to the grand jury at Austin, sug-

should make such an appeal to
the Legislature as would arouse
that body to the Importance of
passing a better criminal law.
1t may not be out of place to
state that one of the most ser
ious obstacles to the criminal
law is the ease with which contin-
uances are obtained. Speedy
