THE JUDGMENT OF LORD DEA'MAN THE CASE OF O'CONNELL AND OTHERS AGAINST THE QUEEN. as delivered in the House of Lords, Sept. 4, 1844 ; with Notes, a Preface, and Additional Observations. Edited by David Leahy, Eaq., one of the Counsel in the Cause. London, IL Butterworth. [Continued from The Sun of Oct. 29.] The important passages of the judgment not actually addressed by the Chief Justice to the Lords, but by him committed to writing, with the original intention of incorporating them into the address actually de livered, are comprised in the following " Additional Observations:" — [I had originally intended to distribute a portion at least of the following matter through the preceding part of the publication, in the form of notes, appended to the several parts of the text to which they be respectively appropriate. But as this proceeding would have the effeetV interrupting the continuity of perusal and dis turbing-the univ' of impression, I have thought it better to pre sent the matter altogether, in its present form and situation, cfeelirfg convinced that every person who is capable of understanding the nature, and estimating the importance,_of.the subject, will agree with me in think ing that these " Additional Observations" are in no degree inferior to the judgment itself, either in respect to the cogency of the argument—the lucid exposition of the subject—the aptness of the illustrations, and above all, in the dignified earnestness of the zeal with which the Noble and Learned Lord has vindicated the sanctity of the administration of justice, and preserved to all the subjects of the realm, the ancient and constitutional re dress against all occurrences, whether intended or acci dental, which could have the effect of contaminating the purity and in - partiality of trial by jury.] ‘" The challenge was demurred to by the Attorney- General, and the demurrer allowed, after argument, by the Court. The challenge was overruled, whether cor rectly or not, we are now to inquire—a question of the highest and most extensive consequence, as affecting jury trials both in England and Ireland, the statutable enactments under which they take place in both parts of the United Kingdom being substantially the same. "In both the clerk of the peace originates the process by which juries are constituted. In England he sends a precept to the chief constable, who calls the parish officers into action, and then returns to the petty sessions lists of persons liable to set ee. The petty sessions make from them a general list, and hand it over to the quarter sessions, whose officer transmits it, when it is revised and settled, to the sheriff. In Ireland the cess-collectors are the persons required to send such list to the quarter sessions, i.e., in the county of the city of Dublin, to the recorder, whose duty is to reform and marshal the lists, and send them to the sheriff. In each part of the United Kingdom the sheriff makes from these lists a book, called the Sheriff's Book, whence all the juries to try issues during the ensiling year are to be drawn in the manner pointed out by the Act. The challenge here is, that the recorder did not send to the sheriff the lists which he himself had awarded and adjudged to be the correct lists, but that between his revision of them and his transmission of them to the sheriff, sixty names had been by some unknown person fraudulently withdrawn from the lists, and that the book, from which the panel was afterwards returned, was defective by the omission of these sixty names. " A doubt appears to have been entertained whether, under the present jury system, the proceeding by chal lenge to the array is still a part of the law. In some form it is essential to trial by jury. It is a part of our ancient law, and it is clear that it has not been abolished by express enactment. " Whether a privilege of such great value could be taken away by implication, might admit of grave deli beration. But the intention to repeal without substituting any similar security is hardly to be believed. Penalties are imposed on all the successive officers employed on this duty for the neglect of any portion of it, but there is no provision that the defective lists shall stand good not withstanding. The great object of improving the mode of appointing juries was undoubtedly to pv-ify the prac tice, and prevent all tampering, and suspicion of tamper ing, with the construction of those imnortant bodies. But if the present doubt is well foundea, the most im pure proceeding might pass unquestioned ; the most corrupt packing of juries might prevail. For though in the present instance no suspicion is felt as to the motives, this argument goes the length of depriving the parties of all redress, however criminal the design may have been. This question is not, however, open to speculation. The Act of 6 Geo. IV., c. 50, which is our Jury Act, and that of 3 & 4 Will. IV., c. 91, which is the Irish Jury Act, repealed certain parts of the former law, and left the rest: each having expressly abolished the writ of attaint, and certain causes of challenge to the polls. refers to, recognises, and thereby preserves, the right of challenge to the array, the former in its 28th section, the latter in its 21st " From admitting such challenge for the cause stated in the present case, great inconvenience is however pre dicted. The objection being to the book of jurors for the current year, is supposed to prevent the summoning any good jury for that year. The Chief Justice observed, This is not the case of neg. v. O'Connell alone ; it is the case of all parties who have issues to be tried during the period for which the book is to be in force. The Court cannot set aside that array without setting aside the book itself from which all juries must come.' " This doctrine seems open to many observations. 1. Whatever inconvenience the law produces must be borne by those whose duty it is to administer the law. The excessive inconvenience of one construction of an am biguous Act may furnish a strong argument in favour of another construction equally consistent with its words: but it cannot introduce words which are not there, nor a construction of which no words which are there are sus ceptible. 2. Taking the supposed inconvenience at the highest, what are we to say of subjecting parties, through any misconduct, negligence, or default, in official persons, to a trial by a different jury from that which the law provides for them. But 3. The incon venience imagined is a chimera, if the objection be of such a nature as to prove that the book called the Jurors' Book appears to have no title to be so styled. And this appears to me to be its true result ; for if the sheriff has not received the book described and required by the Act, the Jury Acts of both countries have met this in convenience by express enactment. Provided,' says the 14th section of the Act for England, and in the same form the 11th of the Act for Ireland, that if there shall be no jurors' book in existence for the current year, it shall be lawful to return jurors from the jurors' book for the year preceding.' And if this construction of the proviso be considered doubtful, still, 4. it may be ob served, that the supposition of the Court's setting aside the book generally, when they give effect to a challenge of the array in a particular case, by reason of the imper fection of such book, can hardly be maintained. Other parties may not challenge, notwithstanding the defect, and the book actually sent by the sheriff, if unchallenged must stand (rood ; or they might be unable to prove the facts, or might have waived the objection, or be estopped from insisting upon it. " Another doubt is expressed—whether challenge lies to the array after a special jury has been struck,—a doubt, I presume, resting on the principle that a party who attends the striking of the special jury must be taken to waive all objection to the book whence the forty eight names are drawn. But a parenthesis in section the 25th of the Act for Ireland, literally transcril ed from the 32d of that of England, expressly contemplates the non-attendance of the parties, and provides what shall be done in their absence. Now the present record gives no information whether the parties attended or not. If the Attorney-General had, instead of demurring, pleaded their attendance as a waiver, the traversers might have replied in denial of the fact, or might have explained it in some way which would prevent its opera tion as a waiver. But perhaps it is sufficient for this point —that a challenge lies to the array after a special jury has been struck—to rely on the direct authority of Lord Tenterden, and the whole Court of King's Bench, in It. v. Edmonds. " Those who argue against the right of challenge to the array must be content to take up a position ever regarded by our Courts with the utmost jealousy—that here is a right which cannot be effectuated—a wrong without redress. Remedy or redress there is none pre tended, however defective the panel may be, or from whatever cause or motive the defect has arisen, unless it can be obtained through the old and well-known con stitutional proceeding of challenge to the array. " But an opinion has in some way grown up, that the array can be challenged for no cause but one—partiality, or, as our books phrase it, unindifferency, in the sheriff. Now, though this was probably the most ordinary ground for such challenge, and though on conviction the sheriff would be punished by the Court, whose officer he was, it is obvious that the object of the party challenging must have been his own security, much more than the sheriff's punishment. his security is a lawful jury. Unindifferency in the sheriff might deprive him of it ; but so might other faults. Unindifferency is plainly stated by Lord Coke as an example ; he adds the snore general word default,' and constantly repeats both in describing the effect of the challenge. If then the sheriff, or other officer (i.e., such other officer as may by law be clothed with his duty of returning juries), should transmit to the Court a panel from a list out of which it ought not to have been taken ; as if he should insert names of persons having no qualification within his bailiwick, here is a default, which would support the challenge. Is it not equally a default to make up the panel from a book which omits a whole class that ought to have been there ? If the law enjoins him to make to general list, composed of lists A , B , and C he thinst pro per , and select his panel from that genera l list,but per to compose his general list from . lists tmt A:a in nd vo l I3voo less is this no default ? It may be venial—it blame to him than to some of his subordinates, its and ofthe Court may properly ref use to exercise power punishing the officer ; b ut surel y the party, who has duly complained of the evil consequence to himself and his own security for a fair trial, cannot justly have that unlawful jury forced upon him. " Still it is urged that the sheriff must be the party in INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society Is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,297/. ; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Polities. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001., the whole being in "a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. WILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. 61 A, Moorgate-street.

AN OLD STREET NEWLY NAMED.—Cateaton - street has been named Gresham-street, and the end houses libelled uccordjngly, i ns uring d TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULA 1.1)17.E.' RT. E EN TS lA'S ERI'ED in ALL THE TH REE PAPERS, Morning NOON and Night, thereby PION, at ONE' CHARGE. qt Fl IT, O'CLOCK, .11; Tilv.:G . for the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINA default, and here it is said to be the recorder, with this addition, that the recorder is made by the act a judicial officer entrusted to examine the lists of jurors —to strike off such therein enumerated as may not be qualified to serve, or may be disabled by mental weakness or bodily infirmity —to insert names improperly excluded—to reform the descriptions, and all this upon notice and inquiry —to correct this list, to allow and sign the same. Herein that high officer is said to be amenable to no question er , e h en e s ct r ieo a ni u : t d h be o yd r i u ti he , , da a tleh n ne d gee s o u on b sr j e e go c t ut he e t n o rcv vei n st ohe that no h o n n e os t e r t o r l aca v w tesr h s a oe t fr e v et e ha r ne . recorder. In this I cordially concur ; nay, on this I found the strongest reason for questioning what has been done in- the present instance. A twofold duty in the recorder is stated by the Chief Justice with accuracy and precision. His Lordship says, The recorder has been selected by the Legislature as the judicial deter miner of cases of this description. It is a high privi lege with which he is so invested, and with it is in a great measure connected the flow and fountain of justice, and the purity of the administration of the law.' But he was left without control, and there may be very good reason for making his decisions final and beyond appeal. Ia this case the precepts were issued and returned by the parish officers ; the hour was appointed for the in vestigation ; it took place, and the recorder made his revision, and, having pronounced his decision, it was irre visable, and could not be reversed by any one. After that was done, another duty was imposed u p on hi m, t h at is, that he shall make, or cause to be made, a new list, arranging the persons according to rank and property ; and the Act directs that in the newly-arranged lists he shall include all persons who, on a previous revision, have substantiated their claims before him. But it is to be observed that no penalty is imposed on the recorder for omitting to do this or any other duty which the Act imposes on him. There is no imputation in this chal lenge that the omission which is said to have taken place on the part of the recorder, was the consequence of im proper conduct, malversation, or corruption ; none was imputed to him. But it Was said, the Act required he should make out the new lists according to rank and property, classing the persons according to such order as was required by the Act, and that he should do so with respect to all whose claims should be allowed. 'I do not know,' the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland further remarks. how far this is to be carried ; but if I understand the argument right, they push it to this extent :—first, he is to revise the lists delivered to him by the collector, and he then is to make a new list according to rank and property.' Mr. Justice Crampton also dwells on the same distinction between the two branches of the recorder's functions. It is true that both these learned judges contend for the proposition, that in mak ing the new list the recorder performs an act as strictly judicial as that of revising the lists already made and placed before him for correction. But I venture to think that the very statement which I have cited proves the contrary. To examine the lists—to insert and erase names—to correct and allow—all these are judicial acts, binding on all the world. But when all this is done, and the lists allowed and signed, then the recorder is directed by the Act to cause one general list to be made out therefrom, to deliver the same to a clerk of the peace, who shall cause the same to be truly and fairly copied in a book, and deliver the same book to the sheriff,' &c. " Feeling as I do the utmost respect for those learned judges, I still cannot bring myself to doubt that these duties, latterly described, are exclusively ministerial. " The challenge complains that they have not been performed. Far from asserting that the recorder has been guilty of a single error in any judgment which he may have pronounced, the complaint is, that his judg ment, which is irrevisable and without appeal, has been set at nought by the fraudulent substitution of another ; that the stream of justice has thereby been obstructed in its flow, and the administration of the law rendered essentially different to the parties traversing from what it ought to have been. " That the recorder is clear of all improper motive, all parties are agreed. But if, after examination and inquiry—after correcting, allowing, and signing one set of lists, he copied them into a general list with an im portant omission, I can as little doubt that in that minis terial proceeding he committed a default. The only view which can (as I think) be taken inconsistent with this is, that this duty is imposed by the Act on the clerk of the peace ; but this would still more clearly evince that the omission could not possibly be placed beyond question as the judicial act of the recorder. " A case cited for the Crown on this part of the argu ment appears to me to afford a powerful illustration on the other side. It occurred in Lord Tenterden's time in the King's Bench in England. The Court disallowed a challenge to the array of the panel returned by the master of the Crown-Office, refusing to permit the act of their own officer to be questioned. It was his judicial act. But supposing that, when he had in the exercise of his judgment made up a certain list, some other person had altered that list, and returned a different one to the Court—can we believe that would have been held sacred and unquestionable ? I rather think that in such a case the language of the Court would have been—' A judi cial act has been done ; but some inferior agent, or some fraudulent intruder, has sent to us an entirely different panel : our respect for the judicial act is a conclusive reason for our rejecting that which falsely assumes its character.' " Another objection to this challenge occurred to Mr. Justice Crampton—that the panel was spoiled by a stranger. What is ground of challenge to the array according to law ?' asks the learned judge. He answers, ' A challenge founded on partiality in the officers. You may challenge the return for fraud or mistake in the officer, but fraud in a stranger will not give the Court jurisdiction.' I certainly had thought that a fraudulent interference with the process of the Court would have given jurisdiction over the offender's person, and, still more clearly, over the document which he had mutilated.* If not, it should seem that a stranger, striking out of the reduced panel of twenty-four, any number of names he chose, and introducing the names of others, might im pose this jury of his own fabrication as the twelve men appointed by law for the trial. But if the stranger's act was adopted by the sheriff, or any other officer entrusted to return the jury, this would be the act of such officer, in conformity to what is laid down by Lord Coke, in 1 Inst. 156, from an authority in the Year Books. " For my part, I do not understand how the right to challenge the array can rest on any other principle than the right of her Majesty's subjects to have their interests decided by juries duly constituted according to law. That jury, which was returned from partiality, or im perfect through any default in the sheriff, was not con stituted. On that officer, and on the bailiffs of franchises ho performed analogous functions, the whole duty was cast in ancient times. By the recent Act it is divided with other officers ; but if the panel is rendered essen tially imperfect by any one of these, when not exercising a judicial capacity, the subject loses the protection which the law would have afforded him, and the principle of challenge to the array applies. " During the discussion, I heard a suggestion thrown out—from what quarter I do not now remember—to meet the argument arising from the absence of all other remedy. The party was said to be at liberty to apply by motion to the Court. I confess that lamat a loss to find it just or reasonable to strip a party of a well known constitutional process, fully adequate to correct the wrong and prevent the mischief, and refer him to the discretion of any Court, exercised on facts brought before it in the unsatisfactory form of written depo,i dons, where the accused officer has the benefit of swear ing last, when questions of fact would be withdrawn from the tribunal established for settling them, and the law would be laid down without appeal. In the present case, however, we collect, that such application was actually made, and refused. I must con jecture. that the facts now admitted on demurrer were not well proved by the affidavits ; for if they were taken to he true, I can hardly conceive a stronger case for setting aside a jury panel, than that which exists in the present case. " After some little hesitation it is at length broadly maintained that no wrong has been done, no right violated, and that the traversers have had as much justice done them, as if no malpractice with the list had ap peared. Both the learned judges, who agree with the Chi( f Justice in his conclusion, rely mainly, though he does not, on this pint. The venerable senior puisne judge admits that 700 or 800 names ought to have been returned ; he remarks that the mind would be startled by a book containing no more than twenty or thirty ;' he adds, however, that here 717 were returned ; a suf ficient number to select a fair and impartial jury from.' Mr. Justice Crampton adds : There is an abundant number of names on the panel to form a jury from which a fair trial may be obtained.' lle immediately after con cludes his judgment thus: It may be a hardship on the traversers, or it may be a hardship on the Crown ; but the principle of law is of universal application, that a particular injury must give way to a general inconveni ence. No p:aticular injury is pointed out: general in convenience is pointed out, because, by pronouncing a judgment in favour of this challenge, we pronounce that there can be no valid trial either by special or common jury in 1844.' " One leading consideration, then, which led the Court to overrule the challenge was, that the actual list, whe ther rightly or wrongly returned, was numerous enough to promise a fair trial. I cannot discover what the relative numbers were. Mr. Justice Burton's state ment, taken literally, would show an entire list of 717, and a deduction of 60 from the special jury-list alone. But I should presume that the county of the city of Dublin contains so large a number of qualified jurors, that those qualified for special juries could not be fewer that 717. Even on this latter supposition it seems difficult to be quite sure that the reduction of threosoore—the proffer of so limited a choice—was not itself an injury. It is said that ' na particular injury is stated' in the * " Fraud is an extrinsic collateral act, which vitiates the most solemn proceedings of Courts of Justice. Lord Coke says that it avoids all judicial acts, ecclesiastical or temporal."—Unanimous opinion of the judges delivered by Lord Chief Justice de Grey in the 'louse of Lords in the Duchess of Kingston's case, Smith's Lead.

There are no materials on which the juig rsent of the triers or of the Court could be OXri CINNI The whole subject lies beyond the reach of human spe culation. But as long as men differ in their opinions, understandings, and feelings, and so long as these in fluence their decision on disputed points of morality, expediency, and general policy, so long must it be at least uncertain whether the extrusion of a tolerably large proportion of persons from the body to which they belong may not materially affect the character of its ge neral composition, and vary the chances of their arriving at such or such a conclusion. Here, if the true list had been entered in the sheriff's book, it might have hap pened that not one of the gentlemen who tried this case would have been suffered to enter the jury -box. The joy might have consisted altogether of individuals com prised in the omitted sixty, and might have brought to the inquiry such sentiments and habits of thinking as might have insured the acquittal of all the persons under accusation. " To disclaim anything like an opinion that this would .have happened, or a suspicion of the fairness of those by whom the cause was tried, cannot be necessary. The( want of all opportunity and power of arriving at any conclusion upon such a matter drives me to say that them is no alternative between a list duly formed according to the Act, and one not so formed ; no middle course be tween what is unlawful and what is right ; no equivalent or substitute for that security for a lair trial which the law has carefully prov . ided. _ _ tiZ~ 2__A' / " The strictness which would vitiate the whole for 8 single omission, was not formerly considered as a re dual° ad absurdum, but was acted upon as a ruling prin ciple. Nor will this jealousy appear excessive, if we weigh the opposite inconveniences. The question, ra. ther tauntingly thrown out, Will you set aside the whole panel because one name has been omitted ?' is surely well enough rebutted by the other question, Will you hold it good though nine-tenths should be omitted ?"There is no great inconvenience in exacting perfect fidelity and accuracy from ministerial officers, who have to perform an easy duty, of incalculable im portance to the public. Glance at the inconvenience of dispensing with those qualities in their returns. At best, according to the learned judges, the Court must task itself with the inquiry, whether the number to which a panel may have been improperly reduced, was large enough to promise a fair trial, under all the varying circumstances of each particular case, without any means whatever of ascertaining the fact. But the ne gligence thus sanctioned and encouraged might be assumed as the cloak of fraud, and would infallibly incur the suspicion, and fill the minds of the people with all the distrust and discontent which, we can all remember, to have hung upon the special jury system but a few years back. " Further, it was objected, that the making up the lists without these sixty names, and the omission of them from the special jury list, is not averred to have been without the consent of the challengers, but only the fraudulent omission of them from the paper par porting to be the general list, and the array of the panel from that paper. But that twofold averment, with the fact that the special jury list was made from these mate rials, appears to me sufficient ; and when this is averred to be done to the wrong and prejudice of the defendants, I cannot think that there is any presumption of their privity requiring to be rebutted by them in pleading. " One more remark was, that on the challenge, as pleaded, the Court could give no award ; principally, as I understood, because there is no ground for punishing the sheriff or other officer. But I apprehend that this notion has already been shown to be a fallacy, and the same award must be pronounced as would have been pronounced under the old law, in respect to the party challenging, whose prayer is that the bad array may be set aside, not that the officer should be punished. If a venire facias de novo could be issued, the lists signed and purloined may possibly be by this time faithfully copied and restored, and may compose a good jurors' book ; or if, for want of them, there is none for 1844, recourse may be had to that of the former year. A challenge may not be taken, or the facts on which it is founded may possibly admit of some answer. But if from neglect of duty in the officers, or any of them, it should still remain impossible to bring a good jury into the box, I cannot see that that ought to compel the accused to submit to be tried by a bad one. " Lastly, I must observe, that this challenge to the array bears no resemblance to that which was demurred to and overruled by a late special commission at Mon mouth. The ground of challenge there was a general imputation of indifferency in the sheriff, unsustained by any fact whatever. The Court dial not hold any other doctrine than that such general terms amounted to no thing, and required no answer. " Thus have I set down what occurred to me from ' recollection and my notes of the argument in the House of Lords. I have since that time again read over the judgments on this point given at Dublin, and am much fortified in my own views by Mr. Justice Perrin's con currence and reasoning, while I cannot feel that there is the least weight in the opposite argument of the majority of the judges. The only mode in which I think it pos sible to resist his conclusion is by finding some technical meaning of the word array—as that it imports nothing but the sheriff's act in selecting the names that make up the panel. Even this restricted sense would appear to me not inconsistent with the idea that an array from an illegal list cannot be legal. " If I am asked how many omissions and interpolations will suffice to vitiate a return, I might perhaps decline the question as irrelevant, because the number actually omitted is at all events so considerable as to disturb the identity of the return. But I would decline to answer it for another reason—the impossibility of tracing the operation of the faulty proceeding. The fact may be that the whole jury of twelve would have come out of the rejected sixty ; or the truth may be, when one only is excluded, that that one entering the jury-box as one of the twelve to try the issues, would, by his influence with the other eleven, cause a different verdict. But such truth can never be established by evidence, nor can it be made the subject of any rattonal speculation. The law, regardless of the calculations which may be formed in various quarters upon these doubtful probabilities, affords a certain protection to all whose interests are to depend on the verdicts of juries, by cautiously providing the manner in which these are to be composed ; and it,` this protection is not secured, the parties have none."

It appears from the communication made by the Minister of Finance on the 26th of this month, that the state of the conversion up to that day was as follows : The entire capital of different kinds of na tional debt, at five and four-and-a-half per cent. which has been comprehended in the measure of conversion or repay- Florins. ment, was The amount of the capital converted is There remains to be converted 151,837,000 Deducting from this sum the capital which the Government has at its disposal, and - which will be probably employed in the conversion 51,000,000 It is easy to see, that by converting or exchanging, the end that was proposed will be attained. Thus forty millions of money and seven months time have sufficed to convert a capital of nearly 250,000,000, and we may hope that the entire conversion wiil be soon effected. The repayment and exchange of the 5 or 4:1 per cent., and the reduction of the interest of the 250,000,000 already converted, will doubtless have a salutary effect on the budget of 1844, so that the deficiency which appeared in that budget will be much diminished, and perhaps the resources which will e Financecommuni cated the Government has derived from the volu n t ary l oan make it disappeartehT.6entirely.e2l‘lil—nistnerthof s ng of the Second Tlia er particulars r e l a ti ve to the con version.

Interest on the Deposits will be allowed at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, from the time of payment into the Bankers' hands.

SIR,—I have read the " Notes" issued by the authority of this Company, and they have afforded me much amusement by their specious plausibility. As, however, they contain unfounded state ments, gratuitously advanced, in disparagement of undertakings which have already obtained the cordial support of the public; and are filled with exaggerations and arguments calculated to mislead those who are unacquainted with the true state of the facts; it is only right to make the public aware of the real character of the undertaking, In support of which these notes have been published. The line of the Midland Junction runs from Perth to Forfar, where, by the Prospectus, it is promised a junction will be formed with the Aberdeen Railway. The Prospectus farther states that "the district is fertile and populous, and studded with towns and villages, and is the seat of important manufactures." It is intended that the two existing lines in Strathmore, namely, " the Newtyle and Coupar-Angus" and the " Newtyle and Glam. miss" Railways, shall form a part of the Midland Junction line. These are to constitute the back.bone of this new line of railway communication, from which very great benefits are expected to flow to the Shareholders of the new Company. The Shareholders of the old, it is understood, are to get new stock for their interest in the existing lines. Again, immense advantages are promised to the new undertaking from its joining "the Dundee and New tyle Railway." These are the great inducements held out for the formation of the Midland Junction, and it is my wish candidly to examine into the different advantages referred to. 1. The proposed line is to be carried through a district where there is no traffic to support a railway. There is no trade, no com. merce, and no adequate population upon the route. Cuupar. Angus is an unimportant village, and has a population of 2,745. Newtyle is a still less important place, the population being about 465 ; Glammiss, 556 ; and Forfar, 7,981. There is no direct coach from Perth to Forfar; such a thing was never thought of; and, I am sure, were one started, it would not be continued for a week. The Defiance coach from Edinburgh to Aberdeen passes along this line of road, but, were the passengers by it from Perth to Forfar abstracted, they would not amount to two per day. There are no mills or manufactories on the line ; it is a purely agricul. tural district, thinly populated. 2. The" Aberdeen Railway" is not to join the Scottish Midland Junction Railway at Forfar, as stated in the Prospectus. At one time the Aberdeen line was intended to terminate there, but Mr. Cubitt, of London, was selected as referee to decide upon the best line to the North ; and at.er examining the district, and investigating the subject, he has recommended that the line should not be car. ried by Forfar, and away from the seats of trade, commerce, and population, but should be brought by the large manufacturing towns upon the coast, thus joining Aberdeen, Montrose, Arbroath, and Dundee (which contain alone a population of 150,000), and thence to Edinburgh by the lines of railway through Fife. This recommendation has been wisely adopted by the Aberdeen Rail. way Company, whereby they have now got the cordial support of these large towns. The Midland Junction must now, therefore, end at Forfar. 3. The advantages expected to arise to the Midland Junction from getting the Newtyle and Glammiss and Newtyle and Coupar. Angus lines merged into the New Company, are more than ques tionable. It is now seven years since those lines were opened for traffic, and they have never paid the Shareholders one single far. thing in the shape of dividend. On the contrary, the gentlemen of the Committee on these lines are under personal obligation for a large debt, which will be readily handed over to the Midland Junction as an additional advantage. A meeting of the Share. holders of the old lines hes been held, and they, as may naturally be supposed, readily agreed to give over their works, and take new stock for the amount—some of them shrewdly observing, " We cannot be worse." To show the utter insignificance of the traffic upon the Newtyle and Glammiss and Coupar-Angus lines, which are to form the stay of the New Company, neither of them has been able to maintain a locomotive engine, or even one between them. This fact, to parties versant in railway statistics, requires no comment. 4. The advantages anticipated from the junction with the New. tyle line are equally " imaginary." This line is ten miles in length, having three inclined planes. with three stationary engines and a tunnel. It has been open for about twelve years, and has never yielded any dividend to the Shareholders, and is considered to be a total loss. Its shares can be got at Is. each. The debt upon it is somewhere about 30,0001., and the Midland Junction will, it is believed, be made welcome to it at 10s. per pound. These statements I would not have hazarded had I thought they could be gainsaid; but I am sure there is no member of the Provisional Committee of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway who can controvert one single fact I have stated. I invite them to do so. This scheme has been before the public for many months, with out even an attempt to allocate the stock, and in this quarter it has met with almost no pecuniary support, being looked upon as chime rical, and will be allowed to fall to the ground, without the aid of capital from a distance.

The great attention which, for the last fifteen years, has deservedly been given in this country to Law Reform, has led to man 3 important measures ; and it must be admitted that the Legislature is now sufficiently alive to the defects of the present system. Public men of all parties agree in promoting the improvement of the law, and in every recent session of Parliament, Acts have been passed making various alterations. Much, however, doubtless remains to be done, but it is of the utmost consequence that tl's present strong feeling in favour of law amendment should be carried into the right direction, and that all measures h av i ng f or the i r des i gn any c hange in the law, should be submitted t o th e strictest exam i nat i on. O n e of the main objects of the " Law R ev i ew " Is to facilitate the discussloon of all suggestions and reform s o f thi s nature, to promo t e th o se which appear to be beneficial, and t o oppose those which are cons id ere d to be of an opposite tendency. In en d eavouring to give e ff ec t t o these views, all questions of party politi cs w i ll be avoided. The presen t seems to be also a proper tim e f or establishing a work which s h a ll n ot only fur nish to the prof ess i on a full and accurate account of the great altera tions which have recently been made in the law, but facilita te their adoption in practice. Earls number will contain articles of t his nature. It is also th e i n t en ti on, every quarter, to give a compen di o us account of all the leadi ng eases which have been repor t e d In the pre ceding three months. M emo i rs or notices of a ll em i ne nt lawyers, who have In recent times adorned the bench and the bar, will be given. Reviews of all important legal publications form an essential part of the work. Parliamentary papers and reports of Committees on the subject of the law will be abstracted. Attention will. be paid to foreign and comparative jurisprudence when the limited space of the IteNiew admits of articles of this nature. So much as to the plan and objects of the present publication it has been thought necessary to give ; but it will be the wish and Intention of its Proprietors to add to, rather than to diminish, the present list of its contents. The numbers NN be regularly published in November, February, May, and August, in every year. Price ss. The first Number will appear early In November.
