pointed, quorum was formed, Judge
Buckley as resident; the different officers
and American and Spanish spectators,
filled the room. Gov. Worthington, as a
member of the bar, moved resolution in
respect to the memory of the deceased
Judge; and, after acting on some matters
of pressing moment, the Court adjourned
