SOME OF THE DEFECTS IN

tenn in Georgia, and ! am sure
they, with the discussion pro-
voked, are serving a commend
able purpose
venture to submit few OBJ
servations Of my own in conneC-
ton with this matter, because I
have discussed the subject in one
or two law magazines heretofore,
and I am possessed of profound
convictions in regard to the

We hear the complaint that ia
many instances the rules Of pro
cedure are SO rigid and fixed as
not to- be conducive to the ends
aimed at. 1t is proposed as
remedy to make the fixed pro-
cedure more elastic and more
subject to the discretion of the
trial judge.
Much complaint arises from the
inability of jurors to comprehend
precisely what issue is submitted
to their determination This is
due to the practice obtaining i'm
