§ 18-166. Transfer of cases between circuits.

If at any time the business of either the circuit court of the county or of the second circuit court of the county hereby created shall be unduly crowded, or if for other cause the trial of cases in either of such courts is delayed, the judge therein presiding may transfer to the other for trial, as speedily as may be convenient, such cause or causes therein pending as may be designated by such judge, by order entered upon the minutes, to the end that the business and work of such courts may be equalized; and, in case of such transfer being ordered, it shall be the duty of the clerk immediately to notify counsel interested, and the clerk shall remove into the court to which the transfer is ordered all files and papers, with copies of all minute entries pertaining to the transferred causes and shall enter such causes upon the docket of the court to which the transfer is made, and such causes shall thereupon proceed in all respects the same as if they had been originally commenced in or appealed to the court to which they are so transferred.
