senting chapel, a savings bank, a literary institution, or an inn, according to the conveniences for the purpose which the neighbourhood presents. With respect to the public buildings belonging to counties, cities, boroughs, and towns, the free use of them is secured by statute to the court as a matter of right; but in other cases the place of holding the court is either built or hired by the treasurer, with the sanction of Government, and the expenses are paid out of the general fund of the court. These 495 districts are distributed, in numbers varying from one to thirteen, among sixty different divisions or circuits. To each of these divisions or circuits a judge has been appointed. II. JURISDICTION. Vict. c. 116, and the 7 & 8 Vict. c. 96) is transferred to the county court in cases arising more than twenty miles from the General Post-office in London. The decision of the judge in these cases is final. Nuisances.]-Where, under the 11 & 12 Vict. c. 123, a nuisance has been removed, under certain circumstances, from premises by a person other than the owner or occupier, the former is entitled to sue the latter in the county court for the expenses incurred in so doing. In these cases, although questions of title may and do frequently arise, the decision of the court on the matter is final. Concurrent Jurisdiction. Where Claim does not exceed 201.]--The jurisdiction given by sect. 58 of the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, is by sect. 128 rendered concurrent with that of the superior courts, where the parties reside more than twenty miles The jurisdiction of the county court is both original from each other, or where the cause of action does not and auxiliary. ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. This jurisdiction is legal and equitable. LEGAL JURISDICTION. The legal jurisdiction is of three kinds-exclusive, concurrent, and by consent. Exclusive Jurisdiction. The exclusive jurisdiction is conferred by the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95. arise wholly or in some material point within the district within which the defendant dwells or carries on his business at the time of bringing the action, or where an officer of the court is a party, except in respect of a claim to goods taken in execution by process of the court. Where Claim exceeds 201.-Appeal.]-By the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, s. 1, a jurisdiction, where the amount of the claim for debt or damages does not exceed 50%., is conferred on the county court, subject to the excepProviso.]-By sect. 58 of that act it is provided, tions contained in the proviso of sect. 58 of the 9 & 10 "that all pleas of personal actions, where the debt or Vict. c. 95. This jurisdiction is, however, concurrent damage claimed is not more than 20., whether on ba- with that of the superior courts, and is subject to aplance of account or otherwise, may be holden in the peal at the instance of either party who is "dissatisfied county court without writ: provided always, that the with the determination or direction of the court in court shall not have cognisance of any action of eject-point of law, or upon the admission or rejection of any ment, or in which the title to any corporeal or incor- evidence." The 15 & 16 Vict. c. 54, s. 2, provides poreal hereditaments, or to any toll, fair, market, or that such appeals shall be disposed of as part of the franchise, shall be in question, or in which the validity ordinary business of the court to which the appeal is of any devise, bequest, or limitation under any will or made. settlement may be disputed, or for any malicious prosecution, or for any libel or slander, or for criminal conversation, or for seduction, or breach of promise of marriage." Jurisdiction protected and enforced.]-The jurisdiction is protected by sect. 90 of the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, which prevents the removal of any plaint into the superior courts unless the debt or damage claimed shall exceed 57., and then only by leave of a judge of one of the superior courts, on such terms as he shall think fit. This provision is confirmed by sect. 16 of the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61. The jurisdiction in cases not within the above provisions, and not within the exceptions contained in sect. 128, hereafter mentioned, is enforced by sect. 129, which deprives the plaintiff of costs if he obtain a verdict in a superior court for a sum less than 207. in actions founded on contract, or less than 57. if founded on tort; and where the verdict in such cases is for the defendant, he is entitled to his costs, as between attorney and client, unless in either case the judge trying the cause shall certify that the action was fit to be brought in the superior court. By sect. 13 of the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, these provisions are extended to cases in which the parties have not proceeded to verdict. The provisions as to deprivation of costs are modified by sect. 11 of the same statute, which excludes judgments by default from their operation. Judge's Decision in such Cases final.]-The decision of the judge of the county court, whether assisted by a jury or not, is final in cases within this branch of the jurisdiction. Protection Cases.]-Another branch of exclusive jurisdiction of the court is that which is exercised in protection cases. By sect. 4 of stat. 10 & 11 Vict. c. 102, the jurisdiction under the Protection Acts (the 5 & 6 Replevin.]-The county court has also concurrent jurisdiction in replevin. By sect. 119 of the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, all actions of replevin in cases of distress for rent in arrear, or damage feasant, must be brought in the court created by this act, instead of the common-law county court; but either party, on complying with certain conditions, may remove the plaint, if he declares to the court "that the title to any corporeal or incorporeal hereditament, or to any toll, market, fair, or franchise, is in question, or that the rent or damage in respect of which the distress shall have been taken is more than 201." Unless, therefore, the plaint be removed in conformity with the provisions of that section, the county court has jurisdiction to decide all questions of title, and is not limited to any amount. Ejectment.]-The proviso in sect. 58 is modified in certain cases of ejectment by sect. 122 of the same act, which enables landlords, after the expiration of the tenancy, to recover possession of houses, lands, or other corporeal hereditaments, where the rent or value of the premises does not exceed 50%. a year, and no fine has been paid. with the administration of the customs law has lately Customs.]-Jurisdiction in certain matters connected been conferred on the court. By sect. 263 of the 16 & 17 Vict. c. 107, (the Customs Act), the Crown may sue in the county court for duties or penalties not exceeding in any case the sum of 1007. The decision of the judge is final in such cases. By sect. 318, in case of any alleged illegal seizure of any boat, vessel, or goods by the custom-house officer, an action may be brought against him in the county court where the damages claimed do not exceed the amount to which the jurisdiction of the court is limited; and sect. 319 provides that the case shall not be tried by a jury except by consent of both parties, and that the decision of the judge shall be sub ject to appeal, in the same manner as is allowed in other Lord Chancellor, intrusted with the care and comactions triable in the court. Jurisdiction by Consent. Appeal.]-Under the provisions of sect. 17 of the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, the parties may by consent confer a jurisdiction on the county court, notwithstanding that the amount of the claim may exceed 501., and that the action is one "in which the title to land, whether of freehold, copyhold, leasehold, or other tenure, or to any tithe, toll, market, fair, or other franchise, shall be in question." It will be observed, that the cases in which questions of law may by consent be decided by the county court are not so numerous as those excepted by sect. 58 of the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95. By the 17 & 18 Vict. c. 16, s. 1, the decision of the judge in such cases is subject to appeal, on the same grounds as in cases where the sum claimed exceeds 207., but does not ex ceed 50%. Arresting Ships.-By the 527th section of the 17 & 18 Vict. c. 104, (the Shipping Act), in the event of an injury having been done by one vessel to another in any part of the world, it will, on and after the 1st May, 1855, be competent for the judge of the county court, in certain cases, on the complaint of the injured party, made for the alleged wrong, or security is given to abide the event of a legal proceeding in respect of it. to direct the vessel to be detained until satisfaction is EQUITABLE JURISDICTION. The equitable jurisdiction of the county court is concurrent and by consent, but cannot be treated as exclusive, except in protection and insolvency cases. This jurisdiction is confirmed by the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, and several subsequent statutes. Partnership-Distributive Share—Legacy. By sect. 65 of stat. 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, the jurisdiction of the court is extended to the recovery of any demand not exceeding the sum of 201., (now by the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, to 50l.), "which is the whole or part of the unliquidated balance of a partnership account, or the amount or part of the amount of a distributive share under an intestacy, or of any legacy under a will." By sect. 17 of the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, the consent of the parties will give jurisdiction in such cases to any amount. Friendly Societies. mitment of the custody of lunatics, in a suit regularly instituted, or upon petition, as the case may require." It is provided, however, by sect. 41, "that no county court shall, upon any proceedings under this act, have jurisdiction to try or determine the title at law or in equity to any real or personal property, or any term or interest therein, as between any charity, or the trustee thereof, and any person holding or claiming such real or personal property, term or interest, adversely to such charity, or to try or determine any question as to the existence or extent of any charge or trust." By sect. 39 of the act, a right of appeal, subject to certain conditions, is given to the party who alleges himself to be aggrieved by or dissatisfied with any order made by any county court. It may be observed, that although the jurisdiction under this act extends only to charities the annual income whereof does not exceed 301., yet, should the amount with which a defaulting trustee is chargeable exceed the sum of 50%, there is no provision in the statute which excludes the jurisdiction of the county court in such a case. Succession Duties. Duties Act), any accountable party, dissatisfied with By sect. 50 of the 16 & 17 Vict. c. 51, (the Succession the assessment of the commissioners, may, on complying with the conditions prescribed in the section, if the 66 sum in dispute in respect of duty on such assessment does not exceed 507., appeal to the judge of the county court, who will have jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter of the appeal and the costs thereof." His decision is final. Considering the interests in property which is the subject of the duty, as well as the provisions of the act with respect to its collection, it is evident that difficult questions of equity as well as of law may arise in the determination of the appeal. In consequence of the mode in which sect. 50 is expressed, a far greater sum than 501. may become the subject of inquiry in the county court. Insolvency and Protection. tions of an equitable description do of necessity freBoth in protection and insolvency cases various quesquently arise. Literary Institutions. in case of any institution contemplated by the act being By the Literary and Scientific Institutions Act, 1854, desirous of dissolving itself, and any dispute arising among the governing body or the members of the instiBy the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 115, s. 22, (the Friendly Socie-tution, the adjustment of its affairs shall be referred to ties Act), if a dispute arise between the members and the the judge of the county court of the district in which trustees, treasurer, or other officer or committee, and is the principal building of the institution shall be situate, of such a kind that for the settlement of it, according who may make such order as he may deem requisite; to the laws now in force, recourse must be had to a or, if he find it necessary, he may direct that proceedcourt of equity, it may be referred, at the option of ings shall be taken in the Court of Chancery.

Industrial and Provident Societies. The above provisions applicable to Friendly Societies are extended by the 15 & 16 Vict. c. 31, s. 8, to industrial and provident societies. Charitable Trusts. By the 16 & 17 Vict. c. 137, (the Charitable Trusts Act, 1853), sect. 32, where the gross annual income of any charity does not exceed 30%, and where equitable relief is required, jurisdiction, subject to certain conditions contained in the act, is given to the county court to entertain the application, and to "give such relief, and make such orders and directions in relation to the matter of such application, as now might be made or given by the Court of Chancery, or by the AUXILIARY JURISDICTION. The auxiliary jurisdiction of the Court is both legal and equitable. LEGAL JURISDICTION. Absconding Debtors. By the 14 & 15 Vict. c. 52, power is given to the judge of the county court to issue his warrant for the amount of 207. or upwards, and who are about to quit apprehension of persons sworn to be indebted to the England. This power is subsidiary to actions in the superior courts. Common-law Procedure Act. By the Common-law Procedure Act, 1854, it is provided, that where, at any time after the issuing of the writ in any superior court of common law, it appears to the satisfaction of the court or a judge, upon the appli cation of either party, that the matter in dispute consists wholly or in part of matter of mere account, which cannot conveniently be tried in the ordinary way, it shall be lawful for such court or judge to order that such matter, either wholly or in part, in country causes, shall be referred to the judge of any county court. EQUITABLE JURISDICTION. Chancery. By sect. 22 of the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, the judge may be required to perform all such duties relating to causes or matters depending in Chancery, or any judge thereof, or before the Chancellor in the exercise of any authority belonging to him, necessary or proper to be done in the respective districts, as the Chancellor shall from time to time by any general order direct. Joint-stock Companies Winding-up Act. By sect. 20 of the 12 & 13 Vict. c. 108, (an act amending the Joint-stock Companies Winding-up Act, 11 & 12 Vict. c. 45), judges of county courts sitting at places more than twenty miles from the General Postoffice are appointed commissioners to act under the powers of that and the previous statute, and the Master may, by any order under his hand, refer the whole or any part of the examination of any witnesses to any such judge. Insolvency. The jurisdiction of insolvency under the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, is by the 10 & 11 Vict. c. 102, s. 10, vested in the county court, where the insolvent is in custody in any gaol more than twenty miles from the General Post-office. The Insolvent Court in London, to which the petition of the insolvent must in the first instance be presented, is required in such cases to refer the hearing to the county court. In this branch of the jurisdiction questions of law also arise. III.-JUDGES, OFFICERS, AND ADVOCATES. We will now proceed to the next head, which concerns the judges, officers, and advocates of the court. Judge. Qualification-Qualification of Successor-How appointed-How removeable-Disqualification.]—In order to become the judge of a county court, the necessary qualification was, at the original establishment of the courts, that he should be a barrister-at-law of at least seven years' standing, or that he should have practised as a barrister and special pleader for at least seven years, or have acted in the capacity of judge in some one of certain local courts mentioned in the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95. In the event of any of the judges dying, resigning, or being removed, the qualification of his successor must be, that he is a barrister of at least seven years' standing, or that he has practised as a barrister and special pleader for at least seven years, or that he has been the county clerk of the same county at the time of passing the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95. The judge is appointed by the Lord Chancellor in districts without the limits of the Duchy of Lancaster, and by the Chancellor of the duchy within the limits of the duchy. It is competent for the Lord Chancellor or the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, within their respective jurisdictions, to remove any judge from any district for the purpose of appointing him to any other district, in which the salary of the judge shall not be less than in the district from which he shall be so removed. He is removeable, at the discretion of the Lord Chancellor or Chancellor of the Duchy respectively, for inability or misbehaviour. When appointed he cannot sit as a member of Parliament, nor can he practise at the bar, or as a special pleader, or equity draftsman, or be directly or indirectly concerned as a conveyancer, notary public, solicitor, attorney, or proctor, and if an attorney, he cannot hold certain offices, which, having regard to the present qualification of a judge, it is not necessary to enumerate. Appointment of Deputy.]-In case of illness or unavoidable absence, the cause of which absence must be entered on the minutes of the court, the judge may appoint a deputy to perform the duties of his office. The remuneration of the deputy, however, is by the judge himself. As no cessation of holding his courts Chancellor, appoint a deputy to act for him during any is permitted, he may, with the sanction of the Lord time or times not exceeding in the whole two calendar months in any consecutive period of twelve calendar months. In that case also he must remunerate the deputy out of his own resources. Qualification of Deputy.]-The qualification of the person to be appointed deputy is, in the former class of the cases above mentioned, that of being the judge of another county court, or a person who has practised as a barrister for at least three years, or as an attorney of one of her Majesty's superior courts of common law for ten years, but not then residing or practising as an attorney in the district for which the court is holden: in the latter, the qualification is that of being a judge of another county court, or a person who has practised as puty be a barrister, he cannot, during the time he acts barrister-at-law for at least three years. If the deor shall be entitled to act as such deputy, practise, except in the district of the Westminster County Court, as a barrister in any court within the district for which he acts or shall be entitled to act as such deputy. a the name of any judge of a county court be inserted in Judge may act in the Commission of the Peace.]-If any commission of the peace for any county, riding, or he is competent to act in the execution of the office of division of a county in which he is appointed judge, justice of the peace, although not qualified by estate as required by law in the case of other justices of the peace.
