Why did the King's Bench retain criminal jurisdiction over Middlesex?

### Erroneous link or reference to judge
In ¶2 of §Background, the link in "…which was urged by Fairfax J in 1501…" points to Guy Fairfax, who is noted as having died in 1495. Obviously this is a problem; there is no additional background on what the term "Fairfax J" means. Please correct. Zarchasmpgmr (talk) 18:29, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

The final sentence in the article looks a bit odd to me. It says "... while the reform epitomised by the Bill of Middlesex aided the King's Bench in the short term, it eventually led to its dissolution". 

Does "short term" here mean over 300 years?
If the Judicature Acts led to the Court of Queen's Bench being replaced by the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, did anyone within the court system lose out?
It sounds like an argument that allowing more cases in the court was self-defeating, but I don't see how this is the case. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 07:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
