Courts in This County.

New York, 1895

The time seems to be at hand when one of the justices of the Supreme Court will have to devote all of his time to the business arising in Queens county, and which has been increasing steadily for several years. we have now three terms of the Circuit Court, and the judges and the jurymen put in long hours and work hard, but the calendar grows in spite of them. In November two additional justices will be elected in this district, and the new year will see Judge Barnard restored to the exercise of all his functions, civil and criminal, so that it will not be difficult to have a judge assigned to hold chambers in this county. When the judges decide to take this step they should fix upon Jamaica as the place where the judge shall preside, and satisfactory accommodations will be provided for him in the Town Hall.
