THE EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY BILL has given rise to very animated expressions of feeling, if not what deserves the name of opinion, on both sides of the question. We, however, are disposed to agree with the view expressed by a distinguished correspondent of the Times, whose letter is cited in another column, as the kind of enactment which (at all events, in its legal aspect) would have met the case. With reference to the spirit of the Bill, it is somewhat singular to find an American writer so little in harmony with the ideas of the working men's advocates as to pronounce this proposed change in the law, "So impolitic, unjust, and unequal as to verge on folly." This is the language of the Albany Law Journal.

THE CONDUCT OF A JUDGE of the Probate Court of California, if injustice is not done him by the report of a recent decision in the Supreme Court of that State, was open to some reflection in point of decency, however it may have stood with regard to law. The note to which we refer states that the judge in that capacity ordered, and subsequently confirmed, a sale by auction of an estate by the administratrix. The purchaser immediately afterwards sold a moiety of the property to the judge for half the price paid.

A DISCREDITABLE SCENE took place in the Bristol County Court last Tuesday. Mr. Norris, the leader of the local bar, deliberately refused to meet the counsel opposed to him, on the ground that he the son of the presiding judge. The counsel in question followed his father to Bristol on his appointment as judge of the Bristol County Court. He had previously been a member of the Midland Circuit, as his father also had been; but he has now been admitted, doubtless with full consideration, to the mess of the Western Circuit. This circumstance, we think, should be decisive of his right to practise at the local bar in any court. Apart from this the judge had ample precedent for the severe rebuke he administered on the occasion to Mr. Norris. No doubt intimate relationship between the bench and the bar may occasionally give rise to feelings of complaint, and even to scandal, but at the present time it is not difficult to find in the superior courts examples of sons appearing to practise before their fathers, without a shadow of suspicion upon either father or son. The Bristol case, which has suggested these remarks, appears to have been complicated by other unpleasant features to which we do not care to refer more particularly.

within the rule which forbids trustees, solicitors, &c., from making a valid purchase of estates in respect of which they have duties to perform. Certainly a judge who would take advantage of his authority to mend the title to his own estates, or who would approve a sale as beneficial to the parties interested, because he was himself the purchaser, would go far to justify some of the severe language of Bentham upon the character of the class. It does not, however, by any means follow that the law can generally apply to the conduct of judges and its consequences the same rule which is applied to persons in positions of private trust. In the necessity of things, those who sit on the bench must constantly have private interests capable of being affected by the issue of the matters before them. Scandal has before now murmured with things about English judges their pockets full of railway shares, administering law upon railway companies' obligations and defaults. We trust, however, that it will not be found necessary either in England or America for the courts to keep the same jealous eye upon their own members, as they profess to hold over solicitors and trustees. Till that is necessary we perhaps need not alter our text-books in the mode suggested by the Californian tribunal.

IT IS SOMETIMES SAID that our law reformers are in the habit of flying too high. In the moral world it may perhaps be better to aim at great things and fail, than to aim at little things and succeed. Hardly so in the practical world. The Thelluson Act occupies a little nook of law in which ordinary persons would be welcome some reform. A will is, disposed to we believe, being administered at this very time by which the income is directed to be accumulated for twenty-one years from the testator's death, there being no minority; and the tenant for life is a man whose years must be prolonged considerably beyond the allotted span of life if he is to enjoy any benefit from his life interest. There seems no good reason why the liberty left by the Act should not be considerably curtailed, except with regard to periods of minority. We apprehend that the licence to direct accumulation for the full absolute period is seldom used except as an instrument of caprice; and much could probably be said on grounds of public policy against the law which permits it.

AN ENTERPRISING CONTEMPORARY has tapped a new fund of interest since the rising of the courts by pre

senting its readers with reports of the forensic transactions of feathered bipeds. Some very interesting narratives of "Trial by Rooks" appeared lately in the Daily Telegraph. We make no doubt they were authentic. Jackdaws we have heard on good authority compared in their habits to bishops; and bishops were the first chancellors. We have also seen a story of the instinct of justice possessed by a carrion crow, which, driven from a desirable carcase by the lord of birds, flew straight to the eagle's nest and eat the eggs. Crows are not, like rooks, political creatures; but they are near kinsmen; and we are not at all surprised that the capacity for legal conceptions, apparent though rudimentary in the former, should, in a society of rooks, boasting an ancient civilization, have developed the formalities of a court of justice. Unfortunately for a public which sadly misses its daily law report, the Telegraph's special information on this interesting subject soon came to an end. Perhaps the long vacation is observed in the rook community; perhaps (as in some august human assemblies) reporters are not allowed, and the usher of the court removed our contemporary's representatives. At any rate, lovers of the newspaper reports of judicial proceedings have been thrown back, as in former years, upon the paltry record of the police courts; and if it is long vacation in the rookeries, we are sadly afraid that when their courts meet again we shall all be too much occupied to attend them.

LOANS TO REVERSIONERS.

Two cases in which Mr. Justice Denman gave judgment on the last day of the Trinity Sittings serve to further illustrate the mode in which a court of equity will deal with those persons who advance money to young men just entering on life. It cannot be disputed that there is a class of persons who, knowing the views which are held by those who occupy what is well understood when described as "a good position in life," advance money to members of a family in such a position in the hope and sure expectation that the fear of, or distaste for, the exposure caused by bankruptcy proceedings will insure the repayment of such advances, together with whatever interest, however extortionate, may be demanded, or the exigencies of his want of means may have induced the borrower to agree to pay. It has always been the policy of courts of equity to prevent lenders from taking advantage of unconscionable and hard bargains made with "expectant heirs," but at the same time the cases show that, in order that the borrower should get the benefit of this jurisdiction, there must be something besides the mere trading on the necessities of those who require advances. The two cases we refer to are those of Nevill v. Snelling, and Daniels v. Beresford.

In the first case the borrower was plaintiff and brought his action to set aside certain securities for money lent at forty per cent. interest to a younger son. Now, it must be admitted that if one man of full age agrees to lend another man of full age a sum of money at ever so an exorbitant rate of interest there ought to be, and, in fact is, no law to interfere with the freedom with which they may contract. Where, however, the borrower is in necessitous straits for want of money, and has expectations, a court of equity will not permit the lender to trade upon those expectations by lending with the notion that he may be able to squeeze repayment of loans and inordinate interest from the relations of the borIn Nevill v. Snelling the defendant, who was the moneylender, admitted that he advanced the money with the intention from the very first of obtaining payment by pressure put on the Marquis of Abergavenny, the father of the plaintiff, or other relation of the plaintiff, by means of proceedings in bankruptcy. In the estimation of the learned judge this admission put the defendant out of court, and he gave judgment for the plaintiff, deciding that the security was only to stand for the

rower.

sum advanced with interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum.

The second case, Daniels v. Beresford, was one in which the plaintiff was the lender, and sought to enforce his security against the borrower. In this case also the interest was as in the previous case, at the high rate of forty per cent., and the borrower, though aged twentyIt was, however, proved five, was entitled to a reversion. to the satisfaction of the judge that the money was not advanced on the faith of the borrower's expectations, but on the faith of the solvency and business position of the borrower's brother, who became surety for him. The learned judge in this case refused to set aside this transaction, simply on the ground that the interest was at a high rate, added to the fact that the defendant had expectations, and he gave judgment for the plaintiff accordingly.

These two cases indicate plainly the grounds, or at any rate, an important ground, on which a court of equity will interfere to set aside a money-lending contract with an expectant heir or reversioner, where relief is sought from the consequences of a transaction such as is above described.

If the borrower, with his eyes open, enters into a contract to pay a rate of interest, however extortionate, it is not enough for him to show that he has "expectations," either actual or contingent. It is not enough that the interest is high, or that it is beyond what might have been paid had the loan been procured elsewhere. This will not entitle the borrower to relief. Where, however, the lender, having no expectation that the borrower will ever, from his own resources, be able to repay the loan and the interest, looks to pressure which he may, by legal or other process, bring to bear on the relations, or family connections of the borrower, to get what is agreed to be paid, and does not depend solely on the actual means of the borrower for repayment, relief may be obtained against him. The name of "moneylender" is one to which some odium is attached, and against which there is a general prejudice, but it cannot be denied that a person whose business it is to advance money to those who need it at whatever rate of interest may be of service to those who need his aid. To him the price of money is the interest he can get for it, and it is not because on a risky security he asks a high rate that he is to be condemned, and his contract set aside. It is the over-reaching and the species of fraud implied in his advancing money to one person in order that he may, by improper pressure on another, obtain payment which the courts of equity set their face against. As was said by Lord Justice Mellish in Earl of Aylesford v. Morris (21 W. R. 424), "It is the relative position of the contracting parties which determines the court whether it will interfere between them. Youth, inexperience, and the necessity of secrecy, and of foregoing the advice of relatives and friends, and the family lawyer, plainly give the astute man of business many points in the game, and where the result of the connection between the spendthrift and the money-lender is a bargain extortionate on the face of it, the court presumes that the power which circumstances gave the lender over the mind and will of the borrower was taken unfair advantage of for the benefit of the person possessing it. In technical language this is a presumption of fraud.'" does not, however, look with favour upon the borrower in such a case, and, in Earl of Aylesford v. Morris, the plaintiff who got relief had to pay his own costs.
