y COURT 1000 YEARS OLD CLOSES IrS
DOORS FOREVER.-On July 9th an august
ana ancient tribunal, the most so of any
save the High Court of Parliament" viz
IEally ceased to exist. On that day the
Court OF Queens Bench, which represents a
tribunal held before the king at least a thou

probably never sit again. 1t is q curious
circumstance that, reckoning from the ac
cesSlon OF Alfred, in Si-the earliest date at
which such jurisdiction can be shown 10
nave been eXercised-to the year 1870, when
the original of the judicature act which
abollshed 1t was INTRODUCED, just 1000 years
should have elapsed. To Sir Alexander
Cockburn, certainly in many respects not
the least distinguished of the series, belongs
The melancholy distinction of being the last
Lord Chief Justices OF England. The juriS-
dlctlon of the court, il is true, is preserved
by the judlcature act, aud is vested in a div
lsion OF the high court of judicature Andi its
peculiar jurisdiction Is vested in that divis-
ION exclusively. But as that great court,
which has existed ever since the CONQUEST as
adls'lnct and separate tribunal, with that
hlgh and lofty jurisdiction which could ORR
glnaby only be exercised By the king in per-
son, ana was so exercised ever since the time
on Alfred, as that great court of the king.

great quantities there. If this be the case
Mr.. Gross has met with great good fortune
particularly if this alleged four-foOt vein is
nea4 the surface, and its development will
not be so expensive at the start as that OF the
veins lying deeper. This discovery is located
Just on the other side OF the M. Pleasant
