REFORM
111 R. DOWNING BRUCE'S PROPOSAL FOR R 7
OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.—The plan I would
suggest may be shortly stated. All the original wills
throughout England should be deposited with the officer
appointed by the Crown ; they should all be printed
in the form of the present Chancery proceedings, and
an index of the whole should be formed. A copy should
be sent to each county court. In future, all the
wills should be printed at the expense of the executor,
arid a copy sent free to the Stamp Office. This would
save the country a considerable sum per annum. One
copy should be sent to the county court of the district in
which the person died. These wills and indexes should
be placed under the care of a proper civil officer, and
really for such a purpose none appears so proper as
the principal registrar of marriages, &c., for that
county. Each person named in the will should have a
printed notice from the prin. ipal officer of the court.
Tue county courts might decide all cases under 501., and
in disputes of a larger amount the superior courts should
I have jurisdiction. All proceedings should be exercised
in the name of her Majesty, and all proceedings headed
"Her Itiajosty's Court of Prob&to."
