There were six judges upon The

their lace band. They we're scrupu-

made a formal and inpd sing display
of their persons. A CO nscious dig

Judge clothed in his robes .of Office,

They bowed reVerently and took
their seats The Signal was soon Civ

seated at table read his argument,
which, at the longest did not exceed
thirty minutes.
He finished his discourse and bowed
again, when a very brief argument
was made by assisting or opposing
