The Court Of Sessions having been
found useless incumbrance and ex-
pense, the Legislature have thought
proper 90 relieve the public from the
burthen disappearing it and therefore
have entirely abolished it, transferring
the business Of that Court to the Court
of Common Pleas, where it can more
conveniently be done. The Editor OF
the Boston Patriot, who as a lawyer has
SOME experience in these courts, ap.
proves OF this measure He says the
experiment OF a seperate Court of this
kind was made in New Hampshire
(where he formerly resided), and the
inconvenience resulting from it was
there found to be SO great that it led to
its abolishment in that State, as it has
now done in this. But some of the
democrats seems to think that the ONLY
purpose of Offices is to give living to
Democrats and having discovered
that" the Judges, Clerks and Ceuatu
.ffformes, were REPuBfIcASs" Gas he
calls then), he concludes that the estab.
lishment was very pretty thing, and
