of adapting the rules to the new judiciary
act. which goes into effect on January l."
Only two important changes were made
The two important qualifica tions were
notifications in the old rules as to bills
of exception. and as to the character of
the record to be transmitted to the Su-
preme Court on writs of error or appeal,
with the purpose" as the chief justice
explained. "Of diminishing the size of
the records. and thus reducing the cost
of litigation"
a general order was also entered con-
rerning the equity rules, due also to the
new judiciary act. No permanent and
general revision of the equity rules is
announced" said the chief Justice, be
cause the work which has been under

over the rolls for Monroe county we
found IS. 700 exempt hogs. As this
enrolment was made In tho spring
since which time births of swine have
taken place on almost every farm, we
have no doubt as.to the county's aR-

4, 900. We know of many owners who

the exempts are reported. and the
