due to techncalities are contained In a
report Of the Board of Statutory Conso!i-
lature in special message by Governor

gal system in this state so as TO make

judges greater power to expedite cases

overloaded with innumerable and incon-
gruous amendments, and from the time
OF its enactment, in 1876 has never been
as satisfactory as the original Field Code,
of 1SfS," said the Governor.
In part, the boards recommendations
as a substitute for the present code or
civil procedure says:
The court shall have tull power to DIS
