2nd Complaint -
The practice hitherto adopted with respect to motions and causes for hearing in the Supreme Court I consider has worked well - no complaint has hitherto been made to my Knowledge during the last few years. Why then alter it ? or be bothered with the observance of four Terms when the Chief Justice is at all times willing to accommodate the profession. And His Honor I have always found willing (when illness did not prevent him) to appoint an early day for Trial with short notice provided Solicitors on both sides were consenting, but such early appointment was never given unless by production of the written consent of both parties. Where then can be surprise ?
4th Complaint -
I should prefer it be made that the Summonses, returnable at the Court House rather than at the Chief Justice's private residence - much delay and inconvenience is incurred by compelling solicitors to attend at so great a distance from their place of business. There are many points however to be considered.
