FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
Mr. WOLFLIN also introduced a bill [H. R. 258] to amend the first section of the act to create the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, approved February 22, 1859--[the district to include Spencer, Perry, Dubois, Pike, Warrick and Crawford.]
Mr. HEDRICK moved ineffectually to lay the bill on the table.
Mr. PEED opposed the bill as he had the other, and for similar reasons--legislating a Judge out of one circuit into another.
Mr. CAUTHORN supported the bill as supplementing the provisions of the bill , [H. R. 257] just passed the House. It was necessary to Vanderburg county and to enable the Judge living up in Spencer county to reach court by railroad. And then, the restrictions having been suspended for the purpose, the bill was finally passed the House of Representatives--yeas 76, nays 6.
