Show Let HEft LArsF. Tho term of tho supremo court of Utah has lapsed. That's what'B tho matter. Wo are informed in-formed that yesterday.tho chief justice of tho Territory, when approached on tho matter, intimated that ho didn't know anything about when tho term should havo commenced ; that justice Hawley said court should meet one day and ex-jusMcc Strickland said another. How is it ? Why is it? Wherefore is this thus? is the cry. And tho answer is Waiting for Merrill's hill to become law. Wero the supremo court to meet, there is no earthly reason why Haw-kins' Haw-kins' bonds should not bo released, as tho supremo court of the United States decided his case. But evidently there is a determination to hold on to this last relic- of tho barbarism of judge McKeao's illegal juries. However, as tho term has lapsed, in tho language of an eminent jurist, "Let her lapse." |
