Judgment in Ten Days Act Affects Pending Suits

During the last session an act was passed signed by the Governor requiring Justices of the Peace and Aldermen to render judgment within ten days after all evidence is heard. Previously the limit was twenty days. The change should not be forgotten by those with suits pending or planning business. The latest war news notes Turkish bombardment along the Danube, Russian advances in Armenia, and uncertainty about other European powers. England prepares for emergency measures, with Lord Derby's note in response to Gortschakoff, while Russia gives no reply. Regardless, European war likely boosts American business, with prices rising for staples and shipping costs firm, and gold inching higher.
