A New Rule OF Court.

On the opening Of Court of last Monday
morning, his honor, Judge Stone, gave notice
that he intended to establish new rule for the
future, which will MATERIAL, affect all the oth-
GERS of the court, but more especially heJuroTs
as they are the ones aimed az. He said that at
future terms court would be called promptly at
10 O. clock, and those jurors who were not pres
cnt to answer at roll call would fail to receive
their per diem for the day. This will have the
effect of causing jurors to be more punctual IN
their attendance and will greatly facilitate the
business of the court. And yet, at the Novem-
Der rms especially 1t will be almost n hard
