NO PREFERENCES IN COURT.
Judge Hagner Makes IA Sensible Rui'
ing In the Circuit Court.

After tho business in the Circuit Court had
been concluded, and just prior to adjournment,
Judge Hagner said as there were many men,
Der OF tho profession present, no would give
notice OF a change ho intended to mako at the
next term Of the court, az to assignment and
preference given to cases for trial. 1t had
been the custom, whore there was a non-resi.
dent plaintiff or foreign witnesses, to set the
CAGE for hearing on special day. so much OF
that had been done at the last term OF the
court as 10 almost completely preclude the
hearing OF any other cases. This he did not
think fair to the people of this community,
who had cases on the calender and were com.
PEELED TO soc the term expire without having q
chance TO be heard. He intended at the next
term OF tho court to try the experiment OF do
Ing without any special assignments, num-
Der Of cases would regularly be assigned for
trial rs they stood In numerical order on the
calendar, the attorneys knowing that could
watch the assignments and Judge about what
time the cases In which they were Interested
would be reached. They could then perfect
their arrangements TO havo their clients aud
witncssee, II non-residents, on hand when
their cases were called for trial. THIS course,
he thought, would be fair to all lltigants and
each would know when he would havo oppor.
tunity 10 be heard In court.
