Information has been received here of an unpleasant difficulty between Chief Justice Chase and the bar of Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Chief Justice states that he was shown what purported to be a protest drawn up and signed by many of the leading members of the bar. On the opening of the court he addressed the members of the bar present, stating that the court had seen the protest, and considered it a contempt, and that the clerk would be ordered to serve upon each member of the bar who signed it, and a rule to show cause why they should not be silenced until they purged themselves of the contempt. This caused much confusion among the lawyers, and they left the court to confer as to the course proper for them. The calendar was then called, and the lawyers whose names were in the protest were not allowed to appear in their cases.
