Eighth,) there shall be a Chief Judge, and two Associate
Judges, to be styled Judges of the Circuit Court, to be
elected, or appointed as herein provided. And no two
of said Associate Judges shall, at the time of their elecr
tion, or Appointment, or during the term for which they
may have been elected, or appointed, reside in the same
County. If two or more persons shall be candidates for
Associate Judge, in the same County, that one only in
said County shall be declared elected, who has the highest
number of votes in the Circuit. In case any two candi-
dates for Associate Judge, residing in the same County,
shall have an equal number of votes, greater than any
other candidate for Associate Judge, in the Circuit, it
shall be the duty of the Governor to order a new election
for one Associate Judge; but the person, residing in any
other County of the Circuit, and who has the next high-

Judges shall hold not less than two terms of the Circuit
Court in each of the Counties, composing their respec-

at which such decision may be made; and the several
Circuit Courts shall regulate, by rules, the mode and

court in bane, and the decision of the said court in bane
