RECORD OF COURTS

Owing to the fact that there is an ale most unprecedented congestion of cases on the docket of the circuit court, there is a strong probability that Judge Coleman will call an adjurned term of court for the last three weeks in March No annonce- ment to this effect has yet been made. but it is now being considered by Judge Coleman, and the order is likely to be enterel any day.
 The present term of the circuit court will e9d Saturday, March 3, and all dur ing th4 session the docket has been crowd ed with cases. Judge Coleman has ex- peditei matters in every possible way. and hhs cleared away many cases, but the nul lnber of new cases filed in the court has bien large and therefore there has been ftle relief afforded.
 JudgE Coleman will go to Walker and Winstdn counties and hold court there the first three weeks of March. Those coun- ties fotm part of his circuit, and he has already announced that he will hold those session. It is his desire, however, to have the adjourned term in Jefferson county held during his absence, so that many cAses may be settled which would remain bn the docket otherwise.
 Gover4 4nr Jell1s is said to have already promised that if this adjourned term of court isl called. he will instruct Judge Alston, he supernumerary judge, to pre- side. Nh tiers having progressed so far, 1t is exrected by lawyers interested that Judge Coleman will make the definite an- nouncems Int within the next few days.
 Serious delay, causing the loss of an en- tire dayl was experienced yesterday in organizingla jury In the first division of the criminal court for the trial of capital cases during the present week.
 Forfeitu1es were ordered taken against four jurynIen who were reported as hav- ing been ptoperly summoned by the sher- if, but who failed to answer to the call of their names in the court room yester- day morning These jurymen will be called lpon to make their explanations to the court later in the week.
 In oider to obtain the full quota of iurymel for the week, it was necessary to draw additional names out of the jury box in this way additional time was lost, and the jury was not fully drawn and organized until late in the afternoon. No cales were taken np in the first divis- ion of the court, on that account. It is probable the case of Charles Coun- ter, charged with murder, will be taken up by the court for trial this morning.
