pointment.
Mr.. Hart says: 81 have made II the Gus
tom not to graut leave to bring suits in the
name of the people unless there is reason
able probability of success. The Superior
Court OF San Francisco is crowded with
business, and | think no suit should be

less some good can be accomplished
thereby. Again, case of this character is
generally appealed 10 the Supreme Court,
which is also behind in its work, DOtwth-
standing the members thereof work dill
gently and harmonously."

himself on the back for his efforts ''as far
as practicable to lessen the work Of the
courts" by such refusals and then, review
ing the facts as they were made to appear
to him IN atfidavits, holds that ''the fact is
established beyond question that Judge
