APPEAL DAY.--lt q wise provision Of
the present Judge that makes sunrmonses in
appeal cases returHsbe on the first Friday of
Court Formerly witnesses in such cases
were in attendance every day of the term I'M
til these cases were called up; the present
practice saves much cost and loss of time
In many neigbulhoods there are some folks,
who are fond of petty law suits, and are 50
tenacious Of their rights, that, be suhjuct of
dispute ever 50 small, il must be settled before
a mag istrate, and il he does not please them
they appeal to the Circuit court. Each litigant
has his friends and witnesses, and they must
SO on Friday to the count above, Gas it is
called -thcir neighbors are summoned and
taken away from their business, no matter how
important it may be, to give evidence in some
trivia! matter Of which perhaps they know little
or nothing. There was case in Court here
several terms with number of witnesses, and
the Magistrate Judgement from which the
appeal was taken, was for the sum Of eleven
cents. Ifyou ale in Court now on an appeal
day, you will not fail to notice that there are
number Of those law-loving citizens about,
who have come to court to try their luck and
see how tier firesidc law will stand the test of
Blackstone and Kent.
Those who follow up the business seldom
get rich by it lit is a poor business when
well followed and the sooner man quits it
the better, as he gets ont of credit with his
neighbors, when good will and harmony are so
Indispensable. The admonition of the Apostle
applies with great force " Avoid foolish con-
tentions, and strivings about the law, for they
are Improbable and vain.''
There may be cases in which man is COM
PEELED to go to law, but do not contract a
fondncss for petty lawsuits, nor be always
| about Court on Appeal days.
