Sessions in Wales are maintained to do the judicial business of
Wales—or rather a small part of it, both as to the number sad
value of the causes, for the most important Common Law causes
are carried id the next English county, and those in Equity to the
Court of Chancery, while the myriads of petty suits. in which the
ancient Britons delight, fatten the attorneys of the County Courts
where the Under Sheriffs preside. The Courts of Great Session,
as some of our readers kneW, are Charts of Equity as well as Law.
