THE NEWS OF THE DEATH of Lord Justice Thesiger will be received with equal regret and surprise. It is scarcely three years ago since his appointment to the office which his death has vacated was keenly, and not always favourably, canvassed and criticized. The cir

cumstances of his promotion, and the early age at which

he attained it, made the criticism not unnatural. But we ventured then to express a belief that the appointment would amply justify itself. The event has not disappointed those who entertained this opinion. To say that the late Lord Justice discharged his duties with unvarying courtesy, is only to say that, in this respect, he fulfilled the expectation of all. Nor could anyone doubt that he would bring to the consideration of every matter submitted to his judgment a conscientious and painstaking industry. But those who had felt most doubt at the time of his appointment soon perceived that, besides these qualities, he possessed a firmness, clearness, sagacity, and maturity of judgment which fully qualified him for the high and difficult position he held. Nor could any who practised before the eminent judges who constitute the Court of Appeal, in either of its divisions, fail to notice that his opinion had its full measure of weight and influence in their deliberations and decisions. It is a cause for the more regret that one who showed such eminent judicial faculties should be thus early removed from a court as to which it is, for many reasons, to be desired that its members should not undergo too frequent change.

SOME SURPRISE appears to have been created by the recent statement of a metropolitan police magistrate that the police have no power to arrest drunken persons, and ought to proceed against them only by summons. The law, however, is as it was laid down by Mr. Hannay. The powers of the metropolitan police are derived from the Metropolitan Police Act, 1839 (2 & 3 Vict. c. 47), s. 66, which authorizes the arrest by a constable without a warrant of "any person found committing any offence

66

street or public thoroughfare, "and who, while drunk, shall be guilty of any riotous or indecent behaviour"; but the section does not deal with the offence of drunkenness, if unaccompanied by riotous or indecent behaviour. It is somewhat singular that the Licensing Act, 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 94)-which, by section 12, imposes a penalty not exceeding 10s. (or not exceeding 20s., in the event of a second conviction within twelve months) upon every person found drunk in any highway or public place "does not give the police any power to take such persons into custody, although section 18 requires every constable, on the demand of a licensed person or his servant, to expel, or aid in expelling, from his premises "any person who is drunken, violent, quarrelsome, or disorderly," and provides that the constable may use such force as may be required for that purpose."

SINCE WE LAST NOTICED the progress of the building of the Royal Courts of Justice great activity has prevailed, and many rooms in the unoccupied portion of the building are more advanced than we had anticipated could be the case. For instance, on the western side of the great quadrangle, the rooms on the two highest floors (which are to be occupied by the chief clerks of the chancery judges) are so far advanced that the whole of that portion of the building could be made ready for occupation in a month's time. The window sashes are put in; the floors are laid, and everything previous to furnishing is done, except painting, and fixing the grates. On this question of grates it may be noted that the architect has profited by his experience of the rooms draught in the chimneys by means of already occupied. There it was attempted to establish a 66 ventilators" placed near the ceiling of each room over the chimneypiece and communicating with the chimney. The effect

of this was found to be that, as soon as a fire was

lighted, all the smoke was forced out through the

ventilator into the room, and it was not until some hours after the fire had been lighted that an equilibrium was established, and the smoke was induced to go up the chimney. Under the new plan, a small aperture is left at the back of the hearthstone, having a communication with the outer air, so that as soon the fire is lighted the smoke is driven up the chimney. Of course, we are not in the secrets of the architect or the Board of Works, but there seems to be no reason why the whole of this block should not be ready for occupation within two or three months at the furthest, and it would be no matter for surprise wero we to hear an announcement that after the Christmas Vacation the chief clerks of the chancery judges would enter upon their new chambers. The only drawback would be the fact that half the courts which are under the same roof are in such a backward state that the passages leading to the rooms in question could not be kept free from

workmen.

WHILE WE ARE GLAD TO OBSERVE the rapid advance towards completion of one portion of the building, there seems to be no reason to complain of the rate of progress in some other parts. Anyone who inspects from time to time a building of such magnitude as that of the Royal Courts of Justice cannot fail to be struck with the mass of small details which have the effect of retarding progress. For example, take the case of the passages under the courts, where in the groined roof there is an arching of stone filled in with red brick. Every brick has to be fitted with mathematical nicety and rubbed into shape, so as to follow the form of the roof. Such work as this delays necessarily the progress of the rooms above it. The courts are not, however, so far advanced as could be desired.

Most of them are roofed in, so as to be protected from the weather, but in none of them are the flooring joists in position, and although there may be seen in the corridors the oak ceiling which is one day to be put in position, this part of the carpenters' work appears to have been standing still for the last six months. It is satisfactory to observe that the corridors will be better lighted than we had anticipated, although the light will not be so good or so diffused as might have been desired. In the Central Hall no great advance is apparent. The gables at either end are complete, but the rooffs no further in position than the spring of the arches. The scaffolding by means of which the stone roof must be raised is not yet erected, but as soon as this is done progress may be looked for, as the stones appear to be already cut, and are only waiting to be placed in position. Outside the building the hoarding stands in the same position as it did eighteen months ago. About four feet have already been taken off the width of the pavement, and it is understood that five feet more are also to be taken in

order to make good the space blocked up by the Temple Bar memorial. The arcading, which now extends from the entrance up to the hoarding, will be immediately pushed on, and completed up to the archway forming the approach to the Central Hall, and the hoarding will then be removed so as to display the arcading for its whole length.

ONE OF THE SERVANTS in the Royal Courts of Justice a few days ago, after the building had been closed for the night, picked up three pieces of paper, lying in a passage, which proved to be securities of the value of £3,000 negotiable by bearer. He immediately took them to the superintendent of the building, who directed him to look in the daily papers to see whether any advertisement of their loss appeared. Finding an advertisement which appeared to relate to the loss, he went to the office of the solicitors named therein, and upon receiving satisfactory evidence that the property he had found had been lost by their clerk, delivered it up, and received the handsome gratuity of one pound! As articles of value are frequently found in the Royal Courts of Justice, it cannot but be satisfactory to the profession who frequent the building to learn that honesty is so well rewarded.

WE PRINT elsewhere an order of transfer of sixty causes from the Master of the Rolls' cause-book, and twenty causes from Vice-Chancellor Hall's cause-book to Vice-Chancellor Bacon, and for the purpose of trial or hearing only, from Vice-Chancellor Bacon to Mr. Justice Fry. Our readers will observe that the order of transfer is dated the 6th of August last; but, of course,

CONDITIONS FOR RETURN OF horses

NOT ANSWERING TO WARRANTY.

A CONDITION of sale of horses very commonly adopted at public repositories gives the purchaser a certain limited time within which to return a horse which does not answer to warranty or description. At Tattersall's the condition used a few years ago was that "horses not answering the description must be returned before five o'clock on Wednesday evening next, otherwise the purchaser shall be obliged to keep the lot with all faults" (see Head v. Tattersall, 20 W. R. 115, L. R. 7 Ex. 7). Here the consequences of not returning the horse within the stipulated time are expressly stated, and in the absence of any special circumstances of the kind raised as to the right or liability of the purchaser under to which we shall hereafter refer, no question can be such a condition. But it appears that a practice has grown up of adding words to this condition, providing shall be tried or examined by a competent person, whose that if a horse is returned within the time limited, it decision shall be final. In the recent case of Hinchcliffe v. Barwick (28 W. R. 940), the form of condition used was that " any horse not answering a warranty must be returned before five o'clock of the day after the sale; it shall then be tried by a competent person to be appointed by the auctioneer, and the decision of such person shall be final." The condition, it will be observed, omitted to specify what should be the consequence of not returning the horse before five o'clock on the day of sale. The plaintiff bought a horse which was warranted a good worker; he did not return the horse within the time specified in the condition, but afterwards brought an action for breach of the warranty; contending that the meaning of the condition was that if a purchaser wished to rescind the contract he must do so at once, but if he did not choose to rescind the contract he had still his remedy by action for breach of the warranty. The Court of Appeal however, affirming the decision of Pollock, B., held that the only remedy of the purchaser was to return the horse within the time limited by the condition. The object of the condition, Lord Justice Bramwell said, was to provide a ready and final mode of ascertaining and deciding between the parties whether or not the warranty had been broken. Lord Justice Thesiger also based his decision on the presumed object of the condition. “At auction marts,' he said, "sales are effected by persons unknown to each other, and it is naturally an object that the dealings should be carried cn in such a way as to insure as little litigation as possible. The mode in which this object is carried out at nearly all auction marts is that where there is a warranty which is not complied with, or when the article does not answer the description, it is to be returned within a certain time. It is then examined by a competent person, whose decision is to be final; and if the warranty is not com

it will only take effect in the cause list for the ensuing plied with, the auctioneer takes the article back, and

sittings, which is not yet made up.

IT WAS ARRANGED, before the lamented death of Lord Justice Thesiger, that his place at the ensuing winter assizes on the Oxford Circuit should be taken by Lord Justice Bramwell.

At the Leicestershire Quarter Sessions on Tuesday, the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Highway Board applied that four out of its twenty-seven parishes might be formed into a separate district bearing its own expenses, upon the ground that the expenses in them were greater than those in all the other twenty-three parishes together, owing to mining operations. The bench, however, refused to allow it, saying that the object of the Highway Act was to compel all the parishes to pay a fair highway rate, and prevent agricultural villages escaping simply because their traffic might be small.

the purchaser's money is returned to him. Consequently, disputes seldom occur. The words of this condition, though not clear, are sufficiently intelligible. They do not say that the horse may, but that it must be returned within the given time; it shall then be tried by a competent person, and his decision shall be final. These words clearly show that the purchaser agrees that the return of the horse is to be his only remedy." We quote these observations to show that the decision of the Lords Justices rested upon the fact that the condition expressly provided for the final settlement of disputes on the warranty. It is not necessarily an authority for the proposition that a mere condition that any horse not answering to a warranty must be returned before a specified time, will, in case the horse is not returned before that time, have the effect of shutting out the purchaser's remedy by action for breach of the warranty. Such a condition may perhaps be held to amount to a limitation of the time for objections to the horse on the ground that it does
