OF SUSSEX COURT CASES

The Sussex Republican. Of Georgetown,
says editorlaily today:
It may be of interest to our readers
to know that of the sixty-one indict-
ments found by the Grand Jury at the
recent term Of court thirty were for en-
gaging in business without licenses, and.
Of the thirty-one remaining, six were
for selling Intoxicating liquors without
a license, and in only three other cases
did the influence Of liquor appear or
play any part. IN one assault case the
defendant said he "was drunk and
didn't know what he was doing" In
two other cases it appeared that the de-
PENDANTS had ':had drink or two" but
denied acting under the influence OF
liquor
There was not single case from
BroadlIiln. Lewes and Rehoboth, Indian
River. Baltimore, Gumboro. Broad Greek
or Nanucoke Hundreds. There was one
case, for larceny. from Dagsboro Hun
dred, and two from Georgetown Hum
dred. one for obstructing Justice and one
for larceny. the. latter a small boy.
So that out of The thirteen hundreds
in Sussex county. in these nine there
was not a crime committed that could
be traced to the use OF intoxicating liq-
uor. The four remaining hundreds. Ce-
dar Creek. North West Fork, Little
