BENZ. J. W. URBAN,
Clerk.
similar rule, with the proper change
of name, was served upon w. Z. Hensel,
esq.,, at the same time. Both gentlemen
asked where the other part of the
rule was that Judge Patterson Ii ad read in
court. Clerk Urban politely answered
that he did not consider that part of
the rule, had not had time to copy it, |
would do SO when he had time as matter |
of accommodation, but he did not think |
he was bound to do SO.
The editors of the 1NTELLIGENCER de-
ciiEed the kind offer and said they would
ask it as a matter of right from the court.
Mr.. Henscl, later in the day, appeared
before court and said that they had been
served with the mere conclusion of the
rule that had been read, that it contained
upon which the rule appeared to
have been founded, that they had excepted
to the accuracy of these statements, and
understood that they would be
furnished with copy Of them.
Judge Patterson said that the paper was
fled and respondents could have access to
it.
Mr.. IIensel inquired if the court refused I
| .
copy. He had understood that after he
left court yesterday, some alteration had {
been made in the narrative part of the
paper, and he thought they had right to
nave copy Of it at the outset to know
exactly what they were to answer to.
The court finally ordered the clerk to
prepare and furnish respondents with such i
| copy. S
