The New Porto Rican Code.

As regards the system Of private
law. the recommendations OF the
commission possess a peculiar sig
nificance. In Porto Rico We have.
for the first time. come into direct
contact with the Spanish system.
II is true that in both California
and Neg Mexico we ind the Span
ish law in force. but 1t soon gave
way TO the American system. and
the influence of the Spanish inhabi-
tants was rapidly overcome by the
influx of immigrants from the East
and North. In Porto Rico, however,
we have to deal with a densely pop
ulated island which, because OF eli
matte conditions. will never attract
large number of persons from the
North. The system of law must
therefore always remain in close
harmony with the inherited ideas
and traditions of a population es-
sentialiy different from that which
we find in the States OF the Union
Both reports furnish ample evidence
that the commission realized the
danger OF attempting to force upon
tenn Of law which would be certain
to arouse a feeling of distrust and
resentment in the native popula-
tion.
1t is furthermore evident. from the
commentary contained in the re-
port. that considerable pressure was
brought to bear upon the commits
sion to sweep away the Spanish sys-
TEN at one fell blow. and to substi-
tute for 1t the codes of one OF the1
States of the Union. In this atti-
tude toward foreign systems of law
there is involved the most serious
danger incident to the contact with
civilizations different from our own. |
The training of the American law
yer is in the common law. Little |
or no attention is given to the great |
body of civil or Roman law, which !
is at the root OF the legal systems !
of Continental Europe and of the !
entire South American continent. /
This ignorance of foreign systems |
explains the feeling. so prevalent at
the bar, that any system other than |
the common law is unable to meet |
the requirements of justice. We
are not always mindful of the fact
that the Roman law exercised a
marked influence on the develop
ment of the common law. and that
during the last two centuries there
has been a gradual approach of the
two systems toward common
standard, especially in the law of
commercial relations.-Reyiew of
