THE RANDALL COUNTY NEWS, FEBRUARY 19. f09.
NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
Randall County to Have Eight Weeks of Dis
trict Court During the Year
Instead of Four.
During the session of legisla
ture which is now grinding along
at Austin a bill was introduced
to make a new judicial district
out of a portion of the 47th dis
trict of which Randall county
was a portion. The bill was
passed and was signed by the
governor on the 13th instant and
is now a law.
Kandall county will have two
terms of the court each year
each of which may continue in
session for four weeks instead
of the two which was formerly
allowed the county in the old
district. This will give the court
more time to dispose of all the
business to be transacted in this
county at the present time.
Judge Browning will continue as
judge of the district to which
Kandall county is attached, the
47th. and the Hon. D. B. Hill has
has been appointed as the judge j
of the new district.
We give below the bill as it
passed the two houses of the
legislature and as it was approv
ed by the governor.
An act to reorganize the Forty
seventh Judicial district and to
create the Sixty-ninth Judicial
district, to tix the time for hold
