A similar charge is made in respect to another part of the road, contracted for with James W.

The prosecution examined their concluding witness and rested, and thereupon the defence, instead of calling Witnesses, submitted a proposition to let the case £0 to the jury upon the charge of the Judge.

Opening Froccedings— Another Judicial Re- primand— Marshal General Sharpe Still Under a Cloud—Damaging Testimony Againet Grindle—The Defence. No late reports of cruclty inflicted by captains of Vessels upon (he seamen serving under them created greater abhorrence in the public mind than the charge preferred by two of the crew of the ship Old Colony against the commander of that vessel, Captain Grincle. The Old Colony sailed from,Cadiz, Spain, in August last, having on board two Span- fards—the complainants—Ramon Rau and Franco Frank. These men were unable to speak Hngiish and only shipped with the agent under the impression that they were to serve on board a Spanish vessel. On discovering the deception practised upon them they appealed to the oficers first and to Captain | ‘This | Grindle afterwards to be put ashore, was refused and they were carried off as part of the crow. From putting to sea until the vessel arrived at this port these men were subjected, as charged, to the most inhuman treat- meat, and when subsequently taken in charge by the Marshal’s deputies they were found in a mest Pitiable condition of filth, emaciation and gencral aebility from the systematic course of il) treatment which they had received, Yesterday the trial of Captain Grindle was re- snmed in the United States Cireult Court, Judge Woodruff presiding, The court room was thronged throughout the day, large numbers having been ateracved by a natural interest or sym} ) abused seamen, and by ine couuter ieel: lipathy to the man accused of the crime of e: cruelly to defenceiess men, The court sat at the usual hour, but a consitcra- ble time elapsed before the witnesses for the prose- cution were bronght into court. While the regular business was thus temporarily snapended the Assistant District Attorney moved that the Court adminisicr a reprimand to the Mare shal and his deputy for this neglect of thelr duty. An ofilcer was sent to the Marshals office, but neliher the Marshal nor his deputy contd be found, Juoge Woodruif stated that he would taxe occa- sion to reprimand the Marshal amd deputy on tid first opportunity that presented ilself, ‘the witnesses having subsequenuy entered the trial was proceeded with. * TESTIMONY LOR THE PROSECUTION.

Opening of the March Term of the Court of Con- oral Sessions—The Judge's Charge to the Grand Jury—He Opens a Campaign Against the Legal Shysters. ‘The March term of the Gencral Sessions was opened yesterday morning, City Judge Bedford presiding. ‘Notwithstanding the storm that prevailed the court TOOM Was Well filled by lawyers and citizens, who were drawn thither by the expectation of hearing Lis Honor the City Judge deliver his charge to the Grand Jury. As is well known by those who have lstened to these addresses every alternate month that they have been replete with important sugges- tlons afiecting the public good, expressed in ornate langaage and delivered in an antmated and finished manner. Those who wore fortunate enough to bo present yesterday enjoyed a rich treat in hearing a scathing rebuke dealt, on the one hand, to mem- bers of (he iegal profession known as “shysters,’”’ Who degrade it by robbing thelr innocent victims, and then listened, on the other hand, to a fitting and eloquent iripnte to those members of the bar Who adorn ti by their culture and probity of chav- acter. Those “shysters’? who were in court, if any there were, while Judge Bedford was charging the Jury must have wmeed under the severe but well Meriicd criticisms o: his Honor. To the younger Members of the legal profeasion—a profession to which Judge Kediord so feelingly refers when he Ukens it to plendia garden filed with the choicest flowers,” and of which he himeelf is so Proud to belong—the admonition of the youthful Judge will come with pecullar meaning and effect. The example so honorably presented in his own pex- son in the important Judicial position he fills dnd the Influcnee exercised by him as a member of the Bench of the highest crimtnal tribunal tn the State Tends adaitional weight to his words of encourage. ment, as well as to his notes of warning. No doubs they will be well pondered on by the two distict classes in the professton referred to, with the hap- results to both. Theron R. Butler was selected to act as Fore- After the Jury were sworn Judge Bedford charged them as follows:— WEE CHARGE, Mr. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JuRY—The law makes it Incumbent upon me to direct your attention especlaily to all offences against the Hxcise and Usury laws, the laws ie serve the purity of elections, the laws forbidding lotteries and (he taking of illegal fees by public ofl. cers, and the law, passed in 1449, to prevent fraud fo the sale of tickets upon steamboats and otier ves- sels, Limust also inform you thatic is A MISDEMEANOR for any grand juvor or olicer of the court to disclose the fact of an indiciment having been found for felony against any person not in actual confinement until such persou shall be arrested.
