IN the musical, literary, and dramatic world last
winter. 1t comes mp for argument ON executions
taken by Mr. Benefits counsel There are also
several other important cases pending before tina
full bench; but there being no September term.
the notes Of issue have not yet been received by the
clerk. By an order adopted at special general
term, held on Thursday last for the hearing Of an.
peals from orders, members of the bar viii bear In
mind that all notes Of issues for the Superior Court
must be fled in the clerks Office eight days before
the commencement Of each succeeding term, in
order TO anord time for printing the calendar. The
trial term calendar for October, AZ usual, win be
very heavy, probably some twelve or fourteen
hundred causes) and will be printed and ready for
delivery at the clerks Office the Saturday preceding
the first Monday Of October. The same calendar
win be continued % the November and December
calendar, new Issues to be added on at the foot.

months past from severe indispositon, il ccuvales
cent, and it is expected win be able to preside at
the Court Of Oyer and Terminer in October.
Judge Beebe viii preside over the Court Of See.
sions this term which opens to-dsy-the first Non.
day Of the month. The calendar il heavy embracing
altogether one hundred and nineteen cases. Among
these, fortyseven are for selling liquor without Il.
cense, eight for larceny, three for bigamy, three

or fifteen days for the court to dispose Of this heayy
calendar.
BROOKLYN AND KINGS COUNTY LAW COURTS.
The business before the several courts Of the citv
Of Brooklyn and the county of Kings, which re.
mains for disposal during the September term, COM
mencing to day, comprises large number Of cases
several of which present interesting and important
features.
The Supreme Court will not sit till the third Tues
day, when Circuit Court and Court Of Oyer and
Terminer win be held-Strong, j., being the pre-.
siding Judge in rotation.
The calendars, both civil and criminal, must ba
very heavy, and it is to be hoped that the applies
ton Of "the standing rule" will have the eject Of
getting some of the old causes disposed of, there be-
ing some now on the List in which issue was Joined
in l85l-the list having gradually accumulated
ever since, in proportion which the old rate Of
proceeding was not at all capable of keeping paca
with, even when the Judges found it convenient to
hold session in this rapidly increasing and nov inn
portant section of the district.
Among the capital offences to be tried in tha
Oyer and Terminer are those OF Tucker, for the
murder Of his infant son; Farley and wife for
the murder Of Mrs. Darby, and several cases OF
arson.
The Kings County Court Of General Sessions viii
meet tomorrow, Tuesday, and panels of grand and
petit jurors have been summoned to attend. In tha
court it is possible some of the rioters participant
in the late disturbances may be brought to trial.
The City Court Of Brooklyn Greenwood ~
will be occupied with civil causes, Of which there
are exactly one hundred on the calendar, being
within one or two Of the largest number they have
ever had.
The calendar will be called this morning; but It
is doubtful whether any jury trial will be taken up
during the first week. These arrangements are,
however, not definitely made until the opening Of
the court for the term, and it behooves all suito
to be prepared, and abide by rule laid down by
venerable Chief Justice: every attorney should
consider his cause as the first on the list"
Saturdays, throughout the term, will be devoted,
as is usual, to the hearing Of equity and Law ar
rumexes.
