Work of the Circuit Court.

Work of the Circuit Court
- Judge .Dunwiddie took up the circuit
court calendar on Monday and shook off
the records about half the actions that
were listed there. AS the result there
will be but few cases for trial this term,
none of which is liable to take any great
length of time. The Bank of Edgerton
case which was among the first on the
calendar, was some time since put over
until January, when Judge Dick was to
hear motion of the defendants to strike
from the calendar At the time this
action was agreed to the plaintiff s mo-
ton to assess the stock liability of the
stockholders in the bank was withdrawn.
This was the second citation of the de-
PENDANT stockholders to appear and show
cause why they should not be assessed
their statutory liability and in each in
stance the motion went down or was
withdrawn and the judge not asked to
pass upon the question.
The following court proceedings were
had:
