In Common Pleas.
This Week. for the first time, thc
| common pleas list contains fifty cases
instead of thirty-Hve as heretofore
This is according to a recent order OF
court designed to expedite business
1t frequently happened, last year. that
a list of thirty-:ive cases would not
supply work enough for the court fol
| more than two days. When Monday
arrived, and the list was called. halt
or more OF the cases would be put Oul
of the way hy cOntnuances or settle
ments, and the next day or the second
day following, when parties in many
of them would not be ready for trial
as they expected they would, and there
would be, in consequence. nothing for
the judges TO do.
Under the new order of things, the
list is increased and each weeks list
is called over on the first day Of the
week preceding. If a case is not
ready for trial. the continuance
must be secured week ahead
unless for some cause arising
after this date has passed when
grounds for continuance will be con-
sidered at the opening or the week for
which the list is scheduled
This weeks list was called over Il
week ago yesterday, and six of the
fifty cases We're disposed of by con-
tnuance or settlement. Yesterday,
when it was again called. eighteen more
cases We're continued. leaving twenty
six TO be heard. Next weeks list
was called for the first time yesterday.

Major Warren can say strenuous
