The Law and the Lawyers.

THE inconvenience occasioned by the holding of assizes in November is made glaringly apparent by the condition of the several courts. At the commencement of the sittings, and for some time after, two Lords Justices, a Chancery judge, and several of the common law judges were engaged on the circuits. Counsel on the Northern and North-Eastern Circuits were also away, and could not move their new trials. New trial papers being called on could not be proceeded with owing to the absence on circuit of judges who had tried the cases. Worst of all, the Court of Appeal can only work at half pressure. Luckily for the judicature, new business is almost unknown, and the consequences of the condition of things to which we refer may not be very serious. But this is not to be anticipated in future years, and attention will have to be directed to the question how the Winter Assizes Act can be worked without disorganising our metropolitan courts.

IT is interesting to examine the County Court statistics as to remitted causes. In 1876, 483 were remitted from the High Court; and in 1877, 770. Those under sect. 26 of the Act of 1856 were in the main actions for small amounts for goods sold VOL LXVI.-No 1858.

and delivered, which ought not to have been commenced in the superior court. Some apparently serious actions of tort were remitted, but the majority seem to have been vexatious, or the amounts claimed absurdly inflated. The following is a fair specimen Damages to goods and conversion, £200 claimedsettled; detinue, claim £50, recovered, £37; damage, personal injury, £200, recovered, £42; assault and false imprisonment, £200, judgment for defendant; negligent driving, £250, recovered £100; malicious prosecution, £500-withdrawn; wages and slander, £500, verdict for defendant; wrongful arrest and imprisonment, £500, recovered £25; personal injuries, £500, apparently settled; slander £300-nonsuit; trespass, £50, recovered £2; false imprisonment, £100, struck out; malicious prosecution, £50, ditto, no plaintiff; negligence, £110, verdict for defendant; false imprisonment, £100, recovered £10; detinue, £50, not heard. Then follow fifteen causes, of which seven were struck out, or there was a nonsuit, or they were withdrawn. This proves that legitimate business is taken away from the High Court to a very small extent, and that what are got rid of are causes, generally speaking, that either ought not to have been brought, or were of a character fit only for an inferior tribunal.

MUCH controversy has been lately called forth by the refusal of the English Government to allow the acceptance by British competitors at the French International Exhibition of the decoration of the Legion of Honour. It does not seem to be generally known that the rules of law, using the term law in a broad sense, upon which that refusal was based, were published in the London Gazette, so long ago as the 6th Dec. 1823. Those rules are contained in six sections. The first provides that no British subject shall accept a foreign order, or wear its insignia, without having previously obtained a warrant under the royal sign manual, directed to the Earl Marshal of England, granting His Majesty's permission to accept and wear the same; the second, that the intention of a foreign sovereign to decorate a British subject with the insignia of such order shall be notified to His Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; the third, that when such foreign secretary shall have taken His Majesty's pleasure, and obtained his consent on the occasion, he shall then signify the same to the Home Secretary, in order that he may cause the usual warrant to be prepared for the royal sign manual, and take such other steps as may be necessary; the fourth, that when the warrant is duly signed it shall be announced in the Gazette, and registered in the College of Arms; the fifth, that no British subject can be allowed to accept the insignia of a foreign order from any govereign of a foreign state, unless such insignia are conferred in consequence of active and distinguished services before the enemy, either at sea or in the field, or unless he shall have been employed in the service of such foreign sovereign; the sixth and last, that such licence and permission does not authorise, and shall not be deemed or construed to authorise the assumption of any style, appellation, rank, precedence, or privilege appertaining to a knight bachelor of these realms. These rules are still in force. They are so clear in their terms that it is hard to discover on what grounds any fault has been found with the Government for the refusal to which we have alluded.

A CASE has come recently before the Circuit Court of Cook County (U. S.) disclosing a system which might be very well introduced into Great Britain. A regularly educated graduate, licensed to practise as a physician and enjoying a large practice in Chicago, was threatened by the State Board of Health with the revocation of his licence. He thereupon applied to the circuit court for an injunction to restrain the board from so doing. The ground upon which the board issued its threat was that the physician had advertised in a manner which the board considered unprofessional and dishonourable. The State Board, it appears, is a corporation composed of seven persons appointed by the Governor of the State by and with the advice of the Senate. It is entrusted with the charge of medical practice and medical practitioners, and by the language of the Act of incorporation has surveillance of the professional conduct of physicians. It may refuse certificates to practise, and revoke those already granted. Several physicians made affidavits that the applicant's advertisements were unprofessional, and then the question arose whether the power vested in the board was unconstitutional. The Court held that the right to practise medicine was not a contract, nor property, but a mere naked grant of a privilege upon terms imposed by statute. Consequently it was determined that the board had full discretion, and might revoke a practitioner's licence for unprofessional conduct, of which they must be the judges. It would be a good thing if the Incorporated Law Society were invested with similar powers, in order that an end might be put to the careers of solicitors who advertise and tout, and do other acts of an unprofessional character.

Ir is remarkable how frequently questions arise upon sect. 11 of the Common Law Procedure Act 1854. We have lately reported another-namely, the case of Moffatt v. Cornelius (39 L. T. Rep. N. S. 102). In that case the plaintiff had bought a cargo

of maize from the defendant. One of the clauses contained in the contract was to the effect that if any dispute should arise "the contract not to be void, it being agreed to leave the same to be settled by two London cornfactors, whose decision should be final." The plaintiff having paid £650 on account, rejected the maize on the ground that it was not of the crop and quality contracted for, and sued the defendant to recover the amount paid on account. The defendant refused to return the money, for the reason that the dispute was one which ought to be referred to arbitration under the agreement to refer in the contract, and applied for and obtained a stay of proceedings under sect. 11 of the Common Law Procedure Act 1854. The section in question provides that whenever the parties to any deed or instrument in writing agree that any then existing or future differences between them shall be referred to arbitration, and any of the parties so agreeing nevertheless commences an action against the other party in respect of the matters so agreed to be referred, it shall be lawful for a judge of the court in which the action is brought, on application by the defendant after appearance and before plea, upon being satisfied that no sufficient reason exists why such matters cannot be or ought not to be referred to arbitration according to the agreement and that the defendant was and is willing to do everything necessary and proper for causing the matters in dispute to be decided by arbitration, to make an order staying all proceedings. The order obtained by the defendant was reversed by Mr Justice LOPES. The defendant appealed to the Queen's Bench Division, where Mr. Justice LOPES's order was itself reversed. The plaintiff then appealed. Wickham v. Harding (28 L. J. 215 Ex.) is an authority for the proposition that the exercise of jurisdiction is a matter of discretion with the court. But to entitle defendant to a stay of proceedings he must make out, in the first place, that there is an agreement to refer, and in the second, he must satisfy the court that no sufficient reason exists why such matter cannot or ought not to be referred. For the appellant, in the present case, it was argued that the section did not apply unless there was an existing reference to arbitration capable of being carried into effect. In Moffatt v. Cornelius there was no such existing reference, for there had been a revocation. Bright v. Burnell (4 Dowl. 756) was quoted in support of the contention. That case is an authority for the proposition that the Act does not apply when the submission is incomplete. Hence, where arbitrators were appointed in pursuance of a clause in a deed that all disputes should be referred to the arbitration of two persons named, who are directed to choose an umpire before they proceed, but the umpire has not been appointed, it is not within the statute: (Ib.) The subsequent case of Randall v. Thompson (35 L. T. Rep. N. S. 193) was also cited on behalf of the appellant. There the parties had submitted their differences to a named arbitrator. He undertook the arbitration, and proceeded in it for three months. Before he made his award one of the parties revoked his submission. Hence, inasmuch as the arbitrator was named in the reference, the court had no power to appoint another. The judgment of the Queen's Bench Division was affirmed. "The substantial point made by the defendant," said Lord Justice COTTON, "is that there was no agreement to refer within the meaning of the Common Law Procedure Act, at the time of action brought. It is not disputed that, if the case is within the section, there was a matter of difference. The question is, was there such an agreement? The case relied on (Randall v. Thompson) by the defendant is distinguishable. There is a great difference between the revocation of an agreement to refer and of a submission to arbitration. In that case all matters in difference were submitted to a particular individual. That submission was revoked, and there was no power to appoint another arbitrator. Here there is a general agreement to refer; and though one party refuses to nominate an arbitrator, the Common Law Procedure Act enables the other party to get over the difficulty. There was therefore a subsisting agreement, at the time of action brought, to refer the question to arbitration, and the court below were right in staying proceedings." This distinction between a general agreement to refer and an agreement to refer to a particular arbitrator is not difficult of comprehension; yet, as pointed out by Lord Justice THESIGER, it was quite competent to the appellant to revoke a particular submission.

THE inconvenience of the rule established now nearly two years ago by the case of Warner v. Murdoch (35 L. T. Rep. N. S. 748), that a trial by jury cannot be heard before a judge of the Chancery Division, was well exemplified in the case of McDougall v. Copestake, which occupied the Queen's Bench Division the greater part of Wednesday morning. This case came before the court in the form of an appeal from a decision of Mr. Justice FIELD at Chambers, refusing to make an order upon a summons of_the defendant. The plaintiff, who was the proprietor of the Hour newspaper, was desirous of discontinuing and selling his business, and for that purpose put himself into communication with a Mr. BEDALL, who in his turn mentioned the matter to the defendant. The defendant was anxious that the business should be continued in the plaintiff's name, and eventually terms were arranged by which it was agreed that the defendant should lay down £10,000

to be expended upon the business, which was to be continued upcr certain conditions. These terms were reduced to the form of a written agreement intended for the signature of the defendant. Before his signature had been obtained, however, the other partners, in the firm of which he was a member, objected to his being directly concerned in the matter, and in consequence of their objections it was arranged that BEDALL'S name should be substituted for that of the defendant in the agreement, and that the defendant should pay the £10,000 to BEDALL. The defendant, moreover, according to the plaintiff, made various parol promises to indemnify the plaintiff for any loss resulting to him from the change of names, but such indemnity did not appear upon the face of the agreement. The plaintiff commenced an action against BEDALL and the defendant in the Chancery Division, claiming specific performance of the agreement, and also that the deferdant might be decreed to sign a proper indemnity in accordance with the intention of the parties. The case was tried before ViceChancellor HALL in May 1877, who nonsuited the plaintiff as far as his action against the present defendant was concerned, and directed certain accounts as between the plaintiff and BEDALL The Court of Appeal subsequently affirmed this decision. The plaintiff then commenced the present action against the defendant in the Queen's Bench Division, founding his cause of action not upon the agreement itself, but upon the collateral promises and representations of the defendant. The pleadings were completed. and notice of trial given for Middlesex, and the defendant then took out the summons above mentioned in which he applied under Order LI., r. 2, for a transfer of the action to Vice-Chancellor HALL'S Court, or in the alternative, that the trial should be delayed until after the accounts between BEDALL and the plaintiff, then being taken in the Chancery Division, should be completed. At chambers the plaintiff offered to allow the defendant to claim any advantage from the statement of accounts when completed, and was willing to run the risk of its being against him so only that the action were allowed to come on in its proper course. On the defendant being dissatisfied with this, the learned judge declined to make any order, and the defendant accordingly moved the court by way of appeal. In support of the appeal it was contended that the action pending, though different in_form from that already decided, was the same in substance, and that the Vice-Chancellor having heard all the facts would be able immediately to say whether all, and if not how much, of the new action was res judicata, and that any issues of fact that it might be necessary to try could be sent down for trial by a jury. It was further contended that the accounts taken in the Chancery Division could then be utilised, and in all probability an expensive inquiry averted. To this it was answered that the causes of action were totally distinct, and that the question in the second action was entirely one for a jury; that a pure question of law had been raised in the Chancery Division, and that it was now desired to try a pure question of fact; that if issues were directed by the Chancery judge the inquiry would probably be carried to a greater length than it would be by retaining the case in the Queen's Bench Division; and that the plaintiff's offer at chambers, and which he repeated in court, was sufficient to obviate the defendant's objections on the score of the accounts not yet completed. Obviously the most convenient mode of trial would have been before the Vice-Chancellor with a jury. Even though the cause of action be different, there can be no doubt that the two inquiries would cover a great deal of the same ground, and that the Vice-Chancellor would be able at any rate considerably to shorten the trial were it held before him. Inasmuch, however, as the plaintiff demanded a jury, and was entitled to have one, this was impossible, and the Court did the best it could under the circumstances by granting the second part of the defendant's application and refusing the first, counsel on both sides engaging to be bound by the statement of account between the plaintiff and BEDALL. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated that he arrived at this decision in consequence of the conclusion arrived at by the judges of the Chancery Division with respect to trial by jury-a conclusion, however, in which he said he by no means shared; on the contrary he thought that under the Judicature Acts they had the same power to try causes with a jury as previously they had under Lord CAIRNS' Act. He further said that, in his opinion, a rule of court ought to be made to reverse those decisions, and that he intended to bring the matter forward at the next meeting of the judges with that object. We heartily wish his Lordship every

success.

THE QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION AND THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

We do not wish to underrate the importance of the controversy as to the respective jurisdictions of the Queen's Bench and the Court of Arches, which has been elaborated in the judgments delivered by the Lord Chief Justice and Lord Penzance; but it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that neither law nor public policy would have sustained any shock at all had the judgment of Mr. Justice Lush, in Martin v. Mackonochie, been adopted as the judgment of the Queen's Bench Division. The public certainly had been taught to recognise in Lord Penzance, con
