Quick Work.
George W. Maxwell is a short-hand reporter from San Francisco. He came up to report the Richmond-Albion testimony. He has selected the following gentlemen to aid him in reducing it to long-hand: James W. Smith, E. R. Dodge, Alexander Wilson, J. M. Crawford and Ben. Sanders. The peculiar feature of the job is the fact that Mr. Maxwell reads to the entire six copyists at one and the same time from as many portions of the testimony. The whole day's work was up by 12 o'clock last night. Under this arrangement a copy of the testimony will be ready for either side by the opening of the Court each morning. Taken altogether it is pretty rapid and satisfactory work.
