S. Marsi.al of one Heath, an escaped es-caped pri.-e tier. Seven persons appeared ap-peared as claimants. On consideration considera-tion the court divided the amount among the c'aimauts. The ca-e of an appeal from the Alderman's Alder-man's court, of Provo, in a tine assessed against Abraham Durlee tor selling liquor without license, was called up. Kobert-on appeared for I'urfee, and John B. Milner for Provo city. Pending the investigation, the grand jury came into court. All answered to their names, and presented one indictment. in-dictment. The Judge airain read section sec-tion 16, chapter 35, and labored hard to show how the jurors have been imposed im-posed upon iu not being paid by the Territory or counties, tor services rendered, ren-dered, when the statues of the Territory . so plainly set forth how they shall be paid. "For here," said the Judge, "it is in a nut-shell. The people are one thing in this and the law and facts are another. Flnough has been appropriated, appro-priated, and what has become of it I cannot tell. The Legislature are your servants, and the money has been raised from your property. I do not know what has become of it, I shall award you three dayj on the part of the United States, and shall expect you to prosecute your labors on Territorial Terri-torial busiuess, and I shall endeavor to have you paid. We shall proceed to the trial of the cases on what is called Territorial business." The jury then retired, and the case of appeal continued. After remarks from the attorney, the Court, on a question sprung by himself and not introduced by the attorney, said that "The papers referring to the Alder-1 Alder-1 man's docket were signed by E. F. ' Sheets, as an Alderman of Provo City. No such judicial officer can be known in this court, as the Organic Act of the Territory does not provide for such an officer," and dismissed the case. Thus passed by a ease wherein a respectable whisky-vender meets the full approval of a court who sots forth that the judiciary are endeavoring to hold their courts on merit. Such merit is what the community has to fear. Joseph Borne and Jacob Harris were called, they having been bound over to their appearance on the charge of stealing U. S. Government property at Camp Rawlins. Borne answered, Harris failed to appear; whereupon the United States attorney gave notice that he would proceed on bus bonds. Court adjourned till 2 p. m. |
