JUDGE CALVERT DIRECTS ATTENTION TO THE LAW Delays in Filing Court Plesdlags wiu Be Dlscjrarsged Under New Statute. At the close of his charge t the grand jury last Monday Judge Thom as H. Calvert took occasion to refer to the act passed at the last session of the General Assembly regulating the return of summons in civil actions and requiring the prompt filing of pieaamgs. He said in part: "This is the first court for the fall term in this district, and while it Is a week for the trial of criminal cas es, yet the matter of the prompt at tention to the business of ;he courts is one of general public interest, and the circumstances that a statute re specting process and pleadings went into effect at the berinntar of the fall term, that is on the Hrst of July, suggests mat we snould begin to make an effort to understand and apply it. A number of eopies have been sent by the Secretary of State to all the clerks of the Superior Courts, so that the officers and law yers have every opportunity to fa miliarize themselves with its provi sions What Statata Provides. "The statute provides, in Dart, that the summons is returnable before the clerk, that the complaint must be filed on or before the return day, and that the answer must be filed within twenty days after the return day. It further makes provision for the immediately filing and hearing of demurrers, that is, without wait ing for the next term of court. The practice in these respects had become so loose that a large proportion pf allowed to remain on the dockets for the cases in many counties have been some time, and in some instances for years, without any pleadings. "It is impossible to remedy this condition s0 long as the practice is allowed to continue of entering gen eral orders at every term allowing time to file pleadings, and so long as the disposition is respected and en couraged of entering into agreements between counsel to take all the time they want, in the name of granting professional courtesies. 1 am dis posed to think that this is something like the granting of so-cawed sen atorial courtesy and can very easily run to seed, and ought not to be in dulged to the point that it clogs the dockets of our courts and in a meas ure impedes the public business. Entitled to Fair Trial. It may be that some of 'hose whc4 art sincerely in favor of the adop tion of some remedy for the condi tion into which the civil practice has been allowed to drift, think that some other remedy would give better re suits, but the General Ass?nibl has prescribed this as one remedy, and it is the duty of the court3, lawyers and officers to make an honest effort to make a reasonable use of it. The statute is at least entitled to a fair trial. If experience with it proves that it is not workable and not suit ed to our conditions, it may be repeal ed or so amended as to reduce, it to a workable formula. At any rate, its evident purpose should commend it to our serious consideration. MI may take this opportunity to say that I have never agreed with those whA would blame our shortcomings on the code of Civil Procedure. It may be that in some few particulars it might be improved, but taking it as a whole I am satisfied that the code of procedure of this State is a simple and understandable, a work able and comprehensive, and general an admirable one. And as an hon est confession is good for the soul, we might as well come to the mark, and admit that most of the ills of judicial delays we have created or fallen heir to, may rather be attribu ted to the failure of the courts to comply with it than to any defects in the code itseu. . ."The appeals for judicial discre tion and favor have become so loud and so continuous that we are in dan ger of forgetting that there is an or derly procedure prescribed and to be followed, and we should remember that indulgence craved, and to be granted in the exercise of judicial discretion, should be the exception and not the general rule. Will Conform to Law. " "We, in this district and during the fall term will, therefore, understand that in the matter of filing com plaints and answers, and filing and hearing demurrers, it will jbe ex petted that the provisions ef ' this statute will be observed, and that time to file such pleadings will, not be extended as a mere matter of course, but only on a showing of good cause. General orders extend ing time to file pleadings wOl not be entered,' and rules of the court and rerulations of the bar on that par ticular subject are deemed to be su perseded by the statute. And I sug gest that the clerks of the courts in this district make their practice .con form to the statute, v. , .The folio win r Lamberton Beoole spent the week-end at WrightsvUle - . m a m r eat w . eeacn: nr. ana ears. i. newan, Messrs.
