or more district judges, and also county
Judges, tho latter Will receive fees which
tho former would like 10 retain because
OF the necessarily limited work of
tho district judges There are two
suggestions for L settlement OF the trouble.
Either - make not more than four districts
or TO establish the larger nu.sber ol district
courts, abolish the justices OF tho poace,
and give their duties over into the hands OF
tho county courts Ii is probable that the
lower ofsoe will be dropped and the other
changes made.
