MT. Thompson's Suggestions

MT Thompson goes into detail in de- scribing the eongested condition Of tho dockets of the city court of Birming- ham, the circuit court of the county, the criminal court and the chancery court, following which he makes the following suggestions:
 "If the governor should call an extra session of the legislature. 1 wish he would include in the call an amendment to tho acts creating all the courts of record in this county.
 q believe if there was law passed consolidating all the courts of record Of Jefferson county into one court, With a sufficient number of judges to attend to the business, with one of the judges as presiding judge, whose duty it would be to see to it that all the judges are pro vided with work. and that court convene not later than o'clock in the morning and adjourn not before o'clock in the afternoon, with a noon recess or not more than two hours; that the presiding judge be charged with the responsibility of set ting the dockets and seeing to it that speedy trials are had in civil, criminal and chancery cases. The above applies only to courts of record in this county.S
 q believe if there was law passed consolidating all of the inferior courts of Jefferson county. all of which are within the incorporated limits of Bir- mingham. and the police court of the city of Birmingham, providing for suf- ficient number of judges to attend the business, one of whom shall be a pre- siding judge, whose business it will be to see to it that all business is properly distributed among the other judges, that this would greatly facilitate matters. and giving this court proper Jurisdiction would relieve the cdurts of record to n considerable extent"
 MT. Thompson made number of other suggestions with reference to law reform in the state several of which have been recommended by other attorneys through out the state.

DOCKET IS CONGESTED

Montgomery. october 2.-tSpecial.)- Maintaining that the court dockets of Jefferson county are in most con pested condition. that at least 30 per cent more cases are filed than are dis posed of. and that the nine judges Of the courts of record ill that county are not engaged more than half their time' Von l.. Thompson, prominent attor- ney of Birmingham, has written to Governor O'Neal and Judge John Pei ham. chairman of the judicial commits sion. suggesting the enactment of law by the legislature consolidating these courts of record into one large court with a sufficient number of judges to attend to all the business.
 MT. Thompson declares in his letter 10 the two officials that he has no in- tention of criticising the judges of these courts. but rather of attaching all blame to the law, which he considers defective
 According to the Birmingham attor- ney litigants are losing annually thous- ands of dollars on account of not be- ing able to try their cases within reasonable time after their suits have been filed, and citizens of this county are losing large amounts of money on account of being forced to attend court as witnesses from day to day and from time to time, and tne cases in which they are summoned seldom tried on account of not being reached
 Mir Thompson further maintains that hundreds of persons are kept in jail because of the fact that, the dockets are so crowded that they cannot get a trial.

The spirit of Thanksgiving was ap-
parent yesterday, and there was jog
in the air. While many little ones
