done. Mr.. Burke was opposed To the bill an

D their Judge instead of eecting judge who lie
0 the register to do all the work. Mr' Carter sa
: the law now allowed registers in certain cases
perform the duties Of judge and thought 1t WI
= proper to allow them 10 perform the duties wht
D the Judge Is temporarily absent. MIR, Thompso
said the practical workings of the law were as Il
