The business OF the term was substantially con-

however, lest some persons may have neglected
to enter their appearance upon the new docket,
not anticipating so brief term, to keep the court
open several days longer 1t was accordingly

purpose of adjourning from day to day or finally
as may be thought advisable.
In addition to the sentences 10 Imprisonment
imposed by the Judge, as mentioned in yesterday s
report large amount Of fines were paid in.
Probably the whole sum secured to the county
treasury this term will come fully up to fourteen
hundred dollars. Several cases remain upon the
docket where fines or imprisonment might have
been imposed, which occasions some grumbling
on the part of the officers who have labored so
assiduously to bring violators Of the law TO pun
