Important Court Orders.

The Circuit Court for Carroll county has
filed two orders with the Clerk of the Court
this week. One was made upon information
to the Court that certain papers on file in the
Clerks Office had disappeared from the office,
notably trustees bond. whereby certain IN,
fants will lose a large amount OF money, and
that the practice had been for many years to
allow any person to examine papers IN the
office and make extracts therefrom.
Under decision of the Court OF Appeals
in the case of Belt VS.. Prince Georges county,
no one was allowed to examine and handle
papers on file in a Clerks office, and the Leg
isature in 1898 passed an act permitting at
torneys law and their authorized represen-
tatives to examine and handle papers and
other records.
The order of the Court signed by Judges
Jones, Revell and Thomas, is as follows
ut is ordered by the CircuitsCourt for Carroll
county this 9Th day of March, 1902, that the CLERK
of said Court be and he is hereby ordered ana oil
rected not to permit any person, except attorneys
at-law or their duly authorized representatives to
inspect the records or indexes in his Office but that
such examination or inspection shall be made only
by the Clerk or his deputies Except attorneysat
laws or their duly authorized representatives) sub
ject to the payment of such fees the law presbes
for such services"
The Court (Judge Thomas) subsequently
filed another order, directing the return of all
papers to the Clerks office, and prohibiting
any but attorneys to take Equity papers from
the office, and only one set at a time, and not
to keep them longer than five days.
The attorneys have been busy this week re-
turning papers and having their return credited
to them.
