The preeent system was est-blished in 1849. when the popttHtitttt of the Province was estimated at 760,000; and now, seeing that the populstion had increased by shout s million, and was calculatedto be l about 1,760.000, it was not surprising thet i the provisions mode for the administration of justice fell considersbly short of its require- _ ments. Besides the increase in the populis- tion, there was ot course the consequent ia. crense in the number of business treneec ticns, which made the number of litigation" proportionately large.
