I1"' during which much business was despatched by llio indefatigable and amiable Judge O'Neall. No ( cases of special moment to the general reader were u disposed of on either the civ.I or crint'nnl side of the ,||c eourt, though ninny of importance to tlio parties ,|in litigant wi re adjudicated, and some in a way any- G|| thitig but agreeable. As ntaclt business remains a 1 upon the dockets, his honor has ordered an Kxtra j Court, to begin ott the third Monday in August |U-| next. With the same energy on the bench, and ((U|. the same cheerful co o|K ration on the part of the bar which marked the recent term, we think the jl;n Clerk's books will then be cleared of old cases. |JU| THE NEW mK INDEPENDENT, &C.
