The Judiciary.-The COMMITTEES Of
Courts of Justice, have as yet made no
report on any branch of the Judiciary,
aud have, we believe, decided notbiag
among themselves de 6aitely-haying
been closely engaged ia considering the
various propositions for improvements
in the Statute Laws. Some skirmisb-
iDg however, has occurred on the Chan
Gerry and Circuit Courts, and 1t is pref
ty clearly ascertained, that as it now
exists, the Chancery System has no
chance whatever CT being retained. To
unite the jurisdiction OF The Chaneery
and Superior Courts Of Law--cr TO in
crease the number of Chaneellors and
divide the State into convenient Dis
tIic,s-or 10 require the Chancel!ors 10
go into every county, as the Common
