Tlie proposed act of Assembly wasthen dis

that the judges thei-eofviere oververked,aud
as a conscqueiice insufficient tlme is allotted

many of the cases de net nnd cannot riv

remedial legislation will net euro the evil,
and will operate w orse than the present sys

speedy transaction of the business new i:n
iKfjed upon them, and hence they could net
