"THE CAUCASIAN took the trouble
to ask some leading lawyers Of the
State who were in Raleigh q few
, days ago their opinion OF Judge Rob
inson. Among them were ex- Lieut.
> Governor Steadman, en-J Judge Mer-
!. rimon, Mr.. W. W. Jones and Mr.. J.
. p. Arthur. These gentlemen are
we'll known members of the Ashe-
Vile bar, and all attended the cour,
q there At which Judge Robinson pre-
q sided. They were unanimous in
their expression of their apprecin
ton Of the dignity, courtesy and
!. gentlemaply bearing OF Judge Hob.
% inson. They were seen one Rt time
!, and not one had single word Of
criticism to offer. On the contrary
a they were disposed to express warn
!, commendation, aad without ercep
: ton they intimAted that there va
q nothing bnt rottenness IN the re
I ports that were sent oct from Ora
