This indictment reciter most of the de famatory articles which have ap- I pea red in the Sullivan County Herald against Judge KraUs during the past ! year and linds them maliciously | libellous. JameS W. Piatt, attorney] | for Mr. Scouten immediately made a j | motion to continue the case until ! j next term; failing in this motiop he j then moved to quash the panel of j jurors, for the reason that the ] sheriff had failed to note the occupa- J tion of one of the jurors in ills leturn i te the venire. This motior was j argued at length by Mr. I'iatt 112 r the j defendant, and by Messrs. Bradley j and Mullen for the Commonwealth. ■ Judge Lynch decided to quash the array of grand jurors. This had the effect to quash the in- j dictment. The Dist. Atty then'j moved the Court to order a special j jury, and after argument on both sides the Court made an order fer ! the sheriff to summon a special jury, which was done, and the jurors al ready in attendance were summoned. The same indictment was presented to the special grand jury and a true bill found. This being excepted to, Judge Lynch, on consideration re versed his order, and quashed that indictment. The case was continued until next term. Judge Lynch stat ed that he was inclined to the opin ion that the order made for the special grand jury was an error, but he would hold it under eonside.iation and in the meantime continue the case until next term. Mr. Scouten entered bail for his appearance at next term. —The case of Betts vs John CJ. { j Scouten was disposed of by Judge Lynch on Monday. This is the case in reference to which the Her j aid made its defamatory attack on |T. J. A- F. 11. Ingham two or three j weeks ago. j It appears that the judgment which was for S4OOO. had been sent to T. J. A- F. 11. Ingham by W. E.«Sr C. A. Little attorneys in Tunklian nock, and their names had been up on the Record for over five years. When the lien was about to expire F. 11. Ingham wrote to Mr. Scouten about it, and received no reply,after wards spoke to him personally. Mr. Scouten claimed to have paid it but refused to produce a receipt; as attor neys of record would be personally responsible if the lien should be lost, Mr. Ingham issued a Scire Facias to revive, returnable at February term ISO!). Mr. Scouten did not produce any receipt, or tile an affidavit of defense. Judgment could have been taken at that term for want of an affidavit of defense, but to give Mr. Scouten plenty of time, is was allow ed to stand open until May term, when as Mr. Scouten still proved obdurate, judgement was taken in open court at tin- usual time for tak ing such judgments. After this Mr. Scouten asked Mr. Ingham to allow the judgment to be stricken off, and was told that if he would file his re ceipt and pay the small amount of costs due to the sheriff and prothono tary, it might be done. This he re fused to do, and took a rule to show cause why the judgment should not be opened. Having failed in this motion, he then took a rule to show cause why the judgment should not be stricken off and petitioned the \ Court to compel T. .1. F. 11. Ing -1 ham to tile a power of attorney. I Judge Lynch decided that ij was too late to demand that. Judge Ingham then stated the facts of the case, and said it was a mere question of costs; and that Mr. Seuuten could have had the judgment marked satisfied lat any time by paying the sheriff I and prothonotary for costs of revival. | As this was not denied, Judge Lynch j made an order that the judgment | should be stricken off on payment of | costs by the defendant, John <!. i Scouten. —To S( iiooi, Di kkctohs: There will be a meeting of the Sullivan County School Directors' Association at Forksville, Pa., Friday, March US, 1000.
