JURISDICTION OF JUDGES.
Substance OF an Opinion Rendered by
Judge Holiday.


In the Chancery Court on Monday
Judge Holiday rendered an opinion in
the case of Morriss, trustee, us. Morriss
and others, which suit was instituted
February 25, 1873. The point con-
sidered in the opinion was whether the
Judge of the Hastings Court, or any
circuit judge, could, in the ab.
sence of the Judge Of the Chancery
Court, enter q decree in cause which
might be submitted to the Judge Of the
Chancery Court for decision or decree
in vacation.
Judge Holladay's opinion is that the
Judge Of the Chancery Court of Rich
mond, or any circuit judge, is clothed
with authority to exercise the functions
Of the Judge of the Hastings Court
during his absence, and that the Judge of
the Hastings Court, or any circuit
judge, may, in like manner, perform
the duties of the Judge Of the Chancery
Court during his absence, including the
entry OF DEGREES in vacation in tho mode
prescribed by law, provided the statute
is consistent without reference to its
constitutionality.

not dry list of hard botanical stuff
but over thirty pages Ct reading
matter, among which are articles
on roses, house plants, cheap
green house, onion culture, mush-
rooms, manures, young gardeners,
and very interesting reading, fol-
lowed by about $50 pages containing
illustrations, descriptions and
prices of seemingly everything the
heart could desire in the line of
seeds, plants, bulbs, potatoes, &c.
1t is mystery how this firm can
afford to publish, and really give
away, this beautiful work of nearly
200 pages of finest paper, with hun
dred, of illustrations and two fine
colored plates, all enclosed in an
elegant cover. Any one desiring
goods in this line cannot do better
than send 10 cents for the Floral
