tho United statcs Supreme Court is already

incumborcd with great expense and serious
loss Of time; (2) the United States District

for Courts Of Appeal located in all tho Cir

tho lower courts. Tho Supreme Court, too,
would DO infinitely relieved by conining Its
jurisdiction to writs Of error when tho sum
involved exceeds $4,000, and leaving 1t to
the consideration mainly Of constitutional.

Of Mr. MoCaAnx's bill are as well-concoived
