| siye Jurisdiction over these remedies known
| in the law as extraordinary.
The proviso in the third section does not
reach the case. In fact, there is nothing in
it that did not exist under the constitutional
| provision, as one court could not interfere
| with the functions of another court of con-
current jurisdiction, but it was found that
| multitude OF cases arose in which this
provision did not apply.
The duties to be performed by the Judge
of the Superior District Court in granting
| iniunctons, mandamuses and quo warranto
are delicate, and htigants in such cases
| usually have much personal feeling IN the
matter, SO the judge is. almost sure to be
| censured by one of the parties. But there
| is a watchful Supreme Court always ready
| to correct any error OF the judge, besides,
when one judge has orig inal jurisdiction IN
| all cases involving the issuing and trial OF
! all suits in great city like this, when they
are daily applied for. he becomes familiar
| with the law applicable to such cases, and
is better able to administer 1t.
| 1t can not be said that the law creating
the Superior District Court is itself ohjec-
tionable. This is not strongly urged, and
certainly is not well founded. If there be
any well founded objection to the manner
| in which it is administered, CT to the judge,
which do not think there can be. the way
to remedy the evil is not by repeating the
law but to remedy the evil where it exists:
am. therefore, opposed to the passage OF
| this bill, and recommend tlati it be lal1 on
| the ia BILE indefinitely.
| Respectfully submitted.
