The want Of accommodation for the Supreme
Court Of this city has long been disgrace, and
constant cause Of outcry against the authorities
with whom IT rests to provide suitable halls for
the administration Of Justice Since the burning of
the old building in the Park, no effort has been
made to afford suitable rooms for the Superior
Court. Some of our judges have died from the
impure atmosphere aud close confinement; others
have been obliged to take Southern trips to resusc
tate their shattered constitutions all owing to
the Incidence Of Supervisors, or the well
known system Of waiting for cogent "motve" to
move in the affair. Yesterday, however, Judge
Moncrief made decided move in the matter, and
peremptor1g ordered an adjournment of his branch
Of the court, at the same tire directing that the
Sheriff should provide suitable accommodation be-
fore Thursday next, as the Supervisors had
failed to do so. Chief Justice Bosworth,
who was presiding in the other branch, was accom-
modated with a loan Of the Supreme Court Circuit
room for q couple of days, and made similar
order on the Sheriff, under the statute. Sheriff
Kelly Immediately proceeded in search Of rooms
Now this is not only mean and contemplate that
our highest State courts should be compelled to
ambulate from day to day in search of a place to
transact their business, but it is reason for the
severest censure upon the Supervisors.
