COUNTY COURT.

(Blfitre Yr. Tindal Atkins Judge.)

The newly-appointed County Court Judge first
lanPwared in the Weymouth Curt on Saturday, when hs
was welcomed by a rat'ler full her, and Mr. Arian
congratulated him on his aprvintmenr, and was quit*
sure that al would receive iodice at his hand.
Hr. Mane, OA the younesit practitioner, both in the
Court and the town, coincided with the remake of Mr.
Arden, and
Mr, Pally Hooper. ag Town Clerk, trusted the amicable
relations which bid hitherto existed would continue to
chit.

--.11; Judge said he hid had be pleasure of being
translated from amongst large and busy populations to
a more genial climate with Moores of beauty to which he
had not been accustomed. With regard to the poorer
clue of suitors, it was his object to ensure that no man
shall leave the court without being fully heard. Hs knew
how importtnt it was to the poorer classes of ottitots, to
whom shillings are more importance than pounds to the
richer suitors, f r them to feel that, thouzh the cases have
not bum decided in the way they wished, yit still they
have justice done, in a patient listening to their cases..
One alteration in the metiers of the court, he proposed—
to give the defendant's advocate the right of summing up
his ease. If a witness had made a blundering answer,
instead of the cam being decided on that blunder, his
advocate would explen it away in a moment. He WU
sure that opportunity would net ho abused by speeches
being made, except an explanation of any blund 1.1 that
might have occurred
