A Word I'm Season.
fAtlanta CONSTITUTIONAL


The Constitution would address a few
words to the Georgia Bar Association,
which meets to-day at Warm Springs
The gentlemen OF the association cannot
fail 10 have noticed the widespread dis
satisfaction which exists in regard to
court procedure IN this State. The people
have observed that the time of the court
is FILTERED away in attention TO legal
techn.calities and that II seems impossi-
Bile to get al the meat OF cause because
of the outlying trivialties which may
stand in the way. They have doubtless
observed how difficult It is TO bring a
murderer TO justice; how interminable
motions for continnances. for investiga-
tions- into sanity, for changes OF venue
and other excuses ard delays. keep off the
trial OF the main cause until even the
witnesses are dead or the facts are for
gotten, and then, when belated trial is
reached, II Is again followed by attacks
on the jury. by motions for new trials,
by appeals 10 the Supreme Court, and by
a new play upon the sanity dodge. 1t
must be admitted that all OF this Is very
annoying TO the people, very expensive
10 the State. and subyersfve OF that good
opinion upon whlch true patriotism Is
built.
The people want a change from all this.
They want the courts TO be established
more as tribunals Of trial than as forums
are brought up with a short jerk than as
scenes for the exercise OF technical prac-
flee upon a tired judge. 1t Is not doing
the lawyers Of Georgia too great an honor
to say that the people hold them largely
responsible for the laws which exist.
THESE being the plain facts OF the situa-
tion. the gentlemen to-day assembled in
Warm Springs might as well understand
the responsibility which rests upon them
make court procedure satisfactory to the
neople. 1t will not be SUFFICIENT for two or
three members Of the association to de-
liver desultory speeches OF regret at the
situation. The people expect them to
take more formal and definite action--to
act. In other words. as II the RESPONSE
biiity OF legislation rested Immediately
upon them and 10 formulate plans for
hind which they are willlns 10 stand both
Collectively and individually. They have
Il in their power, Just as certain as they
meet to-day. II they make the hight use
OF their opportunity to sweep out the

Held: The amount in controversy as

of 500. the court has jurisdiction as to
all OF the appellees. though the amount
decreed 10 each OF them be less than 800.

g. A mere promise to pay debt out OF
designated fund. when received, does
not give an equitable lien upon 1t, or
operate as an equitable assignment. To
constitute an equitable assignment, there
must be an assignment or transfer OF
the fund or some definite portion OF 1t.
so that the person owing the debt or
holding the fund can safely pay an
order on it. and is compellab.e TO do So.

inquiry. Opinion By Rely, j.
Held: Until the Code OF 1887 was enact
ed. coparceners could make partition OF
lands by parol as well as by deed. Yet,
where oral partition is relied on as de-
fence to a bill filed by one of the par
ceners or his heirs for partition OF a
certain tract, the burden OF proof is on
those setting it up 10 show clearly that
such partition was made: and 1t is not
sufficient to show simply the fact that II
was made, but the burden is not hited
untn il is shown TO whom the several lois
were assigned. Until this Is done there
is only partial and Intellectual compil-
ance with the obligation arising from the
burden OF proof. and the defence cannot
avail. at least where one OF the copar-
ceners was a married woman, and Is
bound by the partition only through the
act of her husband.

Helton. &c, VS.. Johnson, &c. Affirmed.
Opinion by Cardwell, J.
Appellants allege parol contracts with
Johnson, ST., their father-in-iaw and
father, respectively. to convey certain
lands. He afterwards conveyed by deed
these lands 10 his son, =. l.. Johnson,
In consideration OF natural love and az

fraud in the procurement OF the deed,
and prayer that IL be set aside. No
proof of fraud and evidence 10 sustain
the parol contracts very far short OF
that required TO warrant enforcement
OF parol contract for sale of land. :.
Held: The grounds on which parol
agreements for the sale Of land are en-
forced are as follows: First. the agree
ment must be certain and definite In its
terms: second, the acts proved In part
performance must refer to, result from
and be made in pursuance Of the agree
ment made; third. the agreement must
have been so far executed that a re-
