Italian manufacturers, making plans and models of the machinery; yet for this importation he was afterwards rewarded by Parliament by a considerable grant of money. Now, as Parliament must have been well aware that the communication from a foreigner was in fact a fraud on that foreigner, by making a grant (which Parliament in such matters does in a quasi-judicial capacity) it recognised the claim of the importer for the importation simply, without reference to the mode in which the knowledge was obtained. That much weight would be given to such a precedent at this day is not, however, probable; and the question, if ever it actually again arises, will have, we conceive, to be determined on principle. The principal argument against the exercise of any jurisdiction in the matter would be, that the Crown cannot take cognisance of a fraud committed against a person not its subject, and out of its jurisdiction; that the cognisance of such fraud belongs to the foreign State and its tribunals. But, on the other hand, there are many foreign rights of which the Courts of this country take notice-at least, when the foreigner or his assignee brings them here. Besides, the question is not merely whether the Crown will notice the fraud on the foreigner, with reference to the foreigner's rights, but whether it will exercise a prerogative, exercised ex mero motu, in favour of a party guilty of a fraud in respect of the very subject of the grant which he seeks. The question, which is not at all unlikely to arise again, is not free from great difficulty. First, cases have several times been removed into my courts by actions on the judgment of the superior courts, for the sole purpose that the plaintiffs might obtain the payment of their debts by instalments. Without payment by instalments, the plaintiffs had no chance of payment; for if they imprisoned their debtors, the Insolvent Court would have deprived them of the best chance of payment. Thirdly, tradesmen will grant improvident credit, and the labouring classes especially are willing to accept it. But what was the position of the labouring man before the county courts system permitted the payment of a debt by instalments? If he suspended his dealings, or did not pay what his creditor (not the judge) thought to be enough out of his earnings towards his debt, his home was destroyed, all his goods were sold, he was sent to prison, and the wife and children were sent to the workhouse. This is no exaggeration, and some parliamentary returns, moved for many years since by Mr. D. W. Harvey and others, shew the cruel system that then existed. I have been again and again told that the present system (though abused by some tradesmen, who think it saves the necessity of all inquiry by themselves, and justifies improvident credit)"preserves the hope of a labouring man to get out of his difficulties, and keeps his heart strong and unbroken." Moreover, the public are interested in the opinions of debtors as well as of creditors. Fourthly, the public see what the amount of the instalment is, and how it is measured, namely, by ascertaining what the wages and sources of subsistence of the debtor are. The judge is not in these cases "softhearted." He knows he has the charge of a new institution, and that the favourable opinions entertained towards him are to be carried to the credit of the institution committed to him and to his supervision, and that what he does has the jury of a large community to criticise, not in one, but actually in thousands of similar recurring cases. He cannot be corruptly "soft-hearted," unless incompetent for his office, for his own mind must be governed by a tolerably unerring guide when he knows the usual price of labour in the district in which he acts. Certainly, in the far majority of cases I have heard, both debtor and creditor agree on the amount of the instalment ordered to be paid. Fifthly, I think the fees too high, but the county courts are still by far the cheapest courts in all defended actions; and I affirm that, as respects all defended actions above 207. (for the appeals test these), the system does work well. Sixthly, as respects the "prandial, choreal, comitial, and ecclesiastical predilections" of the county court judges, and "their incomes being effaced by their outgoings," surely your correspondent can only recognise some single acquaintance of his own in this terrible charge. I have certainly rarely visited in my circuit, and in its largest town I have not dined in any private house, yet in that town I have no reason whatever to complain of disrespect. As respects, also, the behaviour of parties in court, I know that the decorum of my court is never disturbed until gentlemen of the bar appear, who commence their displays by assuming they are not required to be themselves decorous. Lastly, if a commission were issued to inquire into the mistakes of the judges of the superior courts, new trials arising out of their errors, compromises because final decisions are too expensive, references to arbitrators because the judge dislikes a long cause, and every plaintiff and defendant were invited to tell his grievances, and circulars were sent to all the attornies of the kingdom to relate the grievances of their clients, and the results were contrasted with the results of the present inquiry respecting county courts, I have no doubt there would be an unanimous verdict that the county courts work far better than the superior courts. A COUNTY COURT JUDGE. Secondly, when the defendant is not a labourer, or a poor man ordained priest, and the debt is on a bill of exchange or a promissory note, or of large amount, or the defendant is about to remove from the district, my rule is-and I believe it to be that of very many other county court judges to order immediate payment of the whole debt and costs, unless, which often happens even in these cases, the plaintiff requests the order to be payment by instalments. But in these cases, if the party cannot pay, and comes up on a judgment summons, (the fees for which are too high), then the law governs the duty of the judge. (County Courts Act, ss. 99, 100). The order must then be made, if there be no misconduct, after an inquiry into the means and ability of the party to pay; and if he cannot pay the whole sum at once, (the plaintiff having had every opportunity to levy an execution under the original order), then it is the duty of the judge to vary the original order, and to make the debt payable by such instalments as are within the means of the defendant to pay. Why should the public be burthened with the maintenance in prison of such a debtor, and why should courts of law aid the gratification and anger of a creditor? The plaintiff gets by these means an almost certain security for the payment of his debt, and with-in a newspaper of wide circulation, that "it was someout this order he would have none. time since settled by official authority, that the receipts RECEIPT STAMPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE JURIST." of money for charitable institutions require a stamp | Bryan Bryan, Esq.; Patrick M'Gregor Robertson, Esq.; under the new Stamp Act." Understanding that by the term "receipts of money for charitable institutions" is meant receipts for voluntary contributions, it seems to me desirable that this settlement of the question should not be acquiesced in. The words in stat. 16 & 17 Vict. c. 59, are, "receipt or discharge given for or upon the payment of any money amounting to two pounds or upwards.' These are the very same words as are used in stat. 55 Geo. 3, c. 184, sched., part 1; the only difference is, that in the earlier statute there is a declaration that "any note, memorandum, or writing whatever given to any person for or upon the payment of money, whereby any sum of money, debt, or demand therein specified shall be expressed or acknowledged to have been paid, settled, balanced, or otherwise discharged or satisfied,.... shall be deemed to be a receipt for a sum of money of equal amount with the sum, debt, or demand so expressed or acknowledged to have been paid, &c., and shall be charged with a duty accordingly." In Tomkins v. Ashby, (6 B. & Cr. 541, 542), Lord Tenterden said, "All these words import that something formerly due has been discharged;" and he held that a memorandum acknowledging that A. B. had left a sum of money in the hands of C. D. was not within the act. This decision of Lord Tenterden shews that the duty under the earlier statute applies only to receipts for the payment of money due, which, in a legal sense, cannot be affirmed of a voluntary contribution any more than of the deposit of a sum of money. No argument in favour of the imposition of the duty can be founded on the omission of the declaration in the recent statute, which in express terms confines the duty to receipts on the payment of money; that is, of money due under a legal obligation to pay it. But the preamble of the recent statute, and sect. 2, which repeals the former stamp duties and imposes the new duty, shew that it was not intended to include instruments in respect of which stamp duty was not before payable. For these reasons I think that the Courts would hold that a receipt for a voluntary contribution to a charitable institution is not liable to duty under stat. 16 & 17 Vict. c. 59.
