The old case of Edw. G. Miller VS.. John
Rambo, Joined in 1897, and which has been
responded to as "ready'' by Mr.. Swack-
hamer, counsel for Mr.. Miller. But it
will probably await the convenience OF
Justice Garrison for trial.

which was tried at the last term, was Sec
ond, and Mr.. Summerill reported it ready,
with request for reference to trial in Cham
bers.
The case of Lichfeld vs. the W. J. & S.
