LONDON, t r• - cwi .RSD IY EVENING, JUNE 25, 18429. ST OF SIR WALTER SCOTT'S WORKS. We observed lately, in an Edinburgh periodical, a para graph, which has since been copied into other publications, professing to exhibit a list of the different contributions to o ar literature from the pm of our renowned countryman Sir Walter Scott. But this list being obviously defective, even in regard to the Novels of the Great Known, we have procured something nearer the truth front a friend who is intimately conversant with bibliographical matters; and, by his kindness, we are now enabled to lay before our readers a more correct catalogue of the literary achieve ments of our illustrious countryman, whether in the shape of original works, in compilation, in editing, or in aiding the efforts of others, than is to be found either in the pata graph alluded to, or even under the proper head in Dr. Watt's wonderful performance, the "Bibliotheca Bri- tar nica" : Years. .799.

As it appears unreasonable that the right to 'curtesy should depend on the birth of issue capable of inheriting, so on the other hand, if thaw were to be now first introduced, it would scarcely be thought reasonable or expedient, that where an estate has descended on a married woman, having issue by a former marriage, perhaps otherwise wholly unprovided for, and to which the estate would otherwise descend, the stn viving husband, who is under no legal obli gation to support such issue, should take for his life the whole property to which such issue is inheritable. We propose, therefore, as some improvement of this part.of the law, that curtesy should attach o►►e estates of inheritance, legal and beneficial, cu. beneficial only, to which the husband was en titled in possession in right of the deceased -wife, although there may have been no issue of the marriage ; and on the other hand, that it should be restricted to an undivided moiety of the estate, whenever and so far as but for the husband's curtest' it would immediately descend to the issue of the wife by a former marriage. We do not propose at present to extend these alterations of the law to gavelkind lands, or borough English lands, or to copyhold or customary lands, for the reason assigned with respect to dower or free bench in the same species of property. FINES AND RECOVERIES. A fine in its origin was an amicable compo sition, by leave of the King or his Justices, of an actual suit, whereby the lands were acknow ledged to be the right of one of the parties, and at common law all persons were barred by it who did not claim within a year. and a day. The safe title acquired by this process led, it is sup posed, to the practice of transferring lands by means of a fictitious suit of the same nature as the real suit above alluded to. This is the ori gin of the fines of the present day, which, sub ject to certain modifications made from time to time by statutes, have been in use for centuries. The bar by non•claim after a year and a day on fines at common law was taken away by the statute 34 Edw. 111. c. 16. The statutes 1 Rich 111. c. 7, and 4 Hen. VII. c. 24, have declared, that a fine proclaimed in four succes sive terms, the first proclamation being made in the term in which the fine is engrossed, shall operate as a bar by non-claim at the end of' five years after the last proclamation, but with a cer tain limited extension of time in the cases of in fancy, coverture, lunacy, and absence beyond seas ; and by the latter statute, and the statute 32 Hen. VIII. c. 36, the further effect of bar ring estates tail was given to fines levied with proclamations. The two last statutes gave rise to a distinction between fines levied with pro clamations, and fines levied without proclama tions, the latter being fines at common law, and having those effects only which fines had imme diately after the passing of the statute 31 Edw. 111. c. 16. There are four sorts of fines, viz.: -Ist, a fine " Sur conuzance de droit come ceo, Sic .;" 2dlv, A fine " Sur conuzance de droit tantum 3dly, A fine, " Sur concessit ;" and, Liddy, a fine " Sur done grant et render." The first and third are those in general use ; the second is sometimes used, but the same purposes can be attained-either by the first or third. The fourth is obsolete. The first is always levied with pro clamations, and so it seems was the fourth fine. But the second and third arc usually levied without proclamations. The three principal uses to which fines are applied are, to bar estates tail, and enable the tenant in tail to acquire or pass a base fee deter minable on the failure of the issue in tail, to gain a title by non-claim, and to pass the estates and bar the rights of married women. For the first two objects the first fine is usually, resorted to. The last object is often accomplished by the first fine, sometimes by the second, but more frequently by the third, which is usually resorted to for conveying the life estates and interests of married women, and for creating terms of years to bind, by way of estoppel, their contingent or executory or other estates and interests. A fine; according to the sort used, will also produce the following effects :—lt will operate by estoppel in other cases besides the one above not i ce d ; it will operate as a confirmation of all prior defeasable estates or charges made by the party levying it ; it will release or extinguish rights, interests, and power ; it will destroy. or extinguish contingent remainders and executory interests ; it will create a discontinuance when levied by a tenant in tail in possession ; it will revoke devises, and, when levied by a tenant for life or in tail after possibility of issue extinct, or by a tenant for years, or by a copyholder, it will produce a forfeiture ; and when levied by a tenant in tail, with the immediate remainder or reversion in fee to himself, the base fee acquired by the fine will merge in the remainder or rever sion, which will immediately become an estate in possession, and all the - estates and charges made on the remainder or reversion, not only by the tenant in tail him Self, but also by those who were previously entitled to the remainder or re version, will, in consequence of the merger, be let into possession, and become immediately available. According to the strict rules of the old law, the over-reaching power of a fine " Sur conic zance de droit come ceo, 6-c." in divesting estates, and in extinguishing rights, powers, &c. was so inflexibl3, that its operation could not be controlled even by the declared intention of the parties. This rigid rule, pregnant with mischief to titles, has been relaxed of late years, and fines have been treated by the most eminent convey ancers as common assurances, not operating beyond the particular purposes intended, provided the intention of the parties should clearly appear. he question, however, has only been recently set at rest by a decision of the King's Bench. The relaxation of the rule does not supersede the necessity ofgreat caution in confining the opera tion of a fine " Sur conuzance de droit come ceo, Bfc." Thus, when it is intended to pre- SO4.

He now re mains at his chambers in a state of the utmost danger. Few men in private life were so amiable as Mr. St. LEG En. Eleven young ducks, the property of a person at Devizes, were last week killed by the violence of the hailstones. A Correspondent who passed through Smith field Market a few days since says that the scenes of cruelty and disorder which he witnessed were quite hor rible, while fellows with the words ca City Police" on glazed hats stood apparently quite regardless of what was passing. LONDON MECLI ANICS' INSTITUTION. -- n e Managers of this Institution, with a taste adapted to the season, have for the present foregone their Lectures on Combustion, Steam-engines, and Electricity, and are pre ,enting the members with a Course of Literary Lectures. Mr. MASON, the wood engraver, is going through a history of engraving, illustrated by numerous specimens of the art at different periods, which is to he followed by an account of lithography; and last night Mr. Smarts gave the first Lecture of a Course of Dramatic Readings. The mem bers being, by this time, it may be hoped, well grounded in science, it is judici ous t o g i ve th em the means of acquiring the ornament of eloquence. The Lectures of Mr. SMART, should they all be like the first, must at,least give them a liking for his art. The subject he chose for its display last night was SHAKESPEA R'S Julius Cccsar. At the close of the reading, Mr. SMART personated several of SHAKESPEARE'S characters; and his Falstaff, though be was neither stuffed nor dressed, excited roars of laughter. We are happy to observe, that this Institution, which other . things' have long compell e d us to pasS'by is silence , s till keeps its hold of public favour. In addition to Draw ing, Mathematical, and Language Classes, it has now +a Modelling School. PRICE 7D. serve a life estate, or to prevent the extinguish ment of powers, it is•nece~sary that in the deed declaring the uses of the fine the parties should express that intention. From want of due atten• tion to the different tenures by which lands are held, cases of forfeiture not unfrequently occur. Other mischief's arising from want of due caution in the use of fines are known to every practitioner. In short, the skill and nicety re quired in levying fines for particular purposes, to avoid any of the other effects incident to them, are frequently so great, that irreparable mischiefs are often produced by unskilful or careless prac titioners. A Common Recovery is a judgment in a ficti tious suit, in the nature of a real action brought by the dentandant against the tenant of the free hold, who vouches some perso❑ to warrant the lands, and judgment is given for the dewandant to recover them against the tenant, in conse quence of the person vouched, or the person last vouched, if there should be more than one vouchee, making default in defending the title to the lands, which title he is supposed to have warranted. In a recovery, the regular process of a real action is pursued throughout, and no comprothise takes place as in a fine. Common recoveries were invented by-ecclesiastics, in order to elude the Statutes of Mortmain, and were in constant use for that purpose until checked by the Statute 'Westminster 2, 13 Edw. I, c. 32. In consequence of the principles laid down in the 12 Edw. IV., in Taltarum's case, a common recovery was afterwards applied to the purpose of evading the Statute of Westminster 2, 13 Edw. 1., c. 1, commonly called the Statute Dc Donis Conditionalibus, by virtue of which the old common law estate of fee simple conditional was abolished, and the modern estate tail was intro duced, with such restrictions, that the tenant in tail could not alienate the lands entailed, nor make them subject to his debts in the hands of • his successors, nor were they liable to forfeiture for felony or treason, the last of which incidents was, in those disturbed times, considered by the Crown as a serious evil. In the long interval of nearly 200 years between the passing of the Statute De Donis and the application of reco veries to the evading of that statute, there was no contrivance, except that of warranty in a few cases, by which lands entailed could be unfet tered. During that interval many attempts were made in Parliament to procure the repeal of that statute, but without success, on account of the uniform opposition of the great landed proprie tors. Awkward as was the contrivance of a re covery for unfettering lands entailed, yet it was considered a great boon to the public, because it removed the mischiefs which arose from the ten dency of the Statute De Donis to establish perpetuities. The principal use of a recovery is to enable a tenant in tail to bar not only his estate tail, but also all remainders, reversions, conditions, col- . lateral limitations, and charges, not prior to the estate tail, and to acquire or pass a fee simple or an estate commensurate with the estate of the settler; but a reversion vested in the Crown cannot, as it is generally - understood, be barred by a recovery. A recovery will produce other effects, viz. :it will operate by estoppel, when suffered without a proper tenant to the pratipe, or by persons having contingent or expectant or other rights or interests, •or by expectant heirs, and in some other cases, so as to conclude the parties suffer ing it and all persons claiming under them, except issue in tail ; it will operate as a confirma tion of all prior estates or charges made by the tenant in tail who suffers it ; it will release or ex ... tinguish rights, interests and powers ; it will destroy or extinguish contingent remainders and executory interests ; it will work a discontinuance to the issue in tail, if not duly suffered by tenant in tail ; it will revoke devises ; it will create a forfeiture in many cases, when suffered by a tenant for life, or by persons not having the freehold. Although it is not usual to suffer a recovery, except when it is necessary to bar entails and re mainders over, yet, when resorted to for those purposes, it is not unfrequently made use of at the same time to convey, release, bar, or extin guish the estates, rights, powers and interests of married women and others. In order to operate as a bar to an estate tail, and the remainders and reversion, it is necessary that a proper writ be brought, and that there be a demandant, tenant, and vouchee. The writ must be brought by the demandant against the person who has the immediate freehold, who is technically called the tenant to the prcecipe ; for all actions to recover the seisin of lands, to be effectual, must be brought against the actual te- nant of the freehold. Hence a tenant in tail, who has not himself the immediate freehold, must, in order to bar by a recovery the entail and the remainders and reversion, procure the con currence of the person who 'has the immediate estate of freehold. In consequence of the diffi culties which frequently occurred in procuring a \ conveyance from leases for lives to make a tenant •• to the prcecipe, their concurrence was dispensed with by the statute 14 Geo. 11. c. 20 ; and by the same statute the person entitled to the first estate for life or other greater estate in reversion ' expectant on the leases, was made competent to make the tenant to the prcecipe, and was for that purpose considered as having the immediate free hold. The common law required that a tenant to the prcecipe in a recovery should have the freehold before and at the time of judgment given. But the above-mentioned statute, 11 Geo. 11. c. 20, has made a recovery valid, if the freehold is vested in the tenant to the prcecipe before the end of the term, great ses sion, session, or assizes, in which it is suffered, notwithstanding the fine or deed for making the tenant to the prcecipe should be levied or exe cuted after the judgment has been given in such recovery, and the writ of seisin has been awarded. Thus it appears that the Legislature has relieved common recoveries from one of the requisites in real adverse suits, and in doing so has incum bered them with a legal fiction. In a recovery by a tenant in tail, it is necessary that he should vouch some person to warranty. If the writ is brought by the defendant against the tenant in tail, and he vouches over another person, the recovery only bars the estate tail, of which the tenant in tail is then seized, and the remainders aNd reversion. This recovery is called a Reco very with single Voucher. If the writ is brought by the demandant against another person who has vouches th e t enan t i n ta il,- the ,iminediate estate of freehold, and that person and he vouches over anoPier p erson , t h e recovery b ars a ll es t ates t a l of or to whi c h t h e tenant i n ta il i s, or ever was , seized or entitl e d, an d t h e rema i n d ers an d rever sion. This recovery is called a Recovery with double Voucher. If th ere are two estates tail existing at one time in distinct persons, the unc being derived out of the other, a recovery with treble voucher is sometimes sulTered, although the necessity of such a recovery is considered doubtful. In this case the writ is brought by the demandant against some person who has the immediate estate of freehold, not being either of the tenants in tail, and that person vouches the tenant of the derivable estate tail, who vouches over the tenant of the original estate tail, and he vouches over another person. The person solely vouched, or last vouched, is always some officer of the Court where the recovery is suffered, and he is called the Common Voucher. It is not usual to suffer a recovery with single voucher. In the case of a recovery with double or treble voucher, the person having the first estate of. freehold conveys it to a stranger to make him tenant to the preecipe ; the tenant must appear in Court either personally or by attorney, and therefore some person in the habit of attending the Court where the re covery is suffered is usually made the tenant, in order to save the expellee and delay ofa commissioli of dedinzus potestatent, which Must be incurred if the tenant appeared by attorney. It is not necessary that the demandant should appear in Court, but every vouchee must appear in Court, either in person or by attorney, The demandailt has judgment to recover the 'mid against th tenant, and the tenant has judgment tO recover of his vouchee land of equal value in raPomz - _ • pense for the land lost by his default ; and if there are several successive vouchees, each per- son vouching has judgment to . recover 01 his vouchee in like manner. The supposed re, compence in value to the tenant and vouchee, or each successive vouchee except the - last, ist usually assigned as the reason why the issue iu tail and the remainders and reversion arc barred by a recovery. In consequence of its being required that the tenant to the preecipe should.have the freellohl, great difficulties are frequently throirn in th 6 way of barring entails, and occasionally ttiriolii.;; mischiefs arise. So long as the freehold reindif3 in the tenant for life, or if there should be no tenant for life, in the tenant in tail, who i to suffer the recovery, there is no difficulty. lint it often happens that the freehold is in a trustee or has been aliened by the tenant for life or tenant in tail, and the person in whom it is vest- - ed cannot be traced, or will refuse to concur. in making the tenant ; sometimes it is a question of construction whether the freehold is vested iii trustees. If under the impression that they have not the freehold, they are not made to . ioni in the conveyance to the tenant; the -recovel 4 - may be void. Not unfrequently, from omitting to investigate the title - when a recovery is to he suffered, or from some other cause,' it is not known that the freehold is ina - ftru - stee, or that it has been aliened, and front ignorance of.. this circumstance the recovery is void. These Juis,„ chiefs can only be remedied by obtaining the concurrence of the person in whom -the freehold is vested, and suffering a new recovery. If recovery should be void from want of a proper tenant.to the prcecipe, and the defect should be discovered in the life-time of the tenant iv tail who suffered it, the evil is - incurable, and the • , estate may be lost by the persons cianning under the recovery. Mr. Prestoh, in hiS Treatise on Conveyancing; that ~k It-hays happened that , six.reeoteries have .tbeet tatfihred to bar 'the - same -estate tail, and:thavtive , of have 'been- defective Tot want of good: tengtok to the writ - of , entry, :and the. sixth recovery though good according to hetter, opinion, i n volved the.question, whether a. recovery ,de-..• fective as against the issue in tail and •those itt remainder and reversion,. for. want pf„a. good th a tr e otvape p i pal the tnlieorsure, uses so o aiild a s ivledecye t i o ara nr eics pi d: t s ch s asen t rrd l co l e ou f.ss ,t e ,it s )pr t p a i t y e b ays s t ar n to in tenant. to the writ of entry, is . good as betw een of se . ‘ s N u l ff h e en rii ' l i g te a nailt re covery, he is at the mercy of the person, the freehold, who has it in his power to with- • hold his assent. There are instances of this power being abused, and of the person haring the freehold extorting from the remainder man a consideration for his concurrence. 'This sometimes occurs when the freehold continues in the first tenant for life; who may or may not be connected with the remainder man,.but it more frequently occurs when the freehold is vested in an alienee, who is generally a stranger. There are cases in which great skill and caution must be used in making the tenant to the prcecipe, in order to preserve powers rights and interests which might otherwise be prejudiced or ex tinguished, as the following examples will spew. If a tenant for life conveys to a tenant to the prcecipe to enable a remainder man in tail to suffer tt recovery, he will, without caution, ex tinguish the powers annexed to his. estate for life, and let in upon his own estate the cumbrances of the remainder man. The expe dients adopted to prevent this mischief are ex tremely subtle and artificiaL By similar expC dients a tenant for life with a contingent remain der in tail, either to himself or his children, may assist a remote remainder man in tail in suffer ing a recovery without destroying the contingent remainder. If a person having either an estate tail or an estate for life, with a contingent re mainder to his children (but, as not unfrequeatly happens, it is doubful which), is desirous of barring his supposed estate tail by a recovery, but at the same time wishes to prevent the for feiture of his supposed life estate and the de, struction of the contingent remainder, a different contrivance, no less artificial, is resorted to. In recoveries of copyholds most of these preCautions are unnecessary. After the demandant has ob tained judgment in a recovery, a writ of seisin is sued out, to be executed by the Sheriff of the county where the lands lie, and he returns that he has executed the writ, and delivered seisin of the lands to the demandant. But this is a false return, for the writ is never executed, and seisin is never in fact delivered. So that while the law requires that the demandant shall recover against the actual tenant of the freehold, when he has recovered the lands, it fails in the final ohject of the action, namely, that of giving him pos session. Thus the suit is to commence with all the formalities of a real action, but to end with dispensing with the only object of those formalities, namely, to give to the demandant the lands sued for.
