We are assured that many parties
holdiag the position of Trial Justice in
the County, forgetful of the dignity and.
OF their places have lent
their aid to engendering strife and pro-
lawsuits. Leaving the ends of
justice and the peace and quiet of The

mend that steps be taken to compel
these parties to turn over all moneys
