The Superior court Bii..

The bill for Superior Court now pend
ing may not be just what is needed, but
some measure of relief to litigants is ne.
cessary. 1t is one of the plainest duties
OF our State government to do something
for those 10 HON justice is denied by de-
lave in the Court of Appeals. Several
hundred cases which were argued long
ago, remain undecided. In many of them
only one of the Judges Who heard the ar
gumeut is left on he bench; in some eases
not even one. Whatever ought TO be, ex-
perience shows that the Court cannot keep
with the current business, let alone gain :
ing on the old cases, without sacrificing
quality for quantity, which is ruinous in
= Court of Appeals. Meanwhile all the
labor and expense in the argument of
these old cases and all the help it could
have given the Court are lost, aud this
kind of loss will be incurred everytims
the Court does not decide case promptly
after hearing 10.
