(From Our Regular Consequently
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 81.
Judge Henry Clay Mcdowell. OF Lynch
burg. who presides over the Federal Court
OF the Western District of Virginia, has
drafted a bill to tas introduced at this
session, for the creation Of the Middle
District OF Virginia. Tho bill provides
that tho following counties, all OF which
are now wit hin the Western District, shall
compose the new district:
Halifax, Pittsylvania. Henry, Patrick,
Charlotte. Campbell. Bedford, ApponIat-
stox, Buckingham. Cumberland. lSluvannn,
AlbcInarle. Nelson, Amherst RockbridGe,
Bath. Highland, Augusta, Rockingham,
Greene. Madison, Page. Rappahannock.
Shenandoah, Warren, Clarke and Fred
erick.
Judge Mcdowell desires to preside over
the new district owing to the fact that
he has purchased a home In Lynchburg
and would have to make a sacrifice in
order to change his residence. The blu
provides that the present judge of the
Western District shall be the judge Of the
Middle District. but 1t is provided thnt
the district attorney and his assistant.
and the marshal Of the Western District,
shall continue to exercise their duties in
LILIL OlSSA StboSCsS, pS44OI1A& SaS
Western District at present may be tried
In either. Terms OF the court are pro-
vided for in the new district as follows:
tLynchburg-second Monday In March
and September; Danvllle-frst Monday In
May and October; Charlottesville-lrs
Monday In December and third Monday
In June. h. u
Judge MCDOWELL now has to hold thir-
teen terms OF his court every year.
When the public building at Charlottes-
Vile. is completed he will have to hold
another term during the year, or more.
Tho bill, as drafted, provides that United
States commissioners shall be regarded
as holding courts OF the United States,
and may punish for contempt Of court,
SO FAR as acts committed in their presence
or near enough to interrupt, are con-
cerned, and also for disregard OF lawful
;writs issued by them
Representative Slemp will probably in
troduce a bill for the creation OF the
new circuit. probably the measure drafted
by, Judge MCDOWELL The Virginia delega-
ton nor the two senators have indicated
their position on the question OF the new
district. s
It Is understood that Judge Mcdowell
thought OF putting several Of the counties
OF the Eastern District into the rev dis
trict blu that Judge Waddill did not de-
sire to lose any OF the counties Which
now compose his district, and thought he
could preside over the district as at pres
ent constituted. 55
