DESIRABLE LEGnsI.ATIOS.

1t has long since occurred to us and
probably to IL majority of the bar of
Texas that the service of copy of the
plaintiffs petition was " costly work OF
supererogation, and thRt justice de-
mands that the law originating such
service of petition should be eliminated
from our statutes. We imagine the
only reason of our departure from the
old established rule of the simple SER
vice of the citation or summons, unac-
companled by "A bulky copy of the pc
tition filed, WAS TO increase the fees OF
clerks in the then very sparseiy settled
counties Of our State and thus make
II an ihductment for men to accept
the POI .,.on, which in those times, at
.,est, was worth but little. Times have
since changed most materially, and
there now exists no necessity for sad.

ranted and useless cost.
The old English practice WAS TO su,

county, required him to command the
defendant to do justice to the com
plainant or appear IN the proper court

The more recent common law prac
ice has been still further slmplilied,
by doing away with this mandatory
letter from the King, and issuing Il
simple summons from the court hav.
ing jurisdiction 10 hear and pronounce
Judgment. We think this much the
better plan, and trust that IL will COM
mend itself to the Fifteenth Legisla'
ture.
There is no real necessity for re-
quiring the plaintiff in sequestra-
ton suit to give bond, which under our
System Of large exemptions, 1t Is often
quite difficult to do. Upon The oath OF
the plaintiff the writ should issue,
We feel persuaded TINT under such u
law very little, II any perjury would

be so eusy aud the proof so irresistible.
