SUMMER ASSIZES.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-Northampton, July 11.-Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Willes opened the commission; and this morning the former took his seat in the Crown Court, the latter presiding on the civil side. The business is very light. A single special jury cause appears in the cause list, and the names of 12 prisoners in the calendar. The charges include 1 case of murder, 1 of shooting with intent to kill. 1 of felonious wounding. 2 of rape, 1 of arson, 1 of forgery, 3 of stealing, and 1 of receiving.

HOME CIRCUIT.-Hertford, July 12.-The proceedngs of this circuit cominenced on Wednesday, and both courts were opened to-day at ten o'clock, Mr. Justice Wightman presiding on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Cresswell in the Crown Court. The gaol calendar is unusually light, there being only nine prisoners for trial, and none of the offences charged are of an aggravated character. There are 18 causes entered for trial at Nisi Prius.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-York, July 11.-The judges appointed to go this circuit, Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Crowder, arrived here yesterday. Mr. Baron Platt sat at the Guildhall for the trial of the city prisoners, after which his Lordship proceeded to the Castle and sat on the civil side. Mr. Justice Crowder took his seat in the Crown Court. The calendar is light both in number and in the description of the offences. It contains the names of 75 prisoners of these 1 is charged with murder, 1 with attempt to murder, 3 with rape, 1 with manslaughter, 1 with arson, 8 with cutting and wounding, 28 with robbery, 7 with burglary, 3 with warehouse-breaking, 4 with forgery, 2 with bigamy, 4 with perjury, 1 with sheepstealing, 2 with concealment of birth, and the rest with minor offences. As yet the North and East Riding list of causes is only published, and this is a very poor list. The entry amounts only to nine causes, of which two are marked for special juries. All the common jury causes except one were disposed of in two hours, none of them being defended, and Mr. Baron Platt proceeded to try prisoners. In the Crown Court several ordinary cases of robbery and warehouse-breaking were disposed of, none of which possessed more than mere local interest.

SOMERSET ASSIZE COURTS.-The foundation-stone of the new Assize Halls, we believe, will be laid on the 14th Aug., the day most likely to suit the convenience of the Lord-Lieutenant. The demonstration committee have been active, with a view of giving eclát to the proceedings; and it is not unlikely that the neighbouring towns and villages will contribute a large number of visitors on that day, for which purpose, it is said, special trains will run, by arrangement with the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company.

The acids of the mouth exert no agency on the chemically-prepared white India-rubber, and, as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

A LAW MANUAL, for court use, in which the law on
the principal subjects likely to arise in the County
Courts and other Courts will be given in a condensed
form, placed alphabetically for reference.

Not merely will each Treatise be written by separate authors, but it will be subdivided, so that each branch may be treated by a writer who has made it his especial study. For instance, in the Practice of Equity Jurisdiction, &c., will be by separate authors. the Common Law, the subjects of Pleading, Discovery, This arrangement secures a double advantage. The work will be better done, and accuracy and efficiency will be combined with speed. As all will proceed simultaneously, the entire work will be completed in the same time as otherwise would be occupied in preparing a part only of one of the series.

To give to the Practitioner the earliest possession of a work that must be daily in demand, it is issued in parts, as fast as the sheets are completed, and which parts are sent by post to the subscribers on the day of publication.

As it is impossible at present to calculate the extent, it is equally impossible to name the precise cost; but volume, of the size now universally adopted in Books the Practice of each Court will be contained in one of Practice which have to be carried about in a bag.

But, as each Treatise will be complete in itself, Practitioners may subscribe for such one or more of the volumes as they may require.

There remains, then, little more than three weeks for the dispatch of all arrears; and even if there should be no more war debates, there is more general business than can possibly be dispatched in that time. The interminable Maynooth discussion was, by a small majority, adjourned for three months, to the great relief of all parties, who expressed their pleasure by vociferous cheers. Nothing was said about the Assizes and Sessions Bill, which has passed the Lords, and is gone into the Commons; but it is very probable that it will share the fate of almost all other reforms attempted in this most abortive session.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL has introduced the Bill, which he promised last session, for regulating the costs in actions by and against the Crown. The rule that it is beneath the dignity of the Crown to pay costs, or to receive them, is one of those fictions which we have been banishing by degrees. It could have escaped so long only in consequence of the infrequency of actions and suits by the Crown. Some revenue cases, in which the Crown was defeated, directed attention strongly to this unjust state of the law. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL promised amendment of it, and has fulfilled his promise. The Bill simply enacts that in future the Crown shall not be exempted from any liability for costs in cases in which they would have been allowed to any other suitor; but that it should both pay and receive them like other suitors. It is an undoubted im

THE LAW AND THE LAWYERS. Friday, July 20. VERILY, police have a difficult part to play. They try to disperse a mob, and prevent mischief, and they are assailed with a torrent of abuse for having used force before actual violence was done. They do not interfere until the peace is broken, and forthwith they are abused for not having prevented the acts of ravage which followed the unchecked language and looks of violence. So unreasonable is that many-headed monster, the public. What are the guardians of the peace to do in this dilemma? How can they be expected to act with the necessary prompti-provement. tude to suppress riot in future, when they find the public, whose servants they are, instead of supporting them in their efforts to protect their employers, rating them for their zeal, and punishing them for excess of it?

The answer put forth by the opponents of the police is, that, in the disgraceful Hyde-park Sunday rows, they cleared the path, and would not permit crowds to collect and obstruct the way, hooting at the carriages, frightening the horses, and endangering the lives of the occupants. But can it be seriously contended that such was not the duty of a police, and that the gathering of such a crowd for such a purpose, apart from its peril to the public peace, is an obstruction which could not be permitted without the abandonment of the first duties of a Government? What would have been said if the police had not moved in it, and a riot had been the result? Would not the same persons have complained of their laxity, who now rave against their violence ?

But it is added, that they used unnecessary violence; they struck persons who were mere bystanders taking no part in the disturbance.

This is very probable. Such a contingency is almost unavoidable in a crowd. A man surrounded by a rude mob cannot easily see where his blows fall; he must hit right and left indiscriminately, or submit to be conquered. Persons who mingle with a crowd of rioters, even though they take no active part in the riot, are held by the law responsible for the acts done in the course of the riot; and reasonably so, for they ought not

to be there.

Amongst the professional incidents of the week is the address presented to Sir GEORGE STEPHEN by the Liverpool Law Society, on the occasion of his quitting England for Australia, where a portion of his family is settled and flourishing. Sir GEORGE practised in London for many years as a Solicitor, during which period he published some clever books, one of them the Adventures of an Attorney in Search of a Practice, showing up some of the abuses of the Profession, and thereby doing it good service. Late in life he went to the Bar, having previously exhibited a talent for public speaking. Almost as soon as called he went to Liverpool, and speedily obtained considerable practice in the local courts, for which his previous experience as an Attorney peculiarly fitted him. The address of the Law Society, bidding him farewell, will be found in the department devoted to that sort of intelligence in our next. The exchange of kindly feeling was creditable to both parties.

A case in the Hammersmith Police-court, in which a man was charged with obtaining money on false pretences by representing himself as an agent of one of the many fraudulent Building Society schemes, reminds us that we ought to caution our readers against these projects. We have already reported several cases in which, where all was bona fides and the Society well conducted, they had resulted in enormous loss to the borrowing members-from the usurious ininterest pocketed by the lending members. But if even honest ones are ruinous to those who deal with them, how much more caution should be used in making inquiry into the characters, origin and connections of those which daily address They sanction it by their presence, and they themselves to the gullibility of the public. The help to make the numbers which encourage to vio- questions should always be asked, who is the lence. It is the duty of an innocent on-looker, secretary? who is the solicitor? who are the comeither to assist in putting down the riot and to mittee? and if these questions cannot be answered help the authorities in doing so, or to keep out of satisfactorily, they should be shunned as pestithe way. Legally, the police are justified in order-lences. The misery that is now in course of ing any man obstructing a public way to move on, and, if he refuses, in compelling him to do so. Of course no greater violence should be used by peace-officers than is necessary to the effecting of their object; but it is difficult to say what is necessary force, and a tolerable latitude should be allowed in this respect to a policeman in the midst of a mob-one man to fifty in the fray. The inquiry into the conduct of the police at the recent riots is to be investigated by a commission, comprising the Recorders for London, Liverpool and Manchester. Doubtless their report will have a value beyond the immediate subject of it, for they will, perhaps, favour the public with a precise definition of the duties of peace officers; so the cost and trouble will not be quite wasted.

But although we make these observations with reference to the difficulties to which police generally are subjected in the discharge of their duties, and the necessity for those whose persons

being wrought among the humbler classes by the building and freehold land societies is incalculable. A crash must come before long, and then, and not till then, the extent of the mischief that has been silently working will be discovered, to the dismay of those who have promoted them in the belief that they were conferring a boon upon the working classes, when, in truth, they have been handing them over to be plundered by money-lenders, land-speculators and scamps of all descriptions. Already signs of the coming desolation may be seen in allotments unbuilt upon, buildings half-finished and houses unoccupied-the owners ruined and the property passing at half its value into the hands of the cunning men who have ministered to the mania with a full knowledge of how much they would profit by the ruin of their dupes. It is much to be lamented that the present session of Parliament has been allowed to pass without some stringent law for the regulation of these societies;

Among the abandoned measures is Sir B. HALL'S Public Health Bill. It was subjected to a most scrutinising examination by a select committee, and a multitude of amendments have been made in it. These have been submitted to the House and the Bill, as amended, is to be circulated for consideration during the recess. It was, perhaps, prudent not to hurry into the statutebook a measure designed to be a sort of code of sanitory law, and which is to regulate the local affairs of the whole country. The Nuisances Bill is, however, to be passed forthwith, there being danger in its delay should another visitation of cholera afflict us this summer.

It is but justice to Sir B. HALL, to acknowledge the indefatigable zeal and intelligence, and the still more indomitable courage, which he has exhibited in the framing of these measures, and in fighting the battle of the public against "the interests" that were leagued in opposition. Having somewhat ridiculed his pretensions at first, we are bound to avow that experience has not justified our anticipations, and that he has proved himself in all respects worthy of the office he occupies.

The greatest improvement of the many wrought in the practice of the Equity Courts, was the introduction of vivâ voce examinations. On this. there is no difference of opinion among practitioners. The amount of injustice under the old system of interrogatories can only be understood by those who see the effects of cross-examinations conducted before the examiners, as in the Common Law Courts. It continually occurs that witnesses who would have made out a perfect case under the former practice, are shattered to pieces by counsel accustomed to the art of dealing with men in the witness-box. From a return lately made to the House of Commons, it appears that, from Nov. 1, 1853, to Nov. 1, 1854, evidence was taken orally in Chancery in 195 cases, and since that time, we believe, there has been a material increase. The practice also is now becoming almost universal, of taking counsel from the Common Law Bar before the Examiners in Chancery, to examine witnesses, their experience in the art peculiarly qualifying them for this work; and in such cases, the judicious course is adopted of the Common Law Counsel examining all the witnesses, even though he may have with him a senior of the Equity Bar. It should also be known, that no special fee is necessary for counsel so brought from the Common Law Bar.

In like manner it is probable that Equity Counsel will be taken in the Common Law Courts to conduct equitable defences. This interchange of the two Bars is a curious and unexpected incident of the new practice, and is likely to be a growing one.

The Bills of Exchange Bill, as amended by the Commons, has been accepted by the Lords, Lord BROUGHAM protesting against the alterations that have been made in it, but declining to alter a word, as he said, lest its opponents should seize the opportunity to destroy it altogether. It will, therefore, become law, and we shall watch its working with great interest. It facilitates judgment upon bills, and prevents vexatious defences. It will make men more cautious how they give
