AN IMPORTANT CONVENIENCE TO LAW WRITERS AND
SOLICITORS.

STEPHENS' SCARLET INK FOR STEEL PENS. This new Ink supplies the demand continually made but never before met, for a Red Ink which is uninjured by Steel or other Metallic Pens. 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.

Sold in stone bottles, retail at 1s., 2s., 38; and Imperial Quarts of 40 ounces at 6s. each. Also in glass bottles at 6d. and 12. each, SOLD BY ALL STATIONERS.

occupy some hours) the solicitor for the prisoner has to take the original order to the gaol where the prisoner is confined, and present it to the governor, and then, not till then, cau he obtain the release of his client. Where, as in a recent case, the prisoner is confined in a country gaol, and the order is made at the close of the week, these formalities might result in an unreasonable prolongation of the imprisonment. In these matters, where the liberty of the subject is concerned, it would seem to be desirable that some mode should be devised for enabling the governors of gaols to release chancery prisoners on a simple direction signed by the judge and countersigned by the registrar, and with the seal of the registrar stamped upon it; the formal order for release being drawn up afterwards.

WE HAVE RECORDED several instances of "Boycotting solicitors in Ireland, and it now appears that the bar are to be subjected to this process. We learn from an Irish journal that at a meeting of a local branch of the Land League at Ennistymon it was unanimously resolved "That as Mr. SWIFT MCNEIL, barrister-at-law, took up the case of RICHARD STACPOOL, J.P., against the evicted tenant, MARTIN WALSH, Rannagh, we hereby pledge ourselves to give him no more professional support in this county; and we hereby direct our secretary to send copies of this resolution to every branch in this county, to invite them to co-operate with us in punishing this gentleman for backing up the worst case of landlord tyranny that has occurred in this county since the formation of the Land League."

THE RELEASE of a chancery prisoner is a matter attended with somewhat unnecessary complexity. Before the culprit can be let out an order must be made by the court, and this order is a document which requires to be drafted, fair copied, and, when passed by the registrar, copied onto the records. After this process (which may

statement of the law as laid down by the House of Lords entirely accords with that we ventured to put forward as soon as the case was decided (ante, p. 89). A wife, he says, in her mere character of wife, has no authority to pledge her husband's credit, even for necessaries. She can only pledge his credit if an express authority to do so has been given to her by her husband, or if the circumstances are such as to justify the court in inferring that the husband had, in fact, intrusted her with such authority. Where there is no express authority the question will now always be has the husband so conducted himself as to entitle the tradesman dealing with the wife to rely upon an appearance of authority? In the case before Mr. DANIEL, it appeared that the tradesman had never before dealt with the wife; that the only payment which he had received had been made by the wife, and that the husband was not present when such payment was made; but it was stated that the husband had been in the tradesman's shop when his wife was there, and upon this the judge held that the wife had authority to pledge her husband's credit. The evidence on which he proceeded is stated in the report as follows: -"His Honour: Has the husband been present when any payment has been made ?-Plaintiff: He has been in the shop, but not present when the payment was made.He has been in your shop when the wife was there ?Yes." It does not quite clearly appear from this report whether the husband accompanied his wife to the shop when she went to pay for the goods, or whether he merely took her with him to the shop on some other occasion when he went to make a purchase for himself. In the former case, the inference of agency may reasonably be made; in the latter, it is impossible to say that any such inference arises. We cannot doubt that the evidence must have shown that the husband had accom

panied the wife to the shop when she went to make her payment.

IT APPEARS that the Manchester Chamber of Commerce are about to carry out the long talked of project of a tribunal of commerce, and we cannot say we are surprised to hear it. The arrangements for assizes for the trial of civil business at Liverpool and Manchester are simply preposterous, and it is not wonderful if mercantile men cry out for tribunals of commerce or anything else to rescue them from such a state of things. At the same time we cannot help thinking that the Chamber of Commerce would be better employed in

166

THE SOLICITORS' JOURNAL

putting pressure on the Government to induce them to give reasonable facilities for the trial of civil causes in Lancashire, than in attempting this hopeless scheme of a commercial tribunal. When will men learn that of the two ways of deciding controversies, either according to settled rules or by the light of nature, the former is the only one which a commercial community will long tolerate? For, as the Judicature Commissioners pointed out, it is of the first importance to such a community that the decisions of these tribunals should, on all questions of principle, be, as far as possible, uniform, so as to afford precedents for the conduct of those engaged in the ordinary transactions of trade. If this is true, then the judges of commercial tribunals must be guided by the recognized rules of law and the decisions of superior courts in analogous cases. But only judges who have been trained in the principles and practice of the law can be expected to be so guided; hence comes the conclusion that commercial questions must be determined by men of legal training.

The held that, upon the evidence, the road was not beyond the ordinbeing had," said Lord Coleridge, f the district, and of its inof wagon in use, I do not think sire. If the district were au would probably be so; but

THE recent case of Wallington v. Hookins (29 W. R.
152) supplies another guide to the interpretation of a
loosely expressed, but just and much-needed, provision of
the Highway Act, 1878. By section 23 of that Act it is
provided that "where, by a certificate of their surveyor,
it appears to the authority which is liable to repair
any highway that, having regard to the average expense
of repairing highways in the neighbourhood, extra-
ordinary expenses have been incurred by such authority
in repairing such highway by reason of the damage
caused by excessive weight passing along the same, or
extraordinary traffic thereon, such authority may re-
cover in a summary manner from any person by whose
order such weight or traffic has been conducted the
amount of such expenses as therein provided. The
appellant in the recent case was a quarrymaster, who
had been ordered by justices to contribute to the repair
of roads in consequence of his having caused extra-
ordinary traffic on them. At the hearing before the
justices it was proved that there were several other
quarries in the neighbourhood, and that the stone traffic
was a recognized business, and was of a permanent
character; that the traffic had increased considerably
since 1871, but there had been no great increase since
the passing of the Highway Act, 1878; that the wagons
used by the appellant for transporting stone were con-
structed in the manner usually adopted for stone wagons,
and weighed from a ton to a ton and a half, and carried
loads of from three to four tons, these were found to be
the usual loads in the stone traffic; that the roads in the
district had been formed and maintained with reference
to the stone traffic, but their repair was far more ex-
pensive than that of roads used only for agricultural
traffic. Upon these facts tho justices held that the stone
traffic was not extraordinary traffic within the meaning
of the section, but that the weights were excessive,
and that extraordinary expenses had been incurred within
the meaning of the section. The Queen's Bench Division
held that the appellant was not liable to contribute to
the repair of the roads.

IT IS STATED that, with the forthcoming number of the Law Reports, it is proposed to carry into effect a change in the mode of publication. For the future reports from the three divisions of the Queen's Bench, the Common Pleas, and the Exchequer will be comprised in the same volume, with a continuous pagination. By this change, slight in its apparent effect, but important in its real meaning, another step will be taken towards the general recognition of all these courts as a single division. At the same time, library shelves will obtain a distinct relief by the substitution of at most two compact volumes for the three or four of varying degrees of thinness which the law reporters at Westminster have hitherto provided every year. A volume of chancery or appeal cases in the Law Reports averages about 900 pages in bulk, whereas a volume of Exchequer or Probate cases contains little more than one-third of this total. The four volumes for Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, Exchequer, and Probate for 1880, which must each be bound separately, aggregate altogether about 1,740 pages, being about equal to two volumes of the usual chancery size. With this may be compared the volume of the WEEKLY REPORTER for 1880, which contains in only 988 pages of a single compact volume nearly all the cases in the huge array of the Law Reports for that year.

At the last term of the Caldwell Circuit Court, says an American legal journal, a young gentleman from New England applied for a licence to practise law. The committee appointed to examine him touching his qualifications reported adversely. The applicant got on the floor of the court, coolly surveyed the members of the bar, and then said, "May it please the court, your committee may be_right; Í don't think so. But, from the look of this bar, I am the first man who was ever refused a licence."

Now, on the words of the section it will be seen that
the liability to contribute may be incurred in two ways:
extraordinary traffic, to pass along the highway, pro-
in consequence of causing (1) excessive weight, or (2)
vided that the result of such excessive weight or extra-
ordinary traffic is to cause the highway authority to
incur "extraordinary expenses" in repairing the high-
ways. The question of what are extraordinary expenses
is directed by the section to be determined by
average expense of repairing highways in the neigh-
bourhood." But how are the questions of what
is "excessive weight" or extraordinary traffic" to
be settled? According to Grove, J., in Lord Aveland
v. Lucas (28 W. R. 446, L. R. 5 C. P. D. 211),
extraordinary traffic does not mean traffic un-
usual in character; it means "an abnormal amount of
it, a great amount in character, regardless of its
source; it means extraordinary as to that particular
road; and "excessive weight" means, not an
unusual weight on particular occasions, but
quantity passing along the road as
a whole."
And Lindley, J., added that "the word 'excessive' has
regard to the weight usually put upon the road, and
roads may be made for different purposes-that is to say,
one road might be made additionally lasting if meant
to sustain a greater amount of wear and tear than
other roads in the district." On appeal, Lord Justice
Bramwell, in affirming the judgment of the Common
Pleas Division, said that the appellant clearly "had done
damage to the road, and thrown extra burden upon it
beyond its ordinary and normal use." The result of
these decisions seems to be that "extraordinary traffic
is traffic exceeding in amount the ordinary traffic on

Sir Watkin Williams, in replying to an address by a Welsh assembly congratulating him upon his elevation to the bench, remarked that great and radical changes had lately been made in the judicial system, and that still further changes were pending. In the "good old days," as they were called, of Lord Ellenborough and Lord Abinger, it was the boast of the judges that they could dispatch thirty-five causes in a day; they, in fact, crushed through a cause-list like an elephant through a rice plantation. Law was dissociated from justice and right, and became a common byeword for absurdity and wrong. Unintelligible technicalities were now being rapidly swept away; causes were thoroughly tried on their merits, but in place of hours they occupied days; they were more open to popular criticism on their merits, and appeals were multiplied. One thing, at least, was certain that there was now a more thorough attempt to do real justice as well as to administer mere law.
