An examination of the records of the Attorney-General's office as to the amount of business in the courts in these districts leads me to believe that two districts would provide amply for the disposition of all public and private cases.
It gives me pleasure to consummate here to-day, by the act of lifting this flag, the efforts in support of a principle to which I give my hearty support.
A serious question would be raised as to whether these officers were not at once legislated out of office and vacancies created.
As these vacancies could not be filled immediately, the business of the courts would seriously suffer.
