tion, there would be nothing in the fact of his recovering damages, to deprive him of the injunction and account, to which the result of the action shews that

INTERESTS BILL.

By this bill it is proposed to authorise "every mar

he had a title at the time he filed his bill. But how-ried woman by deed to dispose of every future and reever that might have been in a case where, after filing a bill and moving for an injunction, the patentee had recovered substantial damages-a case which we believe has never arisen, because the invariable practice was to take a verdict only with nominal damages-there could be no doubt that, the action being brought under the direction or permission of the Court of equity, and to inform it whether the plaintiff had a legal title or not, it was quite and strictly consistent with the principle of the relief asked, that, after the recovery of a verdict with nominal damages, the plaintiff should

have his account.

But if, on the other hand, a patentee had proceeded at law for damages, and recovered damages, on what ground could he then come into equity? The Court of equity gives an injunction, not to punish for the past, but to restrain for the future. If a patentee files his bill, alleging that he has recovered damages for the past infringement, and not alleging threats or danger of future infringement, on what would his equity rest? The very nature of the action involves the complete satisfaction of the wrong done to the plaintiff. Damages mean compensation for the injury. They must include the profit, if any, made by the defendant, (though they may also go further), otherwise they would not be damages for the wrong done. This would be clear if the damages recovered were substantial damages. Why, then, should it differ the case that they are nominal? In either case the plaintiff has recovered either what he considered, or what the jury considered for him, compensation for the wrong; and if after that he went into equity, equity would, we apprehend, consider the past wrong as accounted for, and decline to add to, or interfere with, the decision of the jury. It would hold that the plaintiff had elected his remedy; that he preferred damages to a mere account of profits; and that having obtained them, his old equity was gone.

Then that being so, his equity for an injunction failing, his equity for an account would fail on that ground alone, even if it did not fail on the ground that he had already had compensation; for equity holds that in cases of waste-and infringement of a patent is in the nature of waste-the account is ancillary to the injunction; if there is no title to an injunction, there can be none to an account. The rationality of this doctrine we are not called upon to defend; but that it is the doctrine of equity may be seen by consulting Parrott v. Palmer, (3 My. & K. 641).

The Queen has been pleased to appoint Alan Ker, Esq., to be Chief Justice for the Island of Nevis.

versionary interest, whether vested or contingent, of such married woman, or her husband in her right, as fully and effectually as she could do if she were a feme sole; and also to release and extinguish her right or equity to a settlement out of any personal estate to which she, or her husband in her right, may be entitled in possession, save and except that no such disposition, release, or extinguishment shall be valid unless the husband concur in the deed by which the same shall be effected, nor unless the deed be acknowledged by her as hereinafter directed:" the acknowledgment being that required in respect of land by the Fines and Recoveries Act, the whole of the provisions of which act, relating to dispositions of land by married women, including the provisions for dispensing with the husband's concurrence, are to be extended to dispositions under the proposed act.

This is, at the best, beginning at the wrong end of the chapter on the rights and disabilities of married women. The enabling married women to dispose of all their interests, whether vested or contingent, in real estate, was a necessary concession to the wants of society, which require that there should be as little obstruction as possible to the alienation of land. But no inconVenience to society can arise from tying up a married woman's reversionary interest in Consols, or in any other permanent fund; and the proposed bill would, without any assignable reason, other than the desire of conveyancers to break every fetter that is not specially forged by themselves, deprive many married women of an important protection against their own improvidence or their husbands' tyranny. It may be said that it may sometimes be beneficial to the wife to anticipate her reversion. Very possibly. So it may sometimes be desirable to upset any settlement. No arrangement for the future is certain to be the best possible; but unless we are prepared to abolish settlement altogether, it seems to be the wisest course to adhere to the letter of disability, unless, as in the case of land, there is some every settlement in favour at least of objects under clear reason of public policy for interfering. We repeat, that, in the majority of cases, it would be far more beneficial to the married woman to tie her hands than to loose them.

If any of the disabilities of married women are to be removed, let the first attack be made on those laws which make them the slaves of their husbands without even the slave's privilege of acquiring a peculium by their own industry, and on the law which, in the absence of settlement, gives their property to their husbands.

to a restraint on alienation; but that would be implied, The bill contains no exception of property subject as it is in the corresponding provisions of the Fines and Recoveries Act.

Such are deeds, and of these some are convey"From the wonderful extent of our sway, shewn byances transferring the right to property, as a grant, 'the fact that the sun never sets upon the dominions 'of England, for when the great luminary departs from 'this country, and from Gibraltar, Sierra Leone, the 'islands of Ascension and St. Helena, which are almost longitudinally parallel with us, it rises upon New-or "foundland, continues its course over the Northern 'Isles, Labrador, and Canada, passes on in its path of 'grandeur from Lake Superior to the West India Isles, 'travels to the island continent of Australia, then sheds its glories upon Ceylon, and proceeds over the extensive empire of Hindustan," &c.

The few who, like ourselves, have looked into "A Treatise on Universal Jurisprudence, by John Penfold Thomas, Esq.," (2nd ed., 1829), and been dazzled by his gorgeous dedication to his "august sovereign,' (George IV), in whose "auspicious sway the age of gold which early fable sketched is realised," will perceive that Mr. Wharton has betrayed the state of his morals as well as of his taste by copying Mr. Thomas's rubbish verbatim, without acknowledgment. Thomas's dedication to his fat friend is followed by a "Proëm," in which he says, "Neckar had too much reason reproachfully to describe us as ' Les Anglais sorties depuis long temps des écoles de la philosophie legislative"". a sentence which Mr. Wharton also appropriates, and appends as a tag to the geographical plunder. Time was when a Thomas would have been deemed safe from literary robbery :-" cantabit vaccuus.' But Juvenal knew not Wharton.

For the benefit of those who may not see the full significance of the foregoing specimen, we will go a little deeper into the book. It professes to contain courses of study; what they are like may be readily guessed from an inspection of the author's index of books cited, criticised, and recommended." The list

Simple or parol contracts "are neither of record nor under seal, and it makes no difference whether they are in writing or verbal, express or implied, except 'that a written and express contract is easier of proof." (P. 48). No hint of the Statute of Frauds.

Forfeitures on bonds and covenants are also relievable in equity, on the ground that accident alone has prevented their ful'filment." (P. 177).

In the chapter on Medical Jurisprudence ("a science interesting and serviceable, it teaches us the economy of our physical machinery, and the mental and bodily imperfection of our frail nature"-Pref., p. ix) we are told that "the animal poisons are Cantharides (Spanish fly) and poisonous articles of food;" and that "narcotic" is a synonym of "excharotic" [caustic.] (P. 450).

The above extracts will enable our readers to warn their young friends against wasting their money and "The Articled Clerk's Manual." If we are asked what book of advice they should buy, we answer that we do not know any one of very recent date. The first edition of Mr. Warren's Introduction to Law Studies (1835) is, on the whole, the best. With all its faults it contains much sound advice, and is better adapted than any book we know to elevate the beginner's views of his profession, and excite his industry and emulation. The second edition (1845) is greatly overdone, and by no means so well fitted for its purpose as the first. Mr. Warren's selection of books is too voluminous, and now somewhat obsolete. As we do not know where a course of elementary reading, adapted to the present state of the law and its literature, is to be found, we will here give a list of the best elementary books, in the order in which they should be read:

Stephen's Commentaries, (this is very inferior to Blackstone, but there is no good edition of Blackstone of very recent date-Blackstone, by Stewart, should be avoided); Williams's Law of Real Property; Williams's Law of Personal Property; Hayes's Introduction to Conveyancing; J. W. Smith's Compendium of Mercantile Law; Adams on the Doctrine of Equity, (an excellent work, though little known); J. W. Smith's Law of Contracts; J. W. Smith's Elementary View of the Proceedings in an Action at Law, (a new edition is promised); and Best's Principles of the Law of Evidence.

We do not recommend any books on law or equity pleading and practice. The articled clerk will find in Stephens, Smith, (action at law), and Adams, sufficient elementary information on these subjects to illustrate his office practice, and should postpone a deeper study until he has finished the course mentioned above, when probably he will find the existing systems very much changed, and will have to learn from books yet

unwritten.
