,eon,e have any idea of the immense
ut If business that was disposed of
:, the term Of the United States court
-r,ieh practically closed Tuesday. The
,,rt however, will be adjourned from
saturday to Saturday, being kept open in
any business of Importance comes up.
when Judge Emory Speer returned to
,,.,on he left the dockets of both the dis
,-f,t and the circuit courts clear, with the
.voeptjon of a few cases which had to be
.,rtipued for good legal reasons. The
dsnatch of business was something re-
,,arkable considering the fact that the
oourt was in session only sixteen working
days.
Judge speer, however, always pushes the
work of his court as rapidly as it can be
done consistently with the ends of justice,
and the proper determination of the
ogestions of law and equity which come
before him, and by dispensing with many
unnecessary details enables the court to
accomplish a great deal within a short
time. 4 summary of the work done at
this session will prove interesting.
