THE LAY MIND has been grievously exercised during the present week over a verdict returned in a recent divorce case. The jury, as the report in the daily papero informs us, in answer to the question, "Do you find that the respondent has committed adultery with the corespondent ?" replied, "We do not." And, to the further question, "Do you find that the co-respondent has committed adultery with the respondent?" they replied, "We do." And they assessed the damages at £1,000. In arriving at this decision, the jury followed the suggestion of the learned President, who informed them that such a verdict "would not be illogical or wrong." This the layman pronounces incomprehensible; if the man has committed the offence his paramour must have committed the offence. Granted, but then our "man of common sense" forgets that all questions of fact must be tried inter partes, and the evidence admissible on an issue depends upon the parties between whom that issue is tried. The matters at issue in a divorce case are, first, has the respondent committed adultery so as to entitle the husband to a divorce; and next, has the co-respondent committed adultery with the respondent so as to entitle the husband to damages? These questions are no doubt brought before the jury in a certain connection, but, as the judge said in Stone v. Stone and Appleton, (3 Sw. & Tr. 608), “they are distinct and must be kept distinct as if they were two separate causes tried by two separate juries." The admissions of the co-respondent are not admissible in the case against the respondent, just as in Robinson v. Robinson and Lane (1 Sw. & Tr. 362), it was held that the admissions of a respondent were not admissible in evidence against the co-respondent. The verdict in the issue against the co-respondent in the recent case appears to have depended wholly on his repeated statements, whether true or false, that he had committed the acts of adultery charged; but this evidence was inadmissible on the trial of the other issue, on which the jury have, in effect, found that the statements were untrue. The co-respondent has, therefore, the privilege of paying £1,000 for his statements; the husband retains his wife cleared of the imputation which the statements conveyel, and receives, in effect, £1,000 damages for the making of them. The A CURIOUS QUESTION was raised in a case at the Stafford Assizes, on Saturday. A woman was indicted for that "she, having as mother the care and custody of the corpse of her infant child, and being bound to provide indecently did neglect and omit for it decent Christian burial, unlawfully, wilfully, and decent Christian burial, and unlawfully, wilfully, and to provide such indecently did put and permanently leave, or caused the said corpse to be put and permanently left, in a place unfit and improper for the reception thereof." facts of the case were that the prisoner having been confined of an illegitimate child, the child died two days after birth, and was buried in the garden of the house where the mother and her family lived. The rule of the common law as laid down by Lord Campbell in R. v. Vann, (2 Den. C. C. 325), is that "a man is bound, if he has the means, to give his deceased child Christian burial, but unless he has the means he is not indictable for neglecting to do so." But there appears to be no clear authority as to what is meant by "Christian burial," and as Mr. Justice Bowen held in the recent case that there was no evidence to go to the jury, the point was left undecided. THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS took occasion on Tuesday to remark that on three occasions recently he had found it necessary to discharge restraining orders taken ex parte on the ground that such orders had been made on statements which turned out not to be strictly correct. It is matter for great regret that instances of this kind should occur in courts where the statements of counsel are, and always have been, implicitly relied on by the judges. Without imputing any intention to deceive the judge, it is obvious that such occurrences must be due to carelessness, either on the part of counsel in reading his instructions, or of the solicitor in preparing or communicating them. It would be a calamity for suitors if the Chancery judges were to be compelled on every occasion to verify the statements of counsel, as being borne out by the evidence. A TRANSFER of 60 causes to Vice-Chancellor Bacon's cause-book, and thence to Mr. Justice Fry for the purpose of hearing only, is in contemplation. Of these 60 causes, 30 were originally set down before the Master of the Rolls, 10 before Vice-Chancellor Malins, and 20 before Vice-Chancellor Hall. We believe the order of transfer will not be published until next week. EFFECT OF ABSENCE OF DUE ATTESTATION ON BILLS OF SALE. THE case of Davis v. Goodman (L. R. 5 C. P. D. 20), recently decided in the Common Pleas Division, appears to us to be a rather strong decision. The court held that unless a bill of sale is attested in accordance with the Bills of Sale Act, 1878, it is void as between the grantor and grantee. Section 8 of the Act (41 & 42 Vict. c. 31) provides that every bill of sale "shall be duly attested and shall be registered under this Act within seven days after the making or giving thereof, and shall set forth the consideration for which such bill of sale was given, otherwise such bill of sale, as against all trustees or assignees," &c., in bankruptcy or liquidation, &c., and also as against all sheriffs' officers and other persons seizing in execution. &c., and also as against every person on whose behalf such process shall have been issued, "shall be deemed fraudulent and void so far as regards the property in or right to the possession of any chattels comprised in such bill of sale, which, at or after the time of filing the petition, &c., or of executing such process (as the case may be), and after the expiration of such seven days, are in the possession, or apparent possession, of the person making such bill of sale," &c. By section 10 it is provided that a bill of sale shall be attested and registered under this Act in the following manner, viz. :-"The execution of every bill of sale shall be attested by a solicitor of the Supreme Court, and the attestation shall state that before the execution of the bill of sale the effect thereof has been explained to the grantor by the attesting solicitor." The reasons given by the judges of the Common Pleas Division for their decision were that, inasmuch as the provisions with regard to the explanation of the bill of sale before execution were intended for the protection of the grantor of the bill of sale, and were not matters in which the parties specified in section 8 were interested, and the Act could not have intended them to be merely brutum fulmen, the only mode of giving effect to the Act was by holding that if they were not duly complied with the bill of sale was void. We have great difficulty in seeing that, as a matter of construction, the language of the Act is fairly capable of the meaning put upon it by the court. The title of the Act is" An Act to consolidate and amend the law for preventing frauds upon creditors by secret bills of sale of personal chattels." There are express provisions in it making bills of sale void as against the classes of persons it is the main object of the Act to protect under certain circumstances, and no express provisions for making bills of sale void as against the grantor, or void generally for non-compliance with the provisions of the Act. We cannot see how, according to the established rules of con-struction under these circumstances, a court can safely imply that a bill of sale shall be void, except as provided expressly by the Act. The court seem to have assumed that unless the bill of sale were held to be void there was no security whatever for the observance of the requirements of the Act intended for the protection of the grantor. This assumption does not seem to us to be wholly justified. It is impliedly made the duty of the solicitor attesting the bill of sale to explain the bill of sale to the grantor, and the attestation must state that he has done so. The Act also requires an affidavit of the due execution and attestation of the bill of sale as a condition precedent to registration. Consequently by the 8th section, unless these conditions are fulfilled, the bill of sale will be void as against execution creditors and trustees in bankruptcy. This is, in itself, some considerable guarantee against the omission of the conditions necessary to due attestation. It is true that, unless the construction given to the Act by the Common Pleas Division be correct, the bill of sale might be good against the grantor, although not duly executed or attested under the Act; but as the grantee must always run the risk of losing his security in the event of a bankruptcy or execution if the bill of sale is not duly registered, there is a very substantial penalty upon failure to comply with the Act, and a very substantial inducement to comply with it. It seems reasonable to suppose that the Legislature, wishing to protect grantors of bills of sale in certain respects in which experience showed that they needed protection, made the explanation of the bill of sale a condition precedent to valid registration under the Act by way of incidentally securing the required protection to grantors of bills of sale. It might not be in itself an unreasonable provision that the bill of sale should be void if the required explanation were not given, though it may be remarked that this is rather a severe penalty upon the grantee of the bill of sale, who may not personally be to blame in the matter. It seems to us, however, that to imply such a provision is a matter of considerable difficulty, having regard to the express provisions of the 8th section with regard to the avoiding of bills of sale.
