Sheriff Courts in London.-Selections from Correspondence, No. XXV SHERIFFS' COURTS IN LONDON.

It does not appear to be generally known, that there exist, in the city of London, two courts of justice, called the Sheriffs' Courts, wherein are tried actions of debt, case, trespass, covenant and other personal actions, attachments, and sequestrations.

Here, debts of any amount may be recovered, and a cause, although defended, can be tried for less than 77., in three weeks: if the debtor should not defend the action, the costs will amount to about 37. only, and execution can be obtained in a week.

By the custom of London, a creditor may attach money or goods of his debtor, either in the creditor's own hands, or in the custody of a third person. The process of attachment, properly called foreign attachment, is the cheapest, and, at the same time, the most prompt and efficacious remedy for the recovery of debts recognised by the laws of England. An attachment for 20,0007., as well as for 20., may be made in less than an hour, at an expense of no more than 2.; and within the space of a few days, and for less than 5., judg-Street. ment may be obtained, and the creditor's demand paid over to him. An attachment is also of general utility, it being a mistaken notion, that citizens alone are entitled to its advantages. Neither the creditor, nor the debtor, nor even the holder of the debtor's property, need be free of, or resident within the city. If a creditor, resident any where out of the city, be in possession of property belonging to his debtor, which he cannot by law dispose of, he may bring it to London, and dispose of it by attachment.

A sequestration is an attachment of the defendant's property made in the hands of the defendant himself, where he absconds, and leaves goods in a house, &c. locked up.

It is also a custom of the city, that if a debtor be fugitive, (that is, if he intends to withdraw himself and his goods out of London,) he may be arrested before the day of payment, to find better security; upon which he must go to prison, unless he enter into recognizance, with two sureties, to pay the debt when due, or render to prison. Although this custom has of late years fallen much into disuse, yet it is available, and undoubtedly in some cases, a beneficial custom to the citizens of London; inasmuch as it gives them a power of holding a defendant to bail before an action could be maintained in any of the superior Courts.

Sir, DEVOTED as your pages are to the interests of the profession, I trust no apology is necessary for offering a few remarks on the the admission of gentlemen to practise in the expenses various Courts of Justice in this country. There are five Courts, of which it is absolutely necessary that a general practitioner should

In addition to the stamp duty of 251. payable to Government, he has to pay for his admission in each Court about as follows:

This, for the five Courts, amounts in each
case to 117. 5s., in addition to ten oaths, and

a-year is thus indirectly levied upon the
fession; and what good end is thereby attain-
ed? Surely all useful purposes would be an-
swered if one affidavit of service and payment
of the duty were made, and one oath of allegi-
ance, &c. sworn; if one Judge's Clerk went
through the farce of delivering a formal and
ready signed certificate of admission, and if
one Master were paid. If it is thought desir-
able to increase the expense of entering the
profession, let it be done fairly and openly, by
raising the stamp, and let the Government
reap the benefit; but if this is not thought
expedient, why should not the production of
a regular admission in any one Court, entitle
the party to place his name on the roll of any
other Court, by the payment of a small fee to
the keepers of such roll only? Such a plan
would save much trouble, and relieve gentle-
men entering the profession from an odious,
because an uncalled-for tax-from a tax which,
being levied in the shape of fees, is of the most
obnoxious character. Having myself gone
through the mummery, I am induced to call
the attention of the profession generally to the
subject, in the hope that, as the remedy is so
practical, some member of the body who has
a seat in Parliament will take up the subject;
and, by carrying through a remedial measure,
entitle himself to the thanks of those gentle-
men who are about to be admitted among us.
I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

has in no instance been resorted to. The question to be ascertained is, whether or not this particular estate be of gavelkind tenure. I am aware the legal presumption is, that all lands in Kent are of gavelkind tenure, and must be so held except the contrary be made to appear; but as it is well known that many large estates in Kent have, by various statutes, been disgavelled and converted into the English common law tenure, it is important to discover what lands were comprised in the disgavelling statutes. They are not there described by metes and bounds, but merely as the manors, land, hereditaments, &c. of A. B., C. D., &c. &c.; which seems to make it necessary to trace the title of the lands as far back as these statutes, -a matter of great difficulty, and probably impossible; and especially to identify the lands, unless there be some ancient description running throughout. I shall be glad to know whether plans, or plain descriptions, of the estates and lands which from time to time have been the subject of the disgavelling statutes, be preserved in any office of record or otherwise, or how the actual tenure of any particular land in Kent is with certainty to be known, when it does not appear on the title that it has ever passed either according to gavelkind or com

mon law tenure.
