the United States and British North American posses-

freight. • Prior to her departure copies of the London
daily journals were placed on bard by Messrs. Will-

institutions of the Western Continent.

Mr. Russell Gurney, havingbeen eleoted to the
office of Common, Sergeant, bas resigned the Commis.
sioner:hip at the Central Criminal' Court, and the
judgeship of the Sheriffs' Court of London. We .ire
informed that a large number of the members of the
Corporation anxious to secure the services of the best
man, have requested Mr. Prendergast, the Queen's
Counsel and Recorder of Norwich, to offer himself for
the vacant Judgeship. • No better selection could have
been made. Mr. Prendergast, from his varied practice,
both civil and criminal, must have-had just that expe-
rience which-is required for these offices. W 9 have, on
several occasions, observed that Mr. Prendergast has
been called upon by the judges, when on circuit, to assist
them' in the trial of cau,es ; he holds a high judicial
office in a large town, and was recently appointed by
the Government the Chief Commissioner of the inquiry
at Barnstaple. The learned gentleman appears, there-
fore, to have the confidence of those best .capable of
judging, and we do not doubt but that judges, when
sitting at the Central Criminal Court,. will !so glad to,
avail themselves of his extensive knowledge and expe-
rience in criminal law,
