Assignment of Judges.

Section. 417. Justices may hold court in any district.
|
Section. 418. Duty of justice to hold court in other districts.
|
[There has been no specific assignment of judges by legislative enactment since the territory comprised but three districts. For the assignment made at that time, see section 1, chapter 11, political code, 1877. The balance of said chapter is as follows:]
s. 2, c. 11, Pol. C.
§ 417. The justices of the supreme court may also, at their pleasure, hold terms of court in any of the several judicial districts other than those to which they are herein assigned.
Duty of justices to hold court other district.s. 3, c. 11, Pol. C.
§ 418. It is hereby made the duty of the several judges, when not otherwise officially engaged, to hold terms of court in districts other than those to which they are assigned, and to hear and determine all matters at chambers from such other districts, when the judge of such other district shall be, from any cause whatever, unable to act, or in case of temporary vacancy.

Boundaries.
[Statutes directly prescribing boundaries or enumerating the counties contained, have not been enacted in regard to all the judicial districts. Therefore, no attempt is made to compile the laws giving the boundaries of judicial districts.]
Subdivision of Judicial Districts.
|
Section. 419. Fixing venue, what shall be sufficient. 420. Judge may change venue, when. 421. Judge may create new subdivision. 422. Clerk and sheriff, when subdivision comprises more than one county. 423. Payment of court expenses in subdivisions comprising more than one county.
|
Section. 424. When judge may fix the amount. 425. Jurisdiction of justices of the peace over unorganized counties-When territory to pay expenses. 426. Terms of court.
|
[The judges of the various districts are empowered to create new subdivisions and fix terms of court therein. A compilation of statutes specifying certain subdivisions and terms, and omitting those fixed by the judges, would be misleading. All have therefore been omitted. The statute supplying general provisions concerning subdivisions is as follows:]
s. 9, c. 84, 1881.
§ 419. In the entitling of a cause and fixing the venue in actions or proceedings in any judicial subdivision, it shall not be necessary to name all the counties comprising the whole subdivision, but it shall be sufficient to name the county wherein the court is held.
Judge may change venue, when.s. 10, c. 84, 1881.
§ 420. All actions or proceedings, civil or criminal, now pending in any of the subdivisions in this territory which do not properly belong therein under the provisions of the code of civil procedure and code of criminal procedure, by reason of the change in the subdivisions heretofore existing by law, the venue thereof may be changed by order of the court or the judge thereof, upon the demand of either party, which demand shall be served upon the opposite party or his attorney, if either can con-
