This is newly created Lookout Judicial Circuit. The law, in Section 1, called fer Dade and Catoosa counties to be taken out of the Cherokee Circuit and Walker and Chattco- ga counties to be taken out of the Rom* Circuit and placed the new Circuit to be known as the Lookout Judicial Circuit. Section 4 of this law says that the judge of this new circuit ■'shall be elected at the general election of 1950 and take office for a term beginning January 1, 1951.” Section 5 provided that all business nbw pending in the Superior Courts of the counties of this newly created circuit "be- come a part of and are hereby transferred and placed in the Lookout Judicial Circuit and its jurisdiction.” Judge H. F. Nichols of the Rome Circuit last week declared himself without jurisdiction In Walker and Chattooga Counties. He had already finished his Court in Chattooga County and before beginning court in Walk¬ er County for which the juries were already drawn, sent a test case to the Court of Appeals ask¬ ing a ruling on the Jurisdiction question within the next 30 days. An early decision is expected. Gov. Talmadge has asked At¬ torney General Cook’s office for a ruling as to whether the two former judges shall continue to serve these counties.
