THE ENGLISH LABOR LAWS CbM
MISSION.

The report OF the Commissioner an
pointed TO inquire into the working Of the
Master and Servant Act, of 1857, and the
Criminal Law Amendment Act, has -
Gently been issued. 1t occupies rs fo6o
pages, and is very carefully wor,lad
document, and is signed by all of the
Commissioners except Ak. Mcdonald.
Esq, NJ. P. for Stafford who dissents. a.
he wishes the law Of conspiracy Totally re-
pssssd, instead Of heinv modified, as the
other Commissioners suggest. -
The following is their conclusions
''As regards the Master and Servant
Act We recommend that In all simple
breaches Of contract the summary iuris-
dlction provided hy the Act should be di.
vested Of everything Of . penal character.
and be entirely Of . civil nature. That
the distinction between simple breach Of
contract and breach accompanied BY cir.
cumstances Of aggravation should be
maintained, and that il the latter should
remain subject to the same penalties as at
present, party complained against should
have the option of taking the case to the
quarter sessions to be tried by a jury; and
that, If the latter shall be made the sub
lect Of civil remedy only, the maximum Of
imprisonment should be increased to six
months.
That, as regards the Criminal Law
Amendment Act, the statute should re-
main unsltered, with the exception Of the
same provision ~ we propose with refer
ence TO cases arising under the 14th section
Of the Master and Servant Act, Of having
the case tried BY jury at the option Of
the party accused
As regards the law of conspiracy, we
recommend that the alteration we have
suggested should b made, but we are not
prepared to recommend any other altera-
ton in the Law.
