INCREASED JUR|SDIC-
TON NOT A SUCCESS

The following letter from Judge
Roberts of the Cass countycourt
explains why increased iurisdic
ton is not necessary and why il
is not advisable there. and the
same conditions are apparent in
Ward county:
Fargo, North Dakota,
Sept. 23d, A. d., OF.
Hon. VIM. Murray.
Minot, n. d.,
Dear Judge:
Your letter of recent date in
quirin2' as to the advantages or
lack Of advantages to the people
of this county OF the Increased
jurisdiction conferred upon our
County Court. | will try to
answer your inquiry SO far as to
give the facts as know them.
Increased jurisdiction was
voted in this county at the time
when Jud &c Mcconnell was our
District Judge. he being away
nearly all the time except during
the term Of court, resulting that
attorneys often had to wait a
long time before the instituting
or hearing Of cases where i'm
mediate action was necessary:
Judge Pollock was afterwards
elected to the District Judgeship;
he not onl Y residing in Fargo
but is always here and can be
reached in chambers at any time
between terms OF court. thus
doingaway largely ifnot wholly.
with the necessity OF the increased
jurisdiction OF our county court.
Personally | have always op-
posed the bringing of civil or
criminal actions in the County
Court for the reasons that the
probate matters took all OF my
time while Judge OF that court
and found that the procedure
was faulty and uncertain. our
attorneys not agreeing as to how
the same should be in the com
mencing and conducting of civil
actions: | obtained record books
but refused to draft keep blank
forms or to summon jul'ies, and
had not to exceed a dozen civil
actions before he while in office.
and believe Judge Hanson, my
successor in Office, has had none.
In counties other than those
where the District Judge holds
his chambers, the increased juris-
diction would probably be OF
much advantage to the attorneys
and the people OF such counties.
But in this county, with the con-
ditions as they now are, cannot

perceive but very little, if any,
| advantages that are, or can be
! derived from the increased iuris-
dlction Of our County Court.
Trusting that have answered
your inquiry, remain,
Respectfully yours,
AUGUSTUS ROBERTS.
Note that the conditions of
Ward county are identical with
those in Cass county, in relation
to the District Judge and his
chambers.
The few who are wanting the
increased jurisdiction what assur-
ance will they give the people
that the cases tried in county
court will not be appealed to the
District Court as they are at
present appealed from Justice
.COurt? Ii they can give that
assurance lIlaJ no appeal VIII be
taken then money would be saved
to the tax payers. As many
cases as are ROW appealed from
the Justice Courts will be ap-
pealed from the County Court
and il that is the case what bene-
fit will the county derive or the
parties in the cases?
1t has been said that persons
having law suits will get speedy
relief in the County Court under
the conditions us they now exist
i'll Ward county with the District
Judge having chambers in Minot
the same as the District Judge
having chambers in Fargo where
they have increased jurisdiction
and never use it. Speedy relief
can be obtained by all persons
who agree to have the District
Judge hear their cases in
chambers between the terms OF
District Court and any person
charged with Il misdemeanor or
a felony except capital offense
and wishes to plead guilty to
the same before the District
Judge does not need to wait till
the District Court cOnvenes but
can be taken before the Judge
and receive his sentence.
1T the present time there is not
one criminal case waiting trial
III the District Court, which could
come before the county court and
be tried, even if we had increased
jurisdiction, and there are more
than ten prisoners waiting trial.
