Regarding the legal status OF women in the
age OF the Antonine CRsars. our author quotes
from Sir Henry Sumner Maine tho observation
tnat. led by their theory OF natural law. the
jurisconsults had. at this time. ed the
equality OF the sexes as q principle OF their
code OF equity" The changes wrought at that
period in the legal status Of women may be
summed up in tho statement that whereas.
under the older Roman law. q woman at mar
riage came under the pdtrid potesids OF her
husband. under tho latter law. as influenced
by the principles OF the Stole philosophy and
expounded by such iurlsts as Gaius. she re-
mained a member Of her own family. or was
placed under the protection OF q guardian ap-
pointed by her parents, whose jurisdiction
over her although superior to that OF her hus-
band. was not such as to interfere with her
personal liberty. The result was that. at this
period In Rome. "a under the primitive matri-
archal regime. the situation of woman. whether
married or single. was one OF great dignity
and influence. Touching. however. tho
freedom enjoyed by women after the time
OF the Antonine CGsars. Maine points
out that Christianity tended somewhat
from the very first to narrow this remarkable
liberty. The latest Roman law. so far as II Is
touched by the constitutions of the Christian
smperors. bears marks OF a reaction against
the liberal doctrines OF the great Antonine
iursconsults- The prevalent state OF religious
sentiment may explain WHY il is that modern
Jurisprudence. forged in the furnace Of bar
barian conquest aud formed by the fusion OF
Roman law with patriarchal usage. has alb
sorbed among its rudiments many OF the ideas
concerning the position OF women which be-
long to an imperfect civilization" Lecky. too
comparing the Roman Jurisprudence with tho
canon or ecclesiastical law. remarks that the
Pagan laws during the earlier centuries OF the
empire were constantly repeating the old dis
abilities OF women. whereas It was the aim OF
the canon law to substitute enactments which
should impose upon the female sex the most
offensive personal restrictions and stringent
subordination."

LII.

As regards the already colossal and rapidly
expanding bulk OF case law. II Is pointed out in
these lectures that. at the present rate OF pro-
gression. the English and American reports
will In twenty years number 10 900 volumes
and In fifty years 10000 No one disputes that
there are many and ind!s spensable attributes of
value In this stupendous body OF judiciary law.
but against these must be set OF ineonven-
iences and defects OF such q character that
they have at length become serious mischiefs.
II not positive evils Thousands OF useless
cases-thAt Is. cases turning on special facts
and those OF no general interest, as well as
easos which are mere repetitions and which
add nothing to the law-hAve been and are
constantly reported. Multitudss OF print
ed decisions have been questioned limited
aud overruled. The reports abound In cases
which are conflicting The simplest heads OF
the law are overlaid with mountainous mass
Of decisions which grows day by day. To an
examination, study and com pArison OF this
vast corpus OF case law. with only such aids as
digests and text books can give is the legal
inquirer remitted In his toilsome search for
the existing law in cases which are not pro-
Viaed for by a statute. After reeiting the
methods Of remedyinG these mischiefs pro-
posed by Bentham and Lord Wsstbury. the ALL
thor OF this hook considers. on his own part
how far II Is desirable that judicial opinions
should De reported. In his Judgment
the theoretical answer TO this inquiry is
plain enouGh namely. that only such cases
ought 70 be reported as are useful as
precedents, or constitute new develoDments Of
the Law, or oysrrule or limit former decisions.
or newly eOnstrus legislative enactments But
the difficult practical question Is not over

NICKEL=STEEL PLATE.
AS Good Without the Oil-Temper-
ing Process.
The Opinion of an Expert Who Was
in Receipt Of Two Sala-
rieS.

WASHINGTON, July %. = Lieutenant
Charles A. Stone. for three years ordnance
officer for the Carnegie Company, was d
witness in the armor-plate investigation
to-day. When asked for the results of the
recent Government trials of plates, he re-
piled that the top halves of the first two
plates failed by narrow margin of the
requirements for obtaining a premium,
while the lower halves failed by wide
margin. In the case of the third plate the
top half secured premium and the bot
tom half failed. The bottom half was
generally considered the better piece.
The lieutenant had been on the retired
list since las. December, he said, and had
been employed by the Carnegie Company
three years, drawing pay from the Govern
ment and from the Carnegie Company
both until he was placed on the retired
list
Chairman Cummings asked: did you
ever make any reports-in other words, do
anything for the Government in that line ?"
"Only by helping to secure good armoI
plates" he replied He explained that
Lieutenant Meigs was now employed al
Bethlehem under the same arrangement.
The lieutenant considered the ballistlc
test the only critical one for trying armor
plates. although the physical test was val
liable as a guide and taken in connection
with the ballistic test. Regarding the
plates, he said that the opinion was gain
ing ground that nickei-steel armor required
no treatment and was as good without the
oil-tempering process as with it.
TIE tests were for the purpose of bring
ing all plates to uniform quality. He
said he thought The superintendent did
wrong in making false reports, and il
they had reported the different treatments
with the reasons there would have been
no trouble.
Commodore Sampson, chief of the Ord
nance Bureau, will be summoned as the
next witness. Chairman Cummings says
the committee will visit Homestead within
week, spending one day at the earn egie
works.
