Gen eral, These are all eminent names in the English law, while the last has few peers in science, philosophy, and general learning, If the law's delay was a proverbial grievance under the administration of these celebrated jurists, it is not wonderful that it is now, and in our country, two hundred and fiity Years after Suakvsrevne was laid to rest under the pavement of the old chureh at Btratford-upon- Avon. The Judges of the higher State Courts in this city, after nine months of incessant and severo labor, are just entering upon their usaal and much-needed summer vacation. They leave behind them a vast mass of un- Gnished civil business, or rather, we should say, of business which they have not entered upon at all. We dare not undertake to state how many hundreds of causes of the class just mentioned there now are cunbering the calendars of these Courts, ‘They may be called legion, afd unless some romody devised, the list secs Likely to to the crack of doom The fourteen Judges of the three Courts referred to—the Supreme, the Superior, and the Common Pleas—are not to blame for these delays. In point of learning, industry, ond integrity, they are fully equal to the Judges of the same classes in any part of the Blate, As the Courts are now organi primary cause of the law's delay in th ie the large einount of business which is ro quired to be lone by so small a number of Judges; and in this particular, on account of the steady increase of iti the evil grows worse and worse after year, It is within bounds to say that one-fourth of all the civil business of the higher Courts of this State is transacted before the tribunals of this metropolis, and yet only about oneninth of the judicial force of the State is located here. With ths marked disparity between the amount of work to be done and the number of oflicers assignod to perform it, is it marvellous that this judicial district affords a more siriking illustration of Hamlet's grievance than either of the other seven districts of the Site, ex- copting possibly the Sceond ? One of the obvious means, therefore, for relieving the stagnant stream of jurispru- dence in this metropolis is to largely inercase the number of its Judges, But as tais is hopeless without the interposition of the Legislature, which does not moot till six Mouths hence, it seems to us that our present Judges can, iomodiately after tho summer Vieation, institute a reforin in rogard to the trial calendars which will relieve thos plethoric documents of half the load that now stifles then, an be wh out 1, the tion, year Tt is safe to assume that about one fourth of tie cases that cumber the calendars are More trash, which a single breath from the Dench would blow to atouis. ersmble to dust at th They would touch of the judicial Like @ dilapidated Druiser in the prize ring, they woutd fail to come to time on the call of tho umpire. ‘The merits of anoth + fn. fséiaas the compass of au \ brief but scorching inquiry vould make (Loy apparent, aud pepe would be subwitved to his tint, leaving bis Hoaor vo digpone of the trivia! uuto oe on Lue spot, or digest the little bits other missions in foreign countries, aaiceabesns "echee The Ponishment of Betting in England.
