Circuit Court Begins
Heaviest October
Term in Arlington

The heaviest docket in its history
today faced the A :lington County
Circuit Court. The October term
opened yesterday with Judge Wal
ter T. Mccarthy on the bench.
Eighty-six cases were set for trial
during the present term, and sew
eral were carried over into the next
term which opens on December 16.
The bulk of the cases were civil
actions, however, since the grand
jury returned only nine true bills.
Five Terms Year.
Both Judge Mccarthy and Court
Clerk H. Bruce Green agreed it
was the greatest number Of cases
ever known to them to be docketed
in one term. The Arlington court,
which comprises the 35th Virginia
judicial Circuit, has five terms an
nually which are convened on the
third Monday in the months Of
February, April, June, October and
December.
A possibility that the Virginia
Legislature might be asked to con-
slider a rearrangement Of the terms,
such as moving the October term
back a month so as to shorten the
long period between the summer and
fall sessions, was seen by some men,
bers Of the bar.
Arlington's growth has caused
such an increase in litigation that
the county was separated from the
18th Judicial Circuit in 1914, and
the 35th Circuit was created. The
18th Circuit formerly included
Arlington along with Alexandra
City and Fairfax and Prince Will
lam Counties.
