LONDON, Aug. I7.-Free Justice TO,
t. the poor is the latest popular reform
undertaken in England. A system
has just been worked out By com
mittee composed OF the lord chancel
Tor and several leading judges and
members OF the bar whereby It will
be possible for the man OF little
means to sue in the British courts,
and have his case handled with the
same care as that OF the wealthy liti-
CANT. without cost.
The rush of applicants already in
.dicatss that the reform was needed
and that full advantage OF it will be
taken. Within week after the pub
llcation OF the regulations under
which this free justice will be dis
pensed 1000 persons applied for
legal assistance. OF these more
than half are seeking divorces. Hith-
.erto divorce has been a luxury avail
able only to the well-to-do. on account
of the high counsel fees and excessive
costs attached to this sort of litfga-
ton.
The success OF the system is as
sured by the generosity OF some 800
lawyers who have agreed to render
voluntary service. Under the new
regulations the applicant merely fills
uE form, stating his case briefly and
affirming that his worldly resources
are less than S125. This he files with
the clerk Of the court. giving as refer
ences two persons who will certify to
his responsibility. The paper is then
referred to special committee of one
o. more members OF the bar, who make
e preliminary investigation as to the
merits OF the case. II the committee
finds prima facie case exists. the
court then issues an order permitting
the applicant 10 sue as "a poor man.
and assigns counsel from among those
on the voluntary panel" to act for
him free OF charge. No court costs
are assessed, and q fund is now being
raised to take care of other necessary
expenses, such as securing the at
tendance OF witnesses, etc.
