[The following order was made December 7, 1892:]

It is ordered that hereafter there shall be but a single court docket, and no "special docket," and cases shall be placed thereon as follows: I. Those cases on the trial or hearing of which both of the circuit judges shall be competent to sit.

II. Those cases on the trial or hearing of which the circuit judge oldest in commission, shall be competent to sit.

III. Those cases on the trial or hearing of which the circuit judge youngest in commission, but not the other circuit judge, shall be competent to sit.

Under and with respect to each of these three general divisions, there shall be placed first in order upon the docket those cases in which the district judge assigned for the term shall be competent to sit, and immediately thereafter the cases in which he shall not be competent to sit.

Subject to the foregoing, cases shall be arranged in proper chronological order as heretofore.

[This rule as originally adopted was the same as rule 23, on page xxxii, except that it read "ten copies of the record," in place of "twenty copies of the record." It was amended September 22, 1892, by substituting "twenty" for "ten." It was again amended December 7, 1893, so as to read as follow:]

PRINTING RECORDS.

1. On the filing of the transcript, the clerk shall forthwith cause twenty copies of the record to be printed, and shall furnish three copies thereof to each party at least six days before the case is called for argument, and shall file fourteen copies thereof in his office. The parties may stipulate in writing that parts only of the record shall be printed, and the case may be heard on the parts so printed, but the court may direct the printing of other parts of the record. The clerk may demand of the plaintiff in error or appellant the cost of printing the record before ordering the same to be done. If the record shall not have been printed when the case is reached in the regular call of the docket because of the failure of a party to advance the cost of printing, the case may be dismissed. In case of reversal, affirmance, or dismissal, with costs, the amount paid for printing the record shall be taxed against the party against whom costs are given.

2. The clerk shall receive from either party, and use as parts of the printed record, so far as the same may be of proper and convenient size and type, any portions which may have been printed in any other court, and also printed copies of patents and other exhibits, allowing the party furnishing the same such sum therefor as the clerk deems. reasonable, to be added to and form a part of the cost of printing. [March 18, 1895, the following order was made:]

Ordered that, except upon special allowance by the court or a judge, no cause shall be placed on the docket for argument unless the transcript shall have been filed with the clerk, under rule 23, at least 10 days before the first day of the term.

24.

[This rule as originally adopted was the same as rule 24, on page xxxiii, except that it read "ten" for "twenty," in sections 1 and 3. It was amended September 22, 1892, by changing "ten" to "twenty," so as to conform to such rule.]
