Steel Pens left in this ink for months do not impair the beauty of its colour, nor are the Pens in the least corroded by it. The existing Red Inks rapidly destroy Steel Pens, and lose their red colour if used with other than Gold or Quill Pens. This new colour is a very rich scarlet red of great beauty. The colour of this ink is not affected by use upon parchment, and is consequently of great value to Solicitors and Draughtsmen. Sold in stone bottles, retail at 1s., 2s., 3s; and Imperial Quarts of 40 ounces at 68. each. Also in glass bottles at 6d. and 1s. each. The Companies Acts, 1862 to 1879.

JONES, refer to this case for the purpose of pointing out that the prohibition of the commissioners was sprung upon the applicant without any warning. No such restriction as that laid down by them is to be found in the Trademarks Registration Acts or Rules, or even in the Instructions to Applicants issued by the registrar, and it is inconvenient that general rules of this kind should be laid down without the fact of their existence being brought to the knowledge of the public. In In re Brook (26 W. R. 791) a set of regulations laid down by the commissioners was produced in the same way, and it certainly seems that it would be far preferable for such regulations as recommend themselves to the commissioners to be introduced into the rules under the Registration Acts, which could very easily be done by the act of the Lord Chancellor and the assent of Parliament. If this course were adopted, the instructions issued by the registrar would be easily confined to their proper function of advising applicants as to the mode of prothey should adopt, leaving questions affecting trade-mark owners' proprietary rights to be decided by rules having the force of law, or by the court. cedure which .................................................... 538 538 Jones v.

For reasons already given, we think the conclusion of the committee is correct, but it is plain that it lands all parties in a somewhat awkward position, as neither the conclusion of the committee nor of the House has any binding force in law.

If he once more claims to make the solemn promise, there is no legal machinery for compelling an officer of the House of Commons to receive it. It has, indeed, been suggested-looking, perhaps, to the words of the 6th section of the Act of 1866, that the oath is to be taken "at such hours and according to such regulations as the House may direct "-that the House might frame a Taylor's Settled Estates, In re (Ch.Div.

CURRENT TOPICS. 597 AFTER SATURDAY, the 15th inst., the business of the Chancery Paymaster's Office will be conducted at the Royal Courts of Justice. Mr. EDWARD LIONEL ALEXANDER CLARKE, of the firm of Messrs. Church, Sons, & Clarke, has been appointed Chief Clerk to Vice-Chancellor Sir James Bacon in place of Mr. J. B. Allen, deceased. WE LEARN that, although the Chancery Paymaster is announced to remove to his new quarters on Saturday, he has not yet succeeded in obtaining from the Treasury the extra clerks required to enable him to divide his ledgers over six rooms instead of four. It is understood that the office of the Bank of England for cashing small cheques, attached to the Paymaster's office, will be situated close to the entrance in Bell-yard, hitherto un used, which leads to the Paymaster's rooms, and that this entrance will in future be open during business hours. AS WILL BE SEEN by referring to another column, the Court of Appeal have affirmed the decision of ViceChancellor Bacon in the case of Rotherham's Trademark, in which that judge overruled the regulations of the Commissioners of Patents prohibiting the registration as trade-marks of words in foreign languages. We any such regulation would be clearly illegal. Much standing order for a resolution as the machinery of admission, having been previously repealed by the MINISTERIAL RE-ELECTION. Parliamentary Oaths Act, 1866), inasmuch as the cath THE defeat of the Home Secretary at Oxford seems to prescribed by the Parliamentary Oaths Act, 1866, afford a favourable occasion for considering a question of omitted the words " upon the true faith of a Christian," some importance. Into the political aspect of the occurrence the only words of religious adjuration contained in itif, indeed, it has any political significance-we do not being "So help me, God." A more convenient course would seem to be to introduce an amending Bill following the model of the Evidence Amendment Act, 1869, under which a person objecting to take an oath in a court of justice may make a declaration instead, "if the presiding judge is satisfied that the taking of an oath would have no binding effect on his conscience; the word "Speaker" being substituted for the words "presiding judge." "THE CONTRACT With the grantors of the [fire] policies," said the Master of the Rolls, in North British and Mercantile Insurance Company v. London, Liverpool, and Globe Insurance Company (L. R. 5 Ch. D. 576), " is a contract of indemnity, and indemnity only. It is to indemnify R. & Co. against loss by fire." And the Court of Appeal in that case held that if the assured, having a right to obtain indemnity from a third person, came upon the insurance company, the latter were entitled to be subrogated in the place of the assured. One result of the application of this doctrine does not seem to have been understood until it was pointed out by the Court of Appeal on Wednesday last. If a landlord insures his premises, and a fire occurs, and the premises are rebuilt or reinstated by the tenant before any claim is made on the policy, the landlord cannot recover anything from the insurance company. And if, after the landlord has received the insurance money, the tenant rebuilds or reinstates the premises, the insurance company can recover back the insurance monies from the landlord, either by the old common law action for money had and received the actual sum of money paid upon a condition that a person had sustained loss, and no loss had been sustained-or equitably on the ground that the assured had been indemnified by the insurance company, and the insurance company had a claim to be subrogated in the place of the assured. Animals, says the Albany Law Journal, were prosecuted in courts of justice between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, for injuries by them to human beings or private property; and were subjected in due form of law to trial, judgment, and sentence-the latter often that of death in a cruel manner. This singular practice arose partly from a desire to apply the lex talionis in judicial form to the offending animal, and partly from superstition. (Agnel, Proces contre les Animaux, preface and pp. 31-2.) Where physical seizure of the offender was impracticable (e.g. of flies, locusts, caterpillars, &c., who injured the crops of the country, so as at times to create a famine), recourse was had to the ecclesiastical courts, by whom judgment of anathema and malediction was fulminated against the offending insecte, who were considered as sent by some demon. Here again legal forms were observed, and counsel often appointed to defend the insects. In Savoy, in 1587, a prosecution was instituted against certain weevil or vine grubs. The counsel for the grubs (unfortunately his name is omitted in the report of the case) presented argument after argument, until the prosecutor became worn ont, and finally offered the insects a locality to which they might retire. Their counsel first demanded a delay to consider the offer; then came into court several days after, and in the name of his clients declined to accept it, because the locality offered was sterile, and produced absolutely nothing. The prosecutor joined issue on this, and a jury of experts was summoned. Unfortunately their verdict was not recorded. (Agnel, p. 31.) Lastly, in Valence, in 1585, a prosecution against caterpillars was argued with great solemnity. "The points of ecclesiastical law urged were so acute (says Agnel, p. 35-6) as to require both theologians and lawyers to be called in. Meanwhile the insects died out." propose to enter; the question to which we invite attention is of wider scope and more general interest than lies within the domain of party politics. Is there any longer any good end to be gained by the exclusion, temporary or permanent, of placemen from Parliament? If not, is there any valid reason for continuing the operation of the 6 Anne, c. 41 (commonly cited as 6 Anne. c. 7), ss. 24, 25 ? and if there be no such reason, then would not the repeal of the provisions in question be a valuable, and is it not an urgent, measure of reform? The statute in question was passed in the first session of the first Parliament of Great Britain, and was mainly directed, as is shown by its title and preamble, towards more effectually securing the succession of the Crown in the manner prescribed by the Act of Settlement, and guarding against certain dangers, not unreasonably apprehended, consequent upon the union with Scotland then just completed. It was notorious at the time, and is matter of history now, that the great majority of the Scottish nobility and gentry were then strongly Jacobite; indeed, one of the reasons which most imperatively urged the Government to press on the Union was the fear that a reactionary majority in the Parliament of Scotland might leave only the alternative of a separation of the Crowns or a civil war. But the presence of so considerable an addition to the Jacobite contingent, already inconveniently strong, in the Parliament of England, created a new danger of a different kind. It is to be remembered that of the 512 members for England and Wales only about two hundred (ninety-four for the counties, and 110 or thereabout for the cities and a section of the boroughs) were returned for constituencies in any way amenable to public opinion; all the others, forming a considerable majority of the whole, sat either as mere nominees of individuals, or for boroughs whose representation was entirely in the hands of the town council or some similarly restricted body. A great number of these seats were completely at the disposal of the Government of the day, and many of the others were in the hands of noblemen and gentlemen who might very easily, it was apprehended, be induced to join the cause of the Pretender, at any rate after the death of the then reigning Queen. Anne's own predilection for her brother, and discontent at the prospect of the Hanoverian succession, were well If, therefore, even a very few of known to every one. the members on the popular side could be detached when the crisis arrived, it would seem to be not only feasible but easy for a reactionary Ministry to set aside the Act of Settlement, and proclaim, with the assent of Parliament, the restoration of James III. And the means for doing so lay ready at hand. Men had not forgotten how, during the long parliament of Charles II., opposition in the House had been, on more than one critical occasion, bought off with place; and they had but to turn their eyes across the Channel, to the Parliament supposed to represent the people of Ireland, to see the wonderful ease with which, by the creation of a multiplicity of well-paid offices, held at the pleasure of the Crown, and kept in store for the silencing of troublesome opponents, even the most naturally intractable assembly can be kept in the paths of docility and submission. When, then, immediately after the union with Scotland, it was found to be needful to pass an Act making further provision "for the better security of her Majesty's person and Government and of the succession of the crown of Great Britain in the Protestant line," this was recognized as one of the dangers to be guarded against; and accordingly by the 24th section of that Act it is provided that no person who shall have 66 |
