| Summary: | February 12, 1848 report of the Revisors on the Circuit Superior Courts, which contained both the report and proposed bill.

The bill addressed that and more changes as it abolished the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery; divided the state into 16 circuits instead of 22; and established a Superior Court in lieu of the General Court.
