A GREAT REMEDIAL MEASURE
LONG HOPED FOR

The largest and most gratifying
piece of purely State news that has
been given to the people of Florida
fer long time is the announcement
that the commission appointed BY
Governor Gilchrist to prepare a bill
to reform our rules of court pro-
cedure SO that We might have a more
certain and expeditions administra-
ton of justice in our courts. had
finished its work and the bill Is now
ready to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture.
At the urgent recommendation OF
Governor Gilchrist the last Legisla-
ture adopted resolution providing
for the appointment of three COM
n.issioners to do this work, and the
governor named those eminent law
yers, Chief Justice Whitfield of the
Supreme Court. Hon. w. A. Blount,

tlemen have just completed the ar
duons task assigned them. did it
without compensation and doubtless
il the true spirit of reformers seek
ing to cure evils long and justly
complained of. and to put the admin
istratiOn of our laws by the courts
upon better basis.
The bill as published seems to go
deeply and thoroughly into the Sub
ject and We do not doubt from the
character of the men who did the
work that, when adopted, 1t will be
a remedial measure of very great
value. We note with special pleas
ire that one particular reform most
vital in it's character and urged for
years past by the American Bar AS
scciation. has been incorporated into
this bill, and 1t sweeps away SO thor
oughly technical system under
hich our appellate courts have
been burdening the lower courts and
ohstructing justice with cases re-
,ersed on grounds having nothing to
d. with the merits of the issue, that
even the layman can see it and re-
joice accordingly.
That proposed section reads:
No Judgment. order or decree
Shall be set aside, or reversed, or an
nulled. or new trial or rehearing be
granted by any court or judicial Of

ton of evidence, or for errcr as to
any matter of pleading or procedure,
unless it shall be made to appear
probable from the record that the
error complained of has injuriously
affected substantial right of the
party complaining thereof"
This bill will be introduced in the
next Legislature. and, prepared b.
such experts and with the moral
sentiment of the whole State back OF
IL, it will be almost sure to pass.

to prevent it, for he will be standing
