U It Some weeks ago a case came up in one of our justice courts, where the defendant asked for a change of venue. The law says in such cases the change shall be granted, one change to each of the parties to the suit, if desired. And further, that it shall be to the nearest justice, unâ€" less said justice is of kin to either party, or is sick, or out of town, or is “interested in the event of‘ the suit as counsel or otherwise.” The question was whether the nearest justice was interested. The justice before whom the case was brought claimed that he was, though he af- terwards became satisfied he was not. 7 Now, who should decide? In this instance the justice decided that the nearest justice was inter- ested and so sent the case to the next nearest justice, who was out of town, and then he held the papers and fixed the time, several days ahead,.when the next nearest justice would hear the case, and when he came home handed him the papers. .in the case, and the defendant, who asked ”for the change, refused m recâ€" ognize the next nearest justice juris- dict'ieu and let the case go by de- fault. and then took 'an appeal to the circuit court. Hence according to this decision in the case to which we allude.

But of course it has become old and out.â€" ofâ€"date, and like an old family horse kept for the good it has done. Mon~ day he found a copy of a new edi- tion. the let, we think. a stout oc- tavo of 1216 pages for $5.00 and he took it. as it is one of the inflexible rules of his life to buy a new edition of Haydn once in forty years. and he intends to ohaerve it as long as he lites. The book is one of the best of the kind in the language and should be in every reference library. New time last Sunday. don't get. left.
