General

Will Judge Cobb be removed without delay?
I make the enquiry as Cobbs has appointed the second Monday in December to hold a special term of court - in this county - in which there will be several litigated cases involving payments in conferate claims or money.  and the aggrieved parties are not able to take the cases to the Supreme Court.

Knowing the "animus" of Judge Cobbs, I would respectfully recommend that he be not allowed to hold the proposed term, or at least forbidden to try any litigated cases.

I am Sir
Very Respectfully
