lawyers may be men of stainless honour and of spotless BENTLEY, JOHN, boot and shoe maker, North-st, Three Coit-la,
purity of mind. They may be also men of the
greatest and highest cultivation, and it is much for
the interests of the country that so they should be.
Gentlemen, to you-not perhaps at this moment,
but by-and-by when you become attorneys
you more than any class of men in the world it
belongs to help in clearing away this prejudice, and
if you agree with me, I hope that you will steadfastly
resolve to do it, and that what you have resolved
you will steadfastly do. It is not perhaps much that
any one of us can do in ourselves, but the result of
the efforts of each of us, if each of us does his best,
will be by no means contemptible. And, gentlemen,
what nobler object can be presented to any man to
perform than to aid in wiping off stains which at
present dim the fame and the honour of a great
Profession-founded in the necessities of human
nature, consecrated by many a memory of tyranny
resisted, of innocence protected, of justice vindi-
cated, and containing amongst its members a roll
of great and good men whose names and whose,
works were the glory of their own time and have been
the delight of the ages that have followed. (Loud
applause.)

The learned gentleman then announced that the

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

says Virgil in a well-known passage. That is, so
far as a man's nature admits of it, he should aim at
being an immortal god. Aristotle expresses the
same idea at the conclusion of the Ethics, and the
Christian Church has put this thought in that sub-
lime aspiration, Sursum corda-lift up your hearts-
and in proportion as you feel these responsibilities
and act upon these responsibilities, so do you
purify and elevate the character of our common
profession. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, in pro-
portion as you forget these responsibilities and for-
get to act upon them, and in proportion as you pour
out your favour upon such specimens of low-bred
vulgarity and utter want of honesty, and vanity and
insolence and ignorance, as seldom, it is true, but too
often, and even from time to time in my recollec-
tion, have flourished like bay trees in our courts,
you degrade and dishonour the common profession
to which we belong. Gentlemen, do not let me
be misunderstood. Don't let me be supposed to
say that it is to purely classical education, or to what
is commonly called learning that I look as the
only method of education, or that if a man does
not happen to have had a scholastic education
that he is necessarily uneducated. I do not think
anything so foolish or narrow-minded. I am per-
fectly aware that a man who has had the great
advantage of a public school or university educa-
tion is extremely apt to overrate the advantages
he has received and to fancy there can be no
other possible way of deriving the same
vantages he is conscious he has derived, or at all
events that, if there are other ways of deriving them,
they may be derived in less measure. It is certainly
true that such an education as I have mentioned has
certain positive advantages, and has amongst others
this advantage, that its benefits are in a manner
forced upon those submitted to the process, whether
they will or no. But of course I do not mean to
say that there is no other way of cultivating the
mind, nor do I mean to say that any other real culti-petition in which they submitted that no relief
vation of the mind is by any high-minded man to
be undervalued. If it were otherwise, it would
follow that, as a public school and University course
is to be met with only in England, that only in
England and amongst English gentlemen can

Mr. PATRICK W. DRUMMOND (Messrs. Drummond, Robinson, and Till) opened the debate on this subject by moving the resolution as follows:"That the responsibility for any libellous matter contained in a correctly quoted paragraph (when the authority is given) or in an accurate report of a public meeting, should not (unless malice in fact be proved) rest with the proprietor, printer, or publisher of any newspaper or other periodical publica-ARR, CHARLES, late cattledealer, Petersfield.

He proceeded at some length to trace the progress of legislation until 1858, when Lord Campbell brought in a Bill further to amend the law of libel, its chief provision being that a defendant should be entitled to plead no special damage. This, in the opinion of the Newspaper Society, was not enough, and they framed a would be afforded by the Bill. It did not become law. A Bill was now in the hands of Sir Colman O'Loghlen, by which it is proposed that, unless damage shall be sustained by the actual publication of the words, no action shall lie. Mr. Drummond Hornsey-rd, Holloway. My good friend Mr. quoted largely from the proceedings of the Newspaper Society, and he trusted that the meeting would, by their unanimous vote in favour of the resolution, urge upon Parliament the necessity for some legislative protection being afforded to the publishers of reports of public meetings, and other matters specified in the resolution.

Matthew Arnold, indeed, is of opinion that there is no country in Europe in which the mass so uncultivated as in this unhappy country-no people, as he says, so devoid of geist as the people of this country. But to Englishmen generally such a notion is wholly unfounded. I supose that Burns was no scholar, but he was a man of thorough cultivation of mind. Lord Erskine and Mr. Burke would have been a good deal at sea in their Greek and Latin, yet there never was a man of more cultivation of mind than those two illustrious persons. I do not choose to mention living men, but to most or many of us many living persons will occur who are eminent examples of the truth of what I am now saying. All I insist upon is that there should be some cultivation, whether by observation of nature, or by study of difficult and abstruse science, or by literature or scholarship -and scholarship in its most common sense only as one amongst a number of meansthat by some such means every man who has a sense of what is due from him to God who has given him his mind, should cultivate, as he can

The motion was opposed by Mr. JOHN RICHARD COLLINS (Clifford's-inn prizeman), who remarked, amongst other things, that an action for libel may be brought within six years, for slander within two. A person perpetrating a slander would, if the resolution became law, and if the matter were published, be liable to all the incidents of libel.

should never forget in the duties of a lawyer the
larger and more extended duties of a man and a
citizen. And, gentlemen, I think that every man
who is proud of his profession and delights in the
exercise of it will admit the common sense and
justness and truth of what I am venturing to
advise. In every society, in every assembly in this
country, a sneer at the capacity, the vanity, the
disputatiousness, the unscrupulousness of men of
our profession is certain to meet with a too ready
acceptation. I am well aware-no man more
-how shallow, how ignorant, how ill-bred,
a great deal of this is. But, nevertheless,
fear it must be admitted that there is
ground of truth at the bottom of it, for there
almost always is in every impression so deeply
rooted and universal as this. A wise, calm, and
very great man, Mr. Wordsworth, in one of his
most famous poems, has pointed his finger at us
with a fierce scorn which is altogether out of cha-
racter with the ordinary tone of his writings:

A lawyer art thou? come not nigh;
Go carry to some fitter place
The keenness of that practised eye,
The hardness of that sallow face.

To Readers and Correspondents.

WM. MACKAY.-The 4th section of the Act relating to attorneys says, that a managing clerk of ten years standing may, after serving three years under articles, and having been examined, &c, be admitted: (22 & 23 Vict. c. 127; see also Hallilay's Handbook, p. 48.) MR. JOHN IVORY, of Camden-town, has written to reply to our comments upon the police prosecutions. He explains that the "defence fund" originated with gentlemen who sent subscriptions from various parts of the country. We regret to learn this fact. As Mr. Ivory adds that the whole matter will be explained, we deem it unnecessary to occupy space by inserting the letter. All anonymous communications are invariably rejected. All communications must be authenticated by the name but as a guarantee for good faith.

pockets, and form no small item in the amount they have to pay.

This system is so profitable to the aforesaid "harpies" that it is spreading, and creates more serious injury than the uninitiated would believe to be possible.-I am, Sir, A LIQUIDATOR.

The abuse undoubtedly prevails, and it is very discreditable to the Profession. But so long as the law provides facilities for such practices, there will be disreputable men eager to take advantage of them. The remedy is easy. Allow costs out of the estate to the one petition only upon which the winding-up order is ultimately and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, made; and in selecting the petition for that purpose require that the Chief Clerk shall exercise a discretion, and prefer that which establishes its

A curious question of Bar etiquette has grown out of this lamentable prosecution. Mr. COLERIDGE, Q. C., was retained for the prosecution, but not, as it is said, in the proper form, as in the case of Reg. v. Eyre-but in the name of the Prosecutor (whoever he may be) v. Eyre. A retainer was afterwards sent by the defendant in the proper designation of Reg. v. Eyre. Which was operative? The defendants contended that

as Reg. v. Eyre, for in all criminal cases the QUEEN is the prosecutor, and the only prosecutor recognised by the law, and therefore the retainer for Smith (or whoever it was) v. Eyre was no retainer at all in Reg. v. Eyre, and as a consequence that the retainer received for the defendant was good. As is usual in such cases, this doubtful point of professional etiquette was referred to the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who has decided that the retainer for the prosecution was informal and invalid, and therefore that the retainer for the defendant was obligatory. Consequently Mr. COLERIDGE will enjoy the magnificent opportunity for the exercise of his great oratorial gifts in the defence, which opens a much finer field for them. Mr. EDWARD JAMES, Q. C. will now conduct the prosecution.

MORE JUDGES.

IT is rumoured in the Hall that we are to have three more Common Law Judges, an addition of one to each court. So far good. The business of an increased population and an enormously extended commerce has long outgrown the judicial power. Scotland and Ireland have, relatively to their needs, double the supply of Judges possessed by England. The consequences are seen by the Profession in unavoidable haste, compelled references, remanets, and arrears. They are felt more severely by suitors in aggravated delay and multiplied costs.

LEGAL TOPICS OF THE WEEK. THE LORDS JUSTICES have desired the announcement to be made that two sets of papers must reforms required. The talk at Westminster is in all cases be provided for their use.

THE VICE-CHANCELLORS have properly complained of the practice of multiplied winding-up petitions, and the presentation of them in different courts. They now order that all shall be remitted to one court, and if then they would allow the costs of but one of them, a great abuse would be summarily suppressed.

We fear there is too much truth in a complaint preferred by "A Liquidator" in a letter to the Times.

Sir,-You have been lately pointing out some of the defects of the law as regards joint-stock companies.

There is another abuse which for some time has been assuming great dimensions, and is calculated to bring discredit on our equity courts, they being made the instrument of perpetrating it.

A shareholder in some company which is supposed to be in difficulties is caught hold of by a

solicitor ("professional harpy," as you call the class) and induced to lend his name to a petition to windup, he being guaranteed from costs, and perhaps promised a share of the spoil if it succeeds.

But more Judges are a part only of the about partial alterations in two or three of the circuits, mainly by the construction of a new circuit out of the populous county of Lancaster, which is to stand alone, a circuit by itself, and some small shiftings to restore the balance elsewhere.

Any such partial pottering will, however, be wholly insufficient and unsatisfactory. When changing, let us change effectually, and so that for fifty years to come there may be no further need for change. Let the entire scheme be reconstructed so as to meet the altered wants of the country. What the present requirements are, what should be done while we are about it, may be described in a few lines.

Abolish the now unmeaning divisions of terms and vacations. Let there be but two terms and two vacations, viz., at Christmas and Midsummer-the one of three weeks; the other of nine weeks, with adjournments for a week at

Easter and a week at Whitsuntide.

Let there be two assizes yearly as the rule, with a third or intermediate special assize, in certain places where the business will require it, as in the Lancashire circuit. But the periods for taking the circuits should be equalised, To my knowledge this game has been played in and they should be either in January and July, several instances to the great injury of the share-or in February and August. The special interholders, for the costs generally come out of their mediate assizes should be in April and October.

VOL. XLII.-No. 1233.

The Central Criminal Court district should be constituted an assize district, to which two Judges should be commissioned as upon the cirand Westminster, and each court having sittings cuits. Instead of the present sittings in London in its own, there should be one Nisi Prius court for the metropolis. This court should sit if need be, to form a second court for the dismonthly, except during the vacations, with power, patch of business.

town should sit regularly in banco. A single During the circuits the Judges who remain in judge should be always sitting in a practice court. The business now transacted in the Judges' chambers should be dispatched by a master or chief clerk, who might at once refer any difficult question to the Judge in the practice court, and he in his turn should have power to send a difficult question at once into the full court, which, constituted of as many other Judges as may be in town, and not engaged in the metropolitan courts or in the practice court, should sit daily during the assizes, empowered to determine all questions without distinction of the court in which the suit is, precisely as is done at Nisi Prius.

By this simple machinery the entire business of the country may be conducted with infinite benefit to suitors, and with the smallest possible disturbance of professional arrangements.

We should be pleased to receive the comments of our correspondents upon this scheme, and any suggestions for its improvement. It has received the approval of many practitioners to whom we have submitted it, and now we offer it to the scrutiny of the whole Profession. We shall be obliged by their pointing out any weak places they may find in it; for something is about to be done, and it is for the interest of all that whatever is done now should be done thoroughly.

THE FENIAN CONVICTS. Two of the cut-throats and plunderers who without excuse invaded Canada, murdered the unoffending people and destroyed their property, have been very properly condemned to be hanged, and undoubtedly they would be hanged in any other country in the world. But it suits the purposes of rival parties in America to court the votes of the Fenians, so the Government has appealed to our Government for mercy to the condemned rascals. This request, politely conveyed by the President, is backed by meetings threatening reprisals if it is refused.

We have a suggestion to make Let the American Government be politely informed that on the special petition of a friendly power, we will show the convicts an undeserved mercy; the sentence shall be respited from time to time, with the full understanding that if the Fenians repeat their outrages the sentence will be forthwith carried into effect; and so let it be with all the Fenian prisoners now in our hands.

CODIFICATION.

ON Monday evening Mr. DUDLEY FIELD, of New York, laid before the Law Amendment Society the Civil Code of New York, as prepared by himself and another commissioner, and now about to be adopted by the Legislature of that State. It is certainly a wonderful work. In an octavo volume of about 800 pages the entire civil law is codified. Of these pages more than half are occupied with notes referring to the cases or statutes in which the law, as set forth in the code itself was found-notes designed to assist, but not to control, interpretation. Without the notes the code itself might probably be contained in a volume about the size of Paterson's Practical Statutes, that could be carried in the pocket! Mr. FIELD explained the manner in which the commissioners had proceeded in the performance of their task, and he showed what facility was provided for any subsequent change of the law-inasmuch as, instead of an elaborate statute, reference may be made merely to the 24th article of the code (or as the case may be) and it may be then enacted that instead of the words in such article the following words be substituted. An interesting discussion followed. Mr. GREAVES expressed his great pleasure at this proof that codification was practicable. He had himself partially effected it in the Criminal Law Consolidation Acts. Mr. ROBERT LOWE, M.P. described the manner in which the commission, of which he was a member, had constructed a code for India. Other speakers declared themselve

in favour of codification, but avowed disbelief in Parliament being induced to accept a code without discussion in committee, any attempt at which would of course make the passing of such a measure impossible. Mr. Lowe said that he considered this an untenable objection, for he had passed the Joint-Stock Companies Bill, and without a single amendment, in a few nights, and the same had been done with other important measures in which party questions were not involved. Mr. FIELD observed that it was by no means necessary that the whole code should be introduced at once. A single branch of it might be taken. For instance, the entire law relating to negotiable instruments was contained in less than twenty articles.

The meeting, which was a numerous one, was unanimous in approving an attempt being made to codify our law, some, however, thinking that it should be preceded by a digest of the law, as suggested by Sir JAMES WIlde.

Hitherto we have doubted the practicability of codification, and therefore the LAW TIMES has strenuously advocated consolidation. But we must confess to have been converted, not so much by Mr. FIELD's arguments, as by the positive evidence he has laid before us of the work actually accomplished by himself and his explanation of the manner in which it was done. The law of New York is the law of England, with very trifling alterations. The cases referred to in the notes as those from which the law defined in the code is derived, are almost all English cases. The main difficulty that presented itself-the passing of a volume through any conceivable committee of the House of Commons-is removed by the suggestion that each subject might form a separate Bill, and codification thus proceed by degrees, with the assurance that if the first trial made be approved in practice, the later portions will

be advanced at an accelerated pace.

We purpose, therefore, to bring this question fully under the consideration of our readers. To this end we have, by Mr. FIELD's desire, reprinted the introduction to his New York Code, which gives a full and interesting history of its origin, plan, and construction. It will be followed by some specimens of the work itself, which will not only illustrate the introduction, but give to the English lawyer, and to the law student especially, a condensation of the law which will be very instructive to read, very useful for reference, and even well worth committing to memory.

This curious fact is not peculiar to Cambridge and Oxford. It might be noted throughout society, and it must be singularly striking to those whose memories carry them back to the time of the first Reform Bill. Then, not in the Universities only, but in all societies, the young men were almost without exception Reformers (the title of Liberals had not been introduced); Conservatives (or as they were then called, Anti-reformers) were rare exceptions among the men who had not passed their thirtieth birthday - though frequent enough among the older people, who could not so easily cast off the traditions of their own early days. But, now, go into any society above that of the lowest middle class, and what do we find? The very reverse of the state of things forty years ago. The Liberals are to be found almost exclusively among the old, and the young are almost to a man Conservatives. A young Democrat is now almost as rare in a circle having any

claim to respectability as in our youth-time was a Tory; while among the ranks of the elderly the Liberals are to be looked for just as there we were wont in former days to look for the Tories.

and he also wished to impress upon all persons who were interested in voluntary windings-up the great importance of requiring sufficient security to be given by the liquidators. Ample security was always required by the Master of the Rolls to be given by a liquidator where the voluntary windingup was conducted under the supervision of the court. His Lordship observed that without attention to this, and proper care to insist on the due passing of the accounts, there could be no security, and when he remembered the large number of cases now pending before him, and yet saw such statements as that which he had mentioned, he was extremely apprehensive least through negligence or omission His Lordship said that some calamity should occur. he had every reason to believe that the Standard was accurate in its statements, and he was therefore desirous of at once putting a stop to a most improper practice.

This phenomenon appears to have perplexed Lord HOUGHTON; but it admits of very easy explanation. In his and our spring-time the contest lay between Reformers and Antireformers-those who were for improving, and those who resisted all change. Now all are reformers, all are for improvement; none are hostile to change because it is change, and the fight is for or against Democracy. The cry then was for " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill;" that Bill giving power to the middle classes almost exclusively, and actually diminishing the power of the working class by depriving them of the franchises they had previously possessed. Now the claim and the contest is for the transfer of power from the upper and middle classes to the working class; and this, too, with avowed objects inconsistent with the recog nised rights of property, and to be accomplished only by a complete social revolution. Hence it is that almost the entire youth of the Universities, as elsewhere, are now Conservatives, as formerly they were Reformers. The common danger of Democracy of the hideous American type has merged all minor differences upon the more or less of reform, and enlisted all who are not of the Democracy, and who have aught to lose, whether hitherto they called themselves Whig, Conservative, or Liberal, under the Is it a dream or a reality? It is asserted to significant designation of Constitutionalists, for be no longer a pretty theory, but to be converted the protection of constitutional government and into practice. It is done, and done successfully of civil and religious liberty against the threat--by BRIGGS and Co. (Limited). ened despotism of a Democracy. It is not, as Lord HOUGHTON seems to think, that opinions have receded. In fact, they have advanced. The Constitutionalists of the year 1866 are in all respects more liberal than was the Radical Reformer of 1830.

INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIPS. "THERE's a good time coming," was the popular song a few years ago. "The good time has come," is shouted now by enthusiasts whose hearts are bigger than their brains. The latest regenerators of humanity are BRIGGS and Co. (Limited); their panacea, industrial partnership. There is to be an end to trades unions, strikes, and blowing up the houses of stubborn claimants of the right of the individual man to resist the tyranny of a majority, and capital and labour are to be reconciled, nay, to be so blended in interest, as to make contests impossible-and then-a millenium.

WINDING-UP.

THE MASTER of the ROLLS has requested that publicity may be given to the following observations made by him from the bench on Tuesday:

His Lordship said that he had read in the money article of the Standard of yesterday (Monday) a statement that the liquidators of certain companies which were in course of winding-up made loans of funds of the companies, for periods of from ten days to a fortnight, at 3 or 4 per cent. interest. Upon this he wished to observe that he could not think this statement was applicable to official liquidators. Their conduct and operations should be guided by a very strict rule, which bound them to pay all money received by them into the Bank within seven days of receiving it, and to pass their accounts every fortnight. If they made any default, the chief clerk under whose jurisdiction the case was immediately required them to pass such accounts. His Lordship remarked that the Bar were aware, although he could not feel sure that the public knew that the Court of Chancery had no control over a voluntary Where such voluntary winding-up winding-up. the court had control, and might be called on to was carried on under the supervision of the court, exercise supervision. 'His Lordship desired it to be known that it was highly improper for any liquidator to employ for the purposes of profit any money which he had received on account of the company; such profit if made would belong to the company to whom the money belonged; but inasmuch as it would be impossible for such profit to be made without risk, and the moneys passing through the hands of liquidators were often of large amount, any loss which might result from the money being employed in the above-mentioned manner would fall with grievous severity both on creditors and contributories. His Lordship wished it to be known that it was highly improper for liquidators to lend the funds of a company for any period whatever,

prospects.

carry on the coal-mining business previously conducted by Messrs. BRIGGS and Co. Why Mr. BRIGGS parted with a profitable business to a company, instead of keeping its profits in his own pocket, and the terms on which it was sold, we will not inquire too curiously, for this has nothing to do with the present question. As we understand it, a certain number of shares in the company are held by the workmen, whether voluntarily or as a condition of employment we are not informed. The accounts of the company are kept in the manner usual with joint-stock companies, and thus one difficulty that would attend the application of the scheme to a private business is removed, namely, the proof of the actual amount of profit; the workman therefore may be sure that he is not cheated of his share. The profits, thus ascertained, at the close of each year are divided as follows: in the first place 10 percent. upon the capital employed in the business is paid to the master, and then the balance, if any, is equally divided between the master and the workmen. Mr. BRIGGS asserts that in this manner his profits have been larger than cent. net upon the capital is the regular profit of before, and we may well believe him. Ten per ordinary trade in England, and if more than this is obtained by BRIGGS and Co., they have good cause for congratulation. Whatever they make beyond this is really the product of the extra labour and care bestowed by the workman under the wholesome stimulus of participation in the profit of his work. In fact, the company takes one half of the extra earnings of its labourers, and whatever the amount, it is so much pure gain. Instead of making a boast of it as a grand display of philanthropy, BRIGGS and Co. (Limited) should be ashamed of taking, beyond its own proper profits, so large a share as one-half of the surplus earnings of their workmen
