COURT NEWS.

The delivery Of liquor by stores in
New York to patrons in New Jersey
received attention this morning from
Supreme Court Justice Charles c..
Black in his charge to the May grand
jury sworn in by County Clerk E.,
Bertram Mott. Justice Parker told
the jurors there seemed to be little
difficulty over the enforcement Of the
local liquor laws. While there were
no blue laws in New Jersey regarding
the sale of liquor the indiscriminate
sale of liquor to young people was
working injury. The grand jury should
take cognizance and see that yiolat ors
did not go unpunished.
The justice said that the drinking
Of liquor on the premises of wholesale
places was an infraction OF the law
and should be stopped.
Trouble has arisen over the New
York merchants who carry charge
accounts with Jersey customers. They
hold that, though they have licenses
only in New York, they have right
to deliver their goods in this state =
This is close question, said JUS
tice Parker, land the court has ruled
that the sale takes place where the
merchant receives his order and gets
his money and the sale is not complete
until delivery Is made. :" II bottlers
in adjoining counties come into Morris
county and make deliveries it is your
duty to take cognizance OF it,"
