INCORPORATION OF LIVERY COMPANIES, 1327.
—The reign of Edward 111. has been described "as the
great dawn of the fine arts and of commerce" in this coun-
try. One of the first acts of this monarch was to incorporate
trading societies in London, composed of English merchants.
In the first year of his reign he gave birth to three of those
great trading fraternities, which from generally assuming a
distinctive dress or livery, came to be denominated livery
companies; and the first three incorporated—the goldsmiths,
the merchant tailors, and the skinners--define pretty tan-
gibly what were at that period generally regarded as the
most important domestic trades of England.—Cciffer's
Port and Trade of London.
DUMB JUSTICE,—In the French law reports for
he end of February, 1860, stands a report of a case before
the High Court of Revision, with these headings in italics
—" Judicial error—two innocent men condemned to hard
labour—their deaths in the hulks—condemnation of the
guilty—prohibition to publish the report—appeal in cassa-
tion"—i.e. revision. Four or five years after the burglary
—unhappily more than four or five years too late—and
after the innocent had died of the sufferings due only to the
guilty in the month of February, 1860, three men, named
Jambon, 011ivier, and Mallon, and a woman called Widow
Sinquin, were clearly found guilty of the burglary com-
mitted in the house of the Guigoures family, and wore
justly condemned to the identical penalties under which
the two innocent men had died. But when trying and
punishing the guilty, the assize court of Finistere, which
had permitted the publication of the evidence against the
innocent, prohibited the publication of any report of their
proceedings. The power appears to have been conferred
upon the tribunals by a clause in a decree issued by the
Prince-President of the Republic, on the 17th Feb., 1852.
Oddly enough, certain of the guilty re isoners appealed
against the sentence which condemned them, and one of
the pleas of their appeal was, that there had been an
unconstitutional prohibition of the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the court which tried them. Why padolicity
was more inconvenient in 1560 than in 1554 the court did
not say ; yet not one paragraph, sentence, or line, of the
evidence establishing the innocence of Baffet and Louarn
was allowed to be published. The only amends made wan
the following sentence from the speech of the imperial pro-
curator :—" The real criminals are to-day in the bands
id
justice. They await the chastisement they have so just
merited, The deaths of Louarn and Baffet make it impos-
sible to repair the judicial error of which they were
dtihcet
victims ; but the deletes of this trial, and the new
ver
of the jury, will be a brilliant and solemn restorationn of
their memory." Very brilliant, and very so l :fru
