A remarkable change has come over
the kings bench courts, remarks the
London Globe. Twelve months ago
the condition Of the courts was so con-
rested that the judges were trying
actions which had stood for hearing
six months and more. Recently hve
actions were before the judges which
were set down for trial the month be-
fore. The exlord chancellor once ex-
pressed the hope that judges might
be in the agreeable position of saying
to litigants. Come into the courts
today and We will hear you tomof-
row." When litigants have to wait
less than three weeks for their cases
to be reached the fulfillment of this
hope would appear to be not far on.
Not in every part of the work of the
kings bench division. however, are
things 30 expeditions.
