It is hoped, however, that the result in this respect will be more favourable
in future years, when the different Courts become familiarized with the work

It has been suggested to the Government of India to revise the Forms in
which the Annual Returns are at present framed, so as to adapt them for exhi

The contrast is most favourable. There were 12,065 suits filed during the
year, of which 11,722 were decided, leaving an arrear of 343 against 340 of the
preceding year. There were thus 1,959 more suits filed in 1860 than in 1859,
and 906 more decisions.
The state of the Appellate file, which is equally satisfactory, is summed
