According to " MANWOOD" the Attachment Courts
of a forest ought to be held every forty days; mist
least three of these courts in each year ought to be
liwaninietes. At the Attachment Courts the hewn
and officers of a forest are sworn to present all
parties committing offences against forest law. At
the Bwanimotes such cases ought to be heard and
decided. These courts are held by the forest ver-
de:we, who are elected by the freeholders of the
county in which the forest is situated. Their office le
'trivalent to that of a magistrate, and the Buil-
mote is in fact nothing more than the forest eseness,
Those who have a lively recollection of the mien
era cannot have forgotten, that about the time whim
/insure offices were pretty liberally diecussed there
were two, of some importance in respect of salary,
that met with particularly black exposure in the
Black Book, and particularly decided coademnadem
from the public. Therm were the two Chief lonises
in Byre north and south of Trent—of whom
body said that they were receiving several thsasamit
a Fier ter doing nothing, and that their Aims met
die en with the then occupants.
Well, the iodide died out, and the offices fell into
deensteds. Few people know now that there ever
IMO stash dignitaries—perhaps not a dozen in all
Waabie precisely to define what were their
irbilst they lived. We might have searched
a theneand records to have established the truth. It
happmsd, however, to turn up the other day, and we
are, someepeatly, able to state it. The Chief Justices
in Byre famed the courts of appeal from the decisions
of the Swanimotes.
Parliament has been informed upon competent au-
thority that the last of these remarkable Chief Justices
did nothav—but receive his salary—daring the last
40 years of his existence. Judging eh the mat
we published from Lyndhurst last '"Ceek, had he
lived 400 years, the good old gentleman would pro-
bably have bean as little troubled as daring all the
entire 40. Thu eases before the verderere
were, se we are told, "of the most
paltry character." Poor Mr. Pero, the oontrsotor,
was pmenled because some workmen had left a
sleeper or two ft the forest turf, to its extreme in-
flostimmplem sad Dorchester Railway

Wing ma nn dolma to be no encroachment what-
ever. An untatemete forester was presented for
" nelawfully taking the droppings of cattle from the
fared, to the great injury and detriment of the

poliably be tried and fined fin ; the railway
will be acquitted; and the forester very
be sent to the treadmill. But might not
tint lag led offences be dealt with withoet any
emit mail end as this Bwanimote appears to be?

defined, made clear, consolidated, and established. So
it is pretemsd. Bat under sect. 100 of this act any
person egoist whom a presentment is made for an
encroachment may plead "a right to the soil," in
which ewe it becomes necessary to have recourse to

ings against him at Mee, and the crown mud
proceed in the highest courts at an expense to which,
of course, they are unwilling to put the public.
a The authority of these courts conflicts and clashes
with the interests of the crown and the public." The
forests are blessed with three sets of officers :
first, the Lord Warden, who is appointed by
the crown to take care of the vest and
Tenses, sad who has a °meliorable establish-
ment t wood, the verderers and regards's, who
are appelated by the freeholders to take care of their
comma rights ; and third, the Woods and Forests
and their officers, who have the superintendence and
sennel of land and timber and ell therewith coo-
-1 sista Now no stronger example can be given of
the way these divers interests dash than an instance
taken the New Forest. Some years ago the
crown were disposed to sell portions of their land. A
number of applications were made far leave to par-
chase small quantities, which would have given great
additional value to several small private estates. The
eerier= met: they objected to all these applications,
and (with one dissentient) they determined to
advise the Commissioners of Woods and Forests
only to make exchanges of land of equal value
and equally convenient, and not to sell. The
commissioners sent back this resolution fee
reconsideration; the verderers were inflexible; and
all that the authority of government was able to obtain
was a settlement of the then exiling application. in
favour of the applicants ; the commissioners consent leg
—yes, absolutely consenting—that in f stare they
mild not sanction the sale of any of their own pr-
perty ! Thus, at the present moment, the commis-
inners absolutely cannot sell a parch of their own
land, whatever pries you may be disposed to offer
for it!
This, of itself, we should think a sufficient reason for
the abolition of these court,. If other reasons are
wanting, we can find plenty; and shall be quite
ready, if necessary, to adduce them hereafter.
Their entire irresponsibility may be just hinted at
as one strong point against them: the capital venison
diner which they manage to secure is about the beet
point in their favour, though it is at the expense of
the crown. When we think of the dinner which
follows the Swenimote we scarcely wonder that the
New Forest verdant, should have decided on reviving
their forttlielorsirts. A late Lord Mayor thought
a " swan- "ought to be held ones a week for
the sake of turtle. The verderers probable think
a Beranimote worth holding once smooth far the sake
of the haunch. Each eerier.: is entitled to a per-
quisite of "am book and one doe yearly." We pro-
pose to give them two of each if they_oossent to hold
the office after the admirable media of the " late
Chief Justice in Byre
