, one 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 I Jurors are not think it can be denied that the change suggested would in fact LAW SOCIETIES.

[Gazette, Nov. 2.] 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.

TIPTON CHURCH OF ENGLAND BENEFIT SOCIETY, Parish Church Schoolroom, TRUE BLUE FRIENDLY SOCIETY, Wyndham Arms, Clearwell, Gloucester. Oct 23 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. Oct 27 JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.
