The January term OF the circuit court al
Paw Paw has been postponed for two weeks al
the desire or the bar, and to enable Judge
HAYES to attend to professional business IN
the court OF appeals, at Albany. "-KalamaZoo
Telegraph
We clip the above from the Kalamazoo Tele-
graph OF January 9, 1878. We were somewhat
surprised at the statement that the postpone
ment was ''at the desire of the bar OF this
county. In order to learn the truth Of the mat
ter we cent to B. F. Heckert, Prosecuting At
torney, for information, and from him learned
II the criminal business would suffer by post
poning the January term. to which Mr.. Heckert
says lie replied that the criminal business
would not suffer so much as the civil business
Of the term would. as the Jury had already
been summoned, and the parties to suits in
court bad made preparations for trial. the ex-
expense Of which would be dead loss to the
public, as the work would all have to be done
over. From Mr.. Williams, the County Clerk,
word came that he had received communlca-
ton from Judge Halves, preemptorily adjourn
ing the term for two weeks, and this after the
Jury had been summoned and the expense
therefor been incurred.
AS we understand the matter, the entire bar
Of this county, with but single exception, was
anxious to have the term held at the time APP
pointed.
In speaking OF the large number OF cases on
the January calendar of the Supreme Court,
the Cass County Republican says: +" This is
the largest number ever on Tor trial at any one
term, and doubtless many OF them can be as
crlbed to the system OF having cheap men for
Circuit Judges In this particular doubtless
Michigan voters save at tho splgot and waste
at the bunghole."
There is no doubt but large number OF the
circuits have cheap men Tor circuit judges
But then, would q salary of "ten thousand q
year" improve the peculiar fitness and qualif-
cations OF the judge who presides over the
circuit court Of Cass county or, Of the acct
dent who holds court in this circuit; We APP
prehend not.
AS the matter now stands the judicial dis
trict composed OF Cass and Bernen counties
does not contain within their boundaries any
better material than they have now on the
bench and as to this and Kalamazoo counties,
the judicial material is rather scarce-the very
best being unavailable for the reason that the
quaclsish adventures Will spend more time and
money and whisky to secure the one thousand
five hundred dollars than the really competent
men.
As the case now stands, the salaries are
really too large. The proper way to bring
about much desired reform in this matter
would be to break up the system of very small
circuits and enlarge them by combining three
or four into single district. This would en-
large the area from which to select properly
competent men for judges, who could be paid
fair salaries without increasing tho burdens OF
the people
So long as the circuits are cut up and divid-
ed, apparently for the purpose of furnishing
moro places for impecunious, pettifogging le-
gal shysters, there is but small chance for i'm
provement.
