The LAW CoURTs-JUDGK EpMoNDs.-The Cir
cult Court will open on the l7th of March, when
Judge Edmonds will take his seat upon the Bench
as successor to Judge Kent--the late occupant
The appointment of Mr. Edmonds seems to give
satisfaction 10 the profession, generally speaking
but he will have to contend with difficulties be-
fore he acquires that deserved popularity upon the
Bench which distinguished his predecessor. There
are some heavy cases upon the calendar of this
Court for the ensuing term-among which, in the
Oyer and Terminer branch, we may mention that
Of Polly Bodine-the venue in her case being
changed to this County. This trial, with
some heavy civil cases, which have been
left in arrear, will require much asssduity

thirst for litigation is on the increase. The pay Of

restrictions, sHch as will prevent the calendars
from being flooded with suits got up on mere spec
uation-too many Of which even now swell the
calendars. The law courts are now driving a
"thriving business"
