This practice prevailed until 1917. when the judge in charge of trials was compelled to assign the criminal work to the judge taking the ex parte and motion work. For some time this judge took. in addition to the motions and ex parte work. criminal trials on Mondays and Tuesdays. The pressure of business continued to increase. and for over a year now it has been the practice of.one judge to try equity. common law. and admiralty cases. while the other judge did all of the ex parte workthat is. applications for orders. and so forth.general motion calendar on Wednesdays at 2 oclock. naturalizations on Thursday morning. bankruptcy calendar on Fridays at 2 oclock. and criminal trials at every other moment that it was possible for him to be on the bench. The result has been that instead of deciding cases tried before him during the preceding months. during office hours. itwas necessary for him to come down to his chambers during the evenings and on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. It is no uncommon thing for tie judges to spend from half past 8 in the morning until after 6 in their chambers. go to dinner and return. working until after 1.1 at night.
