COURTHOUSE.

The early confirmation of Frederick
L. Siddons as an associate justice OF
the District Supreme Court is earnestly
desired at city hall. The docket of
equity cases continues in a crowded
condition despite the herculean efforts
of Justice Mccoy, who daily sits be-
yond the regular court hours. The adj
vent of the new judge, acquainted with
District practice and the personnel OF
the bar, is expected to accomplish
much toward reducing the number OF
cases on the calendar. The new prac-
tice of hearing cases in open court is
largely responsible for the dockets
crowded condition.
TIL. passing of the bread line." as
the long string of lawyers presenting
probate matters and other ex-parte
proceedings each morning at the open
ing of the Equity Court is jokingly
called is being agitated. From one to
tation of matters which il. many c. 'es
could be arranged before Deputy
Register of Wills Taylor and but few
minutes of the time of the court re-
presiding justice. The proposition may
shortly reach the general term. as an
order of court would be necessary to
bring about the suggested reform.
The Treasury Department has de-
cided that marriage licenses need no
war revenue stamp. However, newly
weds who desire a certificate of the
ceremony must see that the clergyman
attaches a 10-cent revenue stamp to
the coveted certificate. The depart
ment has not undertaken to decide
whether the cost of the stamp is to be
added to the fee given the minister or
whether the clergyman must lay in a
supply of stamps out of the remunera-
ton coming to him for officiating.
Clerk Knoll has provided himself with
a rubber stamp with which he marks
on the margin on the license the eau
ton to the clergyman to affix the rev.
enue stamp. No stamp is required on
the return which the minister must
make to the court when he has per-
formed the marriage
The new law requiring deeds to land
to be stamped went into effect Tues
day. The office of the recorder of
deeds reports that it did the largest
business in it's history Monday. Many
evidently sought to evade the tax.
With this fresh in his memory the sur
prise of Acting Recorder Dutton can
be imagined when a customer brought
deed which had been recorded last
spring and inquired how many stamps
should be attached to the paper under
the war measure. The applicant was
quickly informed that the act was not
intended to be retroactive and applied
only to papers filed December l and
subsequently,.
