COUNT GF GYER AND TERMI Charge to the Grand Jury—A Rap for the Dealers and Sellers of Obscene Literature The LKlections~Lmigrauts and their De- franders—Compounding of Petonies. Betore Judge Ingraham. The Court of Oyer and serminer opened yesterday morning at eieven o'clock, Tue Grand Jury having been sworn im Judge Ingraham addressed them as foliows:— CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY. Gentiemen, 80 many of you have hereioiore served OD grand juries that 1t seem almost supersiuous to ad- Gress you as Lo the duties you lave to discharge were it not that the statutes of the State requive the pre- kiaing judge specially vo charge you m regard to several distinct offences, with the view of caliing your aitention paritculariy to the subject. GOrdina- Tily 101s thought best for the adavuisiration of jus- tice that grand juries shoutd advise witn and follow the suggestions of the District Attorney as to the ac- cusations to be suomitted to them. Sut in the cases to which I bave referred it 1s evidently the intent of those laws that the Grand Jury should act i regard tw such oftences whether the compiaint comes to them in the ordinary course from the inferior tribu- bals or whether such complaints origiuaie in your own body froin matters which may be within your own knowledge. In org izing the Grand Jury your foreman will have the direction of your pro- ceedings. You can choose a clerk and he must cer- tily the dndmg of the indictment. in order to fad such mdiconent twelve of your number must con- cur; unless that number do concur, you suould dis- miss the complain. ‘Tie law uy it a criminal Offence for any grand jury to disclose the finding of an indictment for @ felony against any person not in actual confinement untii such person snail have been arrested. The constitution and statutes of this Staie prohibit getlug up or drawing of any lotteries or the selling of lottery tickets either of jotteries to be drawn in this state or tr other State or county. This applies as well Lo lotteries tor Uhe disiribation vf any real or personal estate as ib does for moneyomerely, The apmne Statute Lorvids the issuing or drawing of any tickets or numbers ta any such loveries wherever they may be drawa. against this statute ar to be neanors and if you have before you of the commission of aay onlences it is your duty to present the offenders.

The Kiaitie in regard to public ‘oiticers forbids them taking or charging larger fees than is allowed by Jaw, or demanding or receiving tees for any service unless such service was actually rendered. © That in reference to the sale of spirtinous liquors also makes parties selling in violation of toat statute, subject to criminal prosecution therefor. The act to prevent traud in the sale of rickets Upon ateginboatsy and other vessels, intended mainly for we protec- son Of emigrants, Who are so frequently deceived and defrauded, protbits any person, uniess the ayent of tle line or company tor whieh the ticket is soid, from selling tickets for passage or orders or certificates jor such tickets, or giving any receipts for money therefor without being such agent, for the violation of which the offender ts declared guilty of a felovy. The keeping of an office lor selling tickets ta Violation of this statute is a misdemeanor, and by a late statute it ts made a crimtmal onence to sell tickets to emigrants at any other places than those designa- ted by the Commissioners of Emigration. The statute makes it the duty of the District Attorney to present to yon all complaints of this pature tu preference to il others, and requires me specially to call your attenuon to its provisions. The statute in regard to electious makes any Violation of that law a criminal offence. J do not know whether any violations of his law are to be brought to your novtes. If there should be it is your dnty carefully to examine them. No right guaranteed vo the citizen 1s of more vai than the ¢iective franchise, and none 1s more desi ing of protéction.

The effect of these bargains 1s to provide immunity for crime and to encourage he commission of such olfences. 1 regret to be com- pelied to say to you thas of late crime has much in- creased in this county, It must be expected to a great extent im so large a population, aud the cliy open to all parts of the world, and where we have reason to believe the crimmals from other countries resors, ‘The beat remedy tor it 1s speedy and prompt administration of justice.

This branch of the court stands adjourned until next Thursday, © COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. The Mec¥arland Triai—Motion' to Transfer the Case to the Oyer and Terminer De- nied=Important Opinion by Judge Bedford. At the opening of the Court of General sessions yesterday morning Judge Bedford delivered the fol- lowing opinion:— The District Atvorney moves ’to transfer to the Oyer and Terminer ceriain mdictments found in this court, The power of transferring to and fro is @ proper jurisdictional one to either of said courts, (People vs. Shepard, 11 Abb., Pr. Rep.) It is one of discretion. I think the power should never be exer- cised without public motion, and on notice to the District Attorney, 1{ propused by one under indict+ ment, or if proposed by the District Attorney on notice to the adverse counsel or party. Inone of the cases asked to be transferred the coun- sel for defendant raises certain objections. Criminal cases are now too much burdened with questions naturally arising to have unnecessary ones Taised that may aadittonally embarrass their due disposition. I suall, therefore, decline to transfer the McFarland case, in whicy the objection 1s made, 1 will transicr any case in Which both District At- torney and the accused, or by his counsel, agree in writing to the transfer; but if etther object, I would luke to be tnformed on argument of the reasons pro and con before exercising aiscretion. After arriving at this decision 1 consulted with my colleague, Recorder Hackett, whose views, with regard to this question, I will here menuon, fully coincide with my own aa above stated. ‘ne January term was then formally closed by tha orier of the court and the February cerm opened, at ch Recorder Hackett will preside, equently Mr. Spencer, one of the counsel for ‘arland, rose and gald:—May it please the Court, in the case of Daniel McFarland, indicted for mur- der, his counsei desire to state to the Court that they are Making the most vigorous preparation for tie trial, and contidentiy expect to be ready by four weeks from to-day; that, in any event, m.the con- Ungency of any possibie obstacles they are perfectly confident they will be ready by five weeks from to- day. They deem it proper to make this announce- ment in order that in vjew of the tact the District Attorney and the Court, in contemplation of the somewhat protracted length of tue trial, may make proper arrange gent ‘ oF CITY BEDFORD TO HOLD ANOTHER BRANCH OF THE COURT. Recorder Hackett inquired of Assistant District Attorney Tweed—who Will conduct the prosecution this month—what was the Bate 2 the galendart Mr. Tweed replied that it Was very heavy; that there were a great number of cases in the office to be dis- posed of, and they were accumulating very rapidly. The Recorder satd that the Assistant District At Torney had better consult with istrict Attorn Garvin upon that subject, and it it was deemed ad- sable bis colleague, Judge Bedford, would hoid another branch of the General Sesstons in order to fawilitate the criminal business. Our desire, added the Recorder, 1s to dispose of every case thid month WU possible. If the District Attorney could arrange it an order would be issaed for an additional panel of jurors returnable in whatever roow of the Board @f Supervisors the Board may assign for the hoiding of the*cou “t. A numbe. of grand jurors who failed to answer to their names were died, and those who ware pre- sent were discharged ttl] Wednesday, Edward Scott pleaded guilty to an attempt at pe larceny @ud was sent to the Penitenvary for year.

Before Judge Thompson. James F, Rhodes vs, Catherine Van Syohter.—The plaintiff, who 1s a reat estate agent, brought suit to recover $100, which he claimed defendant owed him for procuring @ purchaser for the premises Hicks street, The property was purchased oe trustees of the Plymouth Bethel, Defendant claimed that plaintiff nad also boen acting In the matter jor the purchasers, and she therefore asked for a dis- eat of the complaint, which was granted by the Court. COURT OF SESSIONS. Charge to the Grand Jury~Dingraceful Cone dition of the Juil—Dxpenditure of the County Money. Fetore‘Judge Troy and Justices Voorhees and Jola- son, The February verm commenced yesterday. A Grand Jury was empanelied, and in charging them Judge Troy ‘alluded to the startling tacrease of crime, Which has enlarged the calendars of the courts and crowded the jaih The Court also calied atvention to the diagraceful qpndivon of the county jal! in Raymond street, and suggested that the Grand Jury ehouid pay a visit to the institation and examine ite interior, The jail, he aaid, was no jonger Mt to retain prisomers in; It wae unhealthy and badly ventilaved, and a atrong, healthy man, who cannot find batt and goos into the place, comes out &t the end of three montha a wreck. fs honor did pot mean to inamate thas any reflection should be cast. upon the oMcers of the jatl, fs they were not bluuie, Ake Snort could omy furnish such accommodations ‘48 were furnished to him by the county. His HoNyr seid ne knew that at one Uine there were seven fersons Confined in one cell, among Whom Wwerg,: simply accused, while the others Were those awaiting sentence. It was not an Uncommon thiag to tind the old, broken-down, debauched or Uae. professional criminal locked up with tive or others, aud perhaps a boy of twelve years, who Was confined for throwing stones in the BLreets, A stop should be put to this state of affairs. Enough public money had been spent in the county for luxuries, while the necessities were forgotten. We can loangniliions to private corporations, Judge ‘troy continued, whether practicable or not, and can beautlly parks with unnecessary details, while the More substantial needs of the county are + 4 plied, We require a jal in this county, before we do any ting else, for the gafety Of prisoners, Under the present crowded coudition couspiracies and plots are frequently occurring. The criminals are pot under the eye of the Keeper sutiiciently, and it 19 al- most impossible for him to keep murderous weapons frdm the prisoners, One man under trial for mur- der (Skidiaore, the air gun assassin) was confined with another man, and cut bis own throat. When Pellicier (the City Park murderer; was awaiting ¢Xe cution he could see the gallows and the rope dan- ging from the window of his cell. fhe Court alluded to the fact Has pgpsons under sentence of death were confined in with other persons, where they couid not have, amid all the obscenity and profaly, Qn opportunity to pre- pare themseives for death. Common prdnn | and the dictates of religion would suggest that they be allowed a8 much privacy as possible, Ia referring to the increase in the number of disrepu- table houses in the city, Judge Troy said that there were some of them not very far irom the court house which were trequented by persons of wealth and apparent respectapility, whose names would be given to the Grand Jury tn order tnat they might be summoned as witnesses, The Grand Jury must do allim their power to auppress those places. The Court charged upon several other points, after which the jurors returned to their room. COURT CALENDAR—THIS DAY.

The members were all present except one, Alderman Florence Scannell, whose vacant chair seemed odd, indecd, among the others so weil filled. In the lobby was an unusual crowd. Among others was one who appeared, evidently, for the purpose of disproving the HEKALD’s intimation that he was the champion mustache-swinger of the city. The chap in the lobby 1s so close after the Alderman in ‘eyebrow on the ip’ that it might be surmised their mustaches must have been builtfrom the same model, The clerks were all on hand, andthe deputy, who in rotundity is rapidly approacuing his supertor showed signs of renowed vigor and an increase of hirsute capital covering. iis active and attentive assistant, Betts, was, as usual, at his post, and all other things were ready Tor a heavy day's work, Among the many PAPERS INTRODUCED * were the usual number of resohitions in regard to paving, regulating, grading and lighting and making donations.

This consisied of the CITY TAX LEVY. Alderman MILLE rose aud stated that it was simply useless for the board to waste its time in making any amendments or alterations in the tax levy, as the peopie at Albany aiways did as they pleased with it, and he moved that it be referred back to the Comptrolier with power lo prepare it for transmission to the State Legislature. Alderman MOORE hoped that the matter would be allowed to lay over @ week, a8 he—and he knew others—Wwanted Co examine the items and say Bouie- thing in regard to them, Alderman MILLE pressed his, motion and called for the yeas and nays.

Parsuant to adjournment the Committee on Pro- tests of the Board of Aldermen assembled yesterday at noon to continue tne investigation in regard to the protest of Nicholas Seger agalust William Guotzer, as Alderman for the Tenth Aldermanic District. The counsellor who seems to need a atrong pocket handkerchief opeved the performance yesterday by asking to have the investigation stiilf further postponed, go that he might be enadied to produce testimony to show that canvassers im several of the disricts Were appointed to fil vacancies where, in Jact, ho vacancies existed and in regard to which forzed resignations of the canvassers originally had been sent to the Bureau of Elections, Ex-Judge Paillips contended that the plan pro- posed by the counsel was a bold attempt to make the comuitiee # court of review on tie actions of tne Police Commission- ers; these canvassers acted under color of jaw, and he thougué thg grouna taken by its “learned Mriend” (those were his words) rather novel. Mr. Guntzer held his seat by virtue of the count given before the Board of Canvassers, and he now comes in and claims that the retarns were void and aot worth the paper they were written on. Counsel had induiged Jn a hitte sparring on the question when Alderman Miller announced that tue committee would allow the defendants an opportu. niiy to produce Mr. Hasbrouck from the Bureau of Eiections and the canvassers who served in the ‘Shirtreth district, aad for that purpose wouid take a recess unlli Friday, at tweive o’ciock.
