to amend pari of the civil code. One
of the clauses would be amended to
read that "at the close of evidence,
and before tlie argument of counsel,

orally or in writing except that the
attorney for either party at the open
ing of the trial, ask that the Charge

charge the jury in writing.” Also;
“When the evidence is concluded, and
after the court hus charged the jury,
unless the case is submitted to the
jury on both sides without argument,

and the defendant then argue the
case to the jury, the plaintiff shall not
be permitted to reply to the argu
ment of the denfenant.”
