Granted Notwithstanding Judge
Edwards Decision.
This is the week during which the
members of the Lackawanna bar make
their annual pilgrimage to the supreme
court at Philadelphia, where they will
argue before the highest tribunal in
the state for and against the reversal

been passed upon in the local courts.
When court adjourned Saturday it
was decided not to convene it again
until March II, when license court will
begin. During this week the court
house will be somewhat deserted
lace.
Probably the first Lackawanna coun-
