A fragmentary survey recounts court life with Clerk Sparke as the steady memory of the second court, notes on forger Sam and sentences, and contrasts writers like Wickoff and Bennett. It includes anecdotes of judges, lawyers, and a resignation letter from a Arkansas judge, and ends with a Wilmington florist boasting a prolific Marechal Neil rose bush.
