She In one respect India fairly beats us. has a complete code of criminal procedure. But according to Mr. PRICHARD this attainment is an evil, for it puts a formidable power into the bands of police officers and magistrates. For a long time a contest has been going on for the purpose of compelling Englishmen to submit to the jurisdiction of native magistrates' courts -hitherto without success, although it is Mr. MAINE'S opinion, that although the code does not apply to European British subjects beyond the presidency towns, except so far as it regulates the procedure of the High Court, Agra, and the Chief Court, Lahore, it has a certain modified application to Europeans who are not British subjects, and to Americans. And in a very recent case the High Court, Agra, has ruled that even as respects the maintenance of an illegitimate child, the justice of the peace has no power to compel a British subject to make a payment Our Indian administration, it appears, has the greatest difficulty in dealing with the question of police. There is no good material to work with. The native is wholly unfitted for the work. "The native," says Mr. PRICHARD, "does not regard truth in the same light that we do, nor does he consider that any disgrace attends the being convicted of a falsehood. At the same time he is clever, sharp, and astute at getting up a story, and, with it all, very easily intimidated. on that account. DIGEST OF SHIPPING LAW CASES. Edited by F. O. CRUMP, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. 1. Salvage following upon an agreement for 2. Danger of collision-Duty of tug.-Steam-tug considered to be justified in letting go the ship towed in order to avoid danger to herself from collision. But it is the duty of the tug to return and complete her engagement, and do what she can to prevent the mischief which might arise from the temporary interruption of the service. To entitle a vessel to salvage reward for services rendered it is not necessary to show that the services were requested or assistance expressly accepted. It is enough that the circumstances were such that if assistance was offered a prudent man would have accepted it. The Minnehaha (see above); (The Golden Light, The Annapolis, J. C. P. C. Aug. 2, 1861; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 127.) TRANSSHIPMENT. Authority of master to give lien for freight.Where a cargo is necessarily transshipped into another vessel, the master is bound to make the best bargain he can in regard to the new rate of freight. Held, therefore, that when the captain was able to engage a ship to convey the cargo for 408. a ton from a port at which the original ship had become incapable by damage through sea perils of proceeding on the voyage, he could not give a lien on the cargo for freight at 70s. a ton, but only for the amount of freight due to him on his original contract, less the advances which had been made by the charterers. Being able to forward the cargo at less than the original freight according to charter-party the difference should go to the benefit of the shipowner: (Matthews v. Gibbs, Q. B. Nov. 19, 1860; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 14; 3 L. T. Rep. N. S. 557; 7 Jur. N. S. 186; 30 L. J. 55.) at Rio. Mate and able seamen allowed board wages at the rate of 28. a day, ordinary seamen at the rate of 1s. 6d. a day during the time they had maintained themselves when the vessel was short of provisions: (The San Jose Primeiro, A. C., May 25, 1860; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 5; 3 L. T. Rep. N. S. 513.) 2. Wages withheld-Double pay.-Construction of 189th and 191st sections of Merchant Shipping Act. Master as well as seamen, held entitled to ten days' double pay when the payment of his wages was unduly withheld, it not being proved that the delay in payment was occasioned by his improperly withholding his accounts. A master receiving under an award salvage money for the owners of property to which he, the ship and crew, have rendered salvage services, is not bound to hand over the portion he bona fide conceives to be his own proper share; nor, it would seem, any Remedy of owners part of the salvage money. laiming a share of salvage retairel by master as due to him should be sought under the 498th section of Merchant Shipping Act: (The Princess Helena, A. C., Jan. 18, 1861; I Mar. Law Cas. 108.) 3. Amendment of petition.-Upon the authority of The Tecumseh, 3 W. Rob. 309, a special agree ment with the master of a ship was separated by the court into parts pronouncing for the wages stipulated to be paid, and not taking cognisance of anything further in the agreement: (The Enterprise, A. C., Ireland, 1860; I Mar. Law Cas. 133.) Intervention of 4. Foreign master's wages consul-Merchant Shipping Act 1854, s. 191Jurisdiction of Admiralty Court.-Suit for foreign master's wages dismissed "where consul of state to which ship belonged, not having received notice previous to institution of suit, protested against cause proceeding." The right of foreign masters to sue for wages under sect. 191 of Merchant Shipping Act is not absolute. The jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court in such cases is discretionary, suits of this kind being now permitted in order to avoid injustice to seamen. Case of The Golu chick, 1 W. Rob. 148, referred to: (The Herzogin Marie, A. C., March 21, 1861; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 144.) 5. Jurisdiction-Admiralty Court. - Prior to 24 Vict. c. 10, the Admiralty Court declined to enforce an agreement, whereby the mate was to have an allowance for managing the ship's acdismissed without costs. Suit opposed by a counts and superintending disbursements. Case mortgagee. The wages not amounting to 50%. could not be pronounced for: (The Harriet, A. C, March 21, 1861; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 152; 5 L. T. Rep. N. S. 210.) [The above Act has extended the jurisdiction in such a manner as to render this case valueless as a precedent.] A step has been taken with regard to trust estates which must soon be followed by England. An official trustee may now be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Presidency. As Mr. PRICHALD remarks, "the great advantage of the arrangement is that the interests of the cestu que trusts are looked after by a professional man, who knows how to carry out the duties that devolve on him, and who, in fact, never dies or goes away. Another feature of Indian legislation, which we shall soon adopt, is the abolition of grand juries, which was effected in 1865. Mr. PRICHARD seems to think that some machinery will have to be substituted for the grand jury, but we do not see why. juries generally, a verdict of nine out of the twelve is sufficient, provided that the Judge concurs with the opinion of the majority. Finally we may mention that patchwork legislation has begun in India. Out of thirtyseven Acts passed in 1867 two-thirds were ship arriving at Liverpool from California, since 6 Hurls. & N. 509; (The Franz and Elise, A. C. Our As to amendments of former laws, or measures passed The source from which we have drawn the information contained in this article is a very able work. Mr. PRICHARD's style is clear and forcible, and he has evidently an intimate knowledge of the country with which he deals. USAGE. Discount from freight on goods from North American ports to Liverpool-California-Texas.-According to the decision in Brown v. Byrne, 3 E. & B. 705, a custom having been established at Liverpool of deducting three months' discount from freights of goods from all parts of North America, but only one such instance having occurred of a its annexation to the United States, held that the custom applied to California. Instance of Texas very strong in favour of custom applying: (Falk ner v. Erle, Q. B., Jan. 20, 1863; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 279; 7 L. T. Rep. N. S. 672; 3 B. & S. 360.) VALUE.

No such allowance made to seamen who had joined the ship 6. Interference of consul-Appearance under protest.-Appearance by owner of ship under proforeign consul.

Collision suit-Sale of ship-Priority-Wages of master and crew-Advances by master for seamen's wages.-Where a foreign vessel was found liable for damage by collision, and sold by decree of the court, and the proceeds were insufficient to pay the claim for damage, held that the master and crew were not entitled to payment of their wages out of the proceeds of the sale. The authorities relied upon by the court were The Carl Johan, cited in The Dundee, 1 Hag. A. R. 109; The Chimera, reported only in the Shipping Advances and Mercantile Gazette of 27th Nov. 1852; and The Linda, 30 L. T. Rep. 234. by master for wages of seamen likewise not allowed as a charge against the proceeds of the ship: (The Duna, A. C., Ireland, Aug. 13, 1860; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 159; 5 L. T. Rep. N. S. 217; 12 Irish Jur. 384.) 8. Costs of reference-Master's wages-Deduction from claim for set-off, &c.-Master held entitled two-thirds of the master's claim, and more than to costs of reference to registrar, where nearly half the owner's claim for set-off were disallowed. The master had been guilty of extravagance in (The Strathallan, wasting the ship's stores : E. C. April 14, 1861, 1 Mar Law Cas. 207.) 9. Master's and seamen's wages-Bottomry→→ Priority. In a case where if the claim of the master to be paid his wages rateably with the seamen had been allowed, the proceeds of the ship sold in a cause of bottomry would not have paid even a moiety of the seamen's wages: Held that the master was not entitled to take part of the fund to their prejudice, seeing he is liable to the Master considered seamen for their wages. entitled to his wages in priority to bottomry bondholder, where he had not by the terms of the bottomry bond made himself responsible for the amount of the bond: (The Salacia, A.

Foreign ship-Interference of consul.-In a suit for wages of foreign seamen, if the consul of their country intervenes and asks payment of wages to be made to him on their behalf, the Admiralty Court usually grants the application. An objection on his part to the suit is likewise admitted where the ccnsul undertakes to do justice between the parties: (The Timor, A. C. Nov. 17, 1863; 1 Mar. Law Cas. 400; 9 L. T. Rep. N. S. 397.) 14. Foreign seamen-Practice in Admiralty.According to the practice introduced by Dr. Lushington in suits brought by foreign seamen for wages, notice is required to be given to the foreign consul, that he may intervene if he think fit.

Law Cas. 420; 33 L. J. 115.) THE PRACTICE AT QUARTER SESSIONS A very important question of practice on these appeals has just been raised. It arose thus :One John Ginger, a farmer, and Robert Sharp, his bailiff, had been convicted by the Berkhampstead magistrates of cruelty to horses employed on the farm, and had been sentenced to imprisonment. They appealed, and the case came before the Hertford Quarter Sessions on the 3rd inst., the Marquis of Salisbury being chairman. Serjeant Sleigh and Mr. Clarke appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Harris and Mr. Lucas for the respondents (the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). We extract the following from the report of the case in the Hertfordshire Standard of the 6th instant: Mr. Harris briefly stated the nature of the appeal, and then said that from medical evidence which was forthcoming, if the prosecution went on, Mr. Ginger's reason and probably his life was in danger. Upon those grounds he asked his lordship to allow him to withdraw from the prosecution. The royal society which he represented were fully prepared to prove their case, and to vindicate not only the condition of the horses, but the amount of punishment inflicted by the court below. But while convinced that imprisonment alone was the only punishment that could have been given in these cases without a mockery of justice, they deeply felt the responsibility thrown upon them by the evidence of Mr. Ginger's health, and they did not wish, by taking further action, to place his life in jeopardy-which they were really afraid might follow if the prisoner were further incarcerated. already endured would they trusted meet the ends The punishment he had of justice. His Lordship said that in both cases the recognizances would be estreated. The proper course for them to pursue if they considered that Ginger's health was seriously affected, was to ask for an adjournment of the appeal. He could not on the part of the court assume the authority of consenting to any such compromise as was then proposed. Mr. Harris said the course they were then taking was purely on principles of humanity. If the pri THE LAW TIMES. soner's life were not in danger, he should proceed taken was to apply for an adjournment of the nical way in which the appeal could then be dis- assent to your doctrine, that if no evidence is to grant. forma, that the case of John Ginger having been The Chairman: Exactly so.

It appeared that Mr. Freer had been employed on behalf of a former partner of Cheeseborough in certain partnership disputes, and to bring a criminal charge against him under the Act of 1868; and no doubt it was owing to this that the countercharge against Mr. Freer was due. complained of appeared on the 8th Dec. in a local newspaper, in the form of a letter, which proved to have been forwarded to the editor by Cheeseborough.

MAGISTRATE AND PARISH LAWYER. NOTES OF NEW DECISIONS. MARKET REMOVAL BYE-LAW. — Where there is a grant of a market to be holden within and may from time to time remove such market, in any convenient place within the said limits, certain limits, the grantee may hold such market ing a market must not be so restrictive as to within the same limits. A bye-law for regulator any part thereof, to any other convenient place prevent, without leave, a frequenter of it from resorting to it: (Wortley v. Nottingham Local Board, 21 L. T. Rep. N. S. 582. Q. B.) PORTSMOUTH PETTY SESSIONS. Fleming, a cabinet maker, for that, on Dec. 16, himself from his said master's service without his consent, and without just cause or lawful excuse, &c. 4. S. Blake, solicitor, of Portsea, appeared for the complainant. T. Cousins, solicitor, of Portsea, appeared for the defendant. The facts, which were admitted on both sides, were as follows: The defendant was apprenticed by indenture, dated 21st Dec. 1864, for seven years, and in the indenture of apprenticeship he was stated to be 15 years of age. It was afterwards discovered that he was at the date of his indenture 16 years of age, and he attained his majority on 16th Dec. 1869. On 15th Dec. he left off work as usual and informed his master that he should not return as he had attained the age of 21 years. The question, therefore, was one of law, viz., whether the apprentice was at liberty to avoid the indenture on attaining his majority, notwithstanding that the term of apprenticeship would not expire until 1871. THE NEW REGULATIONS FOR COSTER- 1. No barrow, cart, or stall, for the sale of 2. No barrow, cart, or stall shall be placed or stand in any street or public way alongside another, so as to lessen or obstruct the breadth of such street or public way by more than the width of one barrow, cart, or stall. What notice of appeal to be given. 10 days 10 days Clerk of the Peace. J. Torkington. drove a dog-cart through the gate, on his returning from visiting a sick parishioner. Toll was demanded, and he objected to pay it. Mr. Thurstans, who appeared for the rev. gentleman, contended that a Roman Catholic curate was exempted from toll. The 3 Geo. 4, c. 106, s. 32, exempted, among others, "any person going to or returning from his or her proper parochial church or chapel, or any other place of worship tolerated by law," and any rector, vicar, or curate going to or returning from visiting any sick parishioner, or on other parochial duty within his parish." The word curate, from curatio, meant the cure of souls, and applied to a Roman Catholic priest, because he, with every other Dissenting minister, had the cure of souls. It was clear that the section did not Blake relied upon the Master and Servant Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c 141) which had been conapply exclusively to clergymen of the Church of England, because the first part of it (and it must tinued by subsequent Acts, and was now in force. By sect. 2 it is provided that the word "employer" stand in any street or public way within 4ft. 3. No barrow, cart, or stall shall be placed or be read as a whole) spoke of a church or chapel "tolerated by law;" and Roman Catholicism was shall include any person, firm, corporation, or (measured along the length of any such street or tolerated by law.

They would, however, grant a that age, who has entered into a contract of sererant traders shall, when requested to do so by case for the consideration of the Superior Courts. any inhabitant, remove their barrows, carts, and vice with any employer:" further the words " constalls from before the house of such inhabitant, in tract of service "shall include "any contract whether in writing or parol to serve for any period of time, or to execute any work and any indenture or contract of apprenticeship, whether such contract or indenture has been made or executed before or after the passing of this Act." Sects. 4 to 9 of that Act therefore applied to this case, and the court could direct the defendant to find sureties or impose a fine, with power of commitment in default. The Act was passed expressly to meet such a case as this. The apprentice must serve his full time, notwithstanding he had attained his majority before its completion. Cousins contended that the Act did not apply to such a case as the present. A contract of apprenticeship is one of those by which a person under age is permitted by law to bind himself upon that general ground adverted to by Lord Mansfield in Drury v. Drury, 5 Bro. P.C. 570, viz., that if any agreement be for the benefit of an infant it shall bind him. But he may elect to avoid the agreement at his full age (ex parte Davis, 5 T. R. 715). The liability, however, of the father upon his covenant for the services of the apprentice still continues, although the infant should elect to avoid the deed: (Cuming v. Hill, 3 B. & Ald. 59.) The Master and Servant Act did not take away or effect this common law privilege of the infant. If such had been the intention of the Legislature it would have been clearly expressed. The BENCH said the point was a very nice and important one, and the magistrates would take time to consider the decision, which would be given that day fortnight. On 11th Jan. 1870, the magistrates announced their decision. They were clearly of opinion that the Master and Servant Act 1867, did not deprive the apprentice of his common law right to avoid the indenture within a reasonable time of his at taining his majority, and as he had done so in this case the summons would be dismissed.

Costermongers, street hawkers, and itinerant traders, and their barrows, carts, and stalls are hereby made liable to be removed from any street or public way in which they create an obstruction to the traffic, or where they are an annoyance to the inhabitants. The sixth section of the Metropolitan Streets Act 1867, prohibiting the deposit of goods in the streets, will not apply to costermongers, street hawkers, and itinerant traders so long, and so long only, as their business is carried on according to the above regulations. The police have been instructed to immediately inform persons who let barrows on hire of the dimensions which will be allowed in future, and to exercise every possible forbearance in carrying these regulations into effect, which are to supersede former regulations on the same subject.

Mr. Kennard was a Commissioner of Lieutenancy for the City of London, magistrate for Westminster, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, and Stirlingshire. He was an ironmaster and coal proprietor in South Wales and Scotland; he was Sheriff of London and Middlesex 1866-7, and Conservative member for Newport, Isle of Wight, from Feb. 1857, and was re-elected in 1859.

COURT OF APPEAL. THE FAMILY ENDOWMENT ASSURANCE SOCIETY. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Justice Gifford gave judgment on Wednesday on the appeal from the order made by Vice-Chancellor James for winding-up the Family Endowment Assurance Society, one of the companies amalgamated with the Albert. The Lord Chancellor said that, in answer to the case for the petitioner General Pott, it had been urged that General Pott had ceased to be a creditor of the society that the society was not a company capable of being woand-up under the Act of 1862; and that the court onght, in the exercise of its jurisdiction, to leave the petitioner to his remedy at law. The Lord Chancellor agreed with Sir W. James that with regard to the first question there had been no new or substituted contract with the Albert Company in place of the original contract. With respect to the second, he thought that the society had not ceased to exist, so as to prejudice the rights of its creditors when the Act of 1862 came into operation. As to the third suggestion he was of opinion that the peti tioner could not be justly left to his remedy at law Upon the whole, he considered General Pott had made out his case, and was entitled to the common THE TAXES.-Under the new tax Act the term "male servant" includes any male servant employed in the capacity of gardener or undergardener. There is nothing in the Act to guide one as to who are to be returned as gardeners or under-gardeners. The old Assessed Tax Act of 1853 elucidated the question as follows: The duties on gardeners shall extend to every gardener rateable value of each district, and distinguishing winding-up order. The appeal must therefore be who shall have contracted for the keeping of any garden or gardens wherein the constant labour of a person shall be necessary, or when a person shall have been constantly employed therein, to be paid by the person for whose use, and in whose garden such gardener or person shall have been employed; provided that no person shall be deemed to be a gardener unless the whole or the greater part of his time shall be employed as a gardener in a garden requiring the greater part of the labour of one person." This was enough to puzzle any intellect as involving an inquiry into the expenditure of the gardener's time and the amount of labour capable of being performed by a person. the area, population, gross estimated rental, and parishes wholly from parishes only partly within dismissed with costs. Lord Justice Giffard concurred. Upon the application of Sir R. Palmer, the respondents were allowed ten days before the issue of the winding-up order, to endeavour to come to some arrangement with General Pott.
