Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Jurisprudence, Vol. 33: 1889 The Breakdown of the English Circuit System. - The depleted state of the English Bench during last month has again raised the question of the reform of the Circuit System in England. The arranging of the several Circuit sittings is a recurring difficulty with the judges of the Queen's Bench Division. Their lordships appear to be driven to their wits end in the attempt to reduce to a minimum the huge inconvenience which the absence of so many fudges on Assize always creates in the business of the ordinary Courts in London. The great towns in the provinces provide a heavy list of work for the Assizes. The number of towns to be visited is considerable. So it happened that from November 27th until the end of term eight of the Common Law judges were out of town. The Special Commission being then in session, there remained available in London four Common Law judges, viz. the Lord Chief-Justice, Mr. Justice Manisty, Baron Huddleston, and Mr. Justice Denman. Of this thin battalion, one had to sit daily in chambers. Three judges, therefore, were left to deal with the common jury list, the special jury list, the without jury list, and various other matters. Then, too, since misfortunes never come single, Mr. Justice Manisty was for some time seriously indisposed.
