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.

Open from 12 till 5 and 7 THERE IS NO FOUNDATION for the doubt which has been recently publicly expressed as to whether the report of the Procedure Committee will be published. Both the Lord Chancellor in the one House, and the Attorney-General in the other, have promised to lay the report on the table. With regard to the suggestion that the judges will make rules based on the report before the latter is published, we may point out that as all the members of the Rule Committee of Judges (with one exception) are away on circuit, and the Long Vacation will commence before their return, there is no prospect of any meeting of the committee being held to consider any proposals which may be made. THE CHIEF CLERKS at present attached to the Master of the Rolls will remove in the course of the Long Vacation to the Royal Courts of Justice. PROFESSIONAL OPINION, which, happily, has a powerful representative in the House of Lords in Lord CAIRNS, has proved fatal to the proposal to constitute journeymen judges of the Court of Appeal. It is to be withdrawn, and we hope will never be heard of again. Its origin was revealed by the Lord Chancellor when he said that "from the communications which he had had with the judges, he was led to believe that, especially in the Queen's Bench Division, the opinion prevailed that such an arrangement would conduce to greater harmony." If by " greater harmony the Lord Chancellor's informants meant greater tenderness in dealing with the decisions of judges of first instance, this is not a quality which the profession desires in a court of appeal. The real objection to the proposal is that which Lord CAIRNS had the courage to avow "that it assumed that all the primary judges were fit to sit in the Court of Appeal. best men were required for that court. The proper way of getting the best men was to choose from time to time the most distinguished primary judges and promote them to the Court of Appeal. But if all the primary judges were to be treated as eligible for the Court of Appeal the popular respect for that court would be lowered." The So MANY JUDGES of real eminence and worth have died within a comparatively short space of time, each of whom has, with the most perfect propriety, been spoken of in terms of praise and respect, that there is a fear lest, among some persons at any rate, it may seem almost a matter of course that lawyers should pronounce a somewhat exaggerated eulogy over the grave of every judge. But it is safe to say that no words of highest commendation that we can use when speaking of the late Lord HATHERLEY will give rise to any such notion in the mind of any member of our profession who is old enough to remember him as Chancellor, Lord Justice or Vice-Chancellor. Readiness of apprehension, unflagging industry, jealous husbanding of the public time, patience, courtesy, and learning-these have been, and are, possessed by many past and present occupants of the bench. But in the case of the great man whom we have just lost, there seemed to be as it were around and above, or, perhaps, it would be better to say, at the root and centre, of all these great excellencies, a simplicity and pureness, wholly unattended by any weakness, of personal character, which is rare among all classes of men, and which certainly does not become more common as we pass into the class of men who have made good their footing in high place and office. It was the great charm of ViceChancellor WooD's court that there, at any time, the English law might be seen worthily administered by the very type and model of an English Christian gentleman. It is not too much to say that, throughout the long period during which he had practised at the bar, and sat in Parliament and on the bench, he had preserved a sensitiveness of conscience which made fraud or unfair dealing a positive pain to him. This natural antipathy to wrong was shown, not at all in cheap outbursts of righteous indignation, but in a certain uneasiness of position, and a change of colour and expression, that spoke more eloquently than words. In some instances, no doubt, this characteristic led him to administer rather morality than law; but in by far the majority of cases any such tendency was counterbalanced by his clear perception of the lines laid down by his predecessors, and his conscientious desire not to overstep the real limits of equity jurisprudence. Like every other eminent judge, Lord HATHERLEY's most abiding monument must be such of his judgments and decisions as have taken rank as leading cases. But, besides this, there is the less lasting, but not less precious, monument of his worth which is represented by the memory of those who saw him from day to day, and saw nothing in him that was not good and noble. THERE IS LIKELY to be some difficulty with reference to the reward offered for the discovery of the perpetrator of the Brighton Railway Murder, as to claims made by several persons, and as to the value of several kinds of information. We do not know of any authority on the title to a reward offered by the police or other public bodies, or relating to the discovery of a murderer, but the books contain four cases at least bearing upon rewards offered by private persons for the discovery of thieves. In Lancaster v. Walsh (4 M. & W. 16), the handbill issued stated that whoever would give information whereby lost notes might be traced should, on conviction of the guilty parties, receive a reward, and it was held that the only person entitled to the reward was he who first gave such information. In Williams v. Carwardine (4 B. & Ad. 621), it was held that the motive of the party giving the information was immaterial. In Smith v. Moore (1 C. B. 438), TINDAL, C.J., was of opinion that the words of the handbill (which merely followed the common form) were large and general enough to comprehend every mode by which information could be conveyed that might have the effect of discovering and convicting the guilty person, and this view seems to have been confirmed by the Exchequer Chamber, in the most recent case of Tarner v. Walker (15 W. R. 407, L. R. 2 Q. B. 301). It seems from these authorities (1) that the whole reward falls to the first informer; and (2) that it is a question for the jury whether the information given by the claimant did or did not lead to the apprehension of the criminal, so as to entitle him to the reward. THE BILL which it is proposed to style the Statute Law Revision and Civil Procedure Act, 1881, which is just about to pass, if it has not already passed, the House of Lords, is not likely to meet with either opposition or criticism in the House of Commons. It may be well, however, at once to call attention to its provisions. They are in pari materia with those of the Civil Procedure Acts Repeal Act, 1879, but travel to an im portant extent beyond the scope of that Act. The Act of 1879 expressly repealed, either wholly or in part, one hundred and fifteen procedure enactments which had been impliedly repealed by subsequent statutes. The present Bill expressly repeals, wholly or in part, eightytwo similar enactments, but includes in the repeal enact IT APPEARS to be as yet uncertain when and where the trial for the Brighton Railway Murder will take placements which were displaced (we purposely abstain from in the event of any person being committed to trial for it, and suggestions are said to have already been made that it might be desirable that the trial should take place at the Central Criminal Court under the powers of the "Palmer Act" (19 Vict. c. 16) by which indictments may be removed into that court by certiorari, when it shall appear "expedient to the ends of justice" so to remove them. It does not seem necessary, however, to apply the powers of this Act for the purpose of obtaining a trial at the Central Criminal Court, inasmuch as the case is exactly provided for by 7 Geo. 4, c. 64, s. 13, and 4 & 5 Will. 4, c. 36, s. 2. The first-mentioned section enacts that "for the more effectual prosecution of offences committed during journeys from place to place, where any felony shall be committed on any person in or upon any coach, waggon, cart, or other carriage whatever employed in any journey, such felony may be dealt with, inquired of, tried, determined, and punished in any county through any part whereof such coach, wagon, cart, or carriage shall have passed in the course of the journey during which such felony shall have been committed, in the same manner as if it had been actually committed in such county." Under 4 & 5 Will. 4, c. 36, s. 2, at least one part of one county through which the carriage passed in which the murder is alleged to have been committed is in the Central Criminal Court district. saying impliedly repealed) by rules made by the judges subsequently to the Judicature Act, 1875. By neither Act nor Bill is there (except in a few immaterial instances occurring in the Act) any repeal of the Common Law Procedure Act, 1852, which contains hundreds of provisions totally inconsistent with the Judicature Acts and the Rules scheduled to the Act of 1875. The third column of the schedule to the Bill (which it is not proposed to print with the Act) contains very fully and neatly the reasons for each separate repeal. It is curious to observe that, whereas the sections of Turner's Act (13 & 14 Vict. c. 35), which are displaced by ord. 34, r. 7, are repealed as being "virtually repealed" by that rule, there is no repeal of Keating's Act (18 & 19 Vict. c. 55) (the Summary Procedure on Bills of Exchange Act, 1855), which is displaced by ord. 2, r. 6a. Assuming that the provisions of this rule should remain unaltered, why should Turner's Act be repealed, while Keating's Act is left standing? If the reason be that Turner's Act applied to a superior court only, whereas Keating's Act may be, and has been, applied by Order in Council to inferior courts, we cannot think such reason a valid one. Surely there might be a repeal with a saving, so as to repeal the Act as to the Supreme Court only, as was done with the Statute of Gloucester, and many other Acts, by the Civil Procedure Acts Repeal Act, 1879. A similar course might be followed with the Common Law Procedure Acts, which may be, and have been, similarly applied to inferior courts. It |
