Tho Ar. of Carpentry.

How many common figurative express
sions In our language are borrowed
from the art of carpentry may be seen
from the following sentence: "The
lawyer who filed the bill, shaved the
note, cut an acquaintance, split hair,
made an entry, got up a case, framed
an Indictment, impaneled a jury, put
them into a box, nailed a witness,
hammered a Judge and bored whole
court, all in one day, has since laid
down law and turned carpenter"

er News From The
Court House

The famous, at least as far as
Knox county courts are concerned,
case of the Newcastle Horse Co. VS..
A. j. Beatty is far from ended, liti-
cation seeming to have started anew
and with fresh vigor.
1t will be recalled that Judgment
was awarded the plaintiff by common
pleas and that defendant immediate
ly filed bill of exceptions to the de-
cision of Judge Blair.
The very unusual procedure of
voicing objections to the bill of ex-
ceptions has been invoked by plain
tiff, through its attorney, A. ]. Work
man. The objections follow;
First-Said so-called bill of excep-
tions does not contain all of the evi-
dence submitted in the trial of the
above entitled case.
Second-No motion for a new trial
was made by the defendant within
three days or at any other time after
the return of the verdict of the jury.
Third-No motion was made by
the defendant to set the Judgment
aside or to have costs retaxed after
rendition of judgment by the trial
judges.
