Abstract
Incloses the commissions with certificates that no person named therein has qualified; thinks it necessary that others should be appointed in place of those who have refused to act, especially as it requires three judges to constitute a court; has heard no opinion as to the legality of issuing another commission in the present state of the old one; Solomon Wright has been made clerk of their county court; he would doubtless be willing to accept the post of-clerk of the special court.
