every case these Losses fell upon long esta.
blished banks, most of whose directors had
died in the course Of ycars, and whose fund.,
having fallen under the control Of single
individual, proved a temptation too strong
10 be resisted. The inquiry instituted by
Parliament into the general condition Of
these institutions revealed tho singular fact
that largo portion Of them was under the
irresponsible control Of men in trade, who

private business, With only nominal re-
siraint from b.ard of directors. III this

no loan whatever can be made, the result

has denied them anything like general circula-

From the Boston Courier
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we Judge, long felt
desideTatufn-a prompt cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January 1851. This is unparal-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting
Westminster s here brought two years nearer to
us than own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with It,
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes as as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 10 the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal fntsliigencr.
