 Mr. made the following remarks:

“: You are already, I presume, apprized of the calamity which has befallen our Brother, Judge Daniel, in the sudden and painful death of his wife. Our respect and regard for him, and the sincere sympathy we feel for him personally, as well as our sense of what is due to him as a member of this tribunal, will prevent the court from proceeding to-day with the business of the term. The funeral of Mrs. Daniel will take place to-morrow, the members of the court will attend. We shall therefore adjourn until Wednesday, to meet at the usual hour and with the duties of the court.”

January 5th, 1857.

Mr. remarked as follows:

“: Mr. Carroll, the Clerk of this court, has suffered a painful domestic affliction in the sudden and unexpected death of a son who had just grown up to manhood. The members of the court, as a mark of their respect and sympathy, propose to attend the funeral, which will take to-day at one o’clock. We shall, on that account, adjourn at half-past twelve.”
