 DISTRICT COURT will not likely con- Yene before the next regular term, unless necessity arises which does not now seem to exist. It was the purpose of Judge Titus to have had the Court duly called and adjourned from day to day on and after the first day of inc term, as fixed by law, until his return, but as it was not so done, there is 6 doubt about the legal ity of holding term now. As there is no pressing business, it may be just as well to let what there is go over 10 the next regu- lar term.
