The Common Law Courts and the Court of Chancery existed as independent courts until 1873, when Equity and Common Law jurisdictions were merged, though its former work is still, by rules of the court, chiefly discharged by Chancery division, and where there is uncertainty Equity takes precedence.
English law consists of the rules of common law and Equity, embodied in precedents; changed or supplemented in part by Acts of Parliament.
Criminal Law
The courts of criminal jurisdiction include: the magistrates' courts, which try the less serious offences and conduct preliminary inquires into the more serious offences; Crown Courts (including the Central Criminal Court in London, known as "Old Bailey"), which functions continuously except during vacations, and may be described as a permanent Crown Court for London. Some important cases from the provinces are tried there.

The British Police
Most countries have a national police force which is controlled by central Government. Britain has no national force. There is a separate police force for each of 52 areas into which the country is divided. Each force is controlled by a local police authority – a committee of local county councilors and magistrates. The forces co-operate with each other when there is a serious crime. In most countries the policemen carry guns. In Britain this is unusual. Policemen do not carry firearms in their day-to-day work, but there are special units that are trained to use guns. They are called when there are terroristic incidents, armed robberies, etc. These special units help the regular police force. The only policemen who carry weapons every day are those who guard politicians and diplomats, or special officers who patrol airports. All members of the police must have a certain level of academic qualifications at school. All of them also have a special training practice. Like in the army, there are ranks in the police: Chief Constable, Constable, Chief Inspector, Inspector, Sergeant, etc. Women make up about 10 per cent of the police force. Each police force has its own Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Members of CID are detectives. They do not wear uniforms. Traffic wardens wear uniforms. Their job is to make sure that drivers obey parking regulations. The duties of the police are varied: they keep law and order, control speeding and drunken driving, deal with lost property, arrest criminals, etc.
