Orange County Court.
December Term, 1899

HALRK DARLING, States Attorney.
MARGARET T.. CHESTNUT, Reporter.
County court opened at Chelsea at 10 a.
m. last week Tuesday and adjourned Sat
urday morning. The term was the short
est for years. The jury was kept until
Thursday morning IN the expectation
that few state cases would be tried. But
the respondents cit her pleaded guilty or
obtained continuance, hence the iurymen
and Landlord Barnes we're disappointed
in their ex pectations. The taxpayers can
not find any fault, however. The total
amount OF the witness certificates Issued
by the states attorney for the term was
but o. .0S, against s690.i0 for the last term.
On the evening OF the first day OF the
term, the Orange County Bar association
held its usual meeting, President Farm
ham presiding. AppIeciative sketches
upon Hon. Heman A. White and George
A. Dickey, Esq, recently deceased mem
bers, were read by the president, followed
by remarks by Bros. Boyden, Stow, Deni-
son, Harvey and Judge MunsoD, An ad-
dress wss then delivered by Hale X. Oar
ling who took for his topic " The Negotia-
bic Instruments Law The speaker gave
q brief history OF the statute OF that name,
which is now in force in fifteen states and
which is intended to embody all the law
upon the subject of prOmissnry notes and
bills of exchange. A comparison of this
law With the existing law in Vermont was
made with some detail and some OF the
arguments for and against the measure
considered. Following the address was a
brief discussion OF the subject matter by
other mem bers, v hich might have been
prolonged Dut for the fact that the elec
trio lights suddenly went out leaving the
room In total darkness, save for the occa
siOnal flashes generated by the brethren
on being thus compelled to feel their way
cut OF the building.
We give below the disposition OF the
cases, those not named being continued
