writes to Librarian Ellington asking in
formation as to the act which is printed

bill. According to the printed law, the
criminal courts of Mecslenburg, CASTOR
and another county are thus abolished,

the criminal courts for Mecklenburg
county, only, being referred to, as was
intended by the drawer, Mr.. Mccall, of
Mecklenburg.
