Brantley Wins on Court Bill in Congress
Washington reports the house passed Representative Brentley of Georgia’s bill expanding circuit court of appeals jurisdiction over interlocutory orders granting injunctions and appointing receivers. The measure, amending section 7 of the circuit courts act, would allow appeals within 30 days from such orders, with emphasis on ensuring timely review and bond options. Remarks from Brantley stress keeping final decree jurisdiction unchanged while broadening interlocutory appeal access, a reform urged by legal practitioners. Also noted is a shift in St. George church leadership as Rev William Rainsford resigns due to ill health and Rev Hugh Birckhead is elected successor at 29.
