SUPREME COURT.
A Movement Proposed to Relieve it of
Some Work.

WASHINGTON, April lst.-The sub committee
of The House Judiciary Committee has been at
work ;or some time on measure that proposes
to relieve the Supreme Court of the United
States of large amount OF work with which it
has been constantly overwhelmed A large
number OF bills for this purpose have been in
troduced, and these have been considered, and
rough draft OF a measure has been practically
agreed upon.
Both the House and Senate Committee have
gone over the subject TO considerable extent,
and 1t is thought that the bill reported by
the House Committee will meet with no
opposition. To increase the number of the Su-
preme Court Justices to twenty-one, and provide
for practical division into three Courts was
rejected. The bill already roughly drafted pro-
pos to increase the Circuit Courts by the addi-
tion of one Judge in each Court, Writs of errors
and appeals may be taken rom the District to
the Circuit Courts, substantially as at present.
District Courts alone are TO have original juIis-
diction, and appeals are TO be from the Circuit
to the Supreme Court in cases involving at leest
$4,000 involving a legal question, constitu-
tiona or treaty questions, legal questions of suf-
fcient importance to require insl decision by
the supreme Court, and in patent and copyright
cases in equity. This is all addition 10 the usual
constitutional and admiralty questions IN which
the Supreme Court of the United States now has
original Jurisdiction.
