Chief Justice Waite, on the Bankrupt Law, and
the substance of the points made by Col. w.

tice assented to all the positions taken by Col.
Early, except to the uniformity Of the act Of
March 8, 1873. Not being familiar with the
Bankrupt Law, (ls there is very little bankrupt
practice in northern Ohio, where he resides) he
took time to consider that point until the 18th OF
June, at which time, as he had previously an
nounced, it is his intention to hold a special
term of his Court in Richmond. AS Judge
Bond had expressed an opinion on this ques-
ton in the case of billiard, Judge Waite will
set alone on that occasion, especially in the
consideration of the point raised by the views
of Judge Bond. dissenting from the decisions
of Judges Rives and Underwood. IT
