It was his intention to have opened the court yesterday, but finding that his commission had not been signed he could not proceed to business. As the “first Monday in this month” has passed a question has arisen as to whether he can legally open the court on any other day, and an explanatory resolution was paced by both Hoases of Congres to- day to obviate thix difficulty. It is said that the intments of clerks, deputy and bailiffs have been determined on by -ludge Snell, but they will not be annou: , of course, until the formal opening of the court. In the meantime, owing to the law having taken from the justices of the peace the power to try ordinary police cases, the time of the Criminal Court is taken up by cases turned over to the Marshal by the police in which, if they are cases over which the Police Court has juris diction, the parties are committed to jail to await trial and in such this (the Criminal) court will only hear them on Aabeas corpus.
