51 district Pilsen. April - October 1941 Page 50. Point_17e)_Justice: Pilsen with etwe l2o.oco inhabitants, the second largest city of Böhmens, owns only a German district court, where a district court was established in the et-wa 6o.oo inhabitants of the district Budweis. It follows from this that legal proceedings before the Lendgericht must be settled at the District Court in Prague, which creates useless costs for those seeking justice from the Pilener circle. In view of the great importance of the city of Pilsen sle, the commercial and transport centre of West Bohemia, it seems necessary to move the district court from Budweis to Pilsen or to establish a new district court in Pilsen. The latter would not encounter any particular difficulties, de qd Td qo n The only additional burden on a regional court of spending would be the salary of a 4th judge who would have to be hired.
