Ibaye suspended their Courts for the pres

from Circuit Courts If held. Many Of the
JUDGES Of West Mississippi will not hold
saeir Courts until another crop, in view
Of the general distress, and very great
/ scarcity Of money
Now with all due Difference to the
J opinion Of others, it would seem that the
!. Circuit Court Of ours, the 8th Judicial
e District ought also to be postponed until
Il next winter
No part Of the State has suffered more
for want Of provisions, no part Of i &C,
cording to their means, has contributed

ond tending it, even if the objections alrea
mus given are not sufficient. The larger na
