The Virginia state Ear Association
is engaged in u laudablc movement To
simplify court procedure. System and
simpliiicatiou are nowhere more needed
The records and vaults of the courts
are numbered with pages upon pages OF
useless jarEon. Why this has been
perinittrd to continue in an age OF
elimination Of useless things and the
doing things is one OF the mysteries
past finding out.
ON his own initiative tho district at
torncy Of Kings County. New York,
has discarded the old Vcrbiage OF in
dictments and has adopted "a form In
which n straightforward statement is
made charging the crime in simple and
plain words without repetition or talk
ing around. sample Indictment has
has been published showing tho old
form and the new. III the old form,
il took OH ords to charge Il man with
murder, whereas in the form used by
the district attorney, only sixty words
were used.
This we believe is a fair illustration
Of the sumbrous and tntiuuated fo-ns
Of legal procedure in tho state OF Viz
ginia, To learn all this rubbish must
require 81 year OF tho law students
time. Eliminate it and give him time
TO study the principles OF law. Magni-

present system seems to be doing. and
