ton, provided this consultation l. raii-

different from that TO which the peo-
pie OF this territory have been accus-

The substitution of the superior for
district courts aud the combination OF
the functions OF probate ana district
courts, continuous sessions oi the

tenn and the foundation of a plan by
which a judge may ultimately tie Sc
elred ior each county, the establish
lnent ut court commissioners who
may relieve the superior Judge OF a
large part OF his routine duties and
the abolition of the fee sy;em for all
ludiciai officers except unsalaried
justices OF the peace With the re-
niuyai of the district court and the as
sumption OF statehood OF eonr>e
comes the establishment OF United

bodied TO the Judicial department in
