shipped thence to Brazil, it being the inte-
rest of the parties shipping the flour from

LAW SCHOOL OF RICHMOND COLLEGE,
We mentioned some weeks ago that the
Board Of Trustees of Richmond College
had appointed of their number MesSrS.
James Alfred Jones, Judge John A. Mere
dith, DR.. j. L. NJ. Curry, and Judge Joseph
Christian, Il committee to make arrange
mcnts for the establishment of Law School
in connection with the college. This COM
mittcc made their report to the Board of
Trustees ut Il meeting held yesterday after
noon. 1t was resolved to adopt the recon-
mendations Of the committee and begin the
Law School on the 1St of October. Judge
James D. Ia!yburton, William Green, Esq,
and j. l.. nj. Curry, LII. d., were appointed
professors of the Law School, and we arc
nicascd to announce that these gentlemen
have Slgniticd their acceptance Of the pro-
fcSS0rShips. DR.. Curry will lecture on con-
stitutional and international law. and
MesSrS. Halyburton and Green on i'll the
other departments of the law.
A more accomplished and abler corps of
professors for this department could not
have been selected in the State nor outside
Of it in this country.
DR.. Curry was 4 leading practitioner ut
the bar of Alabama before entering into
the ministry. Judge Halyburton was for
many years judge Of the United States and
Confederate courts held in this district.
Mr.. Green is recognized by the bench and
lawyers of the State rs emplatically at the
head of the bar. All of these gentlemen
are also Of established reputation as accom-
plished scholars.
Richmond is par excellence the point for
the establishment of Il successful law school.
She possesses the advantages of all the
courts, from the highest to the lowest, and
the largest law library in the State. STU
FL -, ,,,in 1,, InI 70 f,f
fession to which they intend to devote
themselves, and not driven to the totally
inadequate resource of moot-courtS. This
is Il step in the right direction, and we hope
soon to see Richmond College the rivdl of
Harvard in the law ana other branches Of
learning.
