Never in the history of the adminis- tration of criminal justice in this city has there been so much business transacted as was done by the Dis- trict Attorney and his ussistants during the month of July of this year, and it 1s fitting that jurors and witnesses suinmoned for the August term should be prompt in their attendance, in order that these overworked officials may have at least @ short vaca- tion. DISCHARGE OF THE GRAND JURY. The first business in order was the caliimg of the panel of grand jurors, and after those gentlemen who were present answered to their names the Re- corder stated that as there was a Grand Jury in ses- sion in the Court of Oyer and Terminer the services of the jurors summoned for the General Sessions would not be required this term. The list of petty jurors was called, when only twenty-three citizens answered and the majority of those were anxious to be excused from service. His Honor refused to entertain any but legal excuses. An additionai panel was summoned for tuesday, 30 that the business of the court may go on without unnecessary delay. The clerk called the calendar of cases, and as the prisoners were arraigned most of them pleaded not guilty and were remanded for trial. GRAND LARCENIES.
