ea THs CouRr OF CoMMoN PLEAs.--The fall
term Of this court commenced on Monday
and. closed on Friday of last week--Judge
Nash presiding. Among the legal gentle
men in attendance from distance, we mo-
ticed Hon. John Welch and Sam'l Knowles,
ESQ. of Athens; Judge Hanna, of Nc Con.
nelsville; Judge Nye, of Marietta, and Ma
jofFwaIl, Of Georgetown, Brown county. A
large number Of cases were disposed Of
principally civil actions. We believe The
Grand Jury found no indictments. The
following summary, taken from the docket
may give some idea of the business of the
term: There were on the docket at the com
mencement Of the term 1859 cases Ofthese'
95a we're either dismissed by the COURT or
settled by the parties; e5 cases were tried
BY The court, and two BY jury; making 50
cases il, all, disposed Of, and stricken from
the docket. This, we believe is the largest
.yamount of business ever transacted at one
term Of court in this county, and yet the
court was not in session one week. Judge
Mash deserves great credit, and is winning
