A Report Of the Business TRANSACTED
During tile Second Week of the Term.
The record for the second week of the
pending term Of our District Court does
not show such progress in the transac-
ton of business as was made last week
but the fact is readily accounted for
The most important criminal cases OH
| tho docket were fixed for trial this week,
and it was not safe to assign more than
one Of these cases for any single day as,
III case of trial, there would be no time
to take up any other business. It has
transpired, however, that all but one Of
the important criminal cases have been
continued and reassigned for good and
sufficient reasons i'll each case, either be-
cause the State or the accused were not
justified i'll proceeding to trial. Under
the circumstances, all has been done
that could reasonably be expected, and
considerable progress has been made
towards getting the civil and criminal
dockets into such shape that cases can
be rapidly disposed Of during the re-
mainder of the term.
We present herewith synopsis Of the
business done this week. ~
