ADMINISTRATION OF OATHS BY LONDON COMMIS-
SIONERS.—AIording to the present practicrl, commis-
sions for takin afildavits in the several superior courts
of common law aro issued to every attorney residing at
the distance of 10 miles or upward from London ; but
such commissions do not authorise the administration
of an oath within 10 Miles of London. The consequence
of this reetrieVon is, that any deponent residing 10
mules or more from London can make an affidavit in
auy action or other, proceeding before the nearest attor-
ney who has obtained a commission, at any hour most
convenient to all parties ; but if the deponent reside in
London, or within 10 miles, he must either travel be-
yond 10 miles from London t" a commissioner,- or must
attend the court, or at the judge's chambers, within et r-
taiu limited hours. It has therefore been 'submitted to
the Chief Jestices and the Chief Baron that the public
convenience and the saving of expense to the suitor in
common law proceedings
.would be consulted by grant-
ingot commissions to a sufficient number of attorneys
crying on business in different parts of London to the
distance of 10 miles therefrom. The Council have e
yet received a reply tr their application.-Solicit, ~
