lectures will undoubtedly combine to furnish the
desired quantum of recreation, needfal and emo

approaching session. Our friends will probably be

between the two. The two courses combined fur

The Wing says that at a meeting Of the members
of the Penobsc0t Bar held on Wednesday after
noon, to consider the subject of petitioning the
Legislature to establish a superior Court for the
County of Penobscot similar to that of Cumberland
county, q very general feeling of opposition was
expressed. The discussion, however, brought out
very prominently tke idea of substantial and gem
oral reform in legal practice, uniting more closely
the two branches of Law and Equity, simplifying
the proceedings and expediting justice, conforming
the practice in a manner to the more modern and
practical codes of many of the other States. The
proposition, far as it assumes any shape, is to
have commission of say three good lawyers ap-
pointed by the legislature to devise proper sys'
TEN for the purpose, to be reported to the next
legislature.
