The Kalida Venture

The District Court, was held in this place on the 8th inst. Present, Judge Corwin, Supreme Judge and Judges Hall and Palmer, of the Common Pleas. Judge Metcalf was in town, but his health was such that he was not in Court. The case of Finney vs. Ladd, or Crim. Con. was affirmed, and the other business of the Court disposed of as far as practicable. The case of Morrison vs. Cory, from Hancock District Court, was argued here by James Gumberts, Esq., on one side, and Cooper K. Watson, Esq., on the other, and was finally reserved for decision in Bank.
We have attended several District Courts in this Circuit and must say that we are much pleased with the bearing and appearance of our Judges.-- They form a very intellectual body of men. Judge Corwin, who presides, is, we believe, the youngest Supreme Judge on the Bench, but he is eminently well qualified for the station. On the bench he uniformly manifests true dignity, united with genuine kindness and urbanity, which added to his high accomplishments as a sound and able lawyer, make him an honor to his position. From such judges, as he and his associates, the public are safe in their trust, or the pure and able administration of enlightened justice; and we infinitely prefer the Judiciary of the new system--the Judiciary of the People, to that of the old Constitution, when favor, not merit, won station.
