Mr.. EpIroR Permit me through your col
umns 10 say word to my friends in your Dis
wct 10 relation to an order made by judge
Clgg,t at tie July term of the District Court,
held 10 Dss Goines county in 1853, by virtue OF
which order was suspended from practicing
As an Attorney, until would obey or comply
lsah certain other order made by the same
lone HORSE JUDGE at the same term. The
ret order required ME to deliver to the Sheriff
i Ds aoiues county, the keys to . certain safe,
'teh Keys had at that time in my pocket and
nat the time the owner Of them, and Judge
llsgeI, sithou, the shadow of authority, but
10 please number OF Attorneys who were try
/ ls TO obtain the keys, made the order
for their delivery, almost without the ask
Vng, matter Of right, refused to deliver
tp The keys and at the las. moment of his term,
knd without giving me notice and without hav.
lag Information filed against me, or allowing
Fsto be heard in the trial, he passed the order
s~nding me from practice, until / wsuld obey
itrbilrary and uurighteous ruling, thereby
iting oft my only means of procuring ilveli.

md member Of the bar from practicing in

pension operating as to oil other counties but
seems that this LEARNED Judge, this mod

where he acquired most of his knowledge,

as . matter Of course, will appeal from his
|essien TO that OF the Supreme Court, and that.
Mn almost every other case that goes up from
