NEW LAW COURTS.

(From the Solicitor's Journal.)
The common la.* business has now become so
large, that two, or even three, judges of one or more
courts have Heel cases "simultaneously during the
past yeer. Now it was stated some time ago that
the late Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was
under the necessity of ascending 85 steps to reach
the roam then appropriated for his sittings in term
at Nisi Pe ins, and that aged and feeble witnesses
had declared themselves incapable of obeying the
exigency of the subpoena served upon them. The
Common Pleas, in fact, has no second court at all,
and has been obliged, until lately, to content itself
with what is called in the memorials of the Law
Society "a temporary room somewhere about
Westminster Hall," and at a considerable distauce
either perpendicular or horizontal, or both, from
the chief scene of business. The Exchequer had
always the enjoyment of a second court—a recon-
dite cell, with a single narrow access, intended, we
believe, for the sittings of the Court of Error.
Perhaps if this were the original plan, the archi-
tect was not much to blame. It is true that the
conclave of eight or more judges on appeals did
not gain in solemnity by being poked into an ob-
scure hole like this ; but it might be justly calcu-
lated that no impression made by this tribunal could
ever extend far. The dry legal discussions of the
Exchequer Chamber would seldom ole` ain a single
listener free to go elsewhere, and the public would
never be seen in the Court of Error unless they got
there by mistake. But whatever idea may have
possessed the designer's mind, this he certainly did
not contemplate, that Mr. Edwin James, on a sul-
try summer afternoon, should address a c minion
jury on a question interesting to grooms and cab-
men. The Queen's Bench have also a second coin t,
originally appropriated, as its name implies, to
taking bail—a process which could have but slender
interest either for the town idler or the country
sight-seer, and which, therefore, might well go on
in an apartment utterly inadequate for the trial of
Nisi Prisi causes.
We are well aware that the evils above described
have been lately, to a great extent, mitigatedbyhold.
ing the sittings of the equity courts almost en-
tieely at Uncoln's-inn. The exhilarating sport of
hunting a Vice-Chancellor up turrets and along gal-
leries is now enjoyed by counsel and solicitors
only upon the first day of term ; and the only two
tolerably good courts belonging to the Chancery
judges at Westminster are generally available for
the use of their brethren at common law. But
the concession thus made of one part of the origi-
nal demand places beyond all dispute the expe-
diency of a total changes The inconvenience of
sitting at a distance from the chambers of counsel
and solicitors, and from the offices of the court,
coupled with the existence, clog 3 to Chancery-lane
of accommodaeion which, though by no means ade-
quate, is at least as good as any that is to be found
at Westminster, has determined the judges upon
the virtual abandonment of their ancient seats.
At common law, the delay and difficulty of tran-
sacting judicial business at WestminSter is quite as
keenlyfelt ; but there are no old halls or new brick
sheds within the precincts of the Temple to render
the protest of its inhabitants against the waste of
thir time unanswerable. That daily walk along
the Strand and Parliament street, which Lord St.
Leonardo declared to be a positive advantage on
the score of health, is still obligatory upon the
Templars, or may be exchanged at pleasure for a
river voyage, which it is very likely that some
other sage, equally superior to modern prejudices,
has in some other-blue book, proclaimed to be the
true specific for securing length of days. But we
venture to hope that the physical well being of
barristers practising in the Temple may not be
found irreconcilable with the economy of their own
and of official and judicial time. A system which
15 years ago.was defended almost solely by Lord
St. Leonards must surely be now verging upon its
decline. It is pleasant to hear how much a man of
eminent ability can find to say, where one might
have thought there was nothing to be said at all.
The argument is curious, but it does not satisfy
our miuds. When manufacturers and even trades-
men employ the telegraph to communicate over
the width of a single street, it cannot be good policy
to separate one portion of the lawyers from the rest
by an interval of upwards of a mile, which must
be traversed backwards and forwards through-
out the day in *tbs. The wisdom of concentration
I indisputable. 'Caere are but two places which
can claim to le selected for the site, and either of
them would be available if desired. Even the
money is ready for the whole work, and nothing is
wanting but the necessary effk..rt to Bet the official
machinery in motion.

THE INDIAN MAIL•

Tho following mail packets are on the Calcutta
and Suez line :—the Bengal, Alma, Nubia, Ben-
tinck, Hindostan, and Ava. The following are on
the Bombay and Suez line :—the Ottawa, Singa-
pore, Ganges, Bombay, Madras, Pekin, Aden,
Norma, and Cadiz. The packet bound to Suez
from Calcutta may be detained a day at Madras,
and also five days at Point de Gallo, in case the
China packet has not arrived there. The packet
for Suez from Bombay is not detained on her pas-
sage, except to coal at Aden. Some of the above-
mentioned packets are slow and others very fast.
It would be most desirable if the authorities at Cal-
cutta and Bombay would send word every packet
what steamers they purpose despatching with the
next homeward mails, because frefin a knowledge in
England of the speed of the steamers in question it
could be estimated pretty nearly when they would
arrive at Suez, and much anxiety would be pre-
vented thereby in this country. The Bombay and
Suez packets also trade between Bombay and
