mitt@e reported adversely ON the
bill! to increass the jurisdiction OF jus
tees, and the chairman, Mr.. Nc
I~utyre, said this was done because OF
the characte OF the men filling the po-
sition, OF Justices of the peace. We re-
greet this action. as we think their iuris-
dictiou should be increased. 1t would
be 4 convenience to litjgants. and would
prevent a great deal of litigation, rs
with respectable jurisdiction a better
class OF magistrates would be selected,
and often, as it used to be in Virginia,
cases would be merely submitted to the
Judgment of the magistrate, and settled
without suit.
