has been exhausted since June l, and for
the latter sinos May /. The business Of the

by this failure Of funds, as Marshal Corbett
advanced the necessary amount OF money
to the government from his own private
means. he will be reimbursed from the
general deficiency bill, and while he must
be out of money for several months, he
thought 1t better to do that than TO cause
suspension OF business In the
court. The appropriation for the next
fiscal year will not be available before July

earlier than July 10. Judge Newman's
court Of the Northern district of Georgia
has been compelled to suspend on account OF
the exhaustion OF the funds for paying
jurors aud witness fees, and for the reason
that the expenses in these departments were
too great to be easily advanced. Witness
and jurors fees constitute the greatest part
OF the court expenses. There has been bus
little criminal business in Judge SpeeI's
court this year, aud hence the sufiiciency Of
the two appropriations referred TO.
