with very little ceremony.
Representative Gooch having relnc-
family torn himself away from the Moody
and Sankey services, reached Dover this
morning and one Of his first propositions
was a notice of bill to enlarge the iuris-
diction Of the municipal court of Will
mingtOn so as to relieve the county courts
of petty larcenles and other minor
criminal cases. In giving this notice Mr..
Cooch said that the trial Of one boy, who
stole less than dollars worth of lead pipe
and who admitted his guilt, had cost the
county nearly 800, while the trial Of
another case involving the larceny of only
seven cents worth Of brass, cost $50.
There are now" he added, 800 civil
cases on the docket, and all these cases are
delayed by the pressure of criminal busi-
ness"
