gain by this change, but whether the change ought

not to have been made long ago. Scotland, with a
population not equal to that of London and its
suburbs, has fifteen judges ; Ireland, with far less
wealth and commercial activity than Scotland, and
with a population which we are always told, except-
ing the amiable weakness of shooting landlords and
a treasonable conspiracy every five or six years, is
singularly free from crime, has twelve judges, be-
sides -a due complement of equity courts, and it
surely is not surprising that England, with-a popu-
lation twice as large as that of Ireland and Scot-

land put together, should require three more judges
than Scotland and six more than Ireland. This is no
matter of theory ; the want has been grievously felt
for many years, both by suitors and judges. The labor
imposed upon this high class of public servants has
been far too severe, and the efficiency of the
Bench and dignity of the administration of justice
have suffered grievously in consequence. Who has
not witnessed with indignation and regret, even if
entirely disinterested, and with even stronger feel-
ings if a party concerned, the absolute denial of
justice that takes place at the end of every crowded
assize ? The whole expense of a trial has been in-
curred, witnesses brought from a distance, briefs
delivered, endless anxiety undergone, and at last
the day arrives which will at any rate decide,
whether rightly or wrongly, the matter in dispute.
The cause is called on, a cause, perhaps, involving
character or considerations of which little can be
learnt from the pleadings. The Judge leans forward
and blandly intimates to the counsel on each side
that the case appears to him peculiarly well suited
for arbitration, or, if that proposal be not accepted,
that it must be made a remanet. Remonstrance is
in vain-; there really is not time to try the cause,
and so the parties are compelled either to put off
their litigation for six mouths, incurring just the
same fees, just the same expense, and just the same
anxiety over again, or to go before an arbitrator,
where a case that might have been decided in a few
hours will often drag on its length for days, or even
for weeks. There is no position in which a judge
appears to less advantage than when driving un-
willing parties to submit to arbitration. And yet
it is not his fault, but the fault of a country which,
while it professes to bring justice to every man's
door, is too niggardly to provide a sufficient number
of Judges to do the work that devolves upon them.
The expenditure in salaries occasioned by this ad-
dition will be just £15,000 a year—a small price to
pay out of our revenue for the despatch of causes
and the removal of a true and crying reproach on
the administration of justice. We may also hope
now to get rid of the unseemly spectacle of a judge
wanted in half-a-dozen placed at once,—wanted at
Nisi Prius, wanted in the Exchequer Chamber,
wanted in Chambers, wanted in the Criminal Court
of Appeal, wanted at the Old Bailey, wanted in the
House of Lords,—and that these great magistrates
may be permitted to settle down to their day's
work free from those violent interruptions and un-
expected episodes which would disturb the balance
of less clear and practised intellects. We also learn
with pleasure that this needful strengthening of the
judicial body is to be attended with a corresponding
extension of the circuits. A slight alteration was
made a few years ago, but it is really astonishing
how long we have gone on with a system so mani-
festly obsolete and old-fashioned. It is said that
opening a new post-office leads almost invariably
to a great increase of correspondence. Such has
been the effect of establishing Assize Courts at Man-
chester and at Leeds. No one can know until the
experiment is made how much the fair trial of rights
and the prosecution of offences is impeded by the
present utterly inadequate system. A separate
circuit for Lancashire, another, we should have
thought, for the West Riding of Yorkshire, an
assize at Birmingham, at Sheffield, perhaps at Wake-
field, would be immense practical improvements in
the administration of justice. The whole matter is,
as we have often pointed out, a crying scandal—an
abuse which a Liberal Government should not have
left for a Conservative Government to redress. The
change in the number of judges can, of course, only
be effected by Act of Parliament, but it is not too
early even now to express a hope that in the distri-
bution of the patronage which must arise the claims
of non-political lawyers will not be overlooked, and
that this great improvement iu ,he administration of
justice will be accominpanied with some considera-
tion for the men whose attention has been wholly
and exclusively directed to law as a profession.
The Daily News points out that it is quite evi-
dent that the American public do not at all under-
stand the actual position of the question of inter-
national copyright. In replying to our argument
on the injustice of the present state of the law, the
'Veto York Times thinks " tu quoque " to be con-
clusive and sufficient. Our contemporary admits
the injustice of the present scate of things, but thinks
it enough to reply that the injustice which British
law inflicts on American authors is as great as
that which American law inflicts on British authors.
But such a reply only strengthens our position in-
stead of weakening it, for the defect in the law is
not on our side, but upon theirs. Our law gives
the Americans the power of protecting their authors
if they will avail themselves of it by protecting ours.
The Crampton-Everett Treaty of 1854 was fully
approved on this side, but was rejected by Congress,
and any Government on this side has the power and
the will to settle the matter on the basis of reciprocal
protection and equal justice whenever the Federal
Government will enter on the negotiation. The
injustice which is done to American authors in this
country is entirely the fault of American law. The
literary men of the United States do not need to be
reminded of the true state of our copyright relations.
But it is evident that one of the first things that
they have to do is to instruct public opinion on the
subject. When the American people fully appre-
ciate the facts of the case, then justice will be done;
for the Daily News believes that a nation that has
so nobly striven for justice to the newly emancipated
slave can never be content to appropriate the labour
of the literary class of a kindred people without ac-
knowledgment or reward, or to subject their own
literary men to the reaction of such injustice.
The Economist holds that the only basis on which
our Government can propose to admit the Alabama
claims, and recognise our liability in respect of them,
is one which would give some tangible safety for
the future, and cannot see any such except the
adoption of the principle proposed at the Paris Con-
gress and unfortunately rejected, that all private
property at sea should be respected and not liable
to seizure, except under the law of contraband or
the attempt to break a blockade. Were such a
principle generally admitted, it is evident that the
use of such vessels as the Alabama would be at an
end ; and though it does not follow that new and
revolutionary Powers would necessarily accept a
principle so embarrassing to them, yet the
gradual adhesion to it of the greater naval
Powers could not but exercise a great pressure
even upon the new candidates for independence,
—the more so as such cruises as those of the
Alabama and Shenandoah really do nothing at
all to shake the power of any nation, though they
produce an immense amount of discomfort and
private calamity. It may be that in addition to this
the Americans will wish us to strengthen our
Foreign Enlistment Act in order to prevent a recur-
rence of the Alabama proceedings in the case of any
Power that may decline to recognise the new rule.
There does not seem much reasonable chance of
passing any Foreign Enlistment Act so strong that
a little craft could not dodge it. But there can be
no harm, if the TJnitediStates wish it,'in adopting any
additional precautions they like to propose. But
for effectual remedy only one course is open—the
rule of respecting private property at sea. If this
great concession to the neutral Powers be made, we
can well afford to pay with a good grace for depre-
dations for which most probably we were not legally
responsible, but which, by the exercise of a little
more care and providence, we could certainly have
prevented.
Referring to the " strikes" in the iron trade, the
Times points out a consideration which seems to have
been almost overlooked by leaders of trades' unions,
but which deserves their most careful attention. At
this moment orders are being executed for English
firms in Belgium and Prussia, and the inevitable
result of these repeated strikes will be to drive
more and more of English capital abroad. Whether
the rate of wages be ultimately determined by the
cost of living, according to the lowest standard of
comfort and decency for the time being, or whethe
it depend on the distribution of a wages-fund,r
limited in amount, no wages at all will or can
willb
tie
paid if there is no one to pay them ; and there
es
be no one to pay them if the policy of s
eliis
pushed beyond a certain point. Free trade,which
has done so much for the workman, bas done some-
thingn for the capitalist, and so m
have been opened out in our coloniesay investments
and abroad as
to raise very considerably the normal
of i raronworkste of in-
terest. Even if the existing roprietors
p
could be coerced into giving higher wages than
they can afford in the present state of the market,
others will avoid the iron trade and carry their
money elsewhere. Taking all trades together, there
is never so large a
i surplus of capital seeking em-
ployment as there s of labour in excess of the de-
mand for it ; but a still more important difference
