THE LAST SPRING ASSIZES.—Among the papers
lately printed by order of the House of Lords was one
giving an account of the number of causes tried on all the
circuits of England end Wales at the spring and summer
assizes for the last four yean, and also en account for the
last spring anises. On the Home circuit it appears there
were on the last spring assizes 11l causes; on the Midland
circuit there were 41; on the Norfolk circuit 14 ;
Northern circuit 75 ; on the Oxford circuit 63 ; on the
1 Western circuit 53; and on the North Wales and Chester
circuit 19, These returns glow a great diminution of
business, and on the last summer circuit the business uses
further diminished. As the county courts have powers to
501., and to any amount by the consent of parties, the busi-
ness of the circuits in civil matters is expected to be still
further diminished.
