COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The Press this afternoon received a telegram from Little Rock stating that Senator FutrelPs bill to create a court of common pleas for Greene county was passed by the senate this morning. The bill gives the county judge power to sit in civil cases in which titles to land are not involved and is designed to settle many petty civil controversies that are now taken into the circuit court entailing heavy expense upon the taxpayers. The county judge gets no additional pay for acting as court of common pleas and hence the set clement of cases that come before him will create no additional cost on the county. The right of appeal from the finding of the court of common nlaas is provided for.
