SUPREME COURT, Tuesday, June 10, 1862
In the matter of the protesting lawyers the
following was read
In the matter of B. F. Moore, ESQ, and
others. Pearson, G. j.
As there seems to be some misapprehen-
sion in regard to the matter which the
Court is about to take up it is proper to
say:
The rule was made on the ground that
every member of the bar whose name pur-
ports to be signed to the paper referred to
i'll the rule, did sign it and approve of its
publication.
We are informed there are about 500
members of the bar, and the clerk reports
that the names of 40 purports to be sign
ed to the paper-one-ffth of the whole
He also reports that Willis Bag
ley, Esq. has filed statement to the effect
that he did not sign the paper, or author
iZe any one to do SO for ham, and that he
did not approve of its publication. The
rule is therefore discharged as to said Will
lis Bagley, and it will be discharged as 20
all others who may file with the clerk a
like statement.
The clerk further reports that 101 mem
bers of the bar had an appearance at the
last term of the Court. Of these, rs did
not sign the paper. The names Of Is pur
port to be sigIed to it-one-fourth of the
whole number.
For the purpose of showing that the JUS
tees have no disposition to carry matters
to an extreme, or to do more than what is,
in their opinion, necessary to preserve the
respect due to the Court by its officers, and
to prevent its usefulness from being impair
ed, they can do no less without betraying
the confidence repc'sed in them by the peo
pie of the State. And for the sake of
avoiding useless costs, the clerk was in
structed to issue copies only to Mr.. Moore,
Mr.. Bragg, and Mr.. Haywood, in the first
with the hope that further action
in respect to others, might become I'M
necessary. Otherwise copies will issue and
q day given them.
The Clerk will enter this upon the re-
cord.
The matter of B. T. Moore, Esq, will
now be taken up. The Clerk will read
the rule, and the paper referred to in it.
Hon. D. G. Fowle rose and addressed
the Court.
Chief Justice Pearson informed Mr..
Fowle that NO intervention of the Bar was
necessary, as Mr.. Moore would appear per-
sonally.
Mr.. Fowle said that he merely desired
TO remark that Mr.. Moore had prepared
IN answer and placed it in the hands of
Hon. David A. Barnes and Hon. W. n. IL.
Smith, who had not yet appeared in
Court
The case was postponed until II o'clock.
