Ma. DOWNING BRUCE'S PROPOSAL .'OR A REFORM Zb.
OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.—The plan I
uld 15
suggest may be shortly stated. All the original wills
- •k
throughout England should be deposited with the officer
88-
appointed by the Crown ; they should all be printed 10
in the form of the present Chancery proceedings, and
an index of the whole should be formed. A copy should 10
be sent to each county court. In future, all the 25
10
wills should be printed at the expense of the executor,
and a copy sent free to the Stamp Office. This would 1.0.6
save the country a considerable sum per annum. One st
copy should be sent to the county court of the district in 26
which the person died. These wills and indescer, should
and 25
be placed under the care of a proper c
c. for as 25
ivil oex ffi
really for such a purpose none appears so proper as
1.2
the principal registrar of marriages, &,
county. Each person named in the will should have a
printed notice from the principal officer of the court. r
The county courts might decide all cases under 50/., and St.
in disputes of a larger amount the superior courts should 1
li in the name of her Majesty. and all pro
have jurisdiction. All proceedings should be exercised 17
i "Bier Majeety'e Court of Probate." I
