Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>City Courts — Boundaries of Districts — Added Territory. Where a city is divided into two districts, each having a city court, territory added to the city will, in the absence of some specific provision to the contraiy, become a part of the district to which it is contiguous, notwithstanding the act creating the courts provides that each district shall consist of certain wards “as said wards are now constituted and, established”; that provision means merely that the line of division between the two districts as so located will not be affected by subsequent changes in interior ward lines; it does not prevent the enlargement of the districts by the addition of tracts afterwards taken into the city.</p>
