Tl report of the Treasurer was- read, show- iog 2 buiance of $259.19 on hand. The Committee on Admissions reported the names of eleven new applicauts, which, under the rules, were laid over one month. The fol- lowing gentlemen were then balloted on and ciected: Ewbert F. Allen, Thomas S. McClel- Jand, Thomas C. Whiteside, Harry Rubeus, No- Me B. Judah, Frank A. Johoson, William S. rackett. The Committce on Amendments to the Law stibmitted the following report, which was or- Gered to be placed on file: The Commitice on the Amendment of tne Laws respectfully reports tht it has had under consider- aijon (e fubject of the amendment of the jury Juw of the State of 1liinois herctofore submitied to it sy the action of the Associution. “he conciusion at which it has arrived is, that the existmg statutes providing for the selcction of are not in themeelves objectionabi i ccial fieed of any amendment. Tu -grounded complamts mede as o the character es 10 which causes are submitted in our o1 | conrts anse from the administration of the law ruther than from sny defects in the law itseif, 1t therefore recommends thut a slanding committee e appointed charged with the duty of conferring with the proper oficers from time to time, as the siecessity #hall arise, with a view of sccariaga faithfur administration of the law. = 1t has aiso considered the resolution heretofore referred to i1, rccommending to the Legisiature of 1hie State the passage of un smendiwent 10 the law providing that in civil cases at law the trial shall De oy the Ceart, withost tne intervention of the jury, unless ore or besh the partiés 1o the cause thall demand a trial by jury. While there is no objection to the proposed levislation, its effects wonld be scarcely appreciabie in the reduction of the time consumed or the expense incurred in liti- gation. In ucarly all cases one _party or the other ‘wouid make the demand required. The Committce hag also cousidered the resoln- tion directing it to ake inquiry into the admin- istration of the criminut code, and repori to tue Arsociation a bill for presentation to the General ZAssembly to remedy whatever defects may be Tound to exiet therein, orm any otber law regu- lating the tnal of criminals. 1t 15 respecefully suomitted that the many com- piaints relating (0 the admimistration of the crim- anl laws of thix Stale have their source in the aduninistration and not in the lawa themselves.

The same Comumittee also submitted a bill co- titled * A Bill 10 Amend au Act to-Amend an Act Entitled ‘An Act in Regard to Practice in Courts of Record,’” avproved Feb. 22, 1872, which amendatory act was approved Juoe 2, 15i7. This proposed bill provides where any judzment or decree shall be rendered arainst two or more persous, any one of them shall bave the right to remove the case to the Appellate Court by appeal or writ of error. Tiat all records shall be filed in the Appeliate or Suprenfe Court before the sceond day of the succeeding term, if twenty days has elapsed be- tween the cutry of judgment and “such_second day of the term. Inall cases appealed from thic Appellate Court, the appeliaut shall be al- Towed to file fn the Supreme Court. the original Transcript which was previously flled in the Ap- vellate Court, together with™ all other docu- ments filed in_the Appellate Court. Appeals from the Supérior, Circuit, and Criminal Courts of Cook County in which a_foreclosure, ur frechold, or the validity of a swatute is iavolved, and all cases dircctly: involvins the v of u licn on real estate, shall be taken directly to the Supreme Court, "All cases in whica judgment is for more than $L509, and ~waich are atirmed by the Appellate Court, may be aprealed from thie Appeliate to the Supreme Court. Anotber biil was introduced to amend the act establishing Appellate Courts by proyiding it their jurisdiction should be limited I ac- cordance with the act given just above. “The re- sultis nearly the same by the two bills, but they-are amendatory of different acts. A third bill was idtroduced to amend Sec. S6, Chap. 110, of the Revised Statutes of 1874, by providing as follows: : SEc. 83. A writof error shall not be bronght after the expiration of two years from the rendition of the decree or judgment complained of. Provided that as to all decrees and judgmants rendered prior 10 the 1st day of July, in the year 1879, such writ mav be brought at any time withun two years from d dute, and withw five years from the date of the cntry thereof; provided furtber, that where any party thinkinz himself agerievea by any decree or judement that mav be reversed in the Supreme Coart or the Appellate Court shall be an iniznt, non compos ments, or under duress, when the sac was entered, the time of such disability &hal! b= excluded from the computation of the said five yeare, 3 ‘Lnese bills were al) ordered to be printed and distribated to the members of the Association, £0 us to be discussed at the next meeting.

The case of the allezed erooked juror, John Bresiin, enne up before Jndee Booth yesterday ruie W show canse why he should not be ed for contempt. Breslin' was on a jury about ten days ago fo the case of Ryan vs. Eigenman, and after it was over, and plainhff found he was beaten, two aflidavits were filed, oue by Patrick F. Ryan bimself, the plaintilf, the other by onc Huut, to the effeet that Breslin had appronched them and asked for money on the ground that he controll- ed the jury. . These aflidavits were read aguin, and then Ryan was put on the stand. He said that Bres- lin wanted some money of him, aud that be made un_agreément to see hiny the next worn- fngr (Wednesday), but purposely avoided dolnz so. He denied “that he had ever oflered to give Breshn anything at all. Ie admitted that be had asked Brestin to do what he conld for him, and had treated him to a eigar in a saloon op- posite toe Court-House. Breslin then took the stand, and denied flatly that he had ever asied for money from any ouc in the case. Rvan had approsched him, and of- fered bim $3, and then $5. il things went all right, and had flually aurced to leave $5in Evans’ saloon, which he could haye if the ver- dict was fayorable. L;:m met him first Tues- day, and then promised to meet him amain Wednesday, bus aid not keep his promise. - ‘Taylor, anotlier juror, titied that ne 1 ihe same case of Ryan vs. Eigumau, but did not see Breslin use or :ipoear to have undue influence with the jury in favor of either prrty. Judge Booth said he wus somewhat surprised at the evidence. e had taken care to keep the aflidavits originally wad¢ by Ryan and Hunt, and that of Ryan differed materially from his Lestimony on the stand. He had testified to facts nos included in his aflidavit, and had maue his testimony so different tbat his case wus wuch weaker than it appeared to be simply on the aflidavits, -His testimony was so ditferent from thatof Junt that one failed to corroborate the other. Ryan was euilty of serious miscon- duet, bug it was doubtful whether any punish- ment could be inflicted on him in the preseat case. On the other hand, Bresli, by his own state- ments, had slso been’ gailiy of a gross violation of bis duty in allowing himézelf to be approached by an intérested party, and in making un en- agement to meet him again, and in bein treat- ©d by him in a barroom. On his own showing he had been guilty of improper conduct. The Judye said_if be was fully satisiied as to Bres- lin’s guilt he would punish him with great se- verity, but the conflicting tostimony of Ryan had weakened the case greatly. Still, Breslia had, by his own statements, shown hie had been wuilty of improper conduct, for which he ousht ed. He had already been in-juil y b = been unable to_procure bail, and the, furth upishment would be that he, be committed 10 jait for one weck more, until next Saturday. This ought to beamost salutary lesson to jurors azainst allowing themselves to be treat- d when onthe jurv. It hasbeenandis the practice of very many of the jurors in thecourts at noon interniission to swarin across the street jnto the numerous beer saloons, and there spend the hour or two until atternoon session, being treated, drinking, and talking. Toe Judge characterized the habitas it should be called as a gross misconduct. CIHANDLER VS. CITANDLER. The case of Chandler vs. Chandler came up again before Judge Farwell yesterday morning in a new phase. The first movement was to file a demurrer to the bill. Mr. Dow claimed that the bill was only for separate maintenance, and not for.a divoree. ‘The act on separate maintenauce provided that where a married woman was living separate and upart from her husband without her fauit, she might, on proper application, have a_dccree for separate maintenance. Mrs. Chandler stated that her husband had deserted her and that he had been guilty of aduitery, but she did not aver that she was living apart from him without herfault. Suchaverment must be made cate- worically, and no: inferentially or argumcnta- tively, 1o be zood. Judgze Farwell did not seem to be favorably mpressed with the force of. the arzument. e said adultery was also charzed, and that would Justify ber in leaviug him. Mr. Dow then asked to have stricken out from the bill ali the allegatiovs charging Chandier with adultery, all relating to the transactions in Cleveland, about the discovery of the letters which proved his guilt, and all relating to the agregment for separation made in 1! This would Jeave little but the title of the case, the statement of the time of the marriage, aud the prayer for separate maintenance. Juage Farweli said that where the husband had been suilty of repeated ernelty, or where he Tad installed another women in the house, the wife would be justified in leaving her home, but he was not deaided whether a wife whose hus- band had in some past time been %\lill)’ of adul- tery of which she oniy knew by hearsay, or from others, could be justified in leaving her husband, and asking bim to support her away from home. On that point he wished to hear suthoritics. Mr. Dow then went on to argue the question of striking'out the irrclevant and scandalous cs, citing several authorities to show wiat was the rate in such cases. The Judge finally overruled the demurrer. He thouwht it was violating the spirit of the rules to require always that cvery allezation not. strictly necessary should be cut out. The com- plainant had stated the facts on which she would Tely for relief in a way sufliciently explicit to apprise the defenéant fuily, and that was enough. AMr. Sleeper then went on to argue the ques- tion of irrelevancy. He clalmed ihat it was necessary that ‘the facts which induc:d Mrs. Chandler to believe her hushand guilty of adul- tery were necessary to be sct out in the bill to show the ground on which she acted, “and to prove thet she was living avart from him with- ou her fauit. The Court took the matter under adviscment as to this point, and will probably decide it this week. 0 HEART, BE STILL! 0 heart, be still! thon heart of mine, That heats so wildly in my breast— .

Ivis well kuown thut the Chinese attribute tootbache to the enawing of worms, and that their dentists profess to take thesc worms from decayed teeth. But how they performed this trick, and 5o artfully concealed it in the hurry daily business, wus 2 secret only recently svived by a Europcan inquirer. After -some dififeuity and delicate negotiation, an intelli- gent-looking native practitioner was induced to hand over the implements of his trade, together with a number of the worms, and to give in- structions in the method of procedure. When a patient with toothache applios forreticf, if the tooth is solidly fixed in the socket, the gum is sepurated from it with sharp - instruments and made 10 bleed. During this operation the cheek s held on one siue by a bamboo spatul. both ends of which arealike, and on the en heid jn the hand some minute worms are con- cealed under thin paper pasted to the spatula, When all is ready, this is adroitly turned and inserted in the mouth, und the paper becomiug moistened is verveasily tornwith the sharp i strument used for cutting the mums; theworms mix with the saliva, and the dentist, of course, Dpicks themn out with a pair of forceps. Tne pa- tient having ocular demonstration tanr the cause of the discasc has beecnremored, has o Teason to cxpect relief, which in many ¢ would naturally follow the biceding of the zum. When the pain returns the eae ‘operation s performed over amaiv, and_a fresh supply. of worms fully accounts for the recurring. trouble. These worms are manufactured in quantitics to sult the trade, and they are very cleverly done; still, to carry out the delusion fally, the den. tistsare oblized to keep on hand;a few live worms to show their patients, explaining thac st 9f thost taken from the tovth -are kiled cither by a powder which is often applied, orthe process of removing them with the foreeps. The practice just déseribed, it may be added, is resorted to when the tooth is firmly set in the jaw. Sl s ——— PUZZLED. What fs it, little Wistful Eyes?

The Vale of Taunton Hunt, having started a fox, chased it into a ficld oceupted by a oir. Summerhayes, whose son was at_work in the inclosure and warned the hunt off his_father’s land. A scuflle cnsued, and young Summer- hayes was struck by the sportsinen. The local magistrates held that the youny man was justi- fied in resistivg a trespass, and that, theréfore, the zentlemen of the huut had no rightto over- power his opposition by force. This decision has now been atlirmed by the - Queen’s Benen Division sitting in panco, and the London pa- pers devote long editorials to the discovery that the custom of riding at large in pursuit of foxes hias only the autbority of scotiment, and that fox-hunfers do not enjoy a conunon law right to trespass.
