court was held In this end of the State and
even IL the charges referred to scarcely war
ranted trial considerable instruction might be
brought out by such a session. That the court
will be ordered, however, is scarcely probable
as Second Brigade Headquarters seem to have
considerable dread of making any moves of the
kind. since several papers of similar charac-
ter have been pigeon-holed during the past
year or two.
