Bittle v. Stuart

Tlie petitioner, W. A. Bittle, is a suitor in a cause pending in the Clark county circuit court, before the Hon. H. B Stuart, judge. He shows that on the third day of June, 1879, the cause was ready for trial and judgment, and that, the court being in session, he moved to proceed with the same. The court refused to do so, on the ground that it no longer had jurisdiction of the case pending, because of the act of the general assembly, which went into force on that day, entitled “An act to attach the territory ■of Clark county to the counties of Dallas and Nevada, and for other purposes.”
