UNITED STATES CIRCUIT AND Dis
TRICr CoURTs.--As there appears to be
some misunderstanding among the mem
bers Of the bar, as to the time and meeting
of these courts, we will state for the infor-
nation Of them and the public, that the re-
cent act of Congress dividing the State into
two judicial districts, changed the time at
which these courts should commence their
term here, from the first Monday of May
and fourth Monday of November, to the
first Monday of April and October of each
year. These courts are also required by
said act to be held in Alexandra on the
first Monday in January and July, and at
Norfolk on the first Mondayrof May and
November. ElIT4 1'tr ts3f2
The Circuit court will be opened next
Monday at o'clock p. NJ, by Judge Tn
derwood, the District Judge, who will pre-
side until the return Of Judge Bond from
Raleigh, who is expected during the week.
The grand and petit jures will probably
be in attendance on Monday, but it is
thought no business will be transacted lm-
tilthe following day.
