LAW REFORM IN MISSOURI.

Among the various attempts that have beer
made in different states TO Teiortfi The rules
Of practice in the courts, mono perhaps is
more sweeping than the law Of Missouri men
Toned in The following from the St. Louis
Union:
"At the last session Of the Legislature an
act was passed, providing that no special
plea shall bo allowed in any case, and that
The following shall be tho general issue in
ali civil cases 'The defendant comes and
defends the plaintiff Is demand The court
Of common Pleas enforced this law in un ac-
lion Of asSumpSit few days ago, and we
hope other courts will do likewise"
II is seen that when a case is brought 10
trial IN this way, there may be many things
which one party is bringing evidence TO
prove, while the otlicr was willing to admit
them, resting his cause upon some other
point. In this way there mus! arise some
unnecessary expense and frequently much
uncertainty. To avoid this the system Of
special pleading was used, the object of
which is 10 discover Just what difference is
between the parties in their statemsnt ofths
u d'hoi "' oii'
But this system has become encountered
with such mass of uselcs verbiage, and di-
vcrsity of forms, which are used 10 delay
or defeat the administration Of Justice, that
in some states as in Missouri, the whole has
been abolished, and tits left entirely to the
examination Of the evidence TO discover what
arc the real merits of the case. These ex
uemcs, of multitude ofrules, and none at
all, are cqualIG Objectionable. A middle
course is better.
Special pleading, reduced to strict sim
plcity and precision, will serve 10 hasten
rather than retard the ends of Justice 10
take away all that is useless in the rules OF
pleading, and leave them as they should be,
only the simple means of discovering the
truth, is an immense labor. But if il were
accomplished it would be greater benefit
10 society Than most any other reform now
needed. The New York Commission arc
iiming at this noble object, and we hepo
hey may succeed Ohio Press.
