year, and in each of the counties there shall be held bi-monthly terms
of the circuit court of such county, four of which terms in those counties
in which more than four terms are provided, to be designated by the
judge thereof, shal] be known as quarterly terms, at which all civil cases
for which juries may be required shall be tried, unless the judge of any
circuit shall enter of record that juries shall be summoned to other than
the quarterly terms for the trial of civil cases.

At any of the said terms all criminal and chancery causes shall be
tried, but the judge of the court may, in any county in which more than
five terms are provided, by an order to be entered on the common law
order book of said court, omit one of the terms thereof during each year,
unless the public business shall require that all of the said terms be held
for the proper transaction of business.

in the said counties and cities shall be as follows: provided, that any term
of a circuit court for any of the counties or cities of any circuit may
be continued by the judge thereof, by adjournment, until after the begin-
ning of the term of the court for any other county or city of such
