The Common Law.

What is called the common law
is, in the United States, with som,
modification, the same as the ICON
mon law Of England" The phrase
means. in tact, ancient custom, as de-
!clared-by the 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 accord.
ing to tho general principles of justice.
The judge, in announcing his decision.
lays down a rule thai, under certain cir
cumstances.t a certain result follows.
This decision, II not reversed, becomes
a guide and rule for all inferior 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 to argue
a case, he searches through the volumes
of reports to find decisions upon SINH
lar cases. or course, there are rarely
two suits where the facts are entirely
alike, and consequently the lawyer on
n side undertakes 10 prove that the
decisions cited do, and the opposing
lawyer that they do not, apply to the
case on trial.
The phrase usually employed to show
that the common-law principle is an
cient is whereof the memOr of mar
runneth not to the contrary"-that is 10
say, nobody can prove that at any form
er time the law or custom wa differ
emit.
The common law governs only when
there is no special act. A statute
supersedes or reverses common law.
Indeed, the statute is usually passed for
that purpose; and when il is repealed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 mother coun-
try, they retained the old laws, and
built the new mes upon them. The
New York constitution of TIT adopted
a law within that State the common
law OF England and, the statutes also
MS they stood on q certain date, so far as
they were applicable TO the new State.
AS our national customs have do )
parted further and further from those Of
Great Britain, the common law Of the
two countries has become different.
Yet, even now, there are no very wide
differences, and decisions by English
judges are often cited In our courts as
establishing the law.
