The foregoing cases disposed of include !
many of long standing in the court. and |
the recording Of these papers will make
over half a million of words to be entered
before the next session of the court As |
Will be seen the civil cases mentioned in |
volve hundreds of thousands of dollars |
worth of property, the rights to which the |
United States court was called upon to |
adjudicate, as between plaintiff and de- |
PENDANTS. Judge Speer expects to hold |
another term of the court here in April, |
but unless there is a large accumulation |
of business, it will be a very brief one.
for ii will take him but a brief period to |
dispose of what is now pending.
