The highest judiciary tribunal of France, is the court of appeals [Gourde- Cassation.'] It adjudges in the last re¬ sort on cases of appeal from decrees and judgments of the other courts. It exer¬ cises, in a variety of ways, a jurisdiction over the other courts, and decides on ap¬ plications for the transfer of causes from one court to another. It consists of a lirst president, three presidents and for¬ ty-eight counsellors or judges, all of whom are appointed by the king for life; Tne presidents and judges are divided into three sections or chamber?, and con¬ stitute forall ordinary purposes three dis¬ tinct courts, to each of much a specific class of duties is assigned.—Four of the members of each chamber are annually transferred, and divided equally between tlie othertu'o.
