()ctober, 1778.
HE Court having dispatched all the business which the parties have beeff-ss—,
ready to bring on, and it appearing probable, that notwithstanding the orJ-j
der made in the seshon of last March, and directed to be published in the Virgizic 'ss
gazettcs, many suitors have not yet had notice of the necessity of attending to
their respective causes, it is the opinion of the Court that a further continuancess'
of this session is unnecessary. But at the same time that the Court is willing to 5
extend every reasonable indulgence to such suitors as may have been unprepared
meerly through want of information, they have no consideration at all for inat- "7
tention and remissness. It is ordered, therefore, that a copy of this order be
inserted two months in each of the Virginia gazettes, notisying to all petsons con.
cerned that thereafter they will be presumed to have had regular notice that the'
Court will at their scsstun in Mars}; next proceed to the tria] of the several causes?
in order as they stand on the docket, and dismiss such of them as the pattig shall ?
not then be ready to prnsccute. i'
