There was some curiosity at the opening of court, Tuesday, to know whecher President Angelí would ask to be excused from the jury on which he had been drawn, or sit on one of the row of soap boxes provided for the twelve good men and true having in their keeping the liberties of some and the equities of others. President Angelí was promptly on hand at 9 o'clock a. m., figuratively speaking, sitting on the stone steps, waiting for court to open. It was evident that he had decided to serve. True, he did nol briíig his dinner, as once did the members of the Pennsylvania ature, but it must be remembered that President Angelí is within a jrief walk of his home. The first jury case was called in the afternoon. Robbins, for stealng wheat of George HatnmVd, was to be tried. "Cali a jnry, Mr. Clerk," s;üíl ludge Kinne, and the stentorian voice of Mr. Brown bad a pronounced doublé B. bass quality as he called out, "James B. Angelí!" "Here," answered the late minister to China, and present President of the greatest Univ r ity in America, as he walked over and took his seat on the "soap box" with the familiarity of a man who was used to that sort of thing. Robbins was charged with grand larcerty, but the jury found hirn guilty of simple larceny, and the }udge sent him to the house of correction for 90 days. Robbins will probably never cease to feel the honor conferred on him, and will undoubtedly relate to posterity, years henee, that one of the men who sent him up was the president of the Michigan University. Moloney, the Michigan Central car cracker, pleaded guilty, and was rewarded by the judge with three years' good roofing over his head and a sure enough job of work, regardless of hard times. Wednesday morning the following pleaded guilty to violations of the liquor law and were fined: Martin Vogel $5, Fred Brown $25, Fred Reimold $5, Godfrey Gukenbach $5, Tohn Berger $5, Wm. (ïwinner $5, Jacob Gwinner $5, E. H. Wells and Ellsworth Thomas #5, Anton Brahm $5. The case of John Wagner and case 22 against Fred Brown were nolle prossed. Yesterday the court was occupied with the case of Mary D. Bailey vs. the village of Saline, who asks damages for injuries received from a sidewalk alleged to have been defective. The case of Alfred Bond vs. Esstate of J. W. Bond was continued to the next term. Case of Janette Parsons vs. Edward Bahman, placed at the foot of the calendar.
