When the application of William d.
Marren for a saloon license In Mount
Holly, was read, George M. HilIman
stated that Mr.. Marren was confined
to his bed as the result of a bad acct
dent. Under the circumstances the
court suspended the rule that requires
an applicant to be in courtand granted
the license, the fee to be 5000, and
authorized Mr.. Hillman and the county
clerk to see that the proper recognizance
was executed.
| William G. Popp asked for license
for Birmingham Inn. Blanchard HI.
White represented the applicant and
the court made some inquiry about the
application. This place had a license
for several years but some of the recent
managers did not seem to care for the
privilege. 1t appears to be matter oil
necessity, and is in reality for the &C
commodation of the guests who use
the house as summer resort. Judge
Lippincott decided he would hear testi
mony on the question of necessity and
fixed next Saturday as the date for the
taking of testimony.
Yesterday the prisoners who were in.
dicted by the grand jury were brought

an indictment charging him with as
sault and battery on Samuel Lutz
Former Senator White appeared fol
the defendant and said he would ad
NIT that Mr.. Richards probably lost
his head and resented remarks thai
Lutz had made. The lie passed and
Richards struck the blow. He had
apologized to Lutz and the latter had
offered the day before the grand iurv
met to settle the case for doctors
services and the fees he had paid pri.
vate counsel, buts.this offer appeared
to have been withdrawn. Prosecutor
Kelsey said that such an action would
be compunding felony and he NAV
look into it as his duty as prosecutor
would seem to call for such action.
Three little boys, the oldest ID wears
of age, the youngest 10 years old, were
brought in on Indictment for breaking
and entering the warehouse of John s.
Collins & Son, at Moorestown. The
boys were about to plead but Judge
Lippincott INTERVIEWED and said he
thought that boys of such tender age
should have advice of counsel before
entering plea. Henry H. Savage
was appointed by the court to look in
to the matter and he stated he had
talked to the youngsters and that thew
admitted their guilt. Mr.. Savage said
he considered this case striking ex-
ample of the failure of criminal pro-
cedure. Here were three little bows
brought before the court, taking
the time of the grand jury, putting the
county to expense and the value of the
goods taken would not amount to 50,
The stolen property consisted of
counterfeit dollar, some lead pencils. a
pair of pincers and compass. He
thought the entire matter was travestv
of justice. Prosecutor KELSEY called
attention to the fact that Messrs. Col.
Inns had been annoyed very frequently
