0r The Southern District Chancerv
Court commenced its first term in this
place on the eth ult., Vice. Chancellor
SMILEY. presiding. A large number of
eminent gentlemen Of the ''long robe'' are
present from distance in addition to our
local bar, and it is anticipated tina, the term
may continue until Tuesday Of next week
Business in this important branch of juris-
prudence is mani(esty on the increase in
this region; and, judging as we do that the
influence of equity in preventing the iniu-
ry which will arise at times from the ina d.
equacy of courts of common law to grant
relief, is of most beneficial tendency; we
are pleased that this Is the case.


We but echo the opinions of the bar
when we say that Chancellor Smiley has
given great satisfaction to all so far, and
bids fair TO make worthy successor TO the
eminent lurist who last presided in the
Ciancery Court here. The trying and
weighty la5ors o. the station considered.
we would at all times look with a. enient
eye upon occasional short comings and er-
rors; but if Chancellor Smiley is enabled
by health to prosecute his duties with the
industry and application which has so far
distinguished him here, we doubt not from
his evident abilities but that he will become
eminent as an equity jurist.
