actually attended the court by himself or his deputy, and by order of the ju transaction of business, each and every day charged; and the clerk made affid ary 27, 1850, that the account of $3,620 was just and true, and that the same had paid. The affidavit is at the bottom of the account, which states that the co stantly kept open, and business transacted daily during the time mentioned, (72 clusive of Sabbaths, and the number of days previously charged and paid for.

The district judge (M. W. Brown) held courts during the same time in two tricts, to wit: East and West Tennessee, so that it was impossible that the ban should have been actually open and in session during the whole period. Ti viously charged and paid-188 and 146, total 334 days-was the time durin court was actually open, and the judge present.

The clerk and marshal had each rendered six semi-annual emolument acco the same period, in which each of them claimed a per diem only for the days whe was actually in session, and for which they then made their charges and were p ingly. These emolument accounts were sworn to as the amount of all their e and, in some of the affidavits, the clerk added "nor am I entitled to any emolun period therein mentioned, other than those therein specified.”

Certified by the judge on the account as follows:

Examined and allowed.
