and alleged adultery were all in Ireland. I concur doubtingly in the conclusion of my brother judges as to the petitioner not being entitled to sue here, as the result of balancing authorities in England, but on the point of the comparative importance of husband's domicile and of the extreme reluctance which we should have in decreeing a dissolution here which would not be recognised in England, I think their language is stronger than that of the English judges. There is another consideration in this case, whether the Court should regard the objection of domicile, the respondent not urging it. In Lolley's case, he had appeared in the Scotch Court and submitted to the jurisdiction, yet it was held that his marriage remained binding in England, and if the subject is regarded as one of international right, courts should not assume jurisdiction over foreigners, even by consent, or if in any way the fact is brought to their notice. But in several cases the English courts, because there was a submission to their jurisdiction, have entertained suits, and even where the respondents protested against the jurisdiction, and clearly brought the fact of foreign domicile under their notice, have proceeded, because the objection was not presented in proper manner or time. Zyckinski v. Zyckinski, 2 Sw. & Tris., 420; Foster v. Foster, 3 id., 144, 151, 158. However, in Burton v. Burton, 21 W.R., the Court in an undefended case took the objection that the respondent husband was not domiciled in England, and we, I suppose, should do the same. It is hard that the petitioner after such trouble and expense should be frustrated, but if he means to live in England it may be better for him to be put to a new proceeding rather than act upon a decree of this Court, which might there be deemed ineffectual. Petition dismissed.

THE LATE SIR EDWARD CREASY.

It seems but the other day that we were hailing in his “First Platform of International Law," a proof of the freshness of mind which the late Chief Justice of Ceylon had brought home to the old country, and now, while the sheets of our current number were passing through the press, Sir Edward Creasy has gone from among us. Our first personal intercourse with him arose through his tenure of the Presidential Chair of the Jurisprudence Department at the Congress of the Social Science Association, held in his native town of Brighton in 1875, on which occasion we published his address in our November number of that year. After this date, the name of Sir Edward became familiar to our readers. His very last communication to us, dated at Hampton Wick, on the 16th inst., announced his approaching arrival in London. Anticipating a halt in town for about a month, Sir Edward proceeded to say, "I hope then to become a Metic for some considerable time at Bonn, or Leipsic, or Geneva. If so, I shall continue my studies and publications; and I should like much to keep up a connection with the Law Magazine and Review." An Eton boy, then a Scholar and Fellow of King's, Cambridge, the classical side of Sir Edward's character was ever very near the surface. The wealth of quotation, and aptness of illustration, which were the fruit of his early associa
