institutions, will enable them to compel performance of their orders; and as Courts of equity refuse attempting to compel performance of a simple contract to act, or to sing, or the like, merely because they will not stultify themselves by ordering that to be done which they have no power to force a man to do, so credit may be given to a Court of law that it will not attempt to order a horse to drink, or a man to marry, though it may flog the horse for not drinking, or make the man pay for not marrying. To be serious, the whole current of modern law reform as regards judicature is this-to import into the common law, or rather to add to it, equitable doctrines of THE proposed alterations in the course of common- conduct; and to import from the Court of Chancery law procedure, now before the House of Lords, together into the Courts of common law, and from the latter with those additions which are likely to be made in the into the former, the best and most efficacious of their Commons, will, if carried into effect, probably produce respective modes of procedure; and when it can be great changes, not only in the amount, but in the shewn that in either Court either the doctrines by mode of transacting business in Chancery. By the which it is bound, or the practice according to which additions likely to be made in the Commons, we mean it proceeds, are not such as to produce the one desired the introduction of actions for specific performance into result-justice-the tendency, and the proper tendency, courts of common law-an addition to their jurisdic-is to give to the deficient Court the powers that it did not tion which is almost certain to be made. Now, though, as being ourselves of the equity bar, we cannot personally look with any particular affection on changes the result of which may be to diminish considerably the business of equity, yet, as law reformers, we cannot see the slightest ground for contending that Courts of law ought not to have that jurisdiction, as well as that of admitting equitable defences, and granting injunctions, &c., in actions pending in their jurisdiction. The instance which the Lord Chancellor put, of an action for specific performance of a contract for marriage, was probably put by his Lordship by way of joking off a portion of the subject to which his Lordship entertained an aversion; because, of course, if Courts of law entertain actions for specific performance, they must, like Courts of equity, and every other Court, limit the exercise of their jurisdiction to cases in which the power placed at their disposal by human VOL. XVIII. J

possess. To take the question of equitable defences: it does seem not only very absurd, but very inconvenient, that if an action is brought on an instrument under seal, then, in order to set up, by way of defence, some transaction recognisable only on principles of equity, it should be necessary for the defendant to go out of the Court of common law into the Court of Chancery, and there obtain, by a separate and expensive course of proceeding, an order to stop the plaintiff at law from going on, on the ground of the equitable defence; or if an ejectment is brought at law, and the defendant sets up an outstanding term, on which as a legal title he can rest, but on which for some reasons it would be very unjust that he should rest, it seems very inconveniently tedious and expensive that he should have to go into equity, as it is termed, to stay the setting up of the outstanding term. It will be a simpler, more expeditious, and more rational mode of

proceeding in either of such cases, that the defendant in the one case, or the plaintiff in the other, should be able to set up the equitable defence in the action.

On the subject of specific performance, the giving such jurisdiction to Courts of law seems perfectly rational; but merely to do that, would be a one-sided reform as regards the public. The great object to be attained is, that the suitor may seek his remedy, so far as it is practicable, in any of her Majesty's courts, and that wherever he does choose to go, he may get complete justice. It is a hardship that in one court a plaintiff may get damages, and damages only, for the breach of a contract, and that in another he may have the contract enforced, but can have no more

that is, cannot have damages; and that is not merely a theoretical but a practical grievance, because it very often happens that a plaintiff mistakes his course— that is, goes to a Court of equity for specific performance when he is not entitled to it, though he might have been entitled to damages if he had gone originally to a Court of law. Now, what ought to be done for substantial reform of the law on such a point as this is, that whichever court a suitor happens to go into first, there he should be able to obtain complete justice. If he files a bill in Chancery for specific performance, and it turns out that he is not entitled to specific performance, but may be entitled to some damages, he ought not to be turned out of the Court of Chancery, with costs, to seek what remedy he can at law; but the Court of Chancery ought to be armed with power to say, "True it is, you are not entitled to the strict performance of the contract, but you have suffered damage, and are entitled to compensation, and we will give you damages." On the other hand, he ought not at law to be confined strictly to damages, but ought to be able to ask, in the alternative, either performance of the contract or damages.

Of course, in administering these equities, Courts of law ought to be bound to take notice of those higher principles of judicial morality, in applying the law to men's contracts, which are acted upon in Courts of equity, but have not been hitherto recognised by Courts of law. If they do not, to give them an equitable jurisdiction will only be putting into their hands a power of doing mischief instead of good.
