Whitaker, Lancaster pl, Strand [Gazette, Sept. 17.1 THE COST OF LITIGATION. "AN Old Pleader," writing to the Times, makes the following suggestions: The serious increase in the expense of litigation is mainly due to the tedious warfare at chambers with which it is now possible to anticipate the battle in court. A great part of this wasteful skirmishing might be avoided if there were a careful judicial supervision of the process in each cause. To this end causes should be assigned to particular judges, who should deal with each case from the issue of the writ. Pleadings in their present form might, as a general rule, be dispensed with; a short plaint, on the one hand, and particulars of grounds of defence, on the other, would be sufficient. Our present pleadings generally describe the plaintiff's case inaccurately, and rarely afford the slightest olue to the defendant's real answer. It has been said, with some humour, that if perfect pleadings be required, the proper time to prepare them would be after the cause had been tried and the law ascertained by argument in the Court of Appeal. There is no reason why the simpler procedure of the county courts should not be generally adopted in the superior courts. The judge should have ample power to direct in what manner the cause should be tried, whether with or without a jury or before an arbitrator. Either party should be at liberty to apply to have the cause disposed of in a summary way, and as a "short cause," where the point in dispute admitted of an easy solution. The business at chambers should be dealt with exclusively by the masters. appeals in matters of procedure should be to the judge to whose list the cause was assigned, who should hear the appeal in open court. Legal notices should be sent through the post. The safe delivery of legal documents might easily be insured through a special department of the Post-office. The expense of personal service is a serious portion of the bill of costs. For the trial of civil causes in the common law divisions England and Wales might be divided into four districts and the cases tried in central towns in each district. Full time should be allowed for the business of each town. I believe we now possess a procedure well adapted for ascertaining the facts of any case, however complicated. But the machinery is often much too unwieldy. I believe the profession would rejoice to see the judges armed with powers to apply to each case the methods of investigation best calculated to insure a cheap and speedy administration of the law. The proceedings which are endurable or useful where the amount in dispute is considerable and the facts obscure become an intolerable burden where the amount in dispute is small and the facts may be readily sifted. I believe the best mode of dealing with the growing cost of litigation will be by enlarging the sphere of judicial supervision and control in the conduct of business in the common law divisions. A NOVEL LAW REPORT. THE New Jersey Law Journal reports the case of Kuhn v. The shades of night were falling fast, With crude petroleum near the town A piercing shriek, a blinding flash, The oil igniting, sparkling, flowed a bottle of lemonade, which he drank there. There were ten persons in the place, who partook of ginger beer and lemonade. Mr. Lowe said his client was a fruiterer, but he also sold ginger beer and lemonade. He contended that the defendant did not require a refreshment licence, as his house did not come within the 6th and 7th sections of the Act, not being "a house of public refreshment, resort, and entertainment," and no "animal food or other victuals" being sold there. His client did not sell animal food or victuals, and cigars did not come under that head, neither would apples or grapes come under the head of victuals, and he asked their worships to say that the house was not a refreshment house within the meaning of the Act, as there was no accommodation at it and no entertainment, the ginger beer being merely handed over the counter. He submitted that it must be all three to constitute a refreshment house "a place of refreshment, resort, and entertainment." The section did not say or entertainment," but "and entertainment." He called the defendant, who said there was no seat and no table in the shop; the customers had the ginger beer handed to them, and left as soon as they had finished it. Mr. Eccles submitted that it was sufficient for the defendant to keep open for public refreshment and resort to constitute the premises a refreshment house. The magistrates dismissed the case. At the Portobello Police-court, on Monday week, Bailie Buchan gave his decision in a case affecting persons holding grocers' certificates. A few days ago, Mr. Andrew Stewart, grocer, High-street, Portobello, was charged with selling drink to be consumed on the premises. It was stated for the defence that the liquor which the police saw in the hands of a customer had been given him for the purpose of "sampling." The Procurator-Fiscal (Mr. White) held this to be a contravention of the statute, and sought for a conviction. The case was adjourned till Monday, when Bailie Buchan read the following judgment, after he had satisfied himself that an entry regarding the purchase of whisky by the person engaged in "sampling" had been made in the order-book:-"I find in this case that the small quantity of whisky was supplied by the accused bond fide for the purpose of being then and there tasted, with a view to purchase; that Mr. Morrison, in tasting, swallowed a part of the whisky, and that thereupon he gave an order for s quantity of it. The question of law is whether that was a contravention of the accused's certificate, which prohibits him from trafficking in or giving excisable liquors to be drunk or consumed on the premises.' The question is a very important and delicate one, and after the best consideration that I can give it I am of opinion that it was not. The giving of spirits to be consumed on the premises is the part of the libel on which the prosecutor relies as entitling him to a conviction. It appears to me, however, that he is putting too critical and literal an interpretation upon the words of the statute. If such a view were to be taken it would be illegal for a licensed grocer to allow whisky to be flung into the fire, as it would thereby be consumed. The general scope of the Licensing Acts must be considered in construing the prohibition, and having this in view, I think it is simply directed against treating-that is, giving gratuitously for the purpose of drinking, as one would give to a friend in his dwelling-house."
