The President alone, in the absence of the Associate Judges, or the President and one of the Associate Judges, in the absence of the other, shall be competent to hold a court, as also the two Associate Judges, in the absence of the President, shall be competent to hold a court, except in capital cases, and cases in chancery: provided, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the General Assembly from increasing the number of circuits and presidents, as the exigencies of the State may, from time to time, require. -- Constitution of the State, Art. V, Sec. 3.

In fixing the Terms of the Circuit Courts for the year 1845, the compiler has been guided by statutes now in force, and has copied their precise language. Should changes occur through legislative action at the session of the General Assembly for 1844-45, they can be readily noted in pencil at the proper places.
