EDITOR-I hdve notiretl the Retriark of your Col rk-spoudeti , , ATTORNATUS, and thi►tk ividi hin►, that it the Practice in the County Courts was hilly realized icconling to filth original consti- itition, much of the inconvenience complained' of would be removed. Hut so tong as proceedings are removeable from thos‘e Courts into the King's superior Courts, the e v ils complained of must and will continue. It would be far more desirable to ttdblish a flute,, that suits for small sums or tiitiing causes should -be restri, ted to a certain expellee, and that suit Ors should have no option to exceed such expence. A Bill was introdticed a few years since to the House of Lords, eminently calculated to prevent the evils or vexations proceedings and dispropor tionate expence, and to afford facility and expe dition in minor snits ; awl in the hope that some soul' measure m'ay yet be adopted, I here take lease to submit the. outline.. At wets iotituled " Act for the more convenient Recovery of Small Debts in and Wales." I. A Court to be established for recovery of small debts in every County, in , whiCh Court a Judge to preside, with a . salary, 'to be paid oat of the County Rates. 2. Cases to be decided before a Jury. 3. Four courts, at least, to be held in' every year, and to take cognizance of Causes to the amount of 201. The proceedings in such Court to be by Plaint only, with a copy of which Plaint the deleudant to be se.rved, - and to which, he should either plead or confet4s judgment. And in case of pleading, the plaintiff to proceed to trial forthwith. 4. The Court empowered to subpoena , wit nesses ; and, up o n a verdict for plaiwitf, the Judge of the Court to award costs, - to be kidded to the sum for which the verdict is given, and thereupon judgment to be entemi and execution issue. 5. It a Defendant should he taken on a Capias, and remain one month or more in prison, and not be possessed of IN, in lands, tenements, goods and chattels, the Jndge empowered to discharge such Defendant but Execution might afterwards go against his tutute property. • 6. No person to practice in any such Courts, unless an admitted Attorney in Westminster Hall. And upon proof of misconduct, the Judge of any such Court to strike out the name of such Attor ney from the list of Practitioners in such Court. 7. Courts empowered to make Orders and Re gulations, to be confirmed by the Court of Kiag's Bench. 8. Fees established, and Attornies liable to be fined, on complaints made and proved against them. '•9.-And in case any action brought in a superior Court for any matter which might be tried in any local Court, and a verdict should be given for any plaintiff for 'debt and damage under 201. the plaintiff should have jud t iutent for such debt, a Damage only, without Costs, and-should have Exe cution only by Merl Facias on such judgment. These, Mr. Editor, are t h e out li nes o f a Bi ll, which, it carried into a Law, would, in my bumble judgment, be productive of most wholesome- and permanently beneficial effects. Your's, &C. W. R.

This higblY respectable Asso , ciationi•which has beer established little more than. 4.year, and is pa tronised by the LORD CutANcEt.t.ott, is daily ad- Vancing in the estimation of the Profession. We perceiv e that the first Anniversary is advertised to he holden on the 14th of next month, and that Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart. M.'P.. is to rake the Chair. Countenanced by the No.ble Lord at the head of the legal depertment, and directed by some of the most respectahle•Solicitors in the metropolis, the Association bids fair to render essenti4l benefit to the widow s and families of such professional men al may. die in em.harrassedi circumstances, and ter the families of those. members of the profession who in,y he involved in distress, in cimserprenee of ina,: . bility to conduct their business, through bodily or mental infirmity, or other involuntary ca,lamity. The folios in extract flout the Rules will best. explain the plan or the ; Association, byy exhibiting the nature of the authority vested in the Board of Directors for administering aid to •the objects of the intended relief : To grant relief to the widow and children of any deceased member, who may have died in distressed circumstances, and, in the event of his death, without leaving a wido , y or child, then to other relatives dependent on him for support. - allow a widow or family a suns of money, in lien of an annual payment, wills a View to an establishment in business or employment. To take measures for promoting- the interests of any de serving widow and Vimily be patronage and recommendation: To advance a sum of money for educating, apprenticing, or otherwise assisting any dt the family of a deceased member. If, through bodily or mental infirmity, or other involun- tary calamity, any member be incapacitated from attending to or conducting his business, and his family be thereby io rolred in distress, the ,! irecturs hare purer to allow him such assistance as they shall think fit. The Directors have also the powe►s in cases of emergency, under certain limitations, to extend relief to the families of profeisional men not being members of the Association. in order to insure a permanency to the AsSo , ciation, the Mars provide, that no relief is to be, granted until 10,0001. 3 per cents, ha , e been (nnded ; and we understand that 3,8001. Stock have been already purchased, and that the atinual receipts are about 6001. • Such are the objects, and such the forward state of an Institution originating in those views of enlightened humanity which ; might reason ably have,heen expected to prevail - among_ the Gentlemen with whom the 's c h eme or i g itiated.— We earnestly recommend it to the individual -at tention of all the professional men'in the metro polis and its Vicinity. Similar establishments, in other classes of society, have heretofore •re eieed the tribuie, of our bumble but zealous ap probation ; and we have only to add, that our Columns will be readily opened to 'Hoy conintn . - nicationi which may be thought conducive to the interests of so laudable an undertaking as the Law AssoCiarion.
