wretched prisoners awaiting the dreaded presence of the judge little dream how much more the judge often dreads the ordeal than they do. When I see these unhappy creatures, and think over what may have been their infancy and their childhood, and their early associations, and the utter absence of all chance of forming good habits and cultivating happy instincts, they seem to me far more objects of compassion and pity than of vengeance and hatred, and I tremble to think by what an accident of accidents our positions are not reversed. At the same time, our social system, if it is to exist in anything like a civilized form, must be protected, and crime must be punished as a deterrent against repetition, and the criminals must, if possible, be reclaimed. But vengeance is not ours, and to indulge in it is mere savagery and ferocity. I am bound, however, to say that I sympathize to a large extent with the wonder and perplexity in the publio mind caused by what strikes them as the inequality and uncertainty of sentences. To a certain extent this inequality is no doubt real. So long as judges have different ideas respecting degrees of criminality and of punishment this must be so; but to a still larger and by far the larger extent their inequality is apparent only and quite unreal. In the case of most crimes there is great latitude of punishment sanctioned by the law, because there is the greatest diversity and inequality in the possible degrees of criminality; a burglary may be a most alarming and atrocious crime committed by a professional housebreaker, or it may be in substance a trivial petty theft; a manslaughter may present features exceeding in villainy and cruelty many murders, or it may be little more than a common assault; aud the intermediate degrees between these are infinite. The knowledge of the public is derived from the reports in the public press, and in the vast majority of cases, as I am informel by the most experienced of the judges, it is absolutely impossible to obtain from these reports a faithful or adequate picture of all the features of the case. None but the most skilful of reporters with adequate space at his command can present a true and faithful representation, disclosing the essential points in just perspective with the real lights and shades and colour belonging to the true picture; when the reporter is careless, unskilful, or unfaithful, of course, the case is hopeless, and it is further an undoubted fact that many reporters form their own theory of a case and, in their short abstract, unconsciously give undue prominence and weight to those points which tend to support their theory. One of the most experienced of the judges informed me that i was a common experience for him to notice in the reports of cases that facts which he regarded as of great consequence as bearing upon the degree of criminality were wholly unnoticed, whilst others were brought into false and unnatural light. What wonder, then, that the public mind is astonished and perplexed at the inequality of sentences ? The subject is one of vast and far-reaching consequences, and one well worthy the attention of public men; but if the people wish fairly to judge the judges they must be careful first to see that they have a true and faithful picture of their actions.

OBITUARY.

LORD JUSTICE JAMES.

The Right Hon. Sir William Milbourne James, LL.D., Lord Justice of Appeal, died at his residence, 47, Wimpolestreet, on the 7th inst., at the age of seventy-four. The deceased judge was the son of Mr. Christopher James, of Swansea, and was born in 1807. He was educated at the University of Glasgow, where he proceeded to the degree of M.A., and he was more recently created an honorary LL.D. of the s.me university. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's inn in 1831, and practised for many years as an equity draftsman and conveyancer. For some years his professional progress was slow, but he gradually obtained a lucrative prac tice, and the reputation of a sound equity lawyer. In 1851 he received a silk gown from Lord Truro, and a year or two afterwards he succeeded the late Lord Westbury as ViceChancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster. He never had a seat in Parliament, but in 1859 he was a candidate for the borough of Derby in the Liberal interest. He had for many years a fair business. He was leading counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated spiritualist case of Lyon v. Home, and he held a brief in the Colenso case, and other important ecclesiastical suits. In 1869 he was appointed a ViceChancellor by Lord Hatherley in succession to the late Sir George Giffard, and he received the honour of knighthood. In the following year he was appointed a Lord Justice of the Appeal and a Privy Councillor, in succession to the late Sir Charles Selwyn. His colleague, Lord Justice Giffard, died a few days afterwards, and he thereupon became senior Lord Justice, the late Sir George Mellish becoming his colleague. On the passing of the Judicature Acts he became a permanent member of the new Court of Appeal. Lord Justice James' health had long been precarious, but he seldom absented himself from his judicial duties. He was attacked with congestion of the lungs about a fortnight before the end of the Easter Sittings, but it was hoped that he would be able to resume his seat after the present vacation. He was a bencher of Lincoln's-inn, and had served the office of treasurer of that society. He was married in 1846 to a daughter of the Right Rev. Dr. Otter, formerly Bishop of Chichester.

A prospectus is issued of the "Central Wynand Gold Mining Company (Limited)," which is formed to acquire and work a mineral property, adjoining the Develah-Moyar and other well-known mines in the centre of the auriferous region. The property is known as the Manakan Kotay Mala, and comprises, according to survey map, 1,560 acres. Assays made by Messrs. Johnson, Matthey, & Co., from samples of quartz sent home, are stated to have yielded very favourable results. The capital is £100,000, in £1 shares, of which 33,000 will be taken as part payment by the vendore.

The following, says the Scottish Journal of Jurisprudence, appear in the public newspapers as words used by a learned Lord Commissioner of Justiciary in passing sentence on a prisoner who had the misfortune to have only one leg. In pronouncing sentence of six months' imprisonment, his lordship strongly advised "the prisoner to seriously consider during that time whether he should not do well to return to honest hairdressing. If he did not he might be sure he would come to serious evil before long. That would not be a thing in the far future, but immediate and certain for society would prove too strong for him, even if he had two legs, but he seemed, being a cripple, to have only Bromilow, Georga, Bolton, Lancaster, Bootmaker.
