state of things goes on nobody can be found 10

up private contribution to pay his salary
On Monday the dockeS were called over and
judgments entered in plain cases. Ol Tuesday
the appeal docket was gone over and the few
cas- sappearing thereon, not being ready for trial
were continued. The motion to quSh the writ
