Thoseof the accused who were in jail were brought into court about 10% o'clock. Afler some time spent in discussing the or- der of argument, ME. WILSON OPENED FOR THE GOVERN- same questions were raised — that the case. The first reason given why these parties should not be prosecuted is that the pames drawn for the grand jury were so drawn less than ten before the a of nine of the jurors had been before drawn from the box within two years. 3d. That the Marshal did pot serve the jurors with notice of their selection five days before the com- mencement of the term. 4th. That the tales- men were illegaliy selected, becanse the names of the persons whose vacanc.es they were chosen to fill were not drawa from the box ten days before the term. 5th. Taa John Young, oue of the persons origina drawn, baving been returoed “not found talesman jastead of drawing another name from the box. 6th. That the order of the court appointing emnmmissioners to make the list of names to be placed inthe box was Void, beeavse it reciied the existence of a statnte that was repealed in part by the adoption of the Revised stattes. That por- tion acted on by the court was not, however, repeated. 7ih. That two of the grand jurors . D. Wise and Samuel Key) were over 65 years old. All the objections except the last relate exclusively to supposed irregularities in selecting and émpanneling the grand jury, JaSt aS to personal qualifications. After reciting the pleadings and quoting authority “that as to the special pleas the utmost strtetness is required,’ Mr. Wilson continued treating all of Fisher's pleas and argued that the other pleas are not sufficient and are bad in law. Ist. Because |. reguiari- les in selecting. drawing, and impannelling | the grand jury which do not go to tue qualifica- | tion of the ;urorsand do not deprive the ac- cused of any substantial right cannot be raised by plea in abatement ‘ist Dillon 429) and other authorities, 2d. Because each of the several provisiors of the statute whose requirements it is claimed have been dis- regarded in whole or in part are me di- rectory avd & non-compliance with them where no bad faith, Lm yp practice, or fraudulent intent is alleged, and where the aceused is deprived of no substantial right does not vititiate the panel or .ender the in- dictment void. Sd. Because all of the irregu- larities complained of are within the 1025th fection of the revised statutes which pro- vide that “no indictment found by a grand ye in any court of the United States shall e deemed insufficient, nor the trial. jadg- ment, or other proceeding thereon be affected “any defect or imperfectness in matter of form only which shall not tend to the prejudice of the defendant,” and by that statate they are fnily cured. At the conclusion ef Mr. Wilson's argu- Ment a recess was taken, and on reassem- bling Mr. Riddle, for Evans and Leighton, commenced his argument on the sufficiency of the pleas. ——— A Rear Estate Case—Mary A. Tune etal. filed to-day, through J. G. Bigelow, their solicitor, in the Equity Court, a ill against Ben. M. Plumb et al., to set aside two conveyances of parts of lota4and 5, in square 597, and also three deeds of trust on the same. The plaintiffs set forth that Step- toe T.

The plaintiffspray that all the above convey- that the conveyance from Edward I.
