Veteran Court Clerk Honored Immediately after the April term of the Camden county court's opened yesterday, Circuit Court Judge Lloyd, who presided with Common Pleas Judge Kates in the absence of Supreme Court Justice Garrison, called attention to the fact that Court Crier Charles MacCready had been associated with the administration of justice in the county for an even half century. At the suggestion of Judge Lloyd a minute was adopted setting forth the appreciation of "the faithful, continuous and efficient service he has rendered in a full half century of devotion to public duty." The court attaches presented Mr. MacCready with a bouquet of flowers. The court designated Charles H. Laird, Jr., a banker, of Merchantville, as foreman of the new grand jury, which body at its initial session adopted a suggestion of Prosecutor Wolverton to change its time of sitting from morning to afternoon. The change becomes effective today. The court appointed W. J. Kraft, Lewis A. Starr and C. V. D. Joline as a committee to prepare a minute on the life of the late Judge John G. Horner.
