value, but it may be increased to one-fourth under special circumstances of danger attaching to the enterprize. One-eighth is awarded in the case of recapture from pirates. Capture may be actual or constructive. Constructive, or joint captors, are those who have assisted the actual captors by conveying encouragement to them or intimidation to the enemy. All public ships within signalling distance are usually beld entitled to participate in the proceeds of the capture. Prize captured in breach of the neutrality of Great Britain may be restored by the Admiralty Division of the High Court of Justice under powers conferred by the Foreign, Eulistment Act, 1870. By the Naval Prize Act, 1864, what is now the Admiralty Division of the High Court of Justice has jurisdiction as a prize court throughout the British dominions, and by this Act the procedure of prize courts in the British dominions may be regulated by an Order in Council. Questions of booty may be referred to the present Admiralty Division of the High Court as a prize court under 3 & 4 Vict. c. 65, s. 22. Where the captor is a public ship of war, the officers and crew have only such an interest in the proceeds of a prize as the Crown may from time to time grant them. Besides a share in the prize, prize bounty is usually granted under the provisions of the Naval Prize Act, 1864, at the rate of £5 for each person on board an enemy's ship of war. As an incident to the right of maritime capture, there still exists the right of visit and search, or the privilege attaching to any belligerent of boarding any merchant vessel on the high seas to ascertain its nationality and the nature of its cargo, with all its possibilities for international complications, as witness the notorious Trent affair. for his vacation on the 13th of August, and will not be back until the 22nd of October, when the Long Vacation ends. When he returns another week or two will probably be occupied in completing the order, which may be ready to be acted upon by the beginning of November. Several of the parties interested in the money have been obliged to mortgage their shares of it. This is only one of numerous cases where the Long Vacation works a serious injury to suitors and the delay to whom seems intolerable. Do you not think it time the vacation was shortened?

Undefended matrimonial causes will be taken in the Probate and Divorce Maître Labori, M. Zola's counsel, is, says the World, still a young man, being only in his thirty-eighth year; indeed, by many he would be scarcely considered to have reached his prime; yet by dint of ability and hard work, combined, it must be admitted, with good fortune, he stands to-day in the front rank of his profession in France, and his name is a synonym in every civilized country for fearless and skilful advocacy He was born at Rheims in 1860, and was educated at the Lycée there. Choosing the law as his profession, he enrolled himself as a student at the Ecole de Droit. In 1884 he proceeded to the degree of avocat, having previously served in the army for the statutory term, which inspired him, as it does most Frenchman, with a deep interest in the Republic's first line of defence. In France the profession of the law is as proverbially slow as in this country, and consequently young Labori had to wait. His first important case was in 1894, when he defended the miscreant Vaillant, who threw the bomb into the Chambre des Députés. In that case the prisoner's guilt was too clear to admit of being obscured by any art of advocacy, but Labor left nothing unsaid that could possibly benefit his client. From this point M. Labori's rise in his profession was rapid, and it was his conduct of the case for his client in the Zola trial which gave him his place in the front rank of advocates. To finally summarize the existing law. Upon the outbreak of hostilities, so far as nations who have not signed the Declaration of Paris are concerned, any neutral vessels carrying cargo belonging to a belligerent can be seized and taken to port for condemnation, though under these circumstances the usage is for the captor to pay freight to the owner of the vessel. In any case, goods constituting contraband of war destined for delivery to a belligerent are liable to capture and confiscation, and the carrier cannot claim freight. There are dicta in some English cases that when the shipowner is privy to the carriage of contraband the ship is liable to condemnation, but there exists no actual decision to that effect. A vessel attempting to violate an effective blockade is, with its freight, liable to capture, and opposition constitutes piracy. Some authorities, however, consider that if the owner of the vessel was ignorant of the destiny of the cargo, the former will escape confiscation. A charter made by an English shipowner to run a blockade cannot be repudiated by him. Performance of a contract is excused where, before loading, the port of destination becomes blockaded, and the charter includes an exception of restraints of princes. Where, however, the blockade occurs subsequent to the actual sailing, the question is more involved, but the captor would in all probability release his prize. Insurance of a belligerent property is valid unless the policy includes a guarantee of neutrality. Of course, unless the character of the property be disclosed, a policy could be avoided on the ground of concealment of a material fact. That the possible acquisition of prize money is of material service as an incentive to effort to our seamen is considered by some authorities as very doubtful, for it is counterbalanced by many grave objections, and has proved on numerous occasions to have operated or resulted very disadvantageously. For instances of the truth of this contention, the feud between Rodney and Arbuthnot, on the coast of North America; the disruption of the friendly relations between Nelson and St. Vincent, terminating in a law suit; and the hostile criticism of Lord Howe's conduct on the 1st of June, on the ground that his anxiety to secure the prizes prevented him following up his advantage to the full, may be cited. In considering what the effect of the abolition of the maritime capture would be upon the legal profession, one's mind at once reverts to the somewhat grotesque experiences of the famous Lord Cochrane in connection with the Maltese prize courts in 1811, and the incident in relation thereto in the House of Commons on the 11th of June of the same year, when he produced his proctor's bill, stating that it measured six fathoms and a quarter, and contained (as it did) many curious charges. This, of course, is an exceptional case, and could not occur to-day, and the profession may be excused if they express the same opinion at his lordship, which he maintained to his death, in spite of his unfortunate experiences in the matter of condemned prizes-that if this right were abolished, certain II do not entertain that view; on the contrary, I believe the evidence of the am that the prestige of our Navy is gone till the old system is restored."

Any person having the custody of a will of the above is requested to communicate with Weightman, Pedder, & Weightman, solicitors, 18, Water-street, Liverpool. Lord Ludlow referred to the Criminal Evidence Act. He said: I cannot Some person charged was interposed at this particular point to enable the prosecution to deal with it. The person charged has the right of the general reply or last word. Section 1 (a) says the person charged is not to be called as a witness except on his own application. What is the duty of the judge? The person charged, if undefended by counsel or solicitor, probably does not know that he may ak to be called. Is he to be told? I answer in the affirmative, and I shall, at the close of the evidence for the prosecution, ask him if he would like to tell his story where he is, or to tell it on oath in the witnessbox. I have been fearful that the mere failure of the person charged or his wife or husband to give evidence might be regarded as corroboration of guilt, and I tried to introduce into the Bill, when in the House of Lords, the provision contained in section 1 (b), which is, "The failure of any shall not be made the subject of any comment by the prosecution." I was unable to do so there, but it was carried in the House of Commons, and to my mind will, to a considerable extent, protect the person charged, and to some extent help to preserve the fundamental rule, that the prosecution must make out their case without any assistance from the party charged, a rule which the court should forcibly impress on the minds of the jury. Section 1 says that the person charged should be a competent witness at every stage of the proceedings." Some doubts have been expressed as to whether this includes proceedings before the grand jury. I am quite clear that it does not. Such proceedings are ex parte, und the inquiry is one to BOUVERIE DEEDES, deceased.-Any person holding a will made by, or any document belonging to the late Mr. Bouverie Deedes, of 10, Lancaster-person charged with an offence or of his wife or husband to give evidence place, W.C., and Downside, Epsom, is requested to communicate with Messrs.

APPOINTMENT. Mr. JAMES WILLIS MILLS, of the firm of Crust, Todd, Mills, & Sons, of Beverley, has been appointed a Commissioner for taking Affidavits to be used in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, Canada. there he immediately detailed two stalwart policemen to clear the court of all intruders. This they attempted to do with the aid of towels and coats and any available weapon, which they swung vigorously about them. But the wily insects merely flitted from place to place, buzzing awhile around the unkempt heads of the early morning drunks and disorderlies, now and then seeking shelter up the sleeves or on the expansive necks of the policemen themselves, only to return again and circle gaily around the attractive scalp of the presiding magistrate. Huge palm-leaf fans were procured, and two athletic policemen were stationed on either side of the judge with orders to keep them in perpetual motion. Still the ubiquitous insects sang their song of victory in the ears of justice. Candles were lighted RALPH CECIL LEACH and THOMAS WILLIAM OGLE WHEELER, solicitors around the altar of the blind goddess and cheerful invitation was extended (Leach & Wheeler), 10, Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-street, London, and 21, to the insects to singe their wings in the fascinating flame, but they didn't Lower Phillimore-place, Kensington.

Eventually when the court and attendants realized Cecil Leach will continue to practise at No. 10, Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-together, and after the prisoners had been returned to their peaceful cells that there was no escape but flight, books and papers were hastily piled street, aforesaid, and the said Thomas William Ogle Wheeler will continue to practise at 21, Lower Phillimore-place, Kensington, aforesaid. [Gazette, Oct. 11. CHANGES IN PARTNERSHIPS, &c. DISSOLUTIONS. GENERAL. It is stated that Mr. Henry Hall, of the Solicitors' Department of the Treasury, has resigned his appointment there after a considerable term of service. He was formerly in the Public Prosecutor's Office, when that post was held by Sir John Maule, Q.C. The Globe refers to the threefold defence successfully put forward against a claim for damages for dog-bite: "Firstly, defendant denies that plaintiff was bitten; secondly, defendant denies that it was his dog which bit the plaintiff; and, thirdly, defendant never had any dog." The Times says it is understood that Sir Francis Jeune's Load Line Committee is nearing the end of its labours, and that, unless some unforeseen hitch occurs, its report will be in the hands of ministers in time for a Bill embodying such of its recommendations as may need legislative sanction to be introduced early next Session. The Exchange Telegraph Company states that two or three members of the Money-lending Committee, who took a specially active part in the inquiry of last session, are preparing a Bill on the lines of the committee's report, which they intend to introduce in the event of the Queen's Speech of next session containing no specific promise that the Government will bring forward a Bill dealing with the evils of the usury system. The judges (Bigham and Phillimore, JJ.) have fixed the following commission days for the Autumn Assizes on the Northern Circuit: Carlisle, Tuesday, November 1; Lancaster, Friday, November 4; Manchester, Tuesday, November 8; Liverpool, Monday, November 28. There will be no civil business at Carlisle or Lancaster, but at Manchester and Liverpool both civil and criminal business will be taken. Mr. Justice Kennedy has fixed the following dates for the Autumn Assizes on the Western Circuit: Salisbury, Tuesday, October 25; Dorchester, Saturday, October 29; Taunton, Wednesday, November 2; Bodmin, Tuesday, November 8; Exeter, Friday, November 11; Winchester, Thursday, November 17; Bristol, Thursday, November 24. Criminal business only will be taken, and the court will sit at each place at 11 a.m. on the morning following the above dates. The Chicago Legal News says that there are several hundred persons engaged in the practice of the law in Chicago whose names do not appear upon the roll in the Supreme Court as having been admitted. They are advised to take the next examination before the State board of law examiners, the 4th of October, 1898, and in the meantime cease practising law or go into some other business. The Grievance Committee of the Chicago Bar Association, it is understood, has the names of all such persons, and is taking steps to proceed against them. On the occasion of the re-opening of the Law Courts, a special service will be held at Westminster Abbey, at 11.45 a.m., which the Lord Chancellor and Her Majesty's judges will attend. Members of the bar wishing to be present are requested to send their names on or before Wednesday, the 19th of October, to the Secretary of the General Council of the Bar, 2, Hare-court, Temple, E.C. Barristers attending the service must wear robes, and should be at the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster Abbey (Dean's-yard entrance), where robing accommodation will be provided, not later than 11.30 a.m. The Daily News says that Mr. Dane, Q.C., who has lately been appointed county court judge of Mayo, one day (according to a friend of his) took a short drive on an outside car to the Four Courts in Dublin, and, on getting down, paid the exact fare to the driver, who was evidently about to demand more when a comrade, who had just put down another fare, stopped him with a loud whisper: "Be aisy, Mike; don't you see it's Mr. Dane?" "Oh," answered the other in a tone of perfect enlightenment, "it's one o' thim Danes, is it? Well, annyhow, this is a mighty poor way of takin' revenge for Clontarf; an' me wid a family of seven small childer." Mr. Dane heard this allusion to Brian Boru's victory over the Danes, as its author intended, and he so much appreciated its wit that he gave the man an extra shilling. A New York paper says that an army of mosquitoes recently laid siege to the Flatbush police-court and succeeded in utterly routing judge, clerks, prisoners, and big policemen, so that administration of justice had to be suspended until such time as the victorious hosts chose to vacate the stronghold they had won. The moment that Judge Bristow took his seat it was seen that there was trouble in the air. The atmosphere was so thick with it that he had to fight his way to the bench, and on arriving the session was adjourned until such time as the mosquitoes should decide to seek fresh fields and pastures new. The following is the rota of arrangements fixed by the judges of the Queen's Bench Division for the ensuing Michaelmas sittings-viz.: The Lord Chief Justice will sit with a Divisional Court during the sittings (the hearing of commercial causes intervening from the 10th to about the 30th of November); Mr. Justice Hawkins will be absent on the SouthEastern Circuit until the beginning of December, and on his return will try actions; Mr. Justice Mathew will proceed with the commercial list Justice Day will be away on the North and South Wales Circuit until until his departure for the Midland Circuit on the 10th of November; Mr. about the end of November, and on his return will try actions; Mr. Justice Wills will sit with a Divisional Court during the sittings, and Mr. Justice Grantham, Mr. Justice Lawrance, and Mr. Justice Bruce are expected to try actions during the whole of the sittings; Mr. Justice Wright will be engaged on companies work and bankruptcy business (sittings with the Railway and Canal Commission intervening); Mr. Justice Kennedy will be away on the Western Circuit until about the end of November, and on his return will proceed with the commercial list; Mr. Justice Ridley will be in attendance at judge's chambers until his departure for the Oxford Circuit on the 7th of November; Mr. Justice Bigham will try actions (a sitting at the Central Criminal Court intervening) until he leaves for the Northern Circuit on the 1st of November; Mr. Justice Darling will try actions until he goes on the North-Eastern Circuit on the 16th of November, as also will Mr. Justice Channell until he joins the same circuit on the 2nd of December; and Mr. Justice Phillimore will try actions until he goes on the Northern Circuit on the 8th of November. The Paris correspondent of the Westminster Gazette, in an interesting letter on the French Court of Cassation,__ says: "The Court of Cassation, which is the supreme Court of France, is held in Paris, the Chambre Civile, and the Chambre Criminelle. and is composed of three chambers: the Chambre des Requêtes, It is the lastnamed chamber which has charge of the Dreyfus dossier, which M. Loew, the President, upon whom the decision of the Court entirely depends, has already examined in conjunction with the charge of M. Manau, the Procurator-General of the Republic, who sent the case before the court for revision. M. Loew has appointed M. Bard, the well-known Councillor of the Court of Cassation-who, by the bye, was the 'Reporter' in the appeal which Lieutenant-Colonel Picquart made against the decision of the Indictment Court in regard to the charge against Major Esterhazy and his mistress, Marguerite Pays-as' Reporter' in the Dreyfus case, and that lawyer is engaged at the present time upon the examination of documents which constitute the Dreyfus dossier, an undertaking which one may not expect him to conclude before three weeks have elapsed. Upon the report of M. Bard_the_court will act, and one of three courses is open to it to follow. The President of the Criminal Chamber which case M. Bard, the 'Reporter,' would make a deeper and still more of the Court of Cassation may either order an inquiry to be made, in detailed examination of the dossier, or decide that no new fact' had Justice, simply annul the judgment of the Dreyfus court-martial. But come to light, or, having obtained fresh instructions from the Minister of whatever the Court of Cassation may decide there can be no doubt that its decision will be held in great respect, the court having the entire confidence of all parties."
