OF THE COURTS OF KING'S BENCH, COMMON PLEAS, AND EXCHEQUER OF PLEAS, SINCE THE STATUTE 11 GEO. IV. & 1 W. IV. c. 70. WITH INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS OF THE PRACTICE, AS IT EXISTED PRINTED FOR SAUNDERS AND BENNING, (SUCCESSORS TO J. BUTTERWORTH 1832. ADVERTISEMENT. SINCE the late Act, for the more effectual administration of justice in England and Wales a, many highly useful and important general Rules of practice have been promulgated by the court of Exchequer, in Michaelmas Term, 1830; and by all the judges of the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, in Trinity term, 1831, and Hilary term, 1832. The Rules of the court of Exchequer, were principally occasioned by the admission of attornies of the King's Bench, and Common Pleas, to practise in that court, under the 10th section of the above act; and by the transfer of suits at law thereto, under the 14th section, from the courts of Session of Chester, and Great Sessions in Wales: and they may accordingly be classed under three heads, first, respecting officers of the court, and their fees; secondly, points of practice, relating to matters over which that court has a peculiar jurisdiction; and thirdly, the times and modes of proceeding in that court, on the removal of causes from Chester and Wales. The general Rules, promulgated by all the judges, are founded on the 11th section of the above act, by which it is enacted, that “in all cases relating to the practice of any of the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, or Exchequer, in matters over which the said courts have a common jurisdiction, it shall be lawful for the judges of the said courts jointly, or any eight or more of them, including the chiefs of each court, to make general rules and orders for regulating the proceedings of all the said courts." a 11 Geo.
