Judge 2Tewkirk of the Probate court has issued an edict that during his term of office there must be no smoking in his court room during hearing of cases. This has been allowed in times past, but he says he must draw the line. and hopes those who have business there will respect his wishes in the matter. He has also mde a change in the practice of filing final accounts. Heretofore it has not genernlly been filed until the day of hearing, necesitating in man y cases an adjournment, with attendant costs and trouble. to allow opposing parties time to examine the same and file objections. He now requires the account to be filed when notice is given that it is ready to be rendered. so that during the period of advertising. opportunity is given for examining the same by any one interested, so ihat there need beno delay or adjournment at the day of hearing. He has also instituted a system of scrap books in which the legal notices of each county paper are pasted for reference - one book for each paper - thus enabling one to fmd what they wish instantly, instead of beinar obliged to paw over a year's newspapers to flnd the advertisement wanted. These changes we think will be appreciated by those doing business at the Probate court.
