MORE COURTS ARE
MADE POSSIBLE
Counties Having Congested
Dockets May Establish A
County Court and Have Jury
Trials Under New Law.
Raleigh, March 9.—The gener
al assembly killed the judicial
districts bill, but it gave counties
burdened with congested superior
court dockets authority to estab
lish general county courts having
civil and criminal jurisdiction
and conducting trials by jury.
Little was heard of the measure
at the time it was slipping
through, but it has been dulv
recorded and filed in the official
shelves of Secretary of Statn
Everett's office, and only a vote
of the people of a county is neces
sary to establish a court that will
possets nearly all the powers of
the superior courts. The bill was
introduced after the chances of
passage of the judicial districts
bill went a glimmering, and the
opinion of lawyers is that it gives
counties virtually the relief
sought in the redisricting bill.
Forsyth and New Hanover
counties already have county
courts, but lawyers say the new
general county court would have
greater jurisdiction and rank
higher than do the courts in
these two counties. The clerk of
the superior court would be ex
officio clerk of the general county
court, and the sherilf would be
there to ">h. yes."
The county court, it is pointed
out, could displace the city re
corder's courts, which in the
cities of the state have worked
successfully in clearing many
cxses that might have Hooded
superior courts. The county
court would also take over many
of the cases now handled by the
magistrates.
To get this court, the county
commissioners will have to call
an election. Then it devolves
upon the commissioners to estab
lish the tribunal through the ap-
pointment of a judge, who shall
receive a salary of not less than
$:;,l)00 per year, and a prosecutor,
who shall be paid not less than
$1,"00 the year. The law speci
fies that the court shall convene
in the pounty courthouse on the
first Monday of each month and
continue in session until all cases
on the docket have been disposed
of.
The act goes into detail out
lining the criminal and civil pro
cedure for the court. One clause
specifies that trial by jurv in
civil cases shall be considered as
waived unless one of the con
testing sides makes appeal in
advance of the trial of the case
for a jury of twelve men. In
that case the register of deeds
shall select eighteen men from
whom the jury will be chosen;
and it shall be the duty of the
sheriff to summons them to court.
Regular juries for the court will
he chosen by lot, under the ays
tem used in selecting juries for
the superior court.
While sittings of the court
shall be in the courthouse, the
act makes mention of the inad
visability of inconveniencing or
discommoding the regular ses-
sions of superior court.
Appeals from the county court
to superior court will be in ac
cordance with existing statutory
requirements for appeals to high,
•r courts.
Whether any counties will take
advantage of the opportunity to
establish a county court ii un-1
certain, though MecHenbuig
e »nty is reported to Oe miereai
ed in some change that would
relieve a crowded docket in
sutserior court (.here.
