MARTIN'S CONVEYANCING, by DAVIDSON.
In 5 vols. royal 8vo., price 77. boards,

THE PRACTICE of CONVEYANCING, with PRECE

DENTS and FORMS of ASSURANCE, and PRACTICAL NOTES, as originated by the late THOMAS MARTIN, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister at Law; and continued and completed by CHARLES DAVIDSON, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister at Law, and Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge.

The First Volume consists of an Introduction, and of an Appendix (just published) containing several additional Precedents. The Second Volume contains a very large collection made by the late Mr. Martin, of Common Forms of all the different Clauses of Deeds, Wills, and other Assurances: the Forms are drawn from various sources, and present a very considerable choice to the draftsman. The last Three Volumes, and the Appendix to the First, (which are the work of Mr. Davidson), contain entire Precedents of all the Assurances commonly framed by Conveyancers, with a very large body of Notes, principally relating to the practice of preparing Drafts, and to such points of law as bear more immediately on that part of the Conveyancer's duty. It is to this object (the Preparation of Drafts, that the Work has been chiefly directed; and it is conceived, that the precision and uniformity of language in the Precedents, their conciseness, and their having been taken wholly from the most approved Forms, and principally from Drafts recently prepared, must give this book an advantage, for practical purposes, over any collection of Precedents hitherto offered to the Profession.

PLATT

"Mr. Platt has presented the profession with a full and complete treatise of the whole law and practice relating to leases, accompanied by an ample collection of precedents, and we are glad that the work has fallen into such competent hands, equally in regard to practical experience and professional learning."-Legal Observer.

"The Propositions of Law are clear and precise, well arranged, and supported by full Statements of the Cases and Authorities upon which they are founded. The Appendix of Precedents is excellent. There are Leases and parts of Leases, Clauses, and Powers of Leasing, which seem to supply all of precedent and form which the most varied practice can require."-Daily News.

"This book consists of two large volumes, and is amply entitled to rank as a standard work on the useful and important subject of which it treats."-Law Magazine.

*The following are the Names of the Gentlemen who favour THE JURIST with Reports of Cases argued and decided in the several Courts of Law and Equity:

[blocks in formation]

Ir is rumoured that, among the alterations in the law intended to be proposed to Parliament in the ensuing session, is the addition to the county courts of an equitable jurisdiction, within certain limits. As this is a course of proceeding which has been for years advocated in THE JURIST, we shall not stop to express our hope that it will be, at length, carried into effect. But, in proportion to our desire to see an equity jurisdiction for the poor man, is our desire to see its working details well considered before it is established; and, with that view, we shall add our humble contribution of observations on some points which appear to us to offer difficulties.

One material difficulty will be, to assign the limit of the jurisdiction, which is not quite so easy to fix, with a due regard to giving effect to the new jurisdiction, as it was in reference to the recovery of debts or damages. An arbitrary maximum of amount to be recovered, may perfectly well answer the purpose when the only question is debt or damages, and may also, perhaps, answer the purpose in equity, when the litigation is in reference to an ascertained fund; but will obviously be quite inapplicable to a multitude of subjects of equitable jurisdiction. For instance, suppose a suit, the object of which is to restrain infringement of a patent right, or of copyright, either literary, or under the copyright in Designs Act, (and the latter class of cases would probably very often be taken into the county courts, if they had an equitable jurisdiction); it would be very difficult, probably impossible, to subject such cases to any arbitrary limit as to amount; because the object of the suit is not in general to recover money at all, and never to recover an ascertained sum; but is, in general, confined to the prevention of wrongful acts VOL. XI.

injurious to the plaintiff's interest. In most such cases, indeed, the value of the subject-matter of the litigation is not susceptible of calculation, and the ground of the jurisdiction is, that the plaintiff has a legal right, which he is entitled to have protected, without reference to the amount of damage already sustained by him, and without reference to its actual value in money. Again, the jurisdiction to enforce the specific performance of agreements could hardly be conveniently limited by any arbitrary measurement of pecuniary value. Such a limit might be applicable, certainly, where the case is simply an agreement to purchase for a given sum; but if the agreement were for a partnership, or of the class of Hills v. Crole (2 Phil. 52) and Dietrichsen v. Cabburn, (Id. 60), it would be quite out of the question. So, where the agreement is to grant a lease at a rack rent, an agreement quite fitting to be enforced, the value of the subject-matter of litigation would be of course quite unascertainable.

It must also be remembered, that, even with reference to those class of cases where the litigation is touching an ascertained or ascertainable fund, the limit, if a pecuniary limit of jurisdiction is applied at all, ought not to be considered in reference to the fund alone, but ought to take into account the shares into which the fund may be divisible. To limit, for instance, the sum in respect of which an administration suit might be instituted, to 100%. or 2007., might appear to give to parties a much larger right of suit in equity in a county court than they have at law, but would really be limiting the right of suit, if the participants were numerous, within a much narrower boundary. On the other hand, to limit the jurisdiction by reference to the sums recoverable by any party, would be open to great objection, because the very essence of such suits is to as certain unascertained rights, and of course it would be impossible to discover, until the Court was prepared to
