MTSCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The High Court of Justice Bill.

A letter by the Lord Chief Justice of England to
the Lord Chancellor embodies the opinions of the
judges with respect to the High Court of Justice
and Appellate Jurisdiction Bill. Their lordships
recommend a careful collation of the common and
equity laws, and an express provision as to what the
law shall be in each particular instance. They con-
sider the names and titles of the judges should
remain as at present, and that.questions of procedure
in court, especially the system of pleading, trial by
jury, and the examination of witnesses, should form
part of the bill. In their opinion the making
of rules should be left to the common law judges,
with a power vested in the High Court of altering
and modifying the procedure from time to time. They
think that the powers given by the bill to Ministers
of the Crown are unconsitutional, and they deprecate
any other power than that vested in the
High Court of Justice. Their lordships
express their readiness to concur in the
combination of all courts of common law and equity
into one common court, but think that if such courts
are to be held and transferred elsewhere, as
proposed by the bill, this course is unne-
cessary. Mr. Justice Willes, who did not
attend the meeting of the judges, expresses
his opinion in a separate memorandum, that
the general scope of the measure is highly beneficial,
as bringing the judges of all the superior courts
together into one great body for the administration
of justice.
The Prosecutions at Beverley.

The statement of the Attorney-General a few
nights ago, that a Statute existed which prevented
him from deferring the prosecution against Sir
Henry Edwards, inasmuch as no application for a
certificate of indemnity • had been made
to Mr. Baron Martin, is reviewed by the
Standard. That paper says one cannot but
regret that the learned gentleman, while clearly
defining his own helpless position, created by
the technical requirements of an Act of
Parliament, whereby he felt he had no alternative
but to commence a prosecution, forgot, as he evidently,
did, that Mr. Baron Martin had at the election peti-
tion tried in 1869 exculpated Sir Henry. In clear and
and unambiguous language the judge said "he
believed that the corruption at the election had
been purposely kept back from Sir Henry Edwards
and Captain Kennard, and he should have great plea-
sure in reporting that no corrupt practices had been
proved to have been committed with the knowledge
of those gentlemen." After so full and honourable an
exculpation from even the knowledge of corrupt prac-
tices by so high an authority as Mr. Baron Martin, what
would Sir Henry Edwards's friends have thought of
him, had he applied to the judge for a certificate of
indemnity from a criminal prosecution ? Adopting,
then, the test which the Attorney-General described
as the proper one, namely, the opinion of Mr. Baron
Martin, the Standard contends that the prosecution
ought not to be kept alive for another day.
