SIGNS OF REFORM.
Trial by Jury About to Be Engrafted
Upon Chinese System

Washington, July Embarked evil
dence of the reform which is sweeping
China can be seen in a recommends
ton of commissioners named by the
government to revise the code govern
ing Chinese legal procedure which was
recently submitted to the empress dow
ager and emperor for their considera-
ton.
Two. revolutionary changes in the le-
gal procedure Of China are suggested;
These are the right Of trial by jury and
the employment of attorneys for the
defense OF criminals. Never in the his
tory of China has the practice of law
been recognized as a reputable profess
sion. The study of law has been
frowned upon from time ilnmemorial
and only recently have attorneys been
permitted to argue cases in courts and
this permission has been limited to
courts in coast cities where foreigners
reside. Heretofore a class of seribes
versed in legal phraseology had been
authorized to draw up petitions and
other legal documents, but these men
have not been lawyers in the broader
sense. From the report of the COM
mfssioners which has just been sub
mitted to the state department 1t may
be seen that Japan's action in bringing
its legal procedure into harmony with
duced the Chinese commissioners to
suggest the abolition of the present
antique methods of that empire for the
methods in vogue among all western
nations. International complications as
a result of the difference between the
procedure in China and in other parts
of the world are discussed by the COM
mission which says:
In China mixed Chinese foreign
cases are daily increasing in number
and complexity. Foreigners consider
our manner of judgment different from
theirs and there constantly arises oil

too, are not familiar with foreign regu-
lations and constantly suspect bias, and
as such suspicious accumulate, harmony
becomes impossible Every lawsuit
growing out of some ordinary trifiing
dispute becomes a question for interna-
tiOnal investigation. There have been
innumerable cases of this sort IN recent
years. Until the rules OF court proce-
dure be revised, with changes of all
kinds being permitted and their adop-
ton even being urged, although the real
body fof the law may be perfect, Its
general operation will not be success
and the judicial administration viii not
heretofore at the various ports of
international trade in China foreign
lawyers have already been permitted
to practice in the courts Worst OF
all. even the Yamens following the
custom of employing advisers have de-
pended upon foreigners for defense
in Chinese suits. with the result that
much obstruction has been expert
enced. For instance. when case Of
international concern has arisen they
have invited such an attorney to con-
duct the case, although there is GER.

detriment of his own people. On this
account the ex-territoria1 powers of

selves How can one bear to think
Of the evils that must afterwards re-
suit.
As the changes suggested by the
commission II put into effect would

necessitate the employment of hun
dreds of lawyers throughout the
provinces the commissioners make
recOmmen tons for the preparation
of Chinese to undertake this legal
work They suggest that henceforth
in each of the provincial schools where
men are being trained in the law
definite number of students of good
character, serious minded and well
versed in the law shall be selected.
who after they have completed their
courses shall be examined and. II
found qualified, shall be given diplo-
mas and apportioned among the prov
inces to argue cases before the courts.
If such young men can not be pro-
vided on short notice the commission
recommends that each province shall
select the best qualified of its legal
secretaries for this work. These legal
secretaries are men familiar with the
code. employed as private secretari
by the magistrates to assist in diff
ferent cases. Until recently such sec
retaries had no official standing.
A revision of the code accomplished
by the commission provides for the
division of all cases into two classes
civil and criminal. The civil class in
cludes cases having to do with debts
houses, lands. titles and damages
Cases that have to do with rebellion.
counterfeiting, murder, robbery and
swindiing are included in the criminal
class.
