ON the bench. That he will make an efficient,
useful, and an upright Judge there can be no
doubt. His appointment cannot fail to give general
satisfaction to the people of the State.

that, on the second vote. number of members of
the Commons who had voted for them, seeing that
Judge Battle was elected, changed their votes for
him, before the result was announced, and hence
their vote in the Commons on the second ballot, is
much below what it otherwise would have been.
