Forty dollars is all tbat is left of |
tbe miDv thousands appropriated by J 1
j tbe last Legislature for tbe expenses ;
of special courts in tbe counties of |
tbe State, and there are still severs! j
Judges to pay. The trouble with :
the machinery is that we have too j
many lawyers who have to be sup- j
ported at the public expense. And j
it is a known fact tbat our courts is j
tbe most expensive of our machinery [
of government that the taxpayers |
have to bear. There are various tea- |
sons why this is so. Without going j
into detail we mention that there is j
too lruch leniency on the part of Or- i
cuit Judges towards attorneys and j
litigants in the disposition of cases, j
In other words, there is too much |
waste of time, chief among which we (
mention that in many instances, the j
business of the Sessions Court* is j
finished in a short time?a day or j
two, say. Yet under the present law j
the Court of Common Pleas adjourns j
and the jury panel is dismissed, j
This is a hardship upon the jurors for i
as a rule, they make arrangements to |
stay away from home for a week and 1 '
to do so they have gone to consider- j
able expense, in besides the county > ;
and Stite is put to expense of plying
salaries between the adiournment
of the Court of Sessions and
the convening of the Common Pleas 1
Court. The law should be so amend- 1
ed that the Common Pleas Court can
he called immediately after the adjournment
of the Court of Sessions
*? nr.lar tha nlrl 1 AW Then the
~ ? I
same jurors can proceed with the j.
business without any loss of time.
Considerable time will be saved by ^
this change, back to the old rule, which
would expedite the business ; n
and lighten the burden of taxation.
