TO the united approbation of the Bench and Bar of England of the merits of the acts passed during the last session of parliament for the amendment of the Criminal Law of the country, my testimony to the same effect can add but little; of the ability, however, with which they have been prepared, and of the benefits which may be expected to' result from them, I am in some degree qualified to pronounce, from long experience at the bar, and from having for some years acted as a magistrate for the county in which I reside. The extent of the jurisdiction possessed by justices of the peace, and the variety of matters Subjected to their cognizance, are now of considerable extent. These are to be collected from a multiplicity of acts of parliament on the same, as well as on different subjects, in which amendment on amendment, and repeal upon repeal, so crowd the statute book, that to ascertain what the existing law is, requires no small share of industry and intelligence. To reduce them into order; to connect them, into con sistency; to divest them of obscurity, and clothe them in the language of brevity and perspicuity, required the effort of a commanding mind. The task was reserved for, and has been performed by, one of the most enlightened states men of the day, of this or of any other country. The five acts of the last session, which go by the title of ivir. Peel's Acts, have erased from the statute book one hundred and forty-eight acts of parliament: at the same time that the spirit of the criminal code of English law is preserved, the course of proceeding remains unchanged, and the execution of the laws is attended with increased facility and effect. The office of putting these laws in force in the first instance devolves upon the rmagistracy; they must, there fore, be accurately informed of whatever changes take place in them, to direct theni in the performance of the A 2.
