The entire apparatus is movable, and can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, or part of it employed for meetings of any description.

There is nothing appropriate or convenient; it is a makeshift, and altogether unequal to the pretensions of a Court now perhaps the most useful and most resorted to of any that sit in the country.
Quarter sessions and assizes come only at long intervals, are held only in particular time-honoured places, and take cognisance only of very serious offences which happily are not numerous.

The County Court at the present day has had its jurisdiction so enlarged that it is really, in country districts, the leading tribunal, and the one best adapted to modern wants, because its procedure is to a great extent free from obsolete forms and technicalities.

The Plaintiff and the Defendant literally face their Judge, practically converse with him, and can tell their story in their own simple and natural way.

It is a fact that the importance and usefulness of the country County Court has in most places far outgrown the arrangements made for it.
