Opinion of the Court

On motion of Mr. Jones, the attorney for the District, to send up an indictment [against Benjamin Dulany] to the grand jury upon a presentment made by them* no person being indorsed as prosecutor, THE COURT (DUCKETT, Circuit Judge, absent) said that in such cases, upon the motion of *923the attorney for the United States, they would order Indictments to be sent up without a prosecutor’s name being indorsed, upon the attorney’s suggesting that in his opinion the cases require such interposition.
