been ACCOMPLISHED on this branch of the
law. The shibboleth among the reformers
was forms of action must be abolished.
This was their formula for regenerating
procedure, their panacea for all the ills and
ailments of the common law practice.
THE inherent defect in the theory of the
reformers was that they attempted to ig-
more the distinctions which were ingrained
in our substantive law. 1t was all very We'll
to enact that there should be but one form
of actior@ but the fundamental distinctions
between law and equity, contract and tort,
treSpaSS and trespaSS on the case still re-
manned. These distinctions are interviewer
into the very warp and wool of our COM
feet questions of evidence burden of proof,
damages and grounds of recovery.

action, set up in the complaint? Thus
the defendant is compelled to take the

plaintiff, and the courts are required TO
plant which plaintiffs attorney should
have been required to make clear and ex-
plicit at the very beginning
must sorrowfully admit that reformed pro-
cedure has failed to reform. The much
vaunted code. which was intended and ex-
pected TO make the practice of the law easy
for the common layman. has really made
it difficult for the rfost uncommon lawyer.
The abolition of form of action has in
creased the difficulties and perils of litiga-
ton and has proved a burden instead of a
benefit TO litigants The merger of law and
equity practice has checked the growth of
equity Jurisprudence. and has not liberal
lied to any considerable extent the prac-
tice on the common law side.
What is the lesson to be learned from
the history Of the past half century of
reformed procedure? The lesson is that
we should. in the work of reform. make
haste slowly; that we should not be led
astray by phrases: that in making re-
forms we should make them in the lines of
our substantive law. and not put forth
