SOME GOOD THINGS
WHICH THE LAWYERS OF THE
STATE WAf4T.
Comnendable Resolutions Adopted -
the State Bar Association at
Little sock,

| just adjourned in Little ROCK, put
| themselves on record Z. in favor of
the various thing set forth in the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted by the as
sociation:
| Taking it as a conccnsus OF opinion
that the supreme court itself must
furnish the relief. and believing that
| such is the only practicable plan, We
recommend:
Il. To the Legislature that it fulnisf
to the court such number of steno-
graphers and clerks as may be nece*-
sary to relieve the judges from all
clerical work in the preparation Oh
opinions.
| - To the court that it exercise the
discretion vested in it by section 1862,
S. and Fl. digest, authorizing the court
to award 10 per cent damages on the
afirmance of all judgments where the
appeal is taken for delay. We thinil
| think that where it IS evident to the
| court from an inspection of the record
| that the appeal has been prosecuted
ior delay that the 10 per cent should
| be added, whether the case has bee2
| treated as a delay case or not. and that
such q course will relieve the court
of many NeXatious appeals.
