A communication n the Mount Ciemens Patriot says : "TheCounty Court in this counly lias nlready dispatchec! more business than would have been done in the Circuit Court in four year, and at veiy trifling expense lo the Tnx-pnyers. The county has had QQ Jurors to pay, as tfioy would haVB had to do in the Circuits. True,the parties have been obliged to pay nll these expenses, and who besides ought to pay it ï There lias been fehlered, irl theCounty Court, forly-five c-tes, of which, f.rlv cases have bsen d'sposed of - can any one believe ihat forty cai:s?s in ihc Circuit Court would have been Hispoged of in thit time - or even ir. four years? Have they not been as justly, and inevery respect as ccrractly dispospd of ns they would have been in iheCircuii Court?
