that there be three terms in each ycasUl

where twelve days are required make
it the imperious duty Of the Presideq
Judges to examine the reports OF

suitable forms are prepsV1A&f =

compel P5rtles to make up the plead
Iings during the first aud -ccoud, or ANY
other days OF the Term, without IefrcS
ence to the days ON which tn Causes
are set for trial; and direct that the

on the third DAY OF the term. UndrsA>,
our present practice the first days Of
the Court are oceup, d in the trial of
criminal causes requiring the almost
constant attention OF the Pros &C ut;ne
Attorney, b, which the gsand jury is
deprived Of his services aid not untrc-
|quenily detained several days longer
than would he otherwise necessary to
the full di,charge Of their duty. Have
the grand jury emFannel!ed on tho
urst day as at prese. I, that ti,e> NAV
have the assistance Of the Prosecutor.
and upon this plan it il believe that, in
ID !ition to the expenses Of the petit
jnrors for two da,s ;, one half OF the ex
|penscs ofthe grand jurie> may he saved
to the counties. The per diem allow
ances lor the ensuing Year to the Pro.
bate judges will amount to three thou
sand dollars, one thousand Of uhici,
may be saved to the state treasury. If
ter fully conper,satipg Circuit JUICES
for the additional iahour required Of
them, should you approve and adopt
these suggestions.
