return to the barracks shortly after the offence. Whether I was rightly informed I cannot, of course, say; but the prisoner undoubtedly by keeping his defence back to the last moment, and then bringing it unexpectedly before the jury, got an advantage which he assuredly ought not to have had. This trick of keeping back a defence is one of the most dangerous to public justice which could be played by persons accused of crime. I have known many cases of it, and I think it is well worthy of consideration whether, before their committal, prisoners ought not to be examined before the magistrates, and whether a power of adjournment might not be intrusted to judges when such points are raised, in order that they might be properly dealt with. I remember a case in which a prisoner was tried for embezzlement. He was defended by counsel, and was convicted. When called upon to say why he should not be sentenced, he gave an account of the transaction which his counsel had never suggested, but which, on questioning the witnesses who had testified against him, appeared to be, to say the very least, so highly probable, that the jury desired to withdraw their verdict, and instead to return a verdict of not guilty, which was done. This was an illustrative case, and one of considerable interest. It shows both the strong and the weak sides of the proposed change in the law. It shows its strong side, because it gives an instance in which a man was enabled, by telling his own story, to escape from what would presumably have been an unjust conviction. It shews, or rather suggests, its weakness, because it shews how great an opportunity the examination of prisoners might afford for artfully contrived frauds and evasions of justice. Each of these observations requires some development. To take the strong side first. It must always be borne in mind that the business of prosecuting and defending prisoners, though in some respects the most important branch of legal business, is the least important of all if it is measured in money, and that it is in many cases in the hands of the lowest class of solicitors and the least experienced class of barristers. A great criminal trial, in which the prisoner has plenty of money, and in which the prosecution is conducted by the Treasury, is susceptible of little improvement, but the case with the common run of criminal business is totally different. If the prisoner is not defended at all, he may, and often does, fall into every kind of mistake. He may have a good defence, and not know how to avail himself of it. He may be shy and ill-instructed, and not put it forward at the proper time. He is probably not aware of his rights in respect to the calling of witnesses, and may therefore not be prepared with them at his trial. If, on the other hand, he is defended, he is in all probability in the hands of a solicitor of the lowest class, to whom he and his friends probably give some very small sum, say £2 or £3. The solicitor gets from the clerk to the magistrates a copy of the depositions, puts on the back of them a sheet of paper endorsed "Brief for the prisoner, Mr. guinea," pays some junior counsel £1 3s. 6d., and tells him that the nature of the case appears from the depositions. The counsel does as well as he can upon his materials, repeating with more or less energy and ingenuity the commonplaces appropriate to the occasion, and making the most of whatever he may have been able to obtain by cross-examination. The result is, that if the case of a pauper client presents any intricacy or requires any special attention, it is very apt to be mismanaged and misunderstood. have no doubt that in the case of embezzlement to which I have referred, something like this had happened. The prisoner's counsel was a busy and able man, he had obviously no instructions which deserved the name, and I suppose knew nothing about the case beyond what the depositions told him and what the prisoner could tell him in a few hurried unintelligible whispers from the dock, and so he exposed his client to an imminent risk of conviction. From dangers of this sort prisoners would be effectually protected by being made competent witnesses. They would be sure, at all events, of telling their own stories and, if the judge was competent and patient, of having them understood. In order to appreciate the importance of this it is necessary to bear in mind the fact that it is often exceedingly difficult to understand prisoners, and to appreciate the real nature of what they have to say, and also that it is quite essential to justice that they should be understood, and lastly that far the easiest and safest way of doing this is by questioning them. A prisoner, generally speaking, is an ignorant, uneducated man, dreadfully frightened, very much confused, and almost always under the impression that the judge and the jury know as much about his case as he does himself, and are able at once to appreciate whatever he says about it, although what he has to say consists mainly of imperfect allusions which he does not explain. One prisoner, I remember, who was charged with theft, made bitter complaints, by way of an irregular cross-examination, about his wife, his sister, and several other persons. In his mouth these complaints and reproaches were wholly unintelligible, thanks to the combined effects of ignorance, confusion, fear, and anger; but I found it possible, by giving him hints, which I must own were questions in all but form, to find out what he really meant, which was that the charge against him was a false one, got up from base motives, and founded upon the misrepresentation of innocent actions. The jury thought the defence important enough to justify his acquittal. If he could have been called as a witness, the matter would have been arranged much more clearly and satisfactorily. In cases of this kind I have no doubt that it would be in the highest degree conducive to justice to make prisoners competent witnesses; but it must not be forgotten that prisoners are not always needy or ignorant. They are in many cases thoroughly well aware of their position, and are well provided with money and with the professional assistance which money will procure. It certainly is to be feared that in such a case a prisoner would be so well advised as to his position, and as to the strong and weak points of his case, that he would be able in the witness-box to lie with skill and effect. I think that this, especially in capital cases, would be dangerous to the interests of justice. I do

usually ignorant, good-natured men, quite accustomed to the administra
tion of justice, and willing to receive any plausible statement consistent
with a prisoner's innocence as being enough at least to raise a reasonable
doubt on the subject. If the change in question should be made, it
would, I think, be necessary to modify the old doctrine about proving
beyond all reasonable doubt the guilt of an accused person, for it would be
a matter of moral certainty that whenever a plausible story consistent
with innocence could be devised, the prisoner would swear to it and find
others to help him.

LAW SOCIETIES.

LAW ASSOCIATION.

At the usual monthly meeting of the directors, held at the hall of the Incorporated Law Society, Chancery-lane, on Thursday, November 4ththe following being present-viz., Mr. Styan (chairman), and Messrs. Hollams, Sawtell, Sidney Smith, Williamson, and A. B. Carpenter (secretary) — a grant of £15 was made to a non-member, and the ordinary general business was transacted.

HUDDERSFIELD INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY.

The fifth annual general meeting of this society was held at their rooms,
Imperial Arcade, Huddersfield, on Monday, the 25th of October.
The chair was occupied by the president, Mr. CHARLES MILLS, solicitor,
and there was a good attendance of members. The report of the com-
mittee was read by Mr. CHARLES HALL (one of the hon. secretaries), from
which it appears that the number of members is now fifty-seven, and that
all the solicitors in practice in Huddersfield are members of the society.
It also contains special mention as to the law library, conditions of sale
of the society, the use of bankruptcy proxies and as to the advisibility of
power being conferred for a general proxy to be given by a client to his
solicitor. The committee noted that, as a result of a resolution passed at

address of the president of the Incorporated Law Society at the York
The PRESIDENT, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the
meeting, and the opinion then expressed as to the assimilation of the law
of real to that of personal property. Seeing that the legal charges and cost
for conveyancing of property of the value of £100 was £3, and up to £300
was only £5, Mr. Mills was of opinion that the real obstacle to small
ownerships was not the cost of transfer but the want of capital; and he
said this was evidenced by the fact that, though during the past twelve
had not increased.
years property had decreased in value, the number of small holdings
He was of opinion that the profession had kept
pace with the growth of public opinion in the matter of legal reform, and
that it was very necessary to be extremely careful in making alterations
hurriedly. He instanced the various Bills of Sale Acts as having caused a
great amount of litigation, owing to unscientific drafting, and stated that
in his opinion the Act of 1882, instead of carrying out its principal in-
tention, of protecting needy persons from the extortions of money-lenders,
had, owing to its being so stringent and so difficult of construction, pre-
vented borrowers from obtaining money on the security of bills of sale
upon reasonable terms, and had thrown them into the hands of unprincipled
money-lenders who exact interest at exorbitant and ruinous rates owing to
the risk which is now involved in taking these securities. He thought
that the law affecting securities of personal chattels ought to be placed
upon an equitable and intelligent basis, and that all the public is entitled
to is to be protected against secret bills of sale. Beyond this the law
ought not to go, on the ground that it is impolitic and unjust to limit the
power of disposition by the owner of property whether it is realty or
personalty, and that it would be better either to permit of valid bills of
sale being freely made, subject to due registration, or to abolish them
altogether. After referring to the codification of the criminal law and the
Bill drafted by Mr. Justice Stephen and the codification of the law of
partnership, Mr. Mills said that in his opinion there was one reform more
needed than all others in the method of legislation- viz, the system of
passing amendment Acts instead of repealing the old law and embodying
the old law as amended in a new Act; the effect of our present system of
legislation being that our legislators heap Act upon Act to the mystifica-
tion of the law and the advantage of the lawyers. "Confusion becomes
worse confounded," and it is no uncommon thing to hear our judges
express astonishment at the careless and unscientific manner in
which Acts of Parliament are framed. The president concluded his
address by thanking the members for the cordial manner in which they
had co-operated with him in promoting the objects of the society.
Mr. LEAROYD seconded the adoption of the report, which was passed
unanimously.

LAW STUDENTS' JOURNAL.

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY.

At the weekly meeting of the society, held on Tuesday (Mr. J. D. Crawford in the chair), the motion for discussion upon the paper was:"That the decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Blackburn, Low, &Co. v. Vigors (17 Q. B. D. 553) was wrong." Mr. Bilbrough, in the absence of Mr. E. E. Davies, opened the debate, being followed on the same side by Messrs. Devonshire, McNab, and Biden, and opposed by Messrs. Foden, Pattinson, Buckmaster, and Bernard Hill. After Mr. Bilbrough had replied, the chairman summed up the arguments of both sides and put the motion to the society, when there voted for the motion nine, and against it eight, whereupon the chairman declared the motion carried. There were thirty-three members and two visitors present.

GENERAL.

Mr. Henderson applied on Monday to Mr. Justice Chitty for directions under peculiar circumstances. An original affidavit, filed by his client, had been bitten by a terrier dog, who mistook it for a daily paper. He believed that the dog was under "proper control" at the time, because the catastrophe happened indoors, but no doubt the dog had committed a gross contempt of court.-Mr. Justice Chitty (to whom the mangled affidavit was passed) remarked that the animal had bitten the document in such a way as to injure the name of the commissioner. Mr Henderson suggested that a further affidavit should be made. Mr. Justice Chitty directed a further affidavit verifying the mutilated portions to be made, and handed the affidavit to the registrar (Mr. Lavie), after receiving an assurance from him that he did not keep a dog.

under a landlord was what was called tenancy by feu-ferme. This was tenancy in perpetuity by the payment of a certain stipulated annual LUTHER LODGE GRAND PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION OF LOYAL ORANGEMEN, Three rent and other dues, and was the next thing to freehold. Then there was tenancy by life-rent, in which case the holding was secured to the tenant for life if he continued to pay the stipulated rent. Far more common, however, was tenure by tack or lease for a stated number of years. Nineteen years was, he thought, the longest term in such cases; tacks usually were for three, four, five, six, or seven years. This system of short lease was, one might say, the universal one between landlords and the better classes of tenants all over Scotland; but there was a large number of small annual tenants or tenants at will, holding on in the same occupancies year after year, and even transmitting them to their descendants, but doing so by no express agreement, and therefore liable to be turned out on a change of landlord or on any change of circumstances on the part of the landlord in possession. Very many of the small tenants, and all the crofters and cottars, seemed to have been in this predicament.

On Wednesday, at the Manchester Assizes, before Mr. Justice Cave, Frederick Huxley, a solicitor, was charged with obtaining money by means of false pretences at Manchester on the 12th of October last. It appeared that two prisoners named Mary Kelly and Frances Turner were committed for trial at the Manchester October Sessions. The husbands of the respective women, being desirous that they should be defended by Mr. M'Keand, a barrister practising at Manchester, saw the prisoner Huxley and told him that they wished Mr. M'Keand to be retained for the defence, and asked the prisoner what money he would require for the defence. The prisoner said he would do it for £6 10s., which was paid to him. Shortly before the sessions Kelly saw the prisoner and asked him whether he had given the brief to Mr. M'Keand. The prisoner said he had, and had paid Mr. M'Keand his fee-£4 10s. 6d. These statements were untrue. For the defence it was contended that the prisoner was a man who had obtained as a student numerous medals and prizes, that the whole case turned upon a mere question of words, and that it was highly improbable that a man of reputation would agree to undertake the defence of the prisoners and pay Mr. M'Keand £4 10s. 6d. when the whole amount he received was £6 10s. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment.-Times.
