AFTERNOON SESSION.
Court commenced promptly at 8
o'clock but there being no cases ready
the Court and bar betook themselves to
reading the newspapers and indulging
in social chat. The water cooler was
liberally patronized, fans had not been
brought out from their winter hiding
places, but pocket handkerchiefs were
freely used for sweat mops to wipe the
drops.of perspiration from forid cheeks
and brows.
There seemed TO be a general desire
to postpone cases, it was shrewdly
guessed to have them tried In the new
courthouse at Wilmington. Every
day adds to the unsightly appearance
Of the old courthouse. Every spiders
web located in the corner is viewed
with a shudder and as the plastering
is falling gradually from the weather
beaten walls, there are uudertones,
that the building was never. very.
strong any how.
After sweltering for some moments
in ninty degrees Of heat, Henry G.
Turner, Rsq., represented that in the
case Of J. +. Greenwalt VS.. Herman
Ball the defendant, on account Of the
removal of John, O'Byrne Esq, from
Wilmington to New York was without
counsel but for the sake OF continuing
the case until next term he would ap-
pear as his counsel for that purpose.
Mr.. Lore counsel for plaintiff assentad
to the proposition and the case was &C
cordingly postponed. In making the
application Mr.. Turner remarked that
Mr. O'Byrue had law office in New
York and branch Office In Philadel-
phia, and that he was also assistant
corporation counsel for the city OF New
York.
The cases of Rachel M. Z. Shall vs..
Mslyina Downey was referred the refer
ees to be chosen by counsel.
At 3.45 the jury in the case Of Ball
vs.. Grubb came into court with a ver-
dict Of $40 for the plaintiff, after which
all the juries were discharged until 10
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The Prothonotary sheriff, and
counsel in the Croasdale libel suits
were engaged the most Of the afternoon
in drawing the special juries ordered
