AFTERNOON SESSION.
JUDICIAL CIRCUITS.
Mr. FOWLER offered the following:
Whereas, There is great inequality in the labor required of the Circuit Judges in this State,
And Whereas, Many bills are now pending before this General Assembly for the creation of new circuits,
And Whereas, It is inexpedient to create new and additional circuits and entail additional expense upon the State, if the labor of the present Judges can be so equalized as to enable the present Circuit Court Judiciary to transact the business of the Circuit Courts without delay, and with reasonable dispatch; therefore be it
Resolved, That a committee of nine Senators, holding over, be appointed by the Chair to serve without compensation, to take into consideration the inequality of the Circuit Court districts, and to redistrict the State for judicial purposes, and as far as can be to equalize the labor in the several Judicial Circuits of the State and that said committee make report to the next General Assembly by bill or otherwise.
It was made the special order for Monday at 11:30 a.m.
