been condemned by students of law as an in
convenient and irrational requirement
The Russell case, involving the trial of
peer by the House of Lords after the suspension
of functions of this kind for sixty years, may
offer object lesson in the form of a ma ajority
verdict which will tend to dignity the tradi-
tonal rights and dignties of twelve ordinary
men in the box. New precedents may be Gre
ated by a fresh committee empowered to ex-
anime the journals of the House of Lords; but
a repetition of the ceremonials of the Cardigan
case is probable for the peers, well the
King, set value upon the purely ornamental
features of stately procedure. Whether Earl
Russell be allowed to sit stool uncovered
and without robes and whether Black Rod af-
ter the pleading, prays for his safe deliverance,
will be minor points. The essential facts will
be that a Radical peer will be exposed to a
majority verdict from mouse representing the
Old Toryism of the privileged classes. and that
any member answering the rollcall of the
Lord High Steward will be both an unsworn
juryman respecting issues of fact and a judge
regarding complex questions Of divorce law in
England and in America. The results of so
markable an experiment in criminal procedure
cannot be safely forecast. An abandonment.
at least reconstruction, of the antiquated pro-
cedLre of trial by a privileged jury would seem
more likely than the substitution OF a majority
for a unanimous verdict in ordinary criminal
practice.
The Nevada judge who granted the divorce
decree to Earl Russell has indeed, been in
strumental in raising a series of questions of
ceptional interest. There is the first issue of the
validity Of the divorce under the laws of Ne
vada and the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court. There is the fundamental ques-
ton Of the power of any foreign tribunal to
lease Englishman from the obliga tions of
marriage contracted in his own country, and to
enable him to return to England with another
wife. There is the issue of privilege, with the
anomalous procedure of trial by the House of
Lords when there is charge of felony against
a peer and this is the traditional inheritance
of social conditions which have been trans
formed by the normal development of political
institutions. The happy -go-lucky Nevada judge
has opened a Pandora's box for the confusion of
the privileged order and for the bewderment
of hairsplitting lawyers The best consolation
which the stern moralist find is the hope
and it is not lively one--that the Russell case
may lead to the enactment of uniform divorce
laws in the States of the American Union, and
may open the way for a closer approach be-
tween England and America in legislation for
the defence of the sanctity of marriage.
