A SUMMARY of the LAW of MODERN PLEADING,

incident to the Rules of Hilary Term, 1834; with such of the Decisions on Practice, Evidence, and Costs, as are closely connected with that subject. Also, copious Analysis of the Cases and Pleadings. By ROBERTS PHILIP TYRWHITT, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister at Law.

"The reports of the "Common-law Commissioners" suggested extensive changes in the practice on this important subject, (Pleading), which changes, whether improvements or not, were sanctioned by Parliament, and embodied by all the common-law courts in general rules, dated Hilary Term, 1834. It was then sought to adapt old principles to modern exigencies, and to link the present with the past by regulating the transition-with what success the work before us attempts to develope. It embodies in its text the pith of the decisions on "Modern Pleading," as incident to the above "rules," and condenses in the notes other valuable matter at present spread over lengthy "reports." The latter feature is adapted to render the volume more extensively useful in courts of Nisi Prius, particularly on the circuits, and in the library of country practitioners. Nor is it rigorously limited to its chief object; but includes the course of decisions on the replication de injuriâ in its extended application, as well as on the modern acts respecting land, tithes, mines, commons, ways, and easements, together with so much of the law of amendment, evidence, and costs as elucidates the new rules of pleading. On the whole, this work appears to have been prepared with much care and industry, and will be found to afford in small comparative compass a useful adjunct to the works of Stephen and Chitty."-Times, Oct. 29th, 1846.

The Title "Poor" by Mr. Commissioner BERE, of the Exeter District Court of Bankruptcy; the rest of the Work by THOMAS CHITTY, Esq., of the Inner Temple.

On introducing a new and greatly improved edition of an old-estalished book, like "Burn's Justice," to the notice of the Members of the Magistracy and the Legal Profession, the Publishers need only point attention to the claims which it has upon two such large and influential bodies, to ensure a success similar to that which has attended all previous editions. Since the year 1837 (the date of the last edition) a considerable number of important Statutes have been passed; by several of those Statutes the executive power of the Magistrate has been somewhat reINFORMA-stricted, and by others extended, while the whole duties of the office have undergone too many changes not to render a New Edition (embodying every Act and decision to the present time) a valuable and necessary addition to the Libraries of Gentlemen engaged in the Local Administration of Justice. The Six Volumes have received a thorough rovision; the Forms have been re-modelled, and carefully adapted to the recent changes; several new Titles (created by modern enactments) have been introduced, and great exertions have been made to ensure a correct and full development of the Law as it now stands. The title "Poor," which occupies the whole of the Fourth Volume, has again been prepared by Mr. Commissioner Bere; and his object has been to furnish the cases at full length, being satisfied that no compendious abstract, however carefully made, would supply a satisfactory Manual for those who attend the Quarter Sessions. The Marginal Notes and the Index are, however, abridgments of the Cases, so that the general principles of the Law may be ascertained without reading the fuller statement. great utility of the Work as an authority, presenting the cases in detail, and superseding the Reports themselves, is thereby preserved, at the same time that the necessity of reading the whole is obviated by the fulness of the Marginal Note.

LONDON, JULY 3, 1847.

In this commercial country all questions raised in our courts of law relating to the transfer of property, or of that which is recognised as the representative of property, are of great importance.

For a long period it has been a frequent practice to make promissory notes payable to the maker's own order, and until lately there does not appear to have been a doubt entertained as to the validity of such instruments. But in the case of Flight v. Maclean, (16 Law Journ., N. S., Exch., 23), it was contended, and successfully, in the Court of Exchequer, that promissory notes, which derive their negotiable character solely from the stat. 3 & 4 Anne, c. 9, must, by that act, be payable to some other person, or to the order of some other person than the maker, otherwise they were invalid. In the more recent case of Wood v. Mytton, (decided last term), however, the Court of Queen's Bench refused to recognise this decision, and held promissory notes, payable to the maker's own order, to be negotiable under the Statute of Anne.

Both of these decisions proceeded on the words of the statute, which we, therefore, give at length. The 3 & 4 Anne, c. 9, recites, "Whereas it hath been held that notes in writing, signed by the party who makes the same, whereby such person promises to pay unto any other person, or his order, any sum of money therein mentioned, are not assignable or indorsable over, within the custom of merchants, to any other person, &c., therefore, to the intent to encourage trade and commerce, which will be much advanced if such notes shall have the same effect as inland bills of exchange, and shall be negotiated in like manner, be it enacted, that all notes in writing that shall be made and signed by any person, &c., whereby such person, &c. shall promise to pay to any other person or persons, body politic and corporate, his, VOL. XI.

her, or their order, or unto bearer, any sum of money mentioned in such note, shall be taken and construed to be, by virtue thereof, due and payable to any such person or persons, body politic and corporate, to whom the same is made payable; and also every such note payable to any person or persons, his, her, or their order, shall be assignable or indorsable over in the same manner as inland bills of exchange are or may be, according to the custom of merchants; and that the person or persons to whom such sum of money is or shall be by such note made payable may maintain an action for the same, in such manner as he, she, or they might do upon any inland bill of exchange, made or drawn according to the custom of merchants, and that any person or persons to whom such note that is payable to any person or persons, his, her, or their order, is indorsed or assigned, or the money therein mentioned ordered to be paid by indorsement thereon, shall and may maintain his, her, or their action for such sum of money either against the person, &c. who signed such note, or against any of the persons that indorsed the same, in like manner as in cases of inland bills of exchange."

We think it is evident, from an attentive consideration of this act, that the intention in passing it was to place promissory notes on the same footing as bills of exchange. The object was to render such notes negotiable, and as it was then and still is the practice to make bills of exchange payable to the drawer or his order, it would seem to require very explicit language to exclude from this act promissory notes payable to the maker's order. There does not appear to be any reason whatever for such exclusion. The words which are used in the statute merely express or describe the general character of the instrument without intending thereby to limit its negotiability.

It would be absurd for a person to promise to pay

himself a sum of money, and therefore, in all probability, the Legislature used the words "whereby he shall promise to pay to any other person," in order to describe an instrument, which is made for the purpose of passing money from one person to another, whether by the language on its face or by indorsement.

It will be observed, that the above section contains four distinct clauses; the first describes a promissory note and the person to whom it is payable, extending the preamble by including notes payable to bearer; the second allows" such" note, payable to any person, to be indorsed as a bill of exchange, adopting, by the word "such," the description given in the first clause, except as to the payee, which it extends to " any person;" the third clause enacts, that the payee of such note may sue thereon as on a bill of exchange; and the fourth clause enacts, that "any" person to whom such note, that is, payable to "any" person, is indorsed may sue thereon as in case of bills of exchange.

It was under this last clause that the Court of Queen's Bench, in Wood v. Mytton, held the plaintiff to come, and, therefore, that he was entitled to recover upon a promissory note payable to the maker's own order. The learned judges considered the note to be a promissory note, as described in the first clause, but with a new description of the payee, as allowed by the fourth. The Court upheld such construction, inasmuch as it was consistent with the ordinary meaning of the words, and calculated to promote justice.

In Flight v. Maclean the above construction of the statute was not contended for, and, indeed, the point cannot be said to have been fully argued. In that case the first count of the declaration was on a promissory note made by the defendant, payable to his own order, and indorsed by him to the plaintiff; the second count described this promissory note as payable to bearer, and delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff. On demurrer to the first count, the Court gave judgment for the defendant, but they held his plea to the second count to be bad, and so gave judgment, as to that count, for the plaintiff.
