Fl ;HMONO LAWYERS
T0 ASK LEGISLATURE
FOR SECOND COURT

An effort to institute superior
court in Wayne county probably will
be made by Richmond attorneys at the
next session of the legislature, giving
concrete form to what lawyers have
sought as necessity for some time.
The Judge is needed and could be
added with little expense to the coun-
ty, according to County Clerk Kelly
who said today he believes that an ex-
ira court to take care of the overflow
from circuit court could almost be
paid by the saving from venuing cases
to other counties and bringing special
judges here to try extra cases.
Several counties smaller than
Wayne and with less legal business
have superior courts, attorneys said.
The accommodation probably would
stimulate legal business here and ex-
pedite the adjudication of cases.
