There will be no more cour,
here till January. Judge Simon
on Saturday finished his fall
term here and in the thirty OF
less days had SO nearly cleared
the docket that next term will
be comparatively light unless
litigation breaks out afresh and
III more aetfv manner. AT
together it is stated that
Judge Simon signed m ore than
ninety judgments during this
brief term and he went away
with only one undecided among
this that had been submitted to
him. Term of court was a very
satisfactory one to all concerned.
There were nc lazy days. The
court meant business and the
cases were disposed of che after
another with CELEBRITY that was
gratifying to client and LAWYER,
The consequence is that in jan
uary when the court opens there
will not be piled up ahead of it
a big and immovable docket the
bottom of which cannot be seen.
There will be a criminal term
IN January and the number of
cases on it is not large. As a
matter of fact the winter sea-
sion of Court will move along
as smoothly as one could wish
and mainly because of the man
ner in which the business of the
last two terms has been dispos-
ed of.
