in public closely before recent months than the work of the! Republican courts in administering i justice and keeping civil order,, It is a side of the movement that is growing steadily in extent and power, and as Lord Monteagle said in the Forse of Lords the other day, the blow that it is dealing to the Government is far more serious than spectacular attacks on barracks or murders of policemen, or even the kidnapping of a British general Force may be put down by force, but it is much harder to des- troy by rude methods of coercion an organisation that is transforming to ite ends the machinery of justice and of local governmen:. British prestige and authority become more under- inned as every week passes.

At present magistrates are selected by constituency organisa- tions composed of members of local government bodies, representatives of Sinn Fein clubs and Volunteers, and representatives of the clergy. As things go now a Volunteer officer

ually presides over the court, and sometimes a clergyman. The parish rivi court has jurisdiction only in mal! disputes and claims under £10, and the criminal court is a court of for minor summary jurisdiction offences. Appeals go to the district court, which has the Parliamentary constituency as its unit. Under the final scheme its five judges will be elected by the "parish courts.

From the district court an appeal lies with the court of appeal in Dublin. So Far this crowning stone of Sinn Fein jurisdiction has hardly been got into position. A special judicial com- mission has decided a few cases, but the personnel is not, yet determined. Dail Eireann's decree of last week authorising the establishment of courts of justice and equity and courts of criminal jurisdiction leaves the way clear for the appointment of high court judges, of whom there will probably be three.
