WILL--UNFINISHED DOCUMENT-A testator, resident in Lower Canada, being dangerously ill, sent for a notary for the purpose of making his will. In the presence of the notary and witnesses, the testator stated what he wished to be the provisions in his will. The notary began to write out the will in accordance with these instructions, but, before he had written some of the bequests and the appointment of executors, the testator died without signing the unfinished document. appellant, a legacy to whom was contained in the written document, presented a petition to the Superior Court, praying for probate of the will as contained in this document. In these proceedings the heir was cited and appeared, and the court granted probate. The appellant then brought and succeeded in an action in the Superior Court to recover the legacy and costs, but on an appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench the decision of the Superior Court was reversed: Held (reversing the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, Lower Canada), first, that according to the uninterrupted practice and usage of the Canadian Courts since 1801, the grant of probate was not conclusive, but it was competent to the respondent to impugn the validity of the will as a defence to the action brought by the appellant; secondly, that the paper containing the instructions written out by the notary was entitled to probate, since it was good as a will by the law of England prior to the last Wills Act, and therefore valid by the law of Canada: (see 14 Geo. 3, c. 83); thirdly, that oral evidence was admissible to prove that the document contained an expression of the testamentary intentions of the testator: (Migneault v. Malo, 26 L. T. Rep. N. S. 329. Priv. Co.) LESSOR AND LESSEE SUCCESSIVE ASSIGNMENTS OF LEASE-BREACH OF COVENANTLIABILITY OF REMOTE ASSIGNEE TO INDEMNIFY ORIGINAL LESSEE AGAINST BREACH. Where breaches of the covenants in a lease have been committed by an ultimate assignee by mesne assignments, and the original lessee has had to pay damages in respect thereof to the original lessor, such assignee is bound to indemnify the original lessee against such breaches as were committed during the time he was in possession, withstanding that he may have covenanted with his immediate assignor to indemnify him in respect of the covenants in the original lease. The plaintiff, being lessee of premises under a lease for years, with a covenant to repair, assigned the term to B., who subsequently assigned it to the defendants, the indenture of assignment in each case containing express covenants by the respective assignees, with their respective immediate assignors, to indemnify them against all subsequent breaches of covenant. The defendants, during the time they were in possession, committed breaches of the covenant to repair, and then assigned over to another person. The plaintiff, having been compelled in an action on his covenant, brought against him by the lessor's representatives, to pay damages in respect of such breaches, brought an action to recover over, as upon an indemnity, those damages against the defendants, in which it was held by Channell and Pigott, BB. (Cleasby, B. dissentiente), that he was entitled to recover them. The defendant thereupon brought error, and it was held by the Court of Exchequer Chamber (Cockburn, C.J., and Willes, Blackburn, Mellor, Brett, and Grove, JJ., affirming the judgment of the majority of the court below, and upon the same ground), that the plaintiff was entitled to maintain the action, and to recover from the defendants the damages which he had so had to pay, on the ground of privity of contract, and that the relation of principal and surety existed between the lessee and a subsequent assignee of the lease, whether immediate or remote: (Moule v. Garrett, 26 L. T. Rep. N.S. 367. Ex. Ch.) MERCANTILE LAW. NOTES OF NEW DECISIONS. VENDOR AND PURCHASER-MARINE CONTRACT -RECEIPT OF BILLS OF LADING.-By an agree ment in writing between the plaintiffs (therein described as "vendors "), and the defendant therein described as "purchaser," the vendors agreed to ship on board a vessel a cargo of fresh water ice, "to be dispatched with all speed to any ordered port in the United Kingdom, the vendors forwarding bills of lading to the purchaser; and upon receipt thereof, the purchaser takes upon himself all the risks and dangers of the seas, &c., and the defendant agrees to buy and receive the said ice on its arrival at ordered port, and to pay for it in cash on delivery at the rate of 20s. per ton, weighed on board during delivery." The ice having been duly shipped and dispatched, and the bill of lading forwarded to, and received by, the defendant, the vessel and cargo were subsequently lost on the voyage by risks and dangers of the seas within the meaning of the above agreement. The plaintiffs, having, therefore, brought an action against the defendant to recover the value of the cargo, it was held on demurrer by the majority of the Court of Exchequer (Martin and Channell, BB., dissentiente, Cleasby, B.), giving judgment for the defendant, that the contract was not one of insurance but of purchase, and that under its terms, the arrival of the cargo, and ascertainment of its weight during delivery, were conditions precedent to the defendant's liability to pay the price or value of it, and that the clause relating to" the risks and dangers of the seas," &c., was to save the plaintiffs from liability, in case of loss before arrival, to an action for non-delivery. But Cleasby, B. held that, on receipt of the bill of lading, the property passed to the defendant as purchaser, and the cargo was then at his risk, and insurable by him, and that a good cause of action was disclosed by the declaration. The plaintiffs having brought error, and also appealed from that deci sion, it was held by the court of error (Cockburn, C. J., and Willes, Blackburn, Mellor, Brett, and Grove, JJ.) reversing the decision of the majority of the court below, that, whether or not the property in the cargo passed to the defendant on the receipt of the bills of lading (which the court said it was not necessary to decide, though they strongly inclined to hold that it did pass with all its risks), yet that the defendant, the purchaser having agreed to take upon himself all the risks and dangers of the seas," &c., from the time he received the bill of lading, was liable to pay for the cargo according to a certain rate; and if, meantime it perished through the perils of the seas, to pay for it according to a fair estimate of its value at the time it went down: (Castle and others v.

One of the affidavits recited in the warrant had not been sworn: Held, that, as the judgment of the court was partly founded on the informal affidavit, the warrant was bad, and the debtor must therefore be discharged: (Ex parte Heyman; re Heyman, 26 L.

Warrants of execution from the County Court operate upon the goods of the debtor from the moment when granted by the registrar, and the execution creditor is entitled as against the holder of a bill of sale subsequently executed. Rainford for the claimant. Edelston for execution creditor. His HONOUR.-This is a case of interpleader which was heard at the last court, and on which I reserved my judgment. The case depended on the construction of an Act of Parliament. The facts necessary for the decision of the case were not in dispute and may be briefly mentioned. The plaintiff recovered judgment in the action in the County Court against J. Bailey, and on the 1st March last he applied to the registrar to issue a warrant against the goods of J. Bailey. The warrant was issued and delivered to the high bailiff on the same day, and on the 5th March last the defendant, J. Bailey, by bill of sale assigned the goods in question to his father, the claimant, to secure the sum of £48 103., then due to him from the defendant. The bill of sale was afterwards duly registered. On the 13th March last the high bailiff seized the goods in question under the warrant. They were claimed by Martin Bailey and by arrangement they have been sold, and the proceeds have been paid into court to abide the decision under the interpleader. At the hearing the claimant was examined, and I come to the conclusion that he held the bill of sale and was a purchaser of the goods in question the debt due to him from the defendant, bona fide, and for a valuable consideration, viz., and it was not proved or suggested that he had notice of the delivery of the warrant to the high bailiff when he acquired such title. If, therefore, the 1st section of the Mercantile Amendment Act, hereafter stated, had applied to the case, I should have thought the claimant's title clear. But it was argued that that Act does not so apply, and I am of that opinion. By the Act in question, 19 & 20 Vict. c. 97, s. 1, it is enacted that "No writ of fieri facias or other writ of execution, and no writ of attachment against the goods of a debtor, shall prejudice the title to such goods acquired by any person bona fide, and for valuable consideration before the actual seizure or attachment thereof by virtue of such writ. Provided such person had not, at the time when he acquired such title, notice that such writ or such owner might be seized or attached had been any other writ by virtue of which the goods of delivered to and remained unexecuted in the hands of the sheriff, undersheriff, or coroner." Now if that Act, on the construction of which the ques tion before me depends, is to be construed according to its liberal signification, I have no hesita tion in saying that it does not apply to executions issuing from the County Courts. The enacting part is certainly general and embraces all executions, yet the proviso as I read it is explanatory of the enacting part and virtually confines it to writs delivered to the sheriff, for the other officers named are merely his substitutes. To say that the enacting part applies to executions from the County Courts, while the proviso does not, would be to make notice of a warrant of execution of no consequence in such case whilst it would be of vital importance when the proceedings were in the Superior Courts. The difficulty is, whether the word "sheriff" in the section is to be construed according to the ordinary meaning, or is to be considered as having been put by way of example, and to be extended to all officers having the execution of writs of execution, such as the high bailiff of the County Courts. Unquestionably there are cases to be found in the old reports in which, to meet the mischiefs provided against, the words of a statute have been "taken by equity " and extended to other matters than those named. The well-known cases, where a statute which referred to the Bishop of Norwich by name, was extended to all bishops (2 Inst. 487), and in which the statute Ric. 2, which referred only to the warden of the fleet, was extended to all gaolers (Platt v. Sheriff of London, Plow. 36) are instances of this assumed power of amendment. But the inclination of the judges in modern times has been to adhere as closely as possible to the words of the statute: (see Yates v. Hall, 1 T. R. 72, cited by Lord Abinger; Lane v. Bennett, 1 M. & W. 73; Brandling v. Barrington, 6 B. & C. 467). And I certainly should hesitate long before I assumed the power to extend the words of so modern an Act as the one under consideration. In addition to this difficulty there is another arising from the statute itself. The power to amend an Act of Parliament by a court of law can only be justified on the assumption that the intention of the Legislature will be carried out by the extension of the words, but here there are indications of an intention on the part of the Legislature that the first section of the Mercantile Law Amendment Act shall not extend to executions from the County Courts. In the first place that Act, 19 & 20 Vict. c. 97, and the Act 19 & 20 Vict. c. 108, "to amend the Acts relating to the County Courts," were enacted at the same time, and received the Royal assent on the same day. May it not be said that the omission of all reference to the process of the County Courts in the first section of the first named Act, was not altogether unintentional? This question becomes more important when the difference between the binding effect of writs from the Superior Courts and warrants from the County Courts pointed at in the two statutes is considered. By the previous County Court Act (9 & 10 Vict. c. 95), s. 94, the registrar, at the request of the party prosecuting, is to issue under the seal of the court a fieri facias against the goods of the defendant. Now I apprehend that by the issue of such a writ from the County Courts the goods of the defendant would be at once bound, so that no subsequent sale of them would be available against the execution creditor. It was an undoubted rule of the common law from very early times that the issue of a writ of execu tion had that effect, and in the reign of Elizabeth it was ruled that the goods were bound even in the hands of a purchaser: (Anon. Cro. Eliz. 174; Boucher v. Wiseman, Cro. Eliz. 440, Com. Dig. Execution D. 2.) The statute above referred to, 19 & 20 Vict. c. 108, refers to this rule, and evidently for the purpose of making the time of the application for a warrant out of the County Court the more easily ascertainable, it directs by sect. 46 that the precise time of the application to the registrar should be entered on the warrant, and by sect. 47 in conflict between writs from the Courts the right to the goods shall be determined Superior Courts and warrants from the County by the priority in point of time of the delivery of the writ to the sheriff, and of the application to the registrar for the warrant. In the County Courts, therefore, the goods are bound from the application to the registrar, but in the Superior Courts the case is, and has been for a long time, very different. The hardship to parties caused by the common law relation of the writ of execu tion to its issue before noticed, was in the reign of Charles II. much lessened in proceeding in those courts. By the Statute of Frauds (29 Car. 2, c. 3), s. 16, it was enacted that no writ of fieri jacias or other writ of execution should bind the goods, but from the delivery of the writ to the sheriff, undersheriff, or coroner. On comparing that statute and the 1st section of the Mercantile Law Amendment Act together, it is evident that the latter statute Superior Courts have their binding effect, and in points to the event from which the writs in the my opinion it seems extremely difficult to say that the Legislature could have intended the words in that section to apply to warrants from the 80 County Courts, the binding effect of which occurs at a different period in the suit. And I may further remark that the 2nd section of the Mercantile Law Amendment Act shows strongly that the Legislature, in passing that Act, intended that the word sheriff should be construed according to its ordinary meaning. By that section certain powers are given in actions in the Superior Courts at Westminster, or in any Court of Record in England, &c., and to enforce such powers it is enacted that "the sheriff, or other officer of such Court of Record," should distrain, &c. Under these circumstances, I feel that I should not be justified in extending the terms used in the statute in question to the high bailiff of the County Courts. In my opinion, therefore, the section in question does not apply to executions from these courts, and as the goods were bound before the bill of sale was executed, the execution creditor has priority over the claimant, and the claim must be disallowed. LEGAL NEWS. Mr. JUSTICE LOCH, of the Calcutta bench, left India "for good" on the 11th of April, after a service of nearly forty years. THE judges of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, in revising the new code of laws for the district, have ordered the word " 'male," in connection with admissions to the bar, to be stricken out, thus opening the way for women to practice in the local courts.

On Friday the Whitsuntide Chancery vacation commences, and will terminate on the 21st inst., the day before Trinity Term. PRIVILEGES OF SOLICITORS. Among the gentlemen summoned to serve on the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court on Monday morning was Mr. Edward Thompson, a solicitor, who claimed exemption on the ground of his professional occupation. The court told him that although he was legally exempted from serving by reason of his being a solicitor in practice, still as he had allowed his name to appear in the jury iist, the court had no power to relieve him from serving. It was the duty of every one liable to be summoned under the new jury law to take care if he was exempt that his name was expunged from the list, for if once the name was placed on the list he was bound to serve. Mr. Thompson was accordingly sworn upon the grand jury. PECULIARITIES OF THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE LAW.-An action has been raised in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, at the instance of Mrs. Robertson, the wife of Henry Robertson, of the 7th Hussars, at Aldershott, with the view of establishing her status and rights as the widow of Major Steuart, of Murthly, and as the mother of the boy, the alleged heir, who lately died. She has brought the summons in her own and her present husband's name, and it is directed against Sir Archibald Douglas Steuart, the present heir of entail, and also against Franc Nichols Steuart, the late Sir William Drummond Steuart's alleged executor. The pursuers maintain that payment should be made to them by the defender, Sir Archibald Douglas Steuart, of the sum of £6666. 13s. 4d., or £20,000 sterling, "being respectively the third part of or the whole of his intromissions with said movable estate or effects,' " and the defender the said Franc Nichols, or Franc Nichols Steuart, of the sum of £2000 or £6000 sterling, "being respectively the third of or the whole of said estate and effects intromitted with by him." In the condescendence, the pursuer, Mrs. Robertson, states that she is the daughter of Mr. Wilson, fishing-rod and tackle manufacturer, Edinburgh. Most of the facts given are the same as those stated in the previous action. The account of the marriage as related in the present case is as follows:-" Major Steuart, determined to enter into a private contract of marriage with the pursuer in her father's house, and this resolution was carried out on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1866. On the afternoon of that day he caused the pursuer to put on a black silk dress, which she had received from him in a present, to have her hair dressed by a hairdresser, and otherwise be prepared for her wedding. Supper was then served up in the sitting room; and when it was over, and in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, the pursuer's brother George, and Mrs. Kellot, Major Steuart filled the wine-glasses all round. He then went down on his knees, and for the purpose of carrying through a marriage between him. self and the pursuer, he said to the pursuer :Maggie, will you be my wife.' The pursuer replied Yes;' and then and there accepted Major Steuart as her husband, and they became married persons. He then took a plain gold marriage ring from his vest pocket, and placed it on the third finger of her left hand, after which he held up his right hand, and while still on his knees said:-'I swear by the Almighty God that I take you for my wife." The health of the married couple was proposed by Mr. Wilson, and drunk by all present. On the same occasion he stated that the marriage was not to be made public till he had money. Afterwards the couple were bedded after the old Scotch fashion, and stockings, pillows, and other articles thrown at them. After the marriage they continued to live in Mr. Wilson's house, and were held and acknowledged by him and his wife, and all the other members of the household, as well as by their friends, neighbours, and acquaintances, as married persons, and they behaved to each other as such." The hearing of proof in the action, Steuart v. Padwick, concluded on Friday. Lord Mackenzie took the case to avizandum. LAW STUDENTS' JOURNAL. NAMES OF GENTLEMEN WHO PASSED Adam, B. Addington.

The custom of the country is that both employees and employers in such services give a month's notice. No special contract was made between A. and B. on that point. A. worked several months for B., and was always paid monthly. A. left B.'s service in the middle of a month without having given or received notice and without just cause, and has now sued B. for his services for the portion of the month. Can A. recover? he being an infant is he bound to work out his month before he can claim payment? Is there D. any case on the point? 5. SOLICITOR'S LIEN FOR COSTS.-At a late County Court A. sued B. for damages for upwards of £20, but recovered only £10. A garnishee summons has been issued by a judgment creditor of A. in respect of the sum so recovered. By sect. 28 of 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, plaintiff's attorney has a lien on the fund recovered through his exertions, and the judge may make such order for taxation of and for payment of such costs out of the said property as to him shall appear just and proper. Ought the judge to give the attorney costs on the higher or lower scale, or is it optional with him? Answer in your next issue for use at an ensuing County Court will oblige A PRACTITIONER. 6. TRUSTEES' AND MORTGAGEES' ACT.-Will any of your correspondents kindly favour me with his opinion on the following point, viz.: Whether the powers given to trustees and mortgagees and others by 23 & 24 Vict. c. 145 (commonly known as Lord Cranworth's Act), can be brought in aid of defective powers (e.g., a defective power to appoint new trustees) contained in any deed, will, or other instrument executed after the passing of the Act, in cases where there is no reference to the Act in the instrument containing such defective powers. J. P. 7. EXERCISE of Powers by NEW TRUSTEES.-A voluntary settlement of real estate made in the year 1846 contains a proviso "that if either of the said trustees therein mentioned should happen to die, or be desirous of being discharged from the trusts hereby in them re posed at any time before the same trusts shall be fully performed, then it shall be lawful for the said A. B. (one of settlors), during her lifetime, and for the said C. B. (another of settlors), after her decease, to elect and appoint some other fit person or persons, to be a trustee or trustees for the purposes aforesaid, instead of the trustees, parties thereto, or such of the.n as should happen to die, or be desirous of being discharged from the said trusts, and so from time to time as often as the case should happen during the continuance of the said trusts, and that when and so soon as any new trustee or trustees shall be elected and appointed for the purposes aforesaid, all and every the said hereditaments and premises, and the securities of the same, or the stocks or funds whereon the same shall be then invested, shall with all convenient speed be conveyed, assigned, and transferred So and in such manner as that the same shall become legally and effectually vested in the joint names of the surviving or continuing trustee, if there be any such, and of such new elected trustee or trustees, or if there be no such surviving or continuing trustee then in the name or joint names of CALLS TO THE BAR.-Erratum:-For "Saxon" such new elected trustee or trustees, but, nevertheread "Saxton." NOTES AND QUERIES ON NOTICE.-We must remind our correspondents that this Queries. 1. MORTGAGE-STAMP.-X. mortgaged to M. for £400. X. conveyed equity of redemption to V., who, after paying £100 off the mortgage, sells to P. M. is made a party to the conveyance from V. to P., in order which M. does merely in a recital. P. enters into a to admit that mortgage money is reduced to £300, fresh covenant with M. to pay the £300 and interest. This deed is of course liable to ad valorem stamp as a conveyance. Is it also liable to 7s. 6d. as a fresh bond for £300? Is it also liable to 64. further as a release of £100 ?, M. 2. INTESTACY-DISTRIBUTION.-A., possessed of personalty only, by his will, gives a specific legacy to his daughter B., confirms the sum covenanted to be paid to his daughter C. by her marriage settlement, gives specific legacies to his daughters D. and E., and G. and H. He then disposes of the residue to his wife nominal legacies to his daughter F., and to his two sons for her life and after her death; as to three-fourths thereof to bis said three daughters B., D., and E. absojutely in equal shares, and as to the remaining one. fourth to be disposed according to a codicil to his will his wife, and B., C., D., E., F., G., and H. (who conannexed. A. dies without revoking this will, leaving stitute all his family) surviving him. No codicil is found, and it is therefore presumed intestacy arises as to one less, upon the trusts aforesaid, or such and so many of them as shall be then existing undetermined or capable of taking effect." The settlement referred to also contains a power of sale to the trustees thereby appointed and "the survivor of them and the heirs of such survivor." The original trustees have both retired from the trust, and new trustees have been duly ap pointed in their stead and the trust property conveyed to them upon the trusts, &c., of the settlement. It will be observed that the power to appoint new trustees does not state that they shall be competent to exercise the powers and discretions given to the original trustees, or words to the like effect, and a question seems, therefore, to arise whether in the absence of such words the new trustees appointed under the above clause, can exercise the power of sale, such a power being a mere discretion as distinguished from a trust for sale. G. H. B. Answers. (Q. 141.) ARTICLES.-An Edinburgh University student of two years' standing, is not entitled to be admitted an attorney after three years' service under articles. Sect 2 of 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, is so worded as even to deny this privilege to those students, who, before the changes made in the University some years ago, followed the course, very common at that time, of attending the full four years' curriculum without taking the M.A. degree; although these gentlemen are de jure members of the University. In some cases hardship has been inflicted by the stringency of the Attorneys' Act in this respect. G. S. G. (Q. 145.)

LAW SOCIETIES. LAW ASSOCIATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF WIDOWS AND FAMILIES AT the usual monthly meeting of the directors, NORWICH LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. THIS Society celebrated the close of its first session by a dinner, which was held at the Royal Hotel on Thursday evening, 2nd May. There were several solicitors present; Mr. J. W. Sparrow occupying the chair, and Mr. I. O. Howard Taylor the vice-chair. After the cloth had been withdrawn, the chairman proposed the usual loyal toasts which were well received. The vice-chairman was then called upon to propose the health of the Lord Chancellor, Her Majesty's judges, and the legal Profession, which he did in an exceedingly humorous and clever speech. In giving the toast of the evening, "Success to the Norwich Law Students' Society," the chairman dwelt at considerable length upon the many advantages to be derived from it. He felt sure that when its objects were more generally known, the Profession in Norwich would become sensible of the benefits likely to arise from them, and would render the society their hearty cooperation and support. He considered that it was incumbent upon all members of the Profession to encourage the articled clerks in so laudable an undertaking. In concluding his remarks, he said it had given him great pleasure to be present, and he heartily wished success to the society, and hoped that the second year of its existence would prove even more fruitful of good results than the first. The position which gentlemen of the legal profession Mr. Wilson M. Roche, a member of the Norwich Mr. W. R. Cooper responded, as secretary and treasurer; Mr. J. H. Flower, on behalf of the committee; and Mr. Meachen, B.A., as auditor. A vote of thanks to the chairman and vicechairman, proposed by Mr. W. H. Woods, to which both gentlemen appropriately replied, HILL, JAMES, agent for the sale of agricultural implements, brought an exceedingly pleasant evening to a close. THE COURTS & COURT PAPERS.

A very marked improvement had taken place in the speaking powers of many of the members, although the meetings had necessarily been few, and he felt confident that if the Profession would render assistance in furthering the objects of the society, that it could not fail to become eminently prosperous.

MEDICINAL EFFICACY.-Daily experience confirms the testimony borne to the benefits effected by Hollo way's remedies, in all descriptions of diseases which can assail mankind, either at home or abroad. In cases of glandular and other complaints arising from hereditary taints, the use of these healing and purifying remedies is always followed by the most gratifying results. The Ointment must be well rubbed upon the skin as near as possible to the aching or ailing part, and the pills should be taken every night in alterative rather than in purgative doses. These excellant medicaments will then act in unison, quell the local mischief, re-establish order and purity through the system and spare unmerited suffering or untimely death. |
