The term "county courts" does not exactly fit these courts, a Circuit court being not strictly a "county court," but, rather, as its name indicates, a court made up of one or more counties. Historically speaking, a "county court" is one that transacts county business both of a judicial and administrative nature. Under the old Constitution the Associate Judges held "county courts." The present Circuit Court Judge has very little of the functions of those old Associates. Most of their duties have gone to the board of county commissioners. Indiana, since the act of February 22, 1915, has sixty-seven judicial circuits in each of which there is elected a Judge and a pro- secuting attorney. Each county in the state has its Circuit court denominated by the name of the county, as "Perry Circuit court". The same Judge presides over all the Circuit courts in his district, whether it be composed of one, two or three counties. For some reason which has never been ex- plained, there is no Fifty-ninth circuit. In creating Circuit courts new groupings of counties frequently require a new number for the newly created circuit. Sometimes bills for the creation of two or more circuits are pending at the same time. Some pass, others fail. Numbers are, therefore, sometimes skipped. At one time there were three vacancies. Two were

MINOR COURTS-1852-1916
afterwards used in the creation of other circuits, so that at the present time the fifty-ninth is the only vacancy. Jay county was constituted the sole county of the Fifty-eight judicial circuit, March 1, 1897, and on the same day the Legislature created St. Joseph county as the Sixtieth judicial circuit.
A detailed study of the acts of the Legislature from June 17, 1852, to February 22, 1915, shows that there have been one hundred and eighty-two changes in the judicial circuits of this state since it was first divided into ten circuits on June 17, 1852. This refers only to the circuits of the Circuit court and does not include Common Pleas, Criminal or Superior court circuits. There have been only five sessions of the Legislature since 1852 in which a new circuit has not been organized or one or more old circuits re-organized. Politics has often played a prominent part in the establishment of these circuits and it has been said that there have been times when some counties were not attached to any circuit for a short time.
As the sixty-seven judicial circuits are now (1916) arranged, there are forty-five composed of single counties, nineteen of two counties, and three of three counties. The first circuiting after the new Constitution was adopted divided the whole state into ten circuits; the Legislature of 1915 organized the Sixty-seventh circuit. The following table exhibits the dates of the organization of each circuit since 1852, the re-organization of circuits and the counties in each circuit:
