AND OFFICIALS
KEPT BUSY YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was ''shirt-sleeves day at the
Police Court. Every one worked overtime
to take care Of the business that came In.
and, as a result. all records for the amount
of business handled in the two Police Courts
in one day were broken. 1t was declared to
be the heaviest day in the history Of the
Police Court. All OF the .officials OF the
court talked about 1t at tho close OF the
day, and 1t was with a sense Of qualification
that the officials contemplated the rapid
ity with which the business had been dis
dispatched.
In the District branch Of the Police Court
there were, according to Clerk c. w. Har-
per's reports, 140 papers filed. These rep
resented 40 new cases to be disposed of
by the judge. Besides these, there were
some cases left over from previous days,
which came up yesterday, bringing the
total number of cases before the lower
court yesterday beyond the $50 mark.
In the United States branch forty cases
were up, In one way or another, almost all
OF which were filed for the first time yester-
day.
From these figures it will be seen that
about 200 cases came before the two Police
court judges yesterday. AS many papers
have more than one defendant named in
them 1t is conservatively estimated that the
zoo cases represent between 300 and $50 de-
PENDANTS. All Of these either forfeited col
lateral. are convicted or acquitted with the
exception of few, whose cases are contin-
ued.
Yesterday was also the record day for the
eXchequer of the Police Court. Financial
Clerk Sebring reported late yesterday af-
ternoon the amount of money received yes
terday. In the morning the various pre-
einct stations brought in S1O99.15 as col
lateral. At the close of the day Mr. Sc
bring had Ss641 which had been forfeited
or paid in fines.
Thls amount exceeds that received the last
preceding Monday by $500. and that re-
celved on the corresponding Monday last
year by $3.50.
There were 156 persons on collateral yes
terday, and all those names had to be call
ed by the bailiffs six times
Or the 300 defendants about seyenty-ave
were under arrest. The others were either
on collateral or had been officially notified
10 come TO court At the opening Of the
