The present has been a very ples-an I
term Of the Court. and one character
lied by quick dispatch of business.
Chief Justice Appleton. with the ease
and grace that comes by long service.
and the vigor Of intellect which was
alway- hi, by right of birth, addressed
himself 10 the task of clearing of the
lumber OF our Court docket. and h. sue
ceeded admirably.
The entries numbered over xix hum
dred on Tuesday last week and AT the
close of the term "Wednesday noon the
number was reduced by nearly one hall.

Il wa- no, ..the more haste the worst
speed but the cases were disposed al
in accordance with the rights Of parties
and in the interest Of Justice.
There were seven jury trials and the
term was seven DAYS in duration. which
evidences commcndable industry in al
the parties Interested. The judge In
disInissing the second jury remarked
that he thought their yer,iicts had been
in accordance with the testimony and
the rights of the parties No doubt the
first jury received the same high com
incubation.
