SEC. 3. The fact that time of holding court in the 23rd
Judicial District as now fixed by law causes great inconvenience
to the farmers and other citizens who are required to
serve as jurors, and who have cases in the courts, creates an
emergency and an imperative public necessity exists that the
constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
days should be suspended, and the same is so suspended, and
this Act shall take effect, and be in force from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted.
