It hiae often been remarked that the furles in tho County Court were, as 8 rale, very bad, and that there has been a constant clash between the Bherllf and Judge Loomls on this subjest, and the reason kas been explatoed several times., ‘The juries have been notortously unfalr, and little elee could be expected under the present Bherlfl's systemm of dolug business.
