[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—Permit me to say that you are hardly correct in stating that your correspondent " Jades " is inaccurate in his state- ment as to the work of County-Court Judges, and that those " in great centres " do not pass such an " intermittent exist- ence as he suggests." Mr. J. A. Russell, Q.C., the Judge at Manchester and Salford, whom all practitioners regard as a most satisfactory and able Judge, invariably sits for a fortnight, and then rests for a fortnight. You instance. Liverpool, but you seem to forget that there are two County Court Judges at Liverpool, and that therefore they relieve each other, and that both take a holiday in September.—I am, Sir, &c., NORTHERN CIRCUIT.
