The declslon was, in brief, that the State's Attorney held the keys of the Grand-Jnry room excent in jall cases and others where persona had besn bound over to appear before the Grand Jury. ‘There wos yesterday morning in severnl quarters wtrong exvresslons of disapproval with this decision, which, It was atated, took dtametrically opposite ground from one which Judgo Moore made while he was sitting in the Court last month. It was clalmed that to give this powor to the Etate's Attorney wonld be to divest the Grand Jury of its leziiimate functione, sud to ¢ive that oflicer power which he could abas: 1o the great danger of the community. It would, it wos allegred, put it in his power to protect crime, alieiter fraud, and to pravont the Injured and op oressed from obtaining a hearing bofore a tribunal which was created to givo them rodress, Inquiry of Amsistant State's-Attorncy Webar aa to tho luw on tho yuestion shows that the role adopted wos based on the oplulon or declsion of Judge Fleld, of the United btates Supreme Court, in Caltfornia i 1873, where the same point \was ralaed, ‘Tlie Judge leld that: First, the Judge of the Court could send mnalicrs to the jury: second, the District Altorney; third, the jurors them- selves wheeo thoy had & persunal knowledge of. the matier at isvne; and, fourth, al committing Magis- trotes.
