Vevay Reveille – 11 Jan 1877 – Page 2, Column 3

Circuit Court

Judge Berkshire intended starting for Vevay last Monday, in order that he might open Court on Tuesday morning, but, suffering severely from a sore throat, his Physician forbade him doing so. The wires being down above Rising Sun, he could not telegraph to Vevay, but sent a letter stating his condition, which reached here Wednesday afternoon about 2 o’clock. He requested the Attorneys to appoint a temporary Judge. They selected Hon. Henry A. Downey, who immediately occupied the “bench,” and pushed along the business like a veteran.

Judge Berkshire arrived Wednesday evening, but not feeling well, and finding Mr. Downey getting along finely, he did not take the “bench” until about 10 o’clock Thursday morning.

Geo. S. Pleasants was admitted to the Bar.

Maj. J. S. Jelly, of Rising Sun, is attending Court. By the way, we are pleased to notice that he has a good practice in this Court.

The following is the Petit Jury for this Term: R. B. Smock, Lorin W. Mallet, John W. Brown, Joshua Means, Robert Miller, Samuel Stewart, Cornelius Hizer, Charles M. Cole, Alexander Tilley, Morgan Carver, John F. McCreary, Charles L. Summers.
