LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT.

Yesterday (Friday) morning the following com-
munication, addressed to Mr. Simuel Holme, was
received from the Earl of Carlisle respecting the in-
quiry into the conduct of Mr. Ranishay, the judge of
the Liverpool County Court, from which it will be
seen that his Lordship has decided that the inquiry
shall be conducted in Preston and not in Liverpool,
as had been requested by the memorialists. This will,
of course, increase the expense as well as the trouble
of conducting the case, but there is no appeal from his
Lordship's decision :

" Sir,—l am now directed to acquaint you, for the
information of the committee appointed to prepare the
late memorial to the Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, that a communication having been received
from Mr. Ramshay, repudiating the charges made
against him, his Lordship has decided to hear
evidence in support of and against those charges, on
Wednesday, the sth of November nest, at ten o'clock
in the forenoon, at the Court-house, at Preston, in the
county palatine of Lancaster, when Mr. Ramshay and
the memorialists may be respectively represented by

servant,

" FREDERICK DAWES DANVERS."
Immediately upon the receipt of this communica-
tion a meeting of the Committee was called, when it
was determined to present a memorial to the Town
Council on Wednesday next, praying that body to
undertake the conduct of the case, conceiving that it
of so great importance, and involves a ques-
tion s oneso deeply affecting not only the due administra-
tion of justice, but also the personal interest of every
member of the community, that it should be con-
ducted by the authorised heads of this community and

MICHAELMAS TERM.
Yesterday on the termination of the long vacation
the lists of the common law courts were exhibited,
with the exception of the Court of Common Pleas.
The lists are very meagre, having a,, long
vacation " appearance about them. In the Court of
Queen's Bench there are only 27 matters as arrears,
whereas some time back, before the County Courts
were established, they numbered considerably more
than 100. In the new trial paper there is only

court for judgment and 2 for argument.Of

revising barristers in the late revision of the list of
voters. Thus it will be seen that the arrears as
exhibited number only 54 rules. Such a circum-
stance has not occurred for many years, and rules
obtained in one term will be decided in the next, and
thereby much expense and delay will be avoided.
The ensuing term, commencing on Monday week,
