How OUR Courts ARE MANAGED
The Judges of our District Courts, it
seems, are busily engaged in clearing OF
the docket of those old suits that have so
long been drag on men and mines.
Judge Burbank is engaged with the crImi-
nal calendar, and Mr.. ]. \. ApperSon OF
this town acts as Clerk of his Court, hold
ing a deputyShip under the County Clerk.
Judge Messick also, holds Court for the
disposition Of civil matters, the hearing OF
arguments on motions, demurrerS, etc,
etc. Mr.. B. II. Hereford acts as Clerk OF
Judge MeSick'S department, and wins
golden opinions by his business quaLhca-
tions and gentlemanly demeauor. Judge
Rising has also Court Of his own, for
the disposition of Probate and Civil mat
ters-Mr. J. B. Dayton acting As Clerk
thereof The whole thing appears TO be
SyStemised, and By its rapid disposition OF
business meets with the genera. approba-
tion Of Bar and community.
PURSE-oxAL. - We are not Of that
class known as lucky" but As we have
a few hundred OF tickets. more or less, in
Loryea's Gift Enterprise, we entertain
some hopes Of drawing several twenties,
a nice dwelling house, or some other rlch
prize, but possibly may not; we are IN
formed that but few chances remain I'M
sold, As tickets have been in large demand
for the past few days, and we anxious!y
wait for New Near's day. at which time
somebody will be happy man, and say
that Its the best entertainment he ever
saw at Maguires' (the place where the
drawing takes place.)
LITIGATION We are evidently peo-
pie who indulge in the harmless sport of
litigation, as /: will be seen by the County
s'IeTNWecords that since July, 1861, the
large number OF |, $40 suits have been en-
tered in the District Court calendar. In
the Civil Probate Court. 10 the time of its
absorption by constitutional provision
S39 suits were entered on the docket, ma
king total Of 2,3SS lawsuits for the peo-
ple 10 fee lawyers on. Who wonders at
hard times: Call on Mr.. ;. NJ. Bishop,
Deputy County Clerk, and we will guar
antee he will furnish YOU with data and
statistics that will astonish the unbelever
of Washoe litigation.
4 QUEsrIox.-In the recent trial OF the
case Of vesey vs.. Harmon, in the Dis
trict Court, to determine the question as

the right to act as Auditor "ex-otfclo,
,he Court, Judge Mesick presiding, de-
c;Sed in favor of the defendant, but the
plaintiff appealed the case, which Will go
before a full Bench for decision. and Will
doubtless be a final settlement OF the mat
Ter. not only As to Storey county, but to
all the judicial districts of Nevada.
\ PuzzLER.-The question has arisen
in our Courts-cau the Clerk issue an eX-
ecution on a Judgment rendered in the
late Civil Probate Court, without an ex-
press order: The Clerk (l4ucien Herman)
was of the opinion that he could not
legally issue an execution without such
order and although the Court expressed
grave doubts as to the legality OF such
action; it decided that an order from the
Court would close the door of all argu-
ment relative thereto. The Bar entertalns
a diversity of opinion.
NIAGARA HALL.-Quite a number OF
The sporting fraternity Of Virginia were
attracted to this favorite resort of the
knights of the Cue" last evening to
witness a game of pool, played by two
-,ropinpnt bankers of the city, who,
although not seemingly so well skilled IN
onoles as some. had plenty of coin to at
tone for lack of science, and which seemed
10 them but of secondary Importance.
The contest has been in progress for several
DAYS, we believe. and it yet remains to De
decided who is the best "scratcher.
CRrMrxAL.-Since the 10th day Of last
March sixty-two indictments have been
entered on the books of the Clerk of the
Courts, most of which are those caused by
the indiscriminate carrying OF deadly
weapons. We think law prohibiting
the carrying of such weapons would be
humane. and effective in keeping a good
