Show REMARKS 6P JUDGE REENWbOD. In OrJen Court Toncbrninff the Burkholdcr Petition for Mod- ification of Decree. BY toe court;! ' lu tbe matter of (ho application' cf Oommadore D. Blirkbolder tor a modification ot a de.ureo heretofore entered, it has oocne to tbe uotiae of the Court Indlreotly that rertaln parties par-ties havo signed a petition aaklug the oourt popslblp to tyvor this application. applica-tion. Tbo Oourt hm uot seen tbeso petitions and don't know tbo parties who havo signed them. I rocolved bore lust nlht, howovor, a Jargo on-vnlopn on-vnlopn with papers enclosed which no doubc ia the petition; but I have not looked into it and do not want to see It, for the reason that If this matter bad corao to tbe oouit bere tbeso peoplo who signed this petition would be cited bero for punishment. I think these people havo signed this petition in Ignorance iguoraut of tho ojutempt tbey havo commuted against the oourt. I want Mr. Burk-holder Burk-holder and all tho peoplo to under stand that they cannot come to this oourt, or reaoh this oourt by any baok door. And a letter nddrosaod to tbo oourt from any Individual, concerning any matter tho court has under consideration is a contempt of court ; and ospoolnlly when It is signed by oltlzens; and 1 am Jed to beUve that some otrtbsse citizens are-good are-good citizens. Mr. Clork. you send that (handing tbo envelope to tbo Clerk) back to box No. 35 at Cedar City. Tin oourt has not looked at It, or opeued It, and does uot want to look at it, for tho reason that if ho had, ho would be compelled to bring every ono of them right bore and brinb them before the oourt. I blame Mr Burkbolder more than the peoplo who signed It: but I am cor-talnly cor-talnly surprised ut the attempt of the people to try to reaoh tbn court by suob meanH. If tho oourt is to bo renobod it must not be by privnto letter let-ter or baok door conversation ; it must be In opon court."
