Our County Court.

EDfToRs BALTIMORE CouSTY CxIox Having
served on the jury for the term Just ended, which
has kept the petit jury eight weeks from their
business At home, and having heard a great deal
said relative 10 our Court and IL cost TO the
county, think ]; duty which owes 20
the community 10 make some Suggestions toward
the remedy which We all 20 much desire 10 see
applied.
One OF the worst features Of our Court is the
delay Of civil business The lawyers make great
complaint aud their clients elanior loudly, that
their cases are delayed aud no one seems TO know
the eanss OF the delay. One thing cannot fail To
strike an attentive observer that IL, the manner
o. doing business. ] mean the delay caused By
The lawyers IN irifiag arguments on the points
OF law, and what evidence shall be permitted 10
go 10 the Jury--hour after hour being taken up
IN this manner, until the most trfing ease, which
should be decided In half an hour, may occupy
the court day OF more. Here le, me say, that
many eases are brought here which should be
settled by Magistrate, or Magistrates Court ~
We had them few ysars ago. whsn ease has
been decided, often q motion for new trial
must be heard, when, perhaps, there Il no cause
al all for such; aud thus the time Il wasted and
every one wonders why 90 little business l. done
The jury, which costs the county upwards 81 SEQ
per day. sometimes idle two or three days. and
when there 70 case ready, " counsel may think
proper, the " rcEulars' may be lcft out and tales
men nat'ia tla adding to the expenses OF the
county which II Is the duty fevefy one 10 keep
down TO the lowest point which the proper gov
eminent Of the county will admit o.
In talking over these matters by the gentle
men Of the jury" remarks and suggestions have
been made, some Of which are worth repeating
aud being acted or, thus: "thiFteen men woald
be much better grand jury than twen,y.three.
few members Of that body really doing the
business generally - "six men would do at
least - well as twelve for The petit jury, would
expedite business, save expense, aud do justice In
~ many cases !" 1.-TWO bailifs, after the grand
jury adlourns, would be sufficient - 1--WE are
imposed on and the business Of our court almost
doubled by having here's many removed case, "
ke., &c.'
Let the magistrate manage small eases Of then,
assault, &C., and give Us again the magistrates
court for cases Of the neat magnitude. This
would relieve the court, and, 10 some extent, les
sen our county expenses.
do not hear ons person speak 10 favor Of the
present plan o. asserting the juries; all wish
10 return 10 the old plan.
hops thess matters may be discussed Until
some needed reforms may Be the result.
