j. lHE SUPREME Court OF NORTH ARoLlNA.-Very
rev persons have idea of the extent to which the
decisions Of our highest Court are consulted as au-
uoIlty IN other States. Within the past few months
pe nave filled orders from New York, Philadelphia,
BOSTON, South Carolina Alabama and Tennessee,
aeouhsng In the aggregate to hundreds of volumes
tnese Reports.-Fay. Observer.
lne foregoing from the O6sercer, expresses what
we nave long had reason to believe was the estima-
u0n IN which the North Carolina Reports were held
s0road. Recently, in the trial of Sicles in Wash
ms'lon' the North Carolina Reports were quoted at
'sngth' and relied upon by eminent counsel as
standard authority.
:, and why should it be otherwisei The return Of
'ns "od Chief" to the bench, with undiminished
pONer associated with that great light Of jurispru
usnce the present Chief Justice, and the patient,
and learned Battle has given the Court in these
''er days strength clearness of analysis and Of
augment and an authority never surpassed at any
former period.
