gagged In maxim searches OF rcal.cstate titles. AS
rsi step to that end the Surveyor OF the District,
is said, Will vaca te his rooms the ground MOOR
and 90 up 10 the former deeds officer next 10 the
roof. The rooms adjoining the present once Of the
Recorder occupied 10y the clerk for the es and
records OF old CASES. and are nted up for that rur
pose. The question arises whether these nes shall
be removed to the rooms vacated by the Surveyor or
whether the Recorder shall place his clerks in those
rooms, somewhat separated form his main Office
The clerk objects TO moving unless he can get one
OF the rooms Immediately above his public onice
and now occupied by the Bar Association, for the
reason that he wishes connection by "dumb
waiter" In order TO saw running up and down stairs
whenever paper Is wanted AS an alternative II Is
suggested that the Recorder OF Deeds and the Reg.
lister OF wills, now nj opposite ends Of the building
shall exchange onlccs, which would bring the Re-
corier next TO the vacant rooms he wants. All Of
these changes threaten TO he troublesome and ex-
pensive and may possibly result ia some conflict OF
authority between the Chief Justice, representing
the court and the Marahal, representing the Depart

With the reoIpcning of the courts after the sum-
mer vacation the lawyers are finding out the i'm
portancc Of the changes made In the rules OF prac
tice by the General Term last April. 1t s possible
that some u them not awake TO these changes may
he surprised at having their cases left of the cae
dar of the Circuit Court, which meets October is.
Hitherto cases have been carried along from term to
term until they were tried, which resulted In the
accumulation Of a number of dead cases, which
merely encountered the docket. Henceforth aitor-
neys must renew the fornalitics Of placing their
cases on the calendar at the beginning of every
term until they get q hearing. Another important
change s that which shorens the time for respond
ing to bill In equity 10y entering an appearsncel
from twenty TO ten days, which will often result In
much more speedy trial. Appeals must he taken to
the General Term within twenty days, sundays ex-
cuded. In case OF notice 10y publication, copy OF
the newspaper must he mailed to the last address OF
the party, and there are other amendments which
will require close study from the profession and
their clients.
