Gov. WickliiTo to our State Legislature:
/ would call you attention to the imperious
necessity of rcmodeling the Judiciary system
of the State. Many Of the Judicial Districts
are so small, and litigation therein SO light,
that six weeks of time is ample for the Judge
to transact all the business of his District.
This should not be the Districts should be
enlarged, the salaries Of the Judges increased
in proportion, SO as to command the best talent.

present organization of the District Courts

in many(of the judicial Districts, that there
can be no hope Of ever cleaning the dockets Of
