introduced by Mr.. Mulbury.

The present Constitution also vests
in the Supreme Court power to re-

its of their jurisdiction and to compel
them to perform their duties under

tho sainc time not to diminish or dc
ny the right Of appeal when TIL

appealable amount to the Supte,n,
Court. IL becomes necessary to estab
lish intermediate courts Of appeal.
The establishment Of these eourti
was no novelty, or experiment; pre-
cedents were found for them In th,
Judiciary Systems of England, Of the
different States Of the Union and q
tho United States.
There ian striking analogy between
the appellate jurisdiction Of tho Cir.
cult Courts OF The United States and
the Courts Of Appeal under the new
Constitution.
The Judgment Of o Circuit Court Of
the United States Is Anal, both on the
law and facts Of the case when the
amount in dispute does not exceed
$4,000. Tho Judgment Of u Court Of
Appeals, under the new Constitution
on m appeal from u District Court oil
the State, Ia also final, both on Che
law and facts Of the case, when the
amount in dispute docs not exceed
$1,000, exclusive Of interest.
If, therefore, there be any well
founded objection to tho appellate
jurisdictioh Of tho Courts Of appeal
under the now Constitution, tho same
objection exists in full force against
tho appellate Jurisdiction of tho Cir
cult Courts Of the United States.
IL the appealable amount to the
Supreme Court Of the State, under
the Constitution, be insufficient to
ehhblc that court to consider aud dis.
pose of the appeals before 1t, within
n reasonable delay, then that amount
will have to DO further increased, aud
the appellate jurisdiction Of the

pie, and no just cause of complaint
can be urged against 10.
There can be no reasonable obec-
tons to the amendments whicl, the
Constitutional Convention of 1870
made to the judiciary system of 1869.

speedy trial of civil and criminal On.

r'sdiction, and compelling them to
perform their duties under the Con
stitution and laws of the State.
4. There cnn be no reasonable
objection to n more speedy trial of
appeals and more speedy admins
tration of Justice In the Supreme
Court Of the State.
These are the amendments made
by the Convention to the judiciary
system of 1859, and they have re-
ceived the emphatic approval of both
The people and the bar.
