Fall Term of Court.

The regular fall term of courj
will convene on Monday, the 31st
Of October, aud it is now probable
that the session will last for three
W eks. The criminal docket is
very light, there being only one
person in iail-Robert Wigfall,
indicted for assault and battery.
The civil calendar is, however
greatly congested and two full
weeks viii be required to clear it,
Even that may not suffice. The
courteous and very obliging clerk,
Mr.. w. B. Cogburn, has Informed
us that there are about twenty
five cases pressing for trial, some
of which will necessarily be very
long AID tedious. In the judgment
of the clerk a special term will
have to be held in order to relieve
the situation unless Tie approach
ing term of the Court of Common
Pleas is Ct at least two weeks idu-
ration.
