COMMON PLEAS COURTS.
A study of the judicial history of the state during the first two decades following the adoption of the present Con- stitution reveals the fact that the lawyers were not satisfied with the multiplicity of courts which had arisen. In 1872 there were twenty-one Circuit courts, eight Criminal Circuit courts, three Superior courts-all in Marion county-and twenty-three Common Pleas courts, or a total of fifty-five courts of all kinds. As has been stated, the Criminal courts did not prove successful, and the same may be said of the Common Pleas courts. When the Constitutional Convention of 1850 decided to abolish the Probate court, the Common Pleas court was planned to take over all the probate business as well as have jurisdiction of part of the business formerly intrusted to the Circuit court. For this reason, the Legis- lature, on May 14, 1852, organized a large number of Common Pleas courts, dividing the state into forty-four districts for common pleas purposes. This meant that the state had more than four times as many Common Pleas courts as Circuit courts. The same act abolished the old Probate court, which had been in existence under the 1816 Constitution, and trans- ferred most of the business of that court to the newly created Common Pleas court. It was given exclusive jurisdiction over
335
MINOR COURTS-1852-1916
all probate matters and had original jurisdiction of all that class of offenses which did not amount to a felony. One excep- tion to this is to be noted-it did not, of course, invade the jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace courts, which had been given exclusive jurisdiction over certain kinds of cases. The Common Pleas court was given jurisdiction under definite restrictions of certain felonies where the punishment could not be death, but in no case was the intervention of the grand jury necessary.
In all cases except for slander, libel, breach of marriage contract, action on the official bond of any state or county of- ficer, or where title to real estate was in question, the Common Pleas court had concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit court where the sum or damages due or demanded did not exceed one thousand dollars, exclusive of interests and costs, and concurrent jurisdiction with the justices of the peace where the sum due or demanded did not exceed fifty dollars.
When the court was first organized, appeals could be taken from it to the Circuit court, but that was changed by a legis- lative act so that no appeal could be taken to that court. How- ever, the same act provided that appeals could be taken from the Common Pleas court to the Supreme court of the state. From time to time the jurisdiction of the Common Pleas court was changed in an effort to make it a more useful and efficient adjunct of the state judiciary. The clerk of the Circuit court and the sheriff of the county were ex-officio officers in their respective capacities for the Common Pleas court.
The Judge of the Common Pleas court was ex-officio Judge of the Court of Conciliation. A Court of Conciliation was pro- vided for by the Constitution of 1851, and in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution, the Legislature passed an act on June 11, 1852, establishing such Courts and authorized the Judges of the Common Pleas courts to preside over them. An extended discussion of the Courts of Conciliation is found else- where in this chapter.
The Common Pleas court was abolished by an act of the Legislature, approved May 6, 1873, and all the business for- merly transacted by it was transferred to the Circuit court. As early as 1867 Criminal courts had been established in a few
336
COURTS AND LAWYERS OF INDIANA
counties in the state and in 1871 the Legislature had provided for Superior courts in counties of a certain population. The Legislature was of the opinion that with the creation of these new courts it was a useless expenditure of money to continue the Common Pleas court. Accordingly, it was decided to dis- continue it and create new Circuit, Superior or Criminal courts in those counties which had more business than they could handle.
COMMON PLEAS JUDGES.
The act of March 14, 1852, establishing the Common Pleas court, divided the state into forty-four districts. The dis- tricts were not numbered, and remained unchanged until the act of March 1, 1859. This second act divided the state into twenty-one districts, but again did not number them. The act of March 11, 1861, numbered them, the act making no change in the districts. Between 1861 and 1873, when the court was abolished, four new districts were created. In the following summary, the districts as established in 1852 are listed in the order in which they appear in the act and are numbered in consecutive order. Likewise the districts created in 1859 are numbered, although it was not until 1861 that the Legislature formally numbered them. The act establishing the court in 1852 provided that the first judges for the court should be elected in October of that year and hold their first court in January, 1853.
