contrary to the maxim of common law, from whose decision an ultimate appeal would lie. Now, nothing can be more calculated to bring discredit on the administration of justice in general than courts of appeal. What must a suitor think of the settled principles of law whose suit is successful before a Vice-Chancellor, whose decision is reversed, in a court not a hundred feet from his, a month or two afterwards, by the new decision of the Lord Chancellor or Lords Justices, whose decisions, in their turn, may be reversed by the House of Lords? In fact, it must be acknowledged that a criminal court of appeal would be open to all the defects of courts of appeal in general; it would add to the law's expense and delay, without affording any certain or satisfactory result in return. Then, with regard to the Press, it usually abstains from expressing its opinions, in the course of a criminal trial, until a verdict has been pronounced. If we had a criminal court of appeal, the Press would doubtlessly preserve the same delicate silence until after a final verdict had been pronounced. So that, so far as regards the fourth estate, a criminal court of appeal would leave the agitation made through it wholly unprovided for. If the trial happened to be a political one, the evil would not only be left unremedied, but would sometimes be aggravated by a double conviction, and the action of the equitable jurisdiction now exercised by the Home Secretary would not be so freely exercised as it is at present. As to his being influenced by party motives, I should regret to see that day come when a minister of the Crown, acting in a judicial capacity, should even be suspected of wanting that honour and integrity which has characterised the judicial bench of England for the last two centuries. I have the honour, Sir, to be, your obedient servant, M. R. B. FREE ADMISSION TO COURTS OF JUSTICE -THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. WE take the following from The Times of Monday, the 10th instant: "The Court of Common Council, at their last meet ing, on the recommendation of the Officers and Clerks Committee, to whom the matter was referred for investigation, passed an unanimous resolution abolishing the practice, long so hateful to the public, of receiving fees for admission to the galleries of the Central Criminal Court. The report of the committee disclosed some curious facts in connexion with the subject. They say the records of the corporation in the custody of the town clerk afford no information as to the origin of the practice. The object, they understand, was to prevent the admission of improper characters to the galleries, and thereby secure due order in the courts. The charge for admission was fixed by the gallery keepers, who are appointed by the sheriffs, and varied in amount according to circumstances. The gross receipts in 1853-4 were 1257. 2s. 6d., the expenses 381. 5s., balance 867. 17s. 6d.; in 1854-5, 121l. 12s. 1d., expenses 381. 16s. 3d., surplus 827. 158. 10d.; in 1855-6, 1741. 68. 8d., expenses 531. 128. 3d., balance 120l. 14s. 5d., in 1856-7, 1721. 9s. 3d., expenses 491. 148. 9d., leaving 1221. 14s. 6d.; 1857-8, 1377. 38. 7d., expenses 427. 16s. 4d., surplus 947. 78. 3d.; and in 1858-9, 1817. 1s. 7d., expenses 461. 7s. 1d., balance 1347. 148. 6d. The yearly average in those six years was-gross receipts 1517. 19s. 3d., expenses 447. 18s. 7d., leaving 1077. Os. 8d. The committee proceed to say that it was the custom to divide the balance into three equal parts, which were appropriated to the Lord Mayor for the time being, the sheriffs, and the sword-bearer. The committee unanimously passed a resolution, That courts of justice, under proper regulations, should be open to the public; 1860. that the practice of receiving fees for the admission of persons to the galleries of the Central Criminal Court is highly objectionable, and ought at once to be abolished; and that the regulations for the free admission of the public thereto should be under the control of the sheriffs.' They added, that on acquainting the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs with the opinions they had formed, they expressed themselves heartily willing to acquiesce in any arrangement for the abolition of the fees, provided that satisfactory regulations could be made for admission to the galleries, and the due preservation of order in the court, and that the expenses now paid by the sheriffs be defrayed by the corporation. Those expenses the committee recommend to be so borne, and they suggest that the sheriffs be empowered to issue tickets of admission to the galleries, leaving it to the discrimination of the officers in charge as to the entry of other persons when the galleries are not entirely occupied; but that under no circumstances should admission be obtained by a money payment. Deputy Fry, the chairman of the committee, in bringing up the report to the Common Council, expressed his surprise that a practice so wholly objectionable had been allowed to last so long. He went on the great principle that courts of justice should be open to the public; and if there was one more than another of our many English privileges which it was our pride to boast of and our duty to maintain, it was the having our judicial tribunals open to the community, and a free press to report their proceedings. Alderman Rose, in seconding the adoption of the report, adverted to the annoyance the practice of taking fees gave him when he served the office of sheriff, and to his unavailing efforts to put an end to it. The most objectionable feature in the practice was, that a sliding scale of fees obtained, and that in proportion to the interest of the trial which happened to be pending, so the prices went up or down. He believed great sums of money had been extracted from the public in that way from time to time, to the great scandal, as he thought, of the corporation of Lonafforded him to assist, at the commencement of his year don. The Lord Mayor also expressed the gratification it of office, in putting an end to a custom so objectionable on every ground. Mr. Charles Young contended that there would be no security that the practice would not still obtain of taking money at the door. Dr. Abraham said if the admission was to be by ticket, it would not be an open court, and that the court could only be open by admitting all persons to the extent of the available space. The remainder of the discussion, in which Mr. R. N. Philipps, Dr. Ross, Mr. Connell, Deputy Lott, and Mr. Rowe took part, turned upon the most desirable mode of admitting the public in future, and eventually the report was in substance unanimously adopted." and un-English practice of exacting money for admisIt certainly is matter of surprise that the abominable sion to a court of justice should so long have prevailed in one of the most important of our criminal tribunals; and only wish we could add, that free ingress to that tribunal of all the public, who conduct themselves with decorum, is to be unrestricted for the future. It seems, however, that although money payment is abolished, a condition precedent to admission, in the shape of a ticket from the sheriffs, is still to be required—thus supplying those functionaries with unlimited means of packing the court, should they be so minded. Still, the the present Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, is very much to course taken in this matter by the Common Council, and their credit, and we may venture to hope that in time this new restriction will follow the fate of its predecessor. 22 MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

This year has been distinguished by the fact, that a larger amount of New Assurances has been effected than in any corresponding period. During the twelve months 572 Policies were issued, for an aggregate sum of 324,575., and yielding 10,1797. in New Annual Premiums. The Gross Income has increased in the same time from 179,1197. to 185,928., and the Assurance Fund from 1,255,5317. to 1,330,6211. Thus, after the payment of all claims and expenses, the Accumulated Fund has received an augmentation of 75,0907., a sum exceeding by 10,3001. the surplus of the previous year. By the lamented death of the late Duke of Richmond the office of President of the Society, which his Grace had filled during a period of twenty-four years, became vacant. Whilst greatly regretting the severance of a connexion of such long standing, the Directors have the gratification of announcing that his Grace the Archbishop of York, previously a Vice-President, and who has been closely connected with the Society for a period of thirty-five years, has honoured the Society by accepting the office of President. The Directors have also the pleasure to state that the Duke of Marlborough has allowed his name to be added to the list of Vice-Presidents of the Institution.
