• Excerpt from The Municipal Court Act: With NotesIn the Senate opposition developed to that feature of House Bill No. 422 which provided for a common pleas court. To meet the objections thus raised, the writer, atthe request and under the direction of the members of the Senate Committee on Chicago Charter, prepared a draft of a new bill which omitted the provision for a common pleas court and was, in the main, the bill finally adopted. The purpose of the Senate Committee was to frame a bill which, though different in form from, should preserve the practice provisions of, House Bill No. 422. To avoid the danger of overcrowding the court with business the direct original juris diction of the court was decreased by omitting therefrom all actions. Of ejectment, and actions for injuries to the person and qm' tam actions involving over one thousand dollars. To compensate for this, however, the class of cases which were to be tried without pleadings was enlarged so as to include all cases at law where the amount claimed did not exceed one thousand dollars. When House Bill No. 422 reached the senate it was amended so as to make its pro visions conform to those of the new bill thus drafted and was passed as amended. The House voted non-concurrence in the amendments and, the Senate having refused to recede, a conference committee was appointed and its report, which recommended some changes in the Senate amendments, was adopted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
