Courts in the spring fall term, could form Court vi An

Who il that forms the Court of Appeasl The udgcs or
men taken from the Chancery Circuits generally is un-

Bnt BY Increasing the present number of Judges 10 25
would lessen their districts, and give them
tend the Court Of Appeals If The task should be too great
might be better TO have but Circuit Court in the year
and allow two weeks 10 each By this means of ey.
tending information respecting the Court Appeals through.
out The State, the Judges and lawyers would have much
better opportunity for information concerning their official
business and the Judges would becue equality
and thus being members Of the Court Of Appeals would be
enabled 10 discharge their duty Judges OF the Chancey
Court with more precision The members Of the bar would
likewise have better opportunity o attending the Court Of
Appeals and of course it would be the Of stimulating
