The Distrc. Telegraph Company has
fitted up an elegant Office in the court
bui,diug. Jackson square, and has estab'
lished the court SERVICE" which has al
ready become very popular with the legal
profession and others having business in
the courts.
Among the various advantages this sys'
tenn presents, the following will suffice to
give our readers an idea of the Service,
inaugurated by permission of tho honora'
BILE judges:
Lawyers and witnesses are notified when
their presence is necessary, thus aoollshln9
the necessity of being at court perhaps al
day awaiting the call of their case. busl
ness men can remain in their othces OF
stores until they are wanted; ladies 1t thelI
homes, the necessary arrangements having
previously been made by them as to noun
cation. Jurvmen can communicate VIII
their business or families when they are
held on q jury, or can telegraph to any par
of the United States.
A regular line of telegraph is in opera
ton between the several offices OF the com
pany: thus messages of all kinds can OF
sent and received. The messenger corps
deliver with promptness under the manage
ment Of a we'll conducted system. Thus the
whole offers advantages and facilities which
the public may have confidence in and mo
profitable to patronize.
