A large amount of business was set for
this term, and the calendar was almost en-
tirely cleared of cases. A less number of
cases stand over from this term in proper
ton to the number entered, than for any
term for long time. A vast amount
of business waits the disposition of the
general term of court. Business seems to
be on the increase in this and adjoining
counties.
