COURTS or CRIMINfL ,JURTSDTC-
TION ~ THE SEDER1L STATES.
An extra census bulletin. iust is-
sued from the Government Printing
Office, will prove OF great interest
and use to lawyers, as it gives sue
cinct tables and annotations showing
the system Of Courts Of Criminal Ju-
risd,ction in all the States of the
Union. There is also table with
reference to Courts OF the United
States having crimioa! jurisdiction
in case o. ofenses against stllutee
of the United States, and the pecu-
liaritles Of the organization or pro-
cedure Of thu Courts Of each State
are lucidly set forth. Wide differ
ences are disclosed, and the details
covered are very numerous. Ger
tain facts OF general interest are
brought out. In Delaware the
Judges of the Superior Court, and
IN Florida, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island the Supreme Judges
hold cfIice for life; in Massachusetts
all above the grade Of trial Justic g
have like tenure. The tenure OF
Office of other Judges above the
grade Of Justices of the Peace va
ries from two to twenty -one years,
1t is more commonly for four or SIX
years. in one-half the States oil
the Union the people elect their Ju-
dietary; in Delaware, Maine, Maesa-
chusetls aud New Hampshire they
are appointed by the Executive ex-
cIusiyely, and in New jersey, I or
ida and Missis'ippi all above the
lower grades receive office in a sini-
lar manner. Virginia, South Caro-
lima and Rhode leland prefer The
election Of their Judges by the Leg.
islature. The initiation Of proceed
ings in criminal cases by present
ment is peculiar to Virginia, Penn
sYivania and Nevada.
