Vevay Reveille – 18 Jun 1891 – Page 4, Column 3

Circuit Court
Convened Monday morning, Judge Bainbridge presiding.

Capt. A. D. VanOsdol, of Madison and Capt. John B. Cole, of Rising Sun, Attorneys, were here looking after their business Monday.

Up to yesterday evening the time was spent in calling the Docket and making up issues.

The Petit Jury was impanelled this morning.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Pleasants says there are but three criminal cases for trial at this term—Lou Neal, charged with prostitution; originated before Mayor Manning, taken before Squire DuPlan on change of venue, and appealed from him to Circuit Court; Gilmer Kirth, charged with giving away liquor to minors, two cases—originated before Mayor Manning, sent to Squire Kincaid on change of venue, and appealed to Circuit Court.

The above cases will probably come before Court today.

There will be no Grand Jury this term.

As the weather is hot and farmers are very busy, nobody is sorry the docket is light.
