Gently returned from years travel IN

making a study of British courts, made
the foregoing statement last night at the
smoker given by the students Of Creigh-
ton Law school Prof. Crawford was the
principal speaker OF the evening.
English judges have too much power"
he continued ''They are appointed to &C.
cupy the bench for life and consequently
learn to show all the authority vested in
them which is a deal greater than what OBJ
tains in American courts. This lecture, as
I have explained, is a comparison OF Ameri-
can and British courts, but Of course, my
being an American, it would resolve itself
into a criticism Of British Jurisprudence.
But what have to say is admitted as truth
by the great lawyers of England.
"One difference in American and British
courts which I observed as soon as 1 ar
rived in England was the difference in
costs. The costs of cases tried in British
courts are enormous. An ordinary default
divorce case costs $780, while in America
il amounts to $3.50 That is not, however,
the cause for their being more divorces
in America, although we here are great on
bargains cite that as merely an instance
of the greater cost Of trying a case in
England than in America.
