week we're to Hon. j. B.
Daughtry, and the State cases
which he had disposed of during
the last 5 or 6 weeks were credit
ed to me. Now while | do not
care anything about this little err

spirit of fairness to Mr.. Daughtry
that for you in a report of one
weeks work to give me credit for
the valuable work which he has
done in 5 or 6 or probably s
weeks, and only give him credit
for the cases disposed of by me
in one week is an injustice which

to do him. Therefore / trust that
you will make the proper correc-
ton. Respectfully,
F. III. HOFFMAN.
Justice Hoffman was strictly
correct in ascribing the error re-
ferred to above to a mistake of
the printer. 1t seems that the
headings were the last thing about
the reports that were set and
when this was done, the 'intelIi-
gent compositor0 proceeded to
place each heading over the wrong
report on the galley . As he
says, such mistakes are common
TO all printing offices; and in some
instances they are very amusing,
while in others, quite exaspera-
ting.
