LONDON, DECEMBER 24, 1881. IT IS UNDERSTOOD that the Council of Judges, after considering a proposal that, for the future, the Trinity Sittings should end on the 10th of August, and the Michaelmas Sittings should begin on the 24th of October, came to the following resolutions :-" (1) Considering the heavy and continuous strain, mental and physical, throughout the greater part of the year, on the judges and the leading members of the bar, heavier and more continuous, as the judges believe, than on any persons employed in any other vocation, the judges being of opinion that it would be inexpedient to shorten the period of the summer legal vacation, which has, because of the necessity of a long rest, existed for so many years, recommend that no alteration be made in the Long Vacation. (2) The judges being of the same opinion from a consideration of the habits of the majority of the people interested in such a question, an interference with which habits in the manner proposed would, in the opinion of the judges, entail a serious hardship on jurymen and witnesses, and on suitors, solicitors, and officers, without any established necessity for the proposed alteration, recommend that no alteration be made in the Long Vacation." assisted the late Mr. STREET, R.A., in the course of the undertaking. Every essential design has been made by the late architect, and it only remains to carry them out. The groined roof of the Central Hall has been completed; the supports for the floors of the courts are being put in position, and as soon as the floors are laid, the fittings, which are already prepared, will be fixed. ONE OF THE STRANGEST EPISODES connected with the trial of GUITEAU for the murder of the late President of the United States, is the lecture on the case delivered in Washington by the prisoner's counsel. According to the telegraphic accounts, Mr. SCOVILLE, while the trial was proceeding, seems to have thought it becoming to address a popular audience on behalf of the prisoner, discussing the conduct of the trial, urging his belief in the insanity of the prisoner, and predicting that "if he was hanged, the post audience are stated to have adopted a resolution sympathizing mortem examination would prove him to be insane." And the with the prisoner's family, and " 'complimenting Mr. ScoVILLE for Mr. SCOVILLE that the trial and this little episode did not occur on his management of the case." All we can say is that it is well on this side of the Atlantic. Mr. SKIPWORTH will be able to testify that the cost of like proceedings here is somewhat heavy; not less than a fine of £500, and a sentence of three months' imprisonment, inflicted by summary order of the court. But it is Vice-probable that the law of contempt of court has not yet reached in America the development it has received here in recent years. American judges probably do not think it worth while to notice comments of fanatical adherents of a defendant, and have probably no great sympathy with the exercise of an irresponsible power of punishment by the very tribunals whose conduct is called in question. DIRECTIONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN that the chief clerks of Chancellor BACON shall, during the Christmas Vacation, remove into the chambers prepared for them in the west wing of the Royal Courts of Justice; but doubts are entertained whether the rooms are sufficiently dry for immediate occupation. A NEW PRACTICE under which, perhaps, ultimately all motions will be placed in the paper of the day, has been initiated by Mr. Justice FRY, who has directed that all notices of motion by leave for days other than those appointed for motions shall be placed in the paper of the day, and at the head of it, unless otherwise ordered. It will be observed that this does not apply to motions to be made on the regular motion days. MR. JUSTICE KAY announced on Wednesday that the whole of the business now before Mr. Justice CHITTY would be transferred to his court during the absence of Mr. Justice CHITTY on circuit, and that all the business of his court would be transferred to Mr. Justice MANISTY during the same period. Mr. Justice MANISTY will occupy the Rolls Court, while Mr. Justice KAY will continue to sit in his own court. THE RESIGNATION by Sir MONTAGUE SMITH of his office as paid judge of the Judicial Committee, following the death of Sir JAMES COLVILLE, brings into operation the provision of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, 1876, authorizing the appointment of a third Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, who it is to be presumed will be a Privy Councillor, and, subject to the performance of his duties as to the hearing of appeals in the House of Lords, will sit as a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It is probably not premature to conjecture that the announcement of the intention to confer a peerage on Sir G. W. BRAMWELL has some connection with the appointment of a new Lord of Appeal. WE BELIEVE that the works at the Royal Courts of Justice will be completed under the direction of the gentlemen who have "that THE ACTION of the Scottish committee to which we referred last week has been followed up by a meeting of a joint committee of representatives of legal bodies in different parts of Scotland, at which five resolutions were passed in favour of the exemption of Scotland from the provisions of ord. 11, r. 1. It is declared that the provisions of rule la "have not had the anticipated effect of abating the grievance complained of," and the complaint is made afresh that the practice objected to involves a breach of the 19th article of the Act of Union. As to this, it is sufficient to say that the article referred to provides no causes in Scotland shall be cognoscible by the Courts of Chancery, Queen's Bench," &c.; but the actions to which the procedure is restricted by ord. 11, r. 1—viz., actions in which the subject-matter is property situate within the English jurisdiction or acts, deeds, wills, or things affecting such property, and actions upon contracts made or broken within the English jurisdictioncannot properly be said to be “ causes in Scotland." The convenience of English plaintiffs is, of course, altogether ignored, but we hope that the Council of the Incorporated Law Society will see that this question is pressed on the attention of the Govern ment. IT IS ANNOUNCED that, in the event of a vacancy being caused in the representation of the borough of Malmesbury by the death of Mr. POWELL, certain gentlemen will offer themselves as candidates for the vacancy. It is, unfortunately, only too probable that the vacancy in question has occurred; but it may well be doubted whether there is sufficient evidence of Mr. PowELL's death to justify the Speaker in issuing his warrant for an election during the recess. The machinery for such an election is fully provided by 24 Geo, 3, c. 26. This Act provides that the Speaker may issue |
