In she point Of economy nothing will

cost as much. and clerks and lawyers fees
will be as high in the circuit as in the
county court. The county Judge being
always present and having some idea
of the probable duration of the pend ing
causes can and does SO arrange the
docket that the people loose much less
time in performing their duties as wit
nesses than they would do where the
judge has no immediate supervision of the
docket as is he case with circuit judges
Under the present system crimiua
cases ate tried without delay, under
the proposed system prisoners will have
to lay in Jail several months at a heavy
expense, annually costing the state more
than the difference. The best evidence
Of the efhc iency and popularity of The
county courts Is the fact that nine tenth.
of the suits are Instituted in the county
court. During the year 1871 there were
344 suits brought in the county
court of Shenandoah county and but 81
in the circuit court. fourteen of which
were instituted by nonresident lawyers
and almost half of the remainder were
suits in which tse county court had nc
