This court, Judge W. P. BOND, presiding, has been in session during the present week and owing to the large amount of business to be transacted, drew thither from day-to-day a large concourse of interested parties and spectators. Among the members of the bar in attendance we noticed the following distinguished gentlemen: W. F. TALLEY, Attorney General; Messrs. Humphreys and Pulliam of Somerville; Thomas R. SMITH, of Memphis; Alex CAMPBELL, of Jackson; Calvin JONES, H. C. MOORMAN; Thomas AVERY, Memphis; and William H. STEPHENS. The case of the State vs. Cross was continued until the next term of the court, the defendant showing that he was not ready for trial, owing to the absence of important witnesses; the case of the State vs. Parks was also continued. The following are the names of the Grand Jurors: Milton CROSS, foreman, William NUCKOLLS, B. F. USSERY, R. S. CARTER, V. TREESE, J. B. WILKINSON, Robert CLINTON, John CRAWFORD, Thomas E. MCCLENDON, Burrel SAULS, W. S. CARSON, W. R. HOWELL, John W. WILKES; B. F. MYERS, officer. The court will probably adjourn on next Monday; however, there are a number of very important cases pending, one of which, by change of venue, was brought up from Shelby county and involves the settlement of $30,000.
