Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...his client, but such a reform is badly needed, but can only be accomplished through a constitutional convention. On such a convention we would urge for adoption, the making the lawyers of each circuit the sole electors of the judge or judges of such circuit; and the lawyers of the state the sole electors of the state judiciary, with a proviso that no one elected judge of any appellate court, should thereafter be eligible to any other than a judicial position. With the lawyers as the sole electors, there would be combined all the beneficial efforts of both the elective and appointive systems.

At last it Was thought proper to give statutory nu thority to its proceedings and a Statute was passed in 1487 (8 Henry 7, C. Before this Act the King's Council sat as a rule in the Star Chamber, and when the legislation came to be passed, it mentioned specifically the Court of Star Chamber. This, as Hallam long ago showed. Was a kind of Committee, that is a Judicial Committee, of the King a Privy Council. The Court of Star Chamber (as has been shown by recent investigation of its records, still extant) it many cases acted not as a statutory body at all but under the original Common Law jurisdiction of the Privy Council; and indeed did not conceive of itself as being of statutory origin. Moreover. The Privy Council also contin ued at times and in certain cases, e. G., in cases of riot. To act outside of the Star Chamber and as the Privy Council had acted before the Statute. Whether the Court of Star Chamber was a ('ourt appears within a few years after the passage of the Act to have been questioned by the Common Law Judges; the gri at authority of Coke is that the judg ment of these Judges was a sudden opinion.
