GRAND JURY - The grand jury assembled this morning for the consideration
of the business claiming their attention.  The following gentlemen
compose the grand inquest:
George B. FISK, foreman
William POWERS
Nicholas JOHNSON
Thomas J. VAN SANT
John FEEFUS
William LEAYCRAFT
Henry SUYDAM
John A. UNDERWOOD
James C. UNDERHILL
John DIMON
Simon CORTELYOU

Peter B. TAYLOR
Henry DIKEMAN
Bernardus VOORHEES
Isaac DEVOE
William B. COOPER
Frederick SCHOLES

We notice among them some gentlemen who have been drawn on the grand
jury a half dozen times within half as many years.  How is it that these
gentlemen have to perform this onerous duty so often, in view of the
large number of tax payers in this city and county?  We should think
that some change ought to be made once in a while in the grand jury
list, in order to equalize the duty among those who ought to perform it.
