The prospect of very interesting contest as

s. j. CoURr.-The January term of the Su-
preme Judicial Court, recently held in this
city by Chief Justice Appleton, was one Of the
busiest we have witnessed for many years. 1t
was in session twenty-eight days. and Judge
A. was indefatigable in his exertions to lessen
the cases on the docket, which were mounting
up to vast numbers. He had two as good iuries
as were ever emPanneled, who agreed upon
every case submitted to them, returning %
verdicts. In addition, the cases decided by the
iuries on the continued docket, is actions,
were dismissed; 131, entered neither party;"
10 went up on law; 217 were default ID % were
non suited; Z were opened to the jury and
Withdrawn; submitted to the presiding JUS
tice; 10 libels for divorce were dismissed; Q
libels entered neither party" and 10 divorces
were decreed. zoos actions were continued.
On the new docket 282 cases were con-
tinued; 10 entered NEITHER parity" carried
up on law; 1913 defaulted; one libel for divorce
was dismissed, and divorces decreed. IS
q Thus it will be seen that during the % days
session of the court. 458 actions on the old
docket, and 141 actions on the new docket.
making total of 500 actions-were disposed
of. The whole number of cases continued on
both dockets is 1887. This brief statement
shows with what industry and perseverance,
Judge Appleton worked during the term.
