[Franklin, Fayette and Union Counties to constitute the Thirty-seventh Judicial Circuit and Decatur and Rush the Eighth Circuit.]
Mr. BELL favored its passage.
Mr. SPANN would probably have introduced this bill had he been in his seat at the time. The Senator from Allen and Whitly [Mr. Bell] introduced it by request. Mr. S. was satisfied it is a measure very much needed, and hoped to see it passed.
The bill passed the Senate by yeas, 41; nays, 0.
