Rexision Of LeRni Prncticc.

TIL. Exoress announces that Messrs John a.
Collier John c. Spencer and Nicholas hiil' Jr'
have been designated (bow or by whom does not
appear) as the three Commissioners to be appoint
ed by the Legislature TO revise the system Of
Peadings and Practice in the Courts of this State
ss directed by the Constitutional Convention, and
that the selection is admirable. the qualifications
o., the individuals excellent, &c. &c Without
expressing any opinion on this point farther
than TO give our hearty assent TO whatever
NAV be said in favor Of the ability and legal
acouirements Of these gentlemen, we would ex'
press our ardent trust that the Legislature
will consent to appoint TO this responsible dn-
~ no men. however capable or eminent without
the fullest assurance that they are heartily ana IN
aexiby intent ON giving full force and effect to the
purpose OF the Constitutional Convention by assim-
Hating as far as possbe-and we trust there is no
impossible boundary-the proceedings IN Law aud
Eauity The Convention, embodying large pro
portion of the legal talent and experience OF the
State. has decided that this substantial union OF
Law and Equity is practicable the People have
empbaticay confirmed and ratified that decision.
And yet it is in the power OF the Legislature oy
Amounting Commissioners hostile to this reform or
sceptica as to its feasibility to obstruct and delay
if not to defeat it, But viii any considerable por'
ton OF the Legislature knowing what they are
about. take the serious responsibility OF so dong
We will not believe it
The end to be attained in the progress OF Law
Reform is this; Let A. r. who deems himself
wronged or despoiled by c. d. cite him to answer
to his complaint in Court setting forth succincty
what's the grievance and what the amount claimed
Let C. d. IN like manner reply, and ON these two
statements let issue be joined and the cause tired
AT the close let justice be awarded, whether oy

this most important duty OF revising the Rule
which govern Legal Practice. Let them be mel

the People have directed them TO make, and WI
