people, only Of this section but of other portions of the
State. The suits generally very heavysome OF thin
occupying weeks of committeeman experience has shown
that Judge possibly do NIL the business. The
only means therefore, of securing the ends of justice
have two Judges one be vested with common-aw Ius
dction and the other with chancery Jurisdiction For Thu
latter post it is universally desired that Judge Robert
son be elected and restored his former post This
done hope 10 the Legislature reesiabsh the former

Citizens. II has been suggested hear that the duties
might be assigned to Judge from of the contiguous
circuits. This we regard but i'll calculated TO remedy the
evil We do think il possible tha with the present
heavy business here any Judge satisfactorily discharge
the duties here well in another circuit We hope that
Richmond will be allowed another Judgc-as ndpensaby
