A memorial to the Congress of the United States, in relation to the formation of a Western Judicial District of the Circuit Court of the United States, Chap. 18. in the State of Wisconsin. The memorial of the Legislature of the State of Wisconsin respectfully repeesents: That the daily increasing population of the state of Wisconsin, and the consequent augmentation of productive labor, commercial business, trade and political intercourse of the whole state, has rendered the establishing of a Western Judicial District of the United States Circuit Court, necessary to the exigencies and demands of the people. That the location of the District Court of the United States for the State of Wisconsin, being at Milwaukee, on the extreme eastern part of the state, and more than two hundred miles from the Mississippi, on the extreme western part of the state, renders the attendance of parties, jurors and witnesses, at such court, coming from the western portion of the district, in a degree burthensome, very expensive, and at times and in instances, oppressive. We, therefore, respectfully ask your honorable bodies that a law may be passed authorizing the erection of a Western Judicial District of the Circuit Court of the United States for the state of Wisconsin, to be composed of such selection of counties as by a line as nearly central in the state as possible, as may be deemed expedient.
