The Jefferson county bar delegation wno went to Montgomery with petition to the legislature to repeal at once the law changing the times of holding the city and circuit courts of the county, re- turned from the Capital City last night after they had succeeded in having the two following acts introduced before the legislature:
 "A bill to be entitled an act to fix the time of holding, in each year, the cir cult courts of Jefferson county, in the Tenth judicial circuit of the state of Alabama. and to repeal all former laws fixing the times for holding said courts.
 "Be it enacted by the legislature of Alabama
 T. That the circuit courts of Jefferson county, in the Tenth judicial circuit of the state of Alabama, shall be held in each year as follows CD Beginning on the first Monday in October, and may con tinue to and including the 31st day of the succeeding December unless said day falls on a Sunday, then to and including the following Monday O.

former laws fixing the times for holding said courts:
 Be it enacted by the legislature of Alabama:
 T. That the October term of the city court of Birmingham shall be held on the first Monday in October of each year and shall continue until. the Sat urday before the second Monday in July following.
 shall begin on the second Monday in July of each year and continue until the Saturday before the first Monday n October following unless sooner adjourned by an order thereof.
 @ That all laws and parts of laws In conflict with the provisions of this act, or fixing any other times for holding said court, be, and the same are, hereby re- pealed."
 The delegation went before the 1egis- lature armed with a petition which bore the signatures of 22S out of 25O of the practitioners of the Jefferson county bar. In the petition 1t was averred that the curtailmeht of the present terms of tho court would create a congestion of dock cts; that the operation of the courts prior to the enactment of the bill was satis- factory to all parties save a few indi- vidual or corporation lawyers; that the consent provision in the bill would prove futile in relieving thei congestion; and that the general interest of the public demanded that the present arrangement be unchanged. These statements were verified by the clerks of the courts and indorsed by Judges A. o. Lane and B. c. Crow of the circuit court.
 The passage of the proposed measures will mean, of course, the repeal of the Morrow law providing for the curtailmeat of court terms. Their adoption by the legislature Is considered likely.
