The Grand Jury came mato court and prosented a nem- Der of indictments and the eubjoined preeentment, which ‘was submitted to the Coart:— The Grand Jury, in concladimg their duties, feel Kk obitg upon , im their relation to the Court and the people, ig gongs: thetr profound oonvietion that the matn sourde of vico and crime, and one of - the prineipul cauves of taxation im thig connty, is the tmperfection of the lawe in relation to the sale of fermented and alco- holie intoxicants, or the inefiiciency evineed in the exo- cution of the laws on this subject foond apon the statute books.

In the course of the day a gentleman who wns a wit- nose against a man named Collingwood, charged with larceny, called the attention of Judgo Runsel to an edi- torial paragraph in a morning paper, which stated that Collingwood, and the witness who appeared against him, were “ticket of leave men,” recently arrived from Eng- land. The gentleman furnished hie Honor with the names of several reapectable gentlemen in the city to whom he referred, and claimed that such @ statement would materially injure him in the community. The City Judge sald he had nothing to do with the matter, ‘and recommended the gentleman toapply to the editor of the paper in w ‘articl ared. Perrone The Chicago Trib says:—Tho lady of Goneral W.
