a notorious fact that they will not stand

who is not pronounced advocate Of

the case comes to be of small consequence
in public estimation. when it may be and
often is reversed by some distant judge who
never saw the jury or heard witness. The

often decides on minute points, sometimes
of mere practice. which non. professional
persons can scarcely regard except wiothi-

every community should regard its local

with which the people should select their

the prisoner has any money must flow on to
more distant courts for the only real and
