ALABAMAS SUPREME COURT HADA BUSY DAY
 WITH SUBMlSS SIONS, OPINIONS AND APPLICATIONS
CLAY COUNTY COURT
AFTER YEAR or REST ITS POWER
 IS RENEWED.
State Supreme Court Passed Upon Matt ter of Importance to Cttisens'
 Action on Case of John Gates,

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday breathed new life into the Clay County Court, which has been as If null and void since the last session of the Legislature in 1903.
 Chief Justice Thomas N. Mcclellan announced from the bench yesterday morning that the County Court of Clay Is in force. and that the act of the Legislature In 1903 purporting to re- peal former law establishing the court is unconstitutional. The repeal ing act was declared unconstitutional on the ground that sufficient notice of the enactment as required by the new Constitution was not given.
 "A formal opinion in writing will be handed down by the court in few days. 1t Is thought.
 The case under which the Supreme Court came to consider the existence or non-existence of the Clay County Court was that of Andrew Adcock vs. the State of Alabama. Adcock was arrest CT last year in Clay County for mis- demeanor and his case was docketed by the Clerk of the County Court.
 While the case was pending. the Leg islature, then in session, passed an act to repeal the original law creating the Clay County Court. To remedy the confusion that would have followed thereupon.. a provision was inserted that all cases pending for trial in the County Court should be transferred to the Circuit Court of Clay County.
 Thus the case of Adcock was tried in the Clay County Circuit Court. and he was fined s5 and assessed with the costs. His counsel appealed the case to the Supreme Court The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court, overturning the argu- ment of counsel for Adcock that the Circuit Court had no criminal jurisdic :. tion in Clay County. as it had all been taken away and conferred upon the County Court
 The decision of the Supreme Court will rule that, under the constitution, Circuit Courts cannot be deprived of criminal jurisdiction by the Legisla- ture. It was under this principle, enunciated by the Supreme Court, that the fine Imposed on the appellant was affirmed.
 As the would-be repeating act was declared unconstitutional the original act, establishing the Clay County Court, was renewed and is now in force.
 Further. it was decided that the Clay County Court henceforth will have concurrent criminal and civil jurisdic- tion with the Circuit Court.
