of the statute beliitf to relievo tho Su
rremu eenirt, tho only appellate tribunal
of tho state, of a mass of business which
It found Impossible to ndoipiately handle,

while tho number had Increased to 1.10

tho statistics for tho succeeding, j cars
give this showing:

Unlike the Supiome court, tho act cio
atlng tho Supeilor court forbids any
"short list," or limit on tho time con
sumed in arguments, the only protcctl in
of the court being tho forliearanco of
counsel. Notwithstanding this fact, tho
average time for oral argument In eneli

utes. Another detail of the court's business
is llattcrlug to local pride. Whllo tlio

many advantages in vi-ltlr.g a groat city.
Tho court is governed entirely In mak
