| An Alleged Onerous Rule.
The late rule of the state supreme
| court to the effect that ten printed
| copies of the transcripts in appeal cases
shall be supplied the court is considered
by ST. Louis attorneys as great hard
ship to litigants. 1t more than doubles
| the costs, and one well-known attorney
| expressed the opinion that it would
| virtually exclude the poor man from
the appellate tribunal. Mr.. Clarence
Hoblitzelle, chief deputy in the cir
cult clerks Office in St. Louis, in dis
| cussing TIE matter stated that the above
| statement was correct, that not only
| poor men would be cut off from the
| supreme court, but rich men would
hesitate about appealing. 1--WE have
one case added Mr.. Hobiitzelle, ''in
which it will cost $4,000 to copy and
print the transcript, and most litigants
will hesitate about paying such a sum,
and will not appeal if they can helI
themselves.
