Wake County, NC - The North Carolina Standard Newspaper, 1861 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Excerpted and transcribed by Marianne Nichols Ordway for the USGenWeb Project Archives] The North Carolina Standard Newspaper Raleigh: Wednesday, June 26, 1861 Board of Claims: One of the most important acts of the convention relating to the financial interests of the State, was the organization of a Court for the investigation and settlement of all claims against the State, growing out of the war, and the appointment last week of Messrs. B.F. Moore of Wake, S.F. Phillips of Orange, and P.H. Winston, Jr. of Bertie, as the Judges. The appointments are entirely satisfactory to all we believe. State Flag: On Saturday last, it will be seen by the proceedings of the Convention, Mr. Whitford of Craven, presented his report, and a beautiful design, as described by our reporter, for a State Flag. The ordinance passed unanimously. Supreme Court Rulings: In Cooper vs. Cherry, from Bertie, declaring that there is no error in the decision of the Superior Court. In state ex. rel. Willey v. Eure, from Gates, affirming the Judgment. In Burn v. Nichols, from Bertie, dismissing the bill with costs. In Floyd v. Gilliam, in equity, from Bertie; the injunction should be continued and an account ordered. __________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
