Mr. Erwin’s bill, which is ready for in troduction in the house, would amend that particular section of the statutes by striking out ‘three hours” and inserting in lieu thereof "one hour.” “I am satisfied that would cut down tl)e time required for the trial of civil cases one-third,” the Buncombe repre sentative said. AA’hen the house was considering the bill to creat seven new judicial districts, Mr. Erwin vigorously opposed it, making a speech in which he declared the trouble was not the lack of judges and courts, but an excess of argument and speech making by the lawyers.
