| The meeting of the bar associa-
tion grows steadily in interest 1t
is asserted by the members that this
session is the most interesting one
ever held The attendance of the
public has not been large but this
is due in great measure to ignorance
of what is being missed by those
who absent themselves from the
meetings.
| Among the topics discussed yester-
day was the question of raising the
standard of admission to the bar of
this State. Some very animated
speeches were delivered on the sub
Iject but it was decided to endorse
the late order of the supreme court
appointing the law faculty of the
University a committee to examine
all applicants
The night session was very
warm one. w. G. Peterkin's paper
on Government by Injunction was
read apd this precipitated discus
sion. He defended the principle as
did all the other speakers but he
did so Internationally. His paper
was very able one and has received
many words of commentator.
Among those who participated in
the discussion on the paper were
Messrs Amber, of Parkorsburg;
Hubbard, of Wheeling, and John
J. Davis, of Clarksburg. They all
defended the principle per Sc, but all
found fault with some particular
case in which it had been applied.
Judge jackson was severely CRITICS
ed for issuing an order of arrest at
the same time an injunction was
granted and not waiting until the in
junction had been served. The action
was in effect a trial before any of
Tense had been committed.
The judicial bill introduced by
Congressman A. G. Dayton at the
recent session of congress was taken
up. Mr.. Dayton explained the pro-
visions of the bill which provides Cor
two judicial districts ia the state.
A synopsis of the bill has already
been published in this paper. Messrs.
Amber and Sturgiss made vigorous
sPeeenes III iaVor OF the Dill and
Messrs. Basel, of Clarksburg, and
Flournoy, of Charleston, spoke
against IT, Inc association then

'''ll anu urging us passage, with but
Two 'oees dissenting. The associa-
