considered a criminal offence. There is no real distinction between using the name of another in a bill of exchange with the intention to defraud, and using the trade-mark of another for a similar purpose; if there is any distinction it is merely one of degree-both offences come under the same category-they are forgeries; and if one offence is to be punished with less severity than the other, it is not because the criminality is less in the one case than the other, but because the results of one kind of forgery are more mischievous to society than the other.

The Legislature has accordingly, in accordance with the general feeling of the country, endeavoured to arrest the fraudulent proceedings of traders with regard to trade-marks and short weights and measures. The statute we allude to is the Merchandise Marks Act, 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 88). By that act forging a trade-mark, or falsely applying any trade-mark with intent to defraud, is made a misdemeanour (sect. 2); as is also the application of a forged trade-mark to any vessel, case, wrapper, &c., or other thing in or with which any article is sold or intended to be sold (sect. 3); and the sale of articles with false trademarks after the 31st December, 1863, renders a person liable to a penalty equal to the value of the article sold, and a sum not exceeding 57. nor less than 10s. (sect. 4).

Additions also to and alterations of trade-marks, made with intent to deceive, are to be deemed forgeries (sect. 5).

Moreover, any person who, after the 31st December, 1863, shall have sold an article having a false trademark, is bound to give information where he procured it; and the justices have power to summon parties refusing to give information, and to inflict a penalty of 51. for their refusal (sect. 6).

Again: if any person makes any false indication respecting the number, quantity, measure, or weight of any article sold or exposed for sale, with an intent to defraud, he is rendered liable to a penalty in a sum equal to the value of the article, and a further sum not exceeding 51. and not less than 10s. (sect. 7).

A person selling or exposing for sale, after the 31st December, 1863, articles with a false statement of their quantities, measures, or weights, is liable to a penalty of not more than 57. nor less than 58. (sect. 8); but there is a proviso that it shall not be an offence to apply names or words known to be used for indicating particular classes of manufactures (sect. 9). A conviction under the act is not to affect the civil remedy (sect. 11).

The intent to defraud any particular person need not be alleged or proved in an indictment (sect. 12); and persons who aid in the commission of a misdemeanour under the act are to be also guilty (sect. 13). The punishment under the act is to be by imprisonment for not more than two years, with or without hard labour, or by fine, or by both imprisonment with or without hard labour and fine, and also by imprisonment until the fine (if any) shall have been paid and satisfied (sect. 14).

The recovery of penalties is next provided for (sects.

[ocr errors]

15, 16); and in actions, penalties are to be accounted for in like manner as other monies payable to the Crown, and plaintiffs are to recover full costs of suit (sect. 17).

There is a limitation to actions after the expiration of three years next after the commission of the offence, or one year next after the first discovery thereof by the person proceeding (sect. 18).

After the 31st December, 1863, a vendor of an article with a trade-mark is to be deemed to contract that the mark is genuine (sect. 19); and that the description upon an article of its quantity is a true description (sect. 20).

In suits at law or in equity against persons using forged trade-marks, the Court may order the article to be destroyed, and may also award an injunction (sect. 21).

Persons aggrieved by forgeries may recover damages against the guilty parties (sect. 22); but a defendant obtaining a verdict is to have a full indemnity for costs (sect. 23); and a plaintiff suing for a pe nalty may be compelled to give security for costs (sect. 24).

The act is not to affect the corporation of the Cutlers of Hallamshire, nor to repeal the 59 Geo. 3, c. 7, intituled "An Act to regulate the Cutlery Trade in England" (sect. 25).

The Merchandise Marks Act, 1862, although it may not reach every case at which it is aimed, is a long step in the right direction.

Many a knave who would not hesitate to commit a fraud, either by assuming the trade-mark of another, or by misdescribing the weight or quantity of his goods, when he only ran the risk of an action or a Chancery suit, will pause before he renders himself liable to the penalties of the new act; and we may hope that its effects upon the manufacturers and tradesmen of England will be to place their morality at least upon an equality with their notions of politi

FORMERLY it was said that there were few sessions without a Salmon Bill from the time of Magna Charta downwards. Of late there have been few sessions without some alteration in the law relating to charities.

This session has not proved an exception. By one act additional jurisdiction is given to that very useful institution, the Charity Commission; by the other an attempt has been made to prop up the bungling attempts of a former session to amend and partially supersede the Mortmain Act.

With regard to the first act (the 25 & 26 Vict. c. 112), it appears that in various private acts of Parliament, and decrees and orders of the Court of Chancery, relating to charities, powers and authorities were often given or reserved, with directions that the same should be exercised by the Court of Chancery, or with its sanction or approbation. Hence doubts were entertained whether in such cases the authority given to the Charity Commissioners to make orders for

1862.

And his Majesty the Emperor of the French, M. Edouard Antoine Thouvenel, Senator, his Minister and Secretary of State for the Department for Foreign Affairs;

Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :

various purposes in charity cases upon summary ap-sador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Emplication, and particularly in relation to the appoint-peror of the French ; ment and removal of trustees, and the sale, exchange, leasing, and improvement of the property of charities, could be validly exercised by the Charity Commissioners. The act very properly enacts that no provision contained in any such act of Parliament, decree, or order shall exclude any jurisdiction which might otherwise be exercised by the Charity Commissioners. The other act of last session to which we refer, and which is of some importance to be noted by conveyancers, is the 25 & 26 Vict. c. 17, and was passed mainly for the purpose of extending the time for making inrolments under the 24 & 25 Vict. c. 9, intituled “An Act to amend the Law relating to the Conveyance of Land for Charitable Purposes."

The time for the inrolment of deeds and assurances under the last-mentioned act is extended to the 17th May, 1864 (sect. 1).

It next cures, or attempts to cure, a doubt whether the 24 & 25 Vict. c. 9, extends to any hereditaments not of copyhold or customary tenure, by comprising within it all hereditaments, whether of freehold or copyhold or customary tenure, and every estate and interest therein (sect. 2); and deeds or assurances executed prior to the passing of the 24 & 25 Vict. c. 9, are not to require acknowledgment prior to inrolment (sect. 3). The acts, moreover, are to apply to cases of separate deeds, as well after as before the passing of the 24 & 25 Vict. c. 9 (sect. 4).

And money expended before the passing of the act of last session in permanent improvements is to be deemed equivalent, for the purposes of the act, to money actually paid, by way of consideration, for the purchase of the land (sect. 5).

The act of the 24 & 25 Vict. c. 9, doubtless needed the amending hand; it is to be hoped that it has been well and effectually applied.

CONVENTION BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND
THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH RELA-
TIVE TO JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.

SIGNED AT PARIS, APRIL 30, 1862.
[Ratifications exchanged at Paris, May 15, 1862.]

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, having judged it expedient to come to an understanding in order to define, within their respective dominions and possessions, the position of commercial, industrial, and financial companies and associations constituted and authorised in conformity with the laws in force in either of the two countries, have resolved to conclude a Convention for that purpose, and have named as their Plenipotentiaries; that is to say

ARTICLE I.

The high contracting parties declare that they mutually grant to all companies and other associations, authorised in conformity with the laws in force in commercial, industrial, or financial, constituted and either of the two countries, the power of exercising all their rights, and of appearing before the tribunals, whether for the purpose of bringing an action, or for defending the same, throughout the dominions and possessions of the other power, subject to the sole condition of conforming to the laws of such dominions and possessions.

ARTICLE II.

It is agreed that the stipulations of the preceding article shall apply as well to companies and associations constituted and authorised previously to the signature of the present Convention, as to those which may subsequently be so constituted and authorised.

ARTICLE III.

The present Convention is concluded without limit as to duration. Either of the high powers shall, however, be at liberty to terminate it by giving to the other a year's previous notice. The two high powers, moreover, reserve to themselves the power to introduce into the Convention, by common consent, any modifications which experience may shew to be desirable.

ARTICLE IV.

The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Paris in fifteen days, or sooner if possible.

In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms.

COMMON THINGS MADE PLAIN.—First, then, beginning, like a thief, with a little candid aversion towards the Bankers' Drafts Act. First as to the preamble. all acts; preamble and enactment, how stands it with Doubts had not arisen as to the obligations of bankers with respect to cross-written drafts, but inconveniences had arisen from such obligations. There was not, and never had been, a doubt, or anything more than the state of mind before or after asking a question of those accustomed to think for us, and able and willing to answer. Then there was no doubt, and there was no Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of call to say that there was, because it was not true, and Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hon. Henry there was nothing to be gained by it. Then as to the Richard Charles Earl Cowley, her Majesty's Ambas-enactment. Is there any one, to whom drafts are a

concern, that does not perfectly know what a crossed draft is? Is there any such person who, if asked what it was, would not answer in the terms or to the effect of the definition in the first section? Then why give that definition?-whom does it instruct?-to whom does it bring certainty? If to none, why words for the sake of words? Why might not the enactment run thus:-"A crossed draft on any banker made payable to bearer, or to order on demand, shall be payable only to or through some banker." You want nothing more. You need not add the plural. If the definition of "banker" be, one who exercises the trade or business of banking, and that trade or business is usually exercised by several in partnerships or societies, as well as by single individuals, the word "banker" is a noun of multitude, and is both singular and plural. It is so especially in a sentence designed to apply exclusively to the subject, banker; and it is not only idle, but mischievous, to declare that the term used is to be deemed to include "any person or persons, or corporation, or joint-stock or other company, acting as a banker or bankers:" idle, because needless; and mischievous, because forcing a necessity for frivolous and dangerous surplusage in like cases. The enumeration of particulars excludes the general, and if in the enumeration one particular be omitted, your enactment may be gone.-Thoughts on Legal Discontent, 1857.

THE SOCIAL WRONGS OF SOLICITORS.-The solicitors are the advisers of their fellow-subjects in their most important affairs. They are trusted, and they advise. If they will consider, with Sir Charles Lyell," the confidential nature of the business they transact, the extent of property committed to their charge, the manner in which they are consulted in family affairs of the utmost delicacy, as in the framing of marriage contracts and wills; and observe, moreover, how the management of elections falls into their hands;" and then, if they will consider a little for themselves, how weakly their great and important duties are described in this inverted comma-this little twist and great blot of a paragraph-what various knowledge (and herein of the outlines of law in all its branches, and its minute points in some) they must possess, even to instruct the counsel, the living book they consult on details; and added to this, what diversified experiences of life, manner, and motives, what quickness of apprehension, soundness of judgment, and readiness of resources, they must bring to the discharge of their duties, and then reflect a little by what means, through what multiplied inlets, they have acquired and improved this knowledge and experience; and when they have done this, if they will turn to the counsel-I had almost said to the hermit-and note the distinct and separate character of his functions, the comparative uniformity of his duties, the severe course of study, the concentrated application of the chief powers of the mind to one engrossing subject-they may, I think, learn to question a little the charity and judgment of those who talk of artificial lines of demarcation and depression of social rank. A life given up to advise, assist, direct, control, defend, from peer to peasant, the highest and lowest of all classes-from day to day, and hour to hour, to answer a constant call on knowledge, judgment, integrity, liberality, spirit, and coU-FRANKLIN, JOHN JENKIN, Bristol, glasscutter, Oct. 31, Bristol.

The plain particular truth is, that as long as there are rich and poor among clients, there must be rich and poor among solicitors, and each of them must take and maintain his social position by the force of his own personal character; and this the chiefs of them know well, and would not have otherwise.-Thoughts on Legal Discontent, 1857.

WHARTON'S LAW LEXICON.-Second Edition.
In royal 8vo., 1860, price 17. 58.,

THE LAW LEXICON; or, DICTIONARY of

JURISPRUDENCE; explaining the Technical Words and Phrases employed in the several Departments of English Law; including the various Legal Terms used in Commercial Transactions. Together with contained in the Writings of the Ancient and Modern Commentators. an Explanatory as well as Literal Translation of the Latin Maxims By J. S. WHARTON, Esq., M.A., Oxon, Barrister at Law, Author of "The Articled Clerk's Manual," &c. Second Edition, enlarged.

"The task was one of the utmost difficulty, and, upon the whole, Mr. Wharton has achieved it in a creditable manner. Law students will find it of the utmost utility, for there is scarcely any subject relating to law on which they may not here obtain useful information, or, at all events, a hint as to where to look for it. . . . . We must not omit to notice the very large number of legal maxims which the book contains. They are always accompanied by a good translation, and sometimes by illustrations of the manner in which they have been applied. Articled clerks, who have not had the benefit of a complete classical education, will be thankful to Mr. Wharton for the manner in which he has discharged this part of his task."-Solicitors' Journal, Jan. 7, 1860.

"Mr. Wharton did not undertake a superfluous toil when he imposed upon himself the enormous labour of getting up a new Law Dictionary, or, as he prefers to call it, a Law Lexicon. The proof that it was wanted, and that he has succeeded in supplying the want, is found in the fact that a second edition has been called for, In this he has introduced many corrections of errors, unavoidable in so large a labour, and numerous additions suggested by readers, as well as by his own researches; and it may now be pronounced the most complete Law Dictionary we possess, and therefore entitled to preference by all who purpose to add that useful and almost indispensable book of reference to their libraries." -Law Times, Feb. 11, 1860.
