Judicial Circuit, andthe big leather saddle-bags1 which carried thelawyers papers and belongings are in existenceto-day; but by 1849 wheels could be used withsome comfort in traveling, and when Lincolnresumed his professional duties a procession ofbuggies and carry-alls marked the progress of thecourt.
