COUNTY COURT AUDIENCE.—THE BAR AND THE
UNBARRED.—Mr. Bird, barrister of this city, attended the
court on Friday. in full professional costume, and stated it as
his determination to regularly attend the sittings of the
court; in order to form the nucleus of a bar, in consequence
of the Government having withdrawn any further opposition
to the Mill now before Parliament for tie extension of the
jurisdiction of these courts to .SO/. He therefore claimed in
that court concurrent audience, and he was about to do it
out of the court and carry on his profession independently,
.by audience with clients, without any instruction from or
influence of any other branch of the profession. He was,
although late in life, about to take a step which, he was told,
he ought to have taken long ago; he was, at whatever
labour or cost it might be attended, about to obtain the de-
cision of the highest courts upon the point, in vindication t f
the bar, and the rights of the people. This might not be
much benefit to him, because his time was fast passing away,
but-it Might be of benefit to others, and tend to rescue his
memory from
•
much obloquy. He should also try the ques-
tion as to other courts.—Exeterfying Post.
