at this rate there will be tried 148 cases

swellod il we allowed for very probable
increase in the number of cases as time

constant stream Of cases in probate, equity

during term, to say nothing OF the appeals,
which, since 1874, are heard every month

Islands six times year by the Justices of
the Supreme Court, there is also a large
increase Of business. The question to con

these circumstances; not only has the work
increased, but there is every prospect of
its continued increase. 1t is not well TO
work the justices too hard; an increase in

in The Star Route trial to-day. witness ON the

Colonel Bliss had Suppressed any of the papers
from the Inspection Office. /" Here are the papers,
said Mr. Wilson, handing up n bundle; " look then
over and see If there are any from the inspection
files there" Colonel Bliss noticed that Mr. Iotteh
had retained and was reading the only two papers
which were from the inspection files. The GOMEZ
dence was perhaps not intentional. Meantime tho
witness was looking over the papers and was owl
IDENTIFY just on the point Of saying that there were
inspection papers there. Colonel Bliss asked MI
Tottcn for the papers in his hand lie saiu he was
reading them. Colonel BlIss then took them lorci-
bly, ont of his hands and put them before the VIII
ness. Mr.. Totten was very angry. You're an lil-
pudent pup he shouted. Colonel Bliss was
by this time in his chair. He said nothing aloud,
but turning with quiet smile to Mr. Meirick; Sau;
" lngersoll has called me liar and now iotlrn
says m an impudent pup. i wonder NnaV tic
next thing will be-" Little more was saiu hIlct
this exhibition of Star RoGte manners. Mr.. I0tieh

again. but was told by Judge Wylic that ior me
