When he (Lord Campbell) was upon the bench he always had this work by him, and no Statutes were ever referred to by the Bar which he could not find in it." This important Work will be continued annually, by an Edition of the Statutes, arranged on a similar plan, with a full Index, being published shortly after the close of each Session. Edited by E.

Ir has been decided several times at chambers that the county court statutes do not apply to actions commenced under the Bills of Exchange Summary Procedure Act, 18 & 19 Vict. c. 67; and therefore, that although the sum recovered might not exceed 201., yet the plaintiff would be entitled to his costs. It is now, however, enacted by the 4th section of the County Court Amendment Act, that the provisions of the county court statutes applicable to any debt not exceeding 201. shall apply to such debt, although the same may be secured by, or claimed upon, a bill of exchange or promissory note. With regard to that class of sections which relate rather to the constitution and procedure of the courts than to their jurisdiction, we may notice the following: A person hereafter appointed a deputy to the judge of a county court must be a barrister of seven years' standing, or must have practised as a barrister and special pleader for that period, or must himself be a judge of a county court. (Sect. 6). The clerk of a county court is to be called "the registrar of the court;" and no person is hereafter to be appointed registrar of more than one court. (Sect. 8). A summons may be served, or warrant executed, within 500 yards of the boundary of the county court district from which it issued, or, by order of the judge issuing it, within any other district.

(Sect. 18). A county court judge has power to change the venue, where satisfied by either party that the cause can be more conveniently or fairly tried in another county court. (Sect. 22). If the action be for a liquidated money demand exceeding 201., the plaintiff may, if he pleases, issue a special summons, (the form of which is given in the schedule); it is to be served twelve clear days before its return; and if the defendant does not, six clear days before the return, give to the registrar notice in writing, signed by himself or his agent, of his intention to defend, the plaintiff may, on or within one month after the return-day, without any proof, have judgment entered for the amount of his claim, and costs; the order thereupon is to be for payment forthwith, unless he has consented in writing, at the time of the entry of the plaint, to take it by instalments. (Sect. 28). Immediately after the last day for giving notice of defence, the registrar is to send a letter to the plaintiff, stating whether the defendant has been served with such summons, and whether he has given such notice. (Sect. 29). A county court judge may, upon application on affidavit by either party, issue a warrant for bringing up a prisoner under any commitment, except under process in any civil proceeding, to give evidence in his court; the warrant is to have the same effect as a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum; and a tender of a sufficient sum for the conveyance and maintenance of a proper officer and of the prisoner is to be made. 30 mons may (Sect. 31). This is the only section in the new act and such landlord may come in and defend. The sumupon the subject of evidence. be posted on the premises, if the tenant cannot The following clauses relate to certiorari, prohibition, be found and his dwelling is not known. A warrant to and mandamus. A rule or summons to shew cause why a writ of certiorari or prohibition should not issue may be made a stay of proceedings, and the judge of the county court is then to adjourn the hearing until the rule, &c. is determined; but if a copy of the rule, &c. is not served on the opposite party, and on the registrar, two clear days before the day of hearing, the party who obtained it may be ordered to pay the costs of the day, unless the superior court or a judge thereof has made an order respecting such costs. A similar provision is made with regard to the costs if the certiorari or prohibition, granted on an ex parte application, and addressed to the county court judge, has not been lodged with the registrar, and notice of its issuing been given to the opposite party, two clear days before the day of hearing. When an application is made for a writ of prohibition to a county court judge, the matter is to be finally disposed of by rule or order, and no declaration or other proceeding in prohibition is allowable. No writ of mandamus is to issue to a judge or officer of a county court for refusing to do any act relating to his office, but a rule or order is to have the same effect. This is similar to the clause in the 11 & 12 Vict. c. 44, relating to magistrates. The refusal of a certiorari or prohibition, or of a rule or order in the nature of a mandamus, shall be final; but there may be an appeal from a judge to the court, or a second application on different grounds. (Sects. 40-44). give possession justifies the bailiff in entering on the premises, between the hours of nine A. M. and four P.M., within three months from its date. When goods are seized under process of a county court, the landlord may claim and be paid the rent due to him for four weeks, where the tenement is let by the week; for two terms of payment, where it is let for any other term less than a year; and the rent of one year in any other case. (Sects. 53–56, 75). Bankruptcy or insolvency of a plaintiff in an action, which the assignees may maintain for the benefit of creditors, is not to abate it, if the assignees elect to continue and give security for costs. (Sect. 62). The practice in replevin will be as follows:-Registrars of county courts, as we have seen, will fill the place of sheriffs in granting replevins. The action of replevin may be commenced and determined in a superior court, but in that case the replevisor must give security not only for the rent or damage and costs, but it must also be conditioned to commence the action against the distrainor in one week, and diligently to prosecute the same; and, unless judgment go by default, to prove that the replevisor had good ground for believing either that the title to some hereditament, toll, market, fair, or franchise was in question, or that the goods if so adjudged. If the action be commenced the rent or damage exceeded 207., and to make return of in the county court, the security is for the amount of rent or damage, and the costs; the condition is for the commencement of the action within one month, the diligent prosecution thereof, and a return of the goods if so adjudged. But any action of replevin thus comfendant into a superior court, upon his giving security menced in a county court may be removed by the deconditioned to defend the action with effect, and to prove that he had good ground for believing that the title (as above) was in question, or that the rent or damage exceeded 201. (Sects. 63—67). An appeal lies in replevin where the amount of rent or damage exceeds 201.; so in actions for the recovery of tenements, where the yearly rent or value exceeds that amount; so in proceedings in interpleader, where the amount claimed or value of the goods exceeds that amount. An appeal also lies in all actions where the parties agree that the Court shall have jurisdiction. On the other hand, however, parties may agree in writing, before the decision of the judge is pronounced, that such decision shall be final. This agreement will not require a stamp. (Sects. 25, 68, 69), With regard to judgments and executions, it is enacted, that where judgment has been obtained for a sum not exceeding 207., it may be ordered to be paid by such instalments as the judge may think fit; but in all other cases the amount is to be paid forthwith, or within fourteen clear days, unless the plaintiff consent to give further time. The registrar is to enter the precise time of application for warrants against goods, and they are to be executed in the order of entry; and when writs have issued from a superior court and a county court against the goods of the same party, the right to the goods seized is to be determined by the priority of time of delivery to the sheriff or of the application to the registrar. A summons for commitment may, by leave, issue from the court in which judgment Every security required to be given under the County was obtained, although the judgment debtor may not Court Acts is to be at the expense of the party giving then dwell or carry on business within its district. in which any action on the bond is brought may, by it, and in the form of a bond with sureties. The Court Warrants of commitment continue in force for one rule or order, give such relief to the obligors as may be year. No order for commitment is to be drawn up or just, and the rule or order will have the effect of a deserved. A county court judgment for an amount ex-feasance of the bond. In all cases a deposit of money ceeding 201. may, if there are no goods which can conveniently be taken under it, be removed into a superior court, and have the full effect of a judgment thereof, except that no action can be brought upon it. No officer or party is to be deemed a trespasser for an irregularity in the form or execution of a county court warrant. (Sects. 45-49, 59, 60). The proceedings relative to obtaining possession of small tenements and the payment of rent are thus regulated :—A sub-tenant served with a summons to recover possession must give notice thereof to his immediate landlord, under penalty of forfeiting three years' rack-rent, may be made in lieu of any other security. A claimant must, in order to prevent their sale, deposit their value, of goods taken in execution under county court process or pay the costs of keeping possession until the claim is adjudicated upon. (Sects. 70-72). Amendments necessary for determining the real question in controversy between the parties are to be made, if duly applied for, and the judge may at all times amend errors in the proceedings. (Sect. 57). Affidavits to be used in a county court may be sworn before a judge or registrar of a county court without the payment of any fee, or before a commissioner to administer oaths in Chancery or for taking affidavits in a superior court, or a justice of the peace. (Sect. 58). PROSPECTUS OF THE LECTURES To be delivered during the ensuing Michaelmas Educational Term by the several Readers appointed by the Inns of Court. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AND LEGAL HISTORY.
