Legal Codes.

Countries which donot supplement
their legislation with what we call
common law, are governed by a
code" This is a collection of laws
and principles. to which all eases, as
they arise, are referred. France is
governed by the Code Napoleon,
which forms the basis of legislation
in a general way iii some other Euro
pean countries.
Our State of Louisiana, which came
to us by purchase, has always been
governed for the most part by code,
which was modified from the Code
Napoleon. But the English common
law is also in force in that State.
The result of living under the com
mon law is generally satisfactory,
because, as a rule, the judges of both
England and America have been men
of wisdom and justice. But they
have not all been of equal intelli-
gence and integrity, and their work
Is, of course, not all perfect.

In Jail ut Last

Rochester plumes itself upon a
woman with a history" She was
the daughter of wealthy grain
dealer of Toronto, from whom she
received small fortune. Married
to young merchant in st. Catha-
rines, she left him, removing all the
available funds she could carry
away. At Buffalo, whittier she went,
she lived q fast life, and is said to
have been married. again in that
city. She first went to Rochester in
1854, engaged suite of rooms, and
was seen upon the streets daily.
She had a carris ge ut her order and
servants to do her bidding. From
1861 To 1869 she was absent from
the city, having squandered her
money. She went to Cleveland,
where she enjoyed life as she had in
Rochester. Her carriage was at the
door when she wanted it; servants
went and came, and jewelry and fine
dresses were abundant Pleasures
failed at last and false stimulants
were resorted to. She sought relief
by taking opium. Returning to
Rochester she lived very quietly for
a time, but soon ascertained that she
had only to touch the wire and
money would come from Cleveland.
She telegraphed and the old life of
extravaganza was renewed. She at
times would buy s100 or 500
worth of goods a day, only to give
them away. At one hotel she was
noted for her iberality to the SER
wants, to whom she gave dresses and
jewelry without regard to their cost.
She is supposed to have spent about
$4,000 in a little over two years.
The end came at last, the Cleveland
fund failing. The hotel was left,
and poorer quarters taken. Then
she began to buy right and left
without paying for anything, and
now she is in Jail awaiting trial.
"Yes," she says, Il have taken opi-
un for wears. / use two ounces a
day now, and have for some time.
The doctors say it is enough TO kill
me, but cannot stop it. ! went to
the cure at Dansville, where tired
to break the habit by taking small
er quantity; but it was no use. The
struggle was worse than the effects
of the opium, and | left the cure: /

ing the situation, he and his men
had moved around SO as to secure an
advantage, and Raleigh's capture was
the result.
When the rascal found his senses
he was terribly taken back, and
cursed enough for whole Flanders

The Common Law.

What is called the common law
Is, in the United States with some
modification, the same as the COM
mon law of England. The phrase
means, in fact ancient customs, rs
declared BY courts. Suits are con-
tinually being brought, in which
arises some question of law or equity
that has never before arisen. There
is no act or statute law that applies
to it. The court then decides the
matter according to the general prin-
ciples of Justice
The Judge in announcing his de
cision, lays down a rule that, under
circumstances, a certain result fol-
lows. This decision, if not reversed,
becomes a guide and rule for all in
ferior courts, and usually for those
of equal dignity. The whole body
of such decisions forms the common
law of England.
when a lawyer is preparing 10 ar
que a case, he searches through
the volumes of reports to find de
cisions upon similar cases. OF
course. there are rarely two SUITS
where the facts are entirely alike,
and consequently the lawyer on one
side undertakes to prove that the de
cisions cited do, and that the oppOs-
ing lawyer that they do not, apply
to the case on trial.
The phrase usually employed to
show that the common law prinel-
pleis ancientis, whereof the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary"
-thatis to say, nobody can prove
that at any former time the law or
custom was different.
The common law governs only
when there is no special act. \ stat
ute supersedes or reverses common
law. Indeed, the statute IS usually
passed for that purpose; and when
! it is repealed the common law comes
into force again.
Our fathers came to this country
from England, and naturally brought
English laws and customs with them.
When they separated from the moth
er country, they retained the old
laws. and built the new ones upon
them. The New York constitution
of 1777 adopted as law within that
State the common law OF England,
and the statutes also as they stood
on a certain date, so far as they were
applicable to the new State
