At the Easter Intermediate, out of 25 pupils, 22 passed.] THE RESULT of the absence of the Master of the Rolls from his court during the last two weeks has been to enlarge his Saturday list of petitions, short causes, and motions to alarming dimensions. A large number of matters in this list have stood over, and both suitors and practitioners will welcome the return of the learned judge on three days of the week. Two OF THE CHANCERY COURTS have been blocked during the last fortnight with cases of exceptional magnitude. Vice-Chancellor BACON has just concluded a case relating to submarine telegraphs in which, as the learned judge plaintively remarked, the pleadings and evidence extended to upwards of 1,000 pages of printed matter. Vice-Chancellor HALL is in the midst of a case relating to certain gold mines in India, several of the briefs in which consist of large volumes about six inches in thickness. THE DOUBT We expressed (ante, p. 520) as to whether the construction of the Infants' Relief Act, 1874, adopted by the Chief Judge in Ex parte Jones, Re Jones, was correct, has been fully borne out by the decision of the appeal in that case, the members of the Court of Appeal having unanimously dissented from the decision of the Chief Judge. "The words of the Infants' Relief Act," said the Master of the Rolls, 66 were perfectly general, and could not be restricted so as not to apply to trade debts, and an infant could not, by filing a liquidation petition, by adopting a proceeding which would only be valid if he was an adult, alter his status." The point decided is that an infant debtor who has traded (but without expressly representing himself as of full age) cannot be adjudicated a bankrupt in respect of a trade debt contracted, and upon an act of bankruptcy committed, during his infancy. The question whether an infant trader can be adjudicated bankrupt in respect of a debt contracted under an express representation by him that he was of full age, is not expressly touched by the decision, but the reasons given by the Master of the Rolls seem to be conclusive that he cannot. CURRENT TOPICS. WE ARE ENABLED to state that the publication of the report of the Legal Procedure Committee will not be postponed much longer. It has been circulated as a confidential document among the judges, and cannot be made public until they have dealt with it. THE LORD CHANCELLOR commenced his sittings with the Court of Appeal at Lincoln's-inn on Thursday last, and will continue to preside there on Thursdays and Fridays until the Long Vacation. During the same period the Master of the Rolls will sit with the court on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays in each week. IT IS HARDLY NECESSARY to point out that, in view of these arrangements, it does not appear probable that the vacancy on the bench of the Court of Appeal will be filled up until after the long vacation. The patronage is in the hands of the Prime Minister. THE SUPPLEMENT to the London Gazette, containing the titles of nearly 2,900 dormant accounts in the books of the Chancery Paymaster, to which we referred last week as in course of preparation, appeared earlier than we anticipated, being stimulated, no doubt, by the questions which were asked in Parliament. It is stated that no information will be given by the Chancery Paymaster respecting the money or securities standing to the accounts mentioned in this list until he has been furnished with a statement in writing by the solicitor requiring such information of the name of the person on whose behalf he applies, and that in such solicitor's opinion the applicant is beneficially interested in such money or securities. This precaution cannot be called unnecessary, but considering that the object of the Legislature in requiring this list periodically is to enable persons entitled to the funds in court to apply to the court for payment, the account as published cannot be said to supply sufficient information. There are to be obtained in the Central Office of the Supreme Court many details which would assist legitimate inquiry. For example, the names of the solicitors who were originally concerned in each case could be extracted from the books there, and if added to this list would give material assistance. In one respect the form of the list published in the Gazette does not comply with the 91st rule of the Chancery Funds Consolidated Rules, 1874, pursuant to which it purports to be published. The rule says the list is to be a list of the "titles of causes and matters." The interpretation clause (rule 2) says that "title of cause' shall, with respect to causes commenced since the 1st of November, 1852, mean the title of the cause with reference to the record in the following form-viz. (A. v. B., 1874, A. 100)." Throughout the whole list of forty-two pages of the Gazette, the reference to the record is not once to be found. Now, this reference is the principal clue by means of which any one may search for and lay open the mysteries of the dormant funds in chancery. In every case to which rule 2 applies, this reference is on the books of the Chancery Paymaster, and might have been easily supplied. The absence of it, and of the other information referred to above, detracts greatly from the utility of the list. THE JUDGMENT of the Court of Appeal in the case of Angus v. Dalton was, on the 14th ult., affirmed by the House of Lords. We discussed the judgments in the Court of Appeal at the time when they were pronounced, and took occasion to point out some of the considerations involved in the two conflicting views of the subject. It is obvious that there are two possible bases for prescriptive rights- viz., long enjoyment per se, and long hostile enjoyment. It has never before been distinctly laid down in English law upon which of these two bases prescription depends. The recent judgment in the House of Lords goes a very long way in the direction of establishing the first-mentioned as the true basis. The judgment of the Lord Chancellor, so far as may be judged from the reports in the daily papers, certainly runs counter to what has been the general notion of the law in many respects. There are many dicta to the effect that the Prescription Act (2 & 3 Will. 4, c. 71), s. 2, only applies to positive, and not to negative, easements. The Lord Chancellor's judgment negatives the distinction between the two classes of easements. We are disposed to think that he may be so far right as that the distinction is not, in point of principle and expediency, correct, but there are words in the 2nd section of the Prescription Act which may be considered to favour the distinction so far as that section is concerned. The 66 the case of an easement hostilely exercised, and one law. fully exercised, for obvious reasons. If a man chooses to acquiesce in the exercise of acts that would afford him a ground of action, he does that which makes it just to presume a grant against him. But the fact that a man does not interfere with lawful acts that it is perfectly competent for his neighbour to do, gives rise to no presumption against him of a similar character. But, notwithstanding, after a great lapse of time it is a greater hardship that the long enjoyment of the one should be interfered with than that the other's right should be restricted, though he have been guilty of no laches, and have done nothing to justify any presumption against him. We are somewhat disposed to regret the judgment of the House of Lords, because, though we think that rather than that there should be no prescription for support, the period had better be the same as in the case of other easements, yet, if the judgment had been the other way, the law might, by the Legislature, have been put on a footing more consistent with what we conceive to be justice. Twenty years seems to us too short a period in the case of support, for many reasons which we have not space now to go into. THE FUGITIVE OFFENDERS BILL, & Government Bill, which has recently passed the House of Lords, is an amplification of, and improvement upon, the Act 6 & 7 Vict. c. 34, which bears the colourless title of "An Act for the better apprehension of certain offenders." The scope of this legislation, which the ease and frequency of travelling communication between all parts of the world seems to render absolutely necessary, is simply the apprehension at home of colonial offenders, and the apprehension of home offenders in the colonies, and we observe that in the present Bill occasion is taken to provide for the apprehension in any one colony of an offender charged with an offence committed in any other colony. The original Act contained ten sections only, while the present Bill contains forty-two clauses. It is provided by the third and principal clause that "where a warrant has been issued in one part of her Majesty's dominions for the apprehension of a fugitive from that part" a judge, &c., "in another part of her Majesty's dominions, in or on the way to which the fugitive is or is suspected to be, if satisfied that the warrant was issued by some person having lawful authority to issue the same, may indorse such warrant, .. and the warrant so indorsed shall be a sufficient authority to apprehend the fugitive in the part of her Majesty's dominions in which it is indorsed, and bring him before a magistrate." The words in italics are new, and strike us as being rather vague and difficult to work. It is also new, but seems to be desirable, to allow a Bowstreet magistrate, as well as a Secretary of State, to indorse the warrant. The offences to which the Bill is to apply are rather awkwardly defined. By 6 & 7 Vict. c. 34, s. 10, a warrant is not to be indorsed except in case of treason or felony, "or unless the depositions appear sufficient to warrant the committal of such persons for trial." The offences within the scope of the Bill are "treason and piracy, and every offence, whether called felony, misdemeanor, crime, or by any other name," which is punishable where committed by "imprisonment with hard labour for a term of twelve months or more, or by any greater punishment." If Colonial statutes were as accessible as English statutes are, this would do well enough; as it is, unless the Bow-street magistrate is prepared to adjourn to his Inn of Court library, there may be great practical difficulty in discovering what offences are or are not within the Act. Would it not be better to include as offences under the Act all offences described as "extradition crimes" by the Extradition Acts, and no other offences ? enjoyment is to be by a person claiming right thereto (ie., to an easement) without interruption." See also section 5, where the words "as of right" occur. Those words, it might be urged, look rather as if a hostile user was contemplated. It is, perhaps, rather a stretch of ordinary language to say that a man doing a perfectly lawful act on his own land claims right to an easement. It is part of the ordinary enjoyment of the land that the light comes to it, that it supports buildings, &c. There is no right separate from and superadded to the land, no easement claimed by the persons who use the light or support. Whereas a man who exercises a positive easement-i.e., does some act wrongfully affecting his neighbour's land-does, in the ordinary use of language, exercise an easement as of right. It seems to us that it is the negative character of the easement, coupled with these words in the Act, that constitute the strength of the contention that the Prescription Act, section 2, applies only to positive easements. But the words may merely be meant to exclude cases in which the user is permissive, and it seems strange if the easement of support may be acquired at common law by prescription or by lost grant, that it should have been omitted from the Prescription Act. We take it the true view of the doctrine of lost grant is that it was merely invented to obviate the effect of proof that the enjoyment commenced within legal memory, and that it must stand on the same kind of enjoyment as prescription. So that the whole question comes back to the question what is the basis of prescription? It seem to us that if the law were to be constructed afresh, the justice of the case would be that a much shorter period of prescription should be required in 13 |
