'The supreme. oourt of Russia, which will' sit iniMoscow,” will have three branches One will be for criminal cases, one for civil, and the other a court of appeal. There will be also district co to try cases of local importance, and the ‘Peo- ' courts corresponding to police trates, will operate in each vil- 1 and city district’ to try minor afenses.
