Inconvenience and loss of time have been experienced by Attorneys of some concise of keeping an account of the prothe Business has thus been delayed, and unnecessary trouble ceedings, and of moneys paid or received, in each Plaint; given at the County Court Office. The Author has endeavoured to remedy this inconvenience, and hopes the Ledger published by him will prove useful to the Profession and Suitors generally. It is published in two distinct forms, one for Attorneys, and the other for Suitors; both are printed, ruled, and so arranged, as to show at one view the Proceedings taken from the issuing of Summons to Judgment of the Court; the Amount paid for Expenses; likewise the Amount received out of Court from time to time during the progress and at the termination of the Suit. It is bound in different sizes to suit the convenience of parties, viz., Foolscap Folio and Quarto; the Foolscap Folio is adapted for the Office, and the Foolscap Quarto may be used by the Suitor, either for the Office or as a Pocket Ledger. A separate account is allotted to each suit, and it forms a concise Ledger Account between Plaintiff and Defendant, also between Attorney and Client; the Attorney or Suitor having only to enter the figure representing the sum paid or received from time to time, as it occurs, opposite the printed item. The ATTORNEY'S LEDGER has an account between party and party, and immediately under that there is an account between the Attorney and his Client, so that, in case an instalment is received and paid to the Plaintiff, or in case the Attorney should have charges against the Plaintiff which are not allowed against the Defendant, or otherwise, an account may be kept of all such Receipts and Payments, in a simple and convenient form. The SUITOR'S LEDGER is similar to the Attorney's except that the Account between Attorney and Client is omitted. Considerable care has been taken, in order that every necessary item, but nothing more, may be introduced into the form; and a blank is left for items which are seldom required. It has been approved, and is published under the sanction of several County Court Clerks and Solicitors, by WILLIAM SMITH, Accountant, Warwick.

COUNTY COURT JUDGMENTS.-I fully agree with your observations on the case of Austin v. Mills. I can give you another instance of the difficulty of getting the benefit of a Co. Court judgment in the City of London. In 1850 Messrs. Vizetelly, the publishers of Fleet-street, sent a circular to me, as one of the mayors present at the York banquet to Prince Albert in October of that year, announcing their intention to publish the prince's speech in a highly finished form, at the price of one guinea per copy, and asking for a remittance of one-half the price with the order. I ordered two copies, and remitted one guinea. After waiting many months for my copies, I was at THER HE DUTIES, RIGHTS, AND last informed that the speech would not be published at all. I then asked for my guinea; it was promised, but never remitted; and ultimately I brought an THOMAS W. SAUNDERS, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, Author action for it in the Co.

With Notes, and Appendix containing Forms of Affidavit on which to procure the Warrant to Arrest, and the Writ of Capias from the Superior Courts; and also Forms of the other proceedings under the Statute. By ROBERT MALCOLM KERR, THE ABSCONDING DEBTORS ARREST ACT.-The above act has been found to work exceedingly well, and, so far as it goes, is decidedly an improvement on the law; there are, however, one or two manifest defec ts in its provisions, which, with your permission, I shall point out. The act in question was passed with a view of granting creditors an immediate opportunity of arresting absconding debtors by applying to a County Court judge, or commissioner in bankruptcy, and proving the same requisites as in a similar application to a judge at Westminster Hall, under the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110; but by a strange omission, the power of judges of the County Courts and Commissioners in Bankruptcy is limited to the case of simple debts -they cannot act in case of demands sounding in damages. The other day I was called upon to arrest a foreign captain, who, having received on board his wheat at Dantzic, only delivered 2401. worth, having no excuse to allege. I was obliged to send to London for a capias, which caused a delay of three days, and nearly allowed the defendant's ship to sail; whereas if THE HE SECOND EDITION of KERR'S of Bankruptcy could have acted, the whole proceeding the Co.

By the Absconding Debtors Arrest Act, it is necessary, immediately after having obtained a warrant and arrested the defendant, to commence proceedings before a judge at Westminster de novo, and file another affidavit, however clear and conclusive the grounds for granting the warrant in the country may have been. Such new proceedings, including a writ of summons, may be said to cost about 51., and in nine cases out of ten are entirely useless. I would suggest that the defen dant, on being arrested under a warrant, be served with country had granted the warrant. The warrant should an office copy of the affidavits on which the judge in the contain a reference to one of the Superior Courts at Westminster, to which any application in the matter must be made, and should also have a notice informing defendant that if he disputed the validity of his arrest on the ground of his not being about to quit England, or the non-existence of a debt of 201., defendant should be at liberty within three days to apply to the court named in the warrant to set aside the arrest. If defendant make no such application, then there should be no need for a London capias. Defendant should be allowed eight days to appear, if he wished to dispute the debt. If no appearance, and plaintiff "That, in case any person commence or defend any action, or sue out any writ, process or summons, or carry on any proceedings in (then the present Co. C. is described), who is not or shall not then be legally admitted an attorney or solicitor, according to this Act, or shall not himself be plaintiff or defendant in such proceeding respectively, such person shall and is hereby made incapable to maintain or prosecute any action or suit in any court of law or equity for any fee, reward, or disbursement on account of prosecuting, carrying on, or defending any such action, suit, or proceeding, or otherwise, in relation thereto; and such offence shall be deemed a contempt of the court in which such action, suit, or proceeding shall have been prosecuted, carried on, or defended, and shall and may be punished accordingly. I think the words of the above section, and the intention of the Legislature, would be held to include the cases of daily occurrence where those men prowl about after, and create disputes between, friendly persons, and so far conduct the case as to issue the summons, subpoena the witnesses, and all other proceedings up to the hearing of the cause, when they obtain some low member of the Profession to conduct the case for them; and the remedy rests with the attorneys themselves, who can exercise it, first, by advising their clients not to pay their demands; and, secondly, by bringing them before the court; but, if the last should be objected to as personal, then the clerk of the court should do so.

NEW COUNTY COURT JUDGE.-The vacancy in the Bristol Co. C. has been supplied by the appointment of Sir John Eardley Eardley Wilmot, Bart., of the Midland Circuit, and Lincoln's-inn, Recorder of Warwick. The choice of this gentleman, which was quite unsolicited, reflects the highest credit upon the Lord Chancellor, and cannot fail to be entirely satisfactory to all who are connected with the court in question. Sir Eardley Wilmot possesses a thorough acquaintance with the law both as regards its principles and its practice, and is the author and the editor of several very able and valuable law treatises. In addition to this, he is a man of excellent judgment, at once inflexible, high-minded, and independent, and is a thorough gentleman in every sense of the word. No one at the amount than the sum sworn to, then the warrant should have the effect of a judgment in the Superior Court; and on an affidavit of service, with a copy of the warrant annexed, being sent to Westminster, an execution might issue. I would in all cases save the which, as before stated, may be set down at about 57. expense of a writ of summons and a London capias, A defendant would virtually have the same check as at present, with the great additional convenience of always being supplied with a copy of the affidavit on which the warrant had been issued. If you think the above suggestions, which are the result of my experience of the working of a mercantile statute, worthy of a place in your paper, they are very much at your service. G. W. H. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Jan. 15, 1854. SHAM LAWYERS.-Now that the County Courts are established, and a great quantity of the business of the Superior Courts transferred to them, and also a great quantity of new practice created in consequence of them; and as the practice of those courts belongs entirely to the attorneys-I think it is to their interest that that part of their practice should not be encroached upon, and the suitors of the court defrauded, by those unqualified persons calling themselves "County Court agents," and going under similar designations, which class you have repeatedly tried to put down by giving publicity to their advertisements in your paper; but I think there is a much more salutary remedy than that, if it was only made use of, it is that contained in the 36th section of 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73 (An Act for Consolidating the Laws relat Court of Queen's Bench- Beswick v.

COUNTY COURTS CHRONICLE. peal lies under the Extension Act. Either party WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1. COUNTY COURT IMPROVEMENT. MANY of our readers have been already furnished with the list of questions issued by the County Court Commissioners, and have, we presume, in most instances, sent in answers containing the results of their experience. Another set of questions will soon be issued. The answers to both sets will then be considered, and the Commissioners will lay before Parliament the result of their experience. A general Act, incorporating all the present enactments relating to the County Courts, will be prepared, and the end of the Session of Parliament of 1855, will probably see the result of the labour of the Commissioners in the shape of an extended jurisdiction and an improved practice. The questions issued point to many defects which require to be remedied, whilst others only tend to unsettle and call in question a practice which has hitherto worked well. Some of the most serious defects in County Court procedure are not even alluded to. The practice in interpleader cases is defective and unsatisfactory, yet the subject is not even mentioned in the list of queries. In order to protect the high bailiff, and to facilitate the execution of process, it was thought expedient to enable the bailiff, when ever a claim is made to goods taken in execution, by any party other than the execution debtor, to obtain the decision of the County Court Judge upon the title to the goods, and so avoid liability to action for taking the goods of the wrong party. It is necessary that the officers of the Court should be protected, but their protection should be rendered compatible with the security of property, and the rights of the parties interested. Upon the first establishment of the County Courts, their jurisdiction did not extend to any case involving a larger sum than 20, but now the jurisdiction has been extended to 50l., and, by the consent of the parties, a suit may be instituted in those Courts involving an indefinite amount of property. The interpleader clause is contained in the original Act, and was framed with a view to the jurisdiction thereby given to the County Courts. The words are, however, general, and extend to any new jurisdictions that might be conferred by subsequent Acts-" If any claim shall be made to or in respect of any goods or chattels taken in execution under the process of any Court holden under this Act." It therefore extends to goods taken in execution of process in actions for any sum not exceeding 50%., and actions for a still larger sum tried by the consent of the original parties, though not with the consent or knowledge of the claimant to the goods. Thus, we may suppose that A. and B. agree to submit to the decision of the County Court Judge the question whether or not B. owes A. a sum of 10,000l., and that the Judge decides in A.'s favour, judgment would be given against B., and warrant issued against his goods. Under that execution valuable property might be taken, say a valuable cargo just arrived in the Thames. This cargo we shall suppose C. to claim as his property, and accordingly to give notice to the bailiff who has seized it. The bailiff would thereupon apply to the clerk of the Court, who in due course would summon A. and C. to appear at the County Court and contest their respective claims to the cargo. Either party may have a jury, but the decision of the County Court Judge in point of law shall be final between the parties, and in questions of fact the only a may, probably, remove the proceedings by If the claimant makes up his mind to ac- Again, the delivery of sufficient particulars of claim (if insisted on by the defendant), is a condition precedent to the right of the claimant to have the case tried on its merits, and though he has duly made his claim to the bailiff, still, the non-delivery of particulars five clear days before the return of the summons will, in effect, amount to a forfeiture of his goods. If the judge decides erroneously against the claimant on a preliminary point, there is a remedy by prohibition to the bailiff, but if the particulars be really defective, the judge is bound to dismiss the claim, and the bailiff must proceed with the execution. The practice in interpleader cases is thus most unjust to the claimant, and it is not more satisfactory to the officers of the court. The clerk issues the summons, but the claimant and execution creditor are the only parties to the proceedings;-" and the Judge of the County Court shall adjudicate upon such claim, and make such order between the parties in respect thereof, and of the costs of the proceedings, as to him shall seem fit; and such order shall be enforced in like manner as any order made in any suit brought in such Court." "An order made in a suit" is to be enforced against the goods of a party, thus: "and the clerk of the said Court, at the request of the party prosecuting such order, shall issue under the seal of the Court, a writ of fieri facias," &c. And the mode of execution against the person is as follows: "it shall be lawful for any party who has obtained any unsatisfied judgment," &c., to apply for a judgment summons. Now, we have heard of cases where the expenses of the proceedings in interpleader have considerably exceeded the value of the goods levied, and where it was the interest of both parties not to enforce the order of the Court, so as to avoid paying court fees and the officers' charges. In such cases, how is the order of the Court to be enforced? The clerk is only authorized to issue execution at the request of the party obtaining the order. If he declines to make the request, how is the order to be enforced, or the expenses recovered? The proceedings in interpleader are throughout defective, and require a complete revision. MONTHLY COMMENTARY. IN our last number we commented upon the That the horse was unsound seems to have been found as a fact by the Judge, and against that finding there was no appeal. Mr. Parry's mistake, therefore was, in supposing that, either by the rules of law or the terms of the contract, the breach of warranty gave the plaintiff a right to return the horse and recover back the price he had given for it. The Judge signed an imperfect case, and the Court of Exchequer ordered him to sign a more perfect one, which the Judge declined to do, on the ground that the parties would not agree to it.
