COURT OF APPEAL IN CHANCERY. 779 ADVERTISEMENTS. 782 783 786 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. PRICE 18. Reg. v. The Zoological Society of London.-(Poorrate-" Zoological Society"-Purposes of Science exclusively — Annual voluntary Contributions· 6 & 7 Vict. c. 36, s. 1).... 786 788 Trader Commission ..... 790 (County Courts), intituled "An Act to amend an Act The Scale of Charges for Advertisements will in future be of the 13 & 14 Vict. c. 61, and 15 & 16 Vict. c. 54." as follows: WE are somewhat consoled for the comparative barrenness of the last Session of Parliament by the fact, that we have not only fewer statutes, in point of number, added to the mass, but also that they are respectively shorter in form than is generally the case. The same causes that led to the withdrawal of so many bills induced also the striking out, or the abbreviation, of clauses in those which reached the final stage of the royal assent. Among those which were deemed worthy of this honour, several will be found of great practical importance; and we propose to lay the substance of these briefly before our readers, with such comments as they may suggest. The number of statutes passed in the Session of 1854 (17 & 18 Victoriæ) are 125; and omitting those enact ments which relate to the army, the navy, and the militia, together with the concomitant statutes for increased income-tax, and others of a less interesting character, we come to the stat. 17 & 18 Vict. c. 16, VOL. XVIII. I I It will be remembered that the Court of Exchequer decided that no appeal lay from a county court in cases where the claim exceeded 501., and was brought by agreement of the parties within its jurisdiction. By this act the right of appeal is given in such cases; but it may be excluded if the parties express their desire, in the memorandum of agreement filed with the clerk of the court, that the decision of the county court judge shall be final. By a former act (15 & 16 Vict. c. 54, s. 18) a registry of every county court judgment for the sum of 10%. and upwards is to be kept; and that provision is now, by the 2nd section of this act, extended to all petitions for protection from process made to a county court. It is sufficient merely to mention the 17 & 18 Vict. c. 25, for amending "the Industrial and Provident Societies Act, 1852;" and c. 26, for assimilating "the law and practice existing in cases of high treason in Ireland to the law and practice existing in cases of high treason in England." Stat. 17 & 18 Vict. c. 31, "the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854."-By this act every railway and canal company is to afford all reasonable facilities for the conveyance of traffic, both on their own railways and canals and on those near* to them, and not to shew any undue preference in favour of any particular class of persons or description of goods. (Sect. 2). In case terminus, or wharf of one company is not more than a mile *The word "near," by sect. 1, means where the station, from that of another, such stations not being within five miles from St. Paul's. of any violation of this act, complaint may be made by summons or on motion to the Court of Common Pleas, or any judge thereof*, who may direct necessary inquiries to be made by engineers, barristers, or others, and restrain the company, by writ of injunction or interdict, from violating the act, and enforce obedience thereto by attachment of the directors, or some of them, or other person disobeying the writ, and direct payment of a sum not exceeding 2007. for each day, after a day to be named in the order, that the company shall fail to obey the writ, and the money shall be payable as the court or a judge may direct, to the party complaining, or into court to abide the ultimate decision, or to the Queen. Costs may also be awarded. (Sect. 3). A rehearing may be directed, and the order varied or rescinded. (Sect. 5). For the purpose of obviating the effect of recent decisions, that railway companies may limit their liability as to animals and the like, even in cases of gross negligence, (Carr v. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, 17 Jur., part 1, p. 379; 21 L. J., Ex., 261; Chippendale v. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, 21 L. J., Q. B., 22; The Great Northern Railway Company v. Morville, 16 Jur., part 1, p. 528; Austin v. The Manchester Railway Company, 16 Jur., part 1, p. 763), it is enacted, that every such company is to be liable for the loss of, or any injury done to, horses or other animals, or to any goods, occasioned by the neglect or default of the company or its servants, notwithstanding any notice or condition contrary thereto, or in anywise limiting such liability, every such notice, condition, or declaration being declared to be void; but such conditions, with respect to the receiving, forwarding, and delivering the said animals, &c., may be made as shall be adjudged, by the court or judge before whom any question relating thereto shall be tried, to be just and reasonable; and no greater damages shall be recovered than as follow:For a horse, 501.; for any neat cattle, per head, 157.; for any sheep or pigs, per head, 27.; unless the person sending them declares them to be of higher value, in which case the company may charge a reasonable per-centage in addition to the ordinary rate, and such per-centage is to be notified in the manner prescribed by the Carriers Act, 11 Geo. 4 & 1 Will. 4, c. 68+. of the United Kingdom at a trial in another part, provides for the issuing of process by special order for that purpose, and also, if sufficient money has been tendered for the expenses of coming, attending, and returning from the trial, for the punishment of the party disobeying such process, (sects. 1-4); but the act is not to affect the power of the Courts to issue a commission, or the admissibility of any evidence at any trial, where such evidence is now receivable, on the ground of any witness being beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. (Sects. 5, 6). Stat. 17 & 18 Vict. c. 36, "an act for preventing frauds upon creditors by secret bills of sale of personal chattels," enacts, that every bill of sale of personal chattels made after the passing of the act, (10th July, 1854), and every schedule or inventory thereto, or a true copy thereof, and of every attestation of the execution thereof, shall, together with an affidavit of the time of such bill being made or given, and a description of the residence and occupation of the person making or giving the same, and of the attesting witness to such bill, be filed with the Clerk of the Docquets and Judgments in the Queen's Bench within twenty-one days after the making or giving such bill, (in like manner as a warrant of attorney in any personal action given by a trader*), or it shall be void against assignees in bankditors, and against execution creditors, so far as regards ruptcy or insolvency, assignees for the benefit of crethe property in such goods which at or after the time of such bankruptcy, &c., and after the expiration of the said period of twenty-one days, shall be in the possesbill of sale. (Sect. 1+). If the bill is subject to any sion or apparent possession of the person making such defeasance or condition or declaration of trust not contained in it, such defeasance, &c. shall be taken, for the purposes of this act, to be part of the bill, and shall be written on the same paper or parchment before the filing thereof, or the bill shall be void as if it had not been filed. (Sect. 2). The officer is to keep a book containing the particulars of each bill of sale so filed, and any judge of the Court of Queen's Bench may order satisfaction to be entered upon any bill of sale, if it appears to him that the debt has been satisfied. (Sects. 3-6). The interpretation clause shews what meanings are to be affixed to "bill of sale" and "perin the "apparent possession" of the person making the sonal chattels," and when the latter are to be deemed bill of sale. (Sect. 7). It is remarkable, that although this act contains provisions so materially affecting the rights of parties The proof of value, and of the amount of injury, taking bills of sale, and allows only twenty-one days is always to be on the party claiming compensation. future period was fixed for its coming into operation: for registration from the execution or giving thereof, no No special contract between the company and any it thus took effect immediately from the time of its reparty respecting the receiving, forwarding, or deliver-ceiving the royal assent, (10th July, 1854), and in coning of animals, &c., shall be binding upon such party unless the same be signed by him, or by the person delivering the animals, &c. (Sect. 7). General rules for carrying the act into execution may be framed. (Sect. 4). Stat. 17 & 18 Vict. c. 34, (Evidence), after reciting the inconvenience of the superior Courts not being able to compel the attendance of witnesses resident in one part *This is the only mode of proceeding for a violation of the above enactments. Provision is also made for complaints in Ireland and Scotland. (Sect. 2). Nothing in the principal act contained is to affect the rights or liabilities of any company under the Carriers Act with respect to articles of the descriptions therein mentioned. sequence of this, there are doubtless many instances in which parties, ignorant of the enactment, have failed to register their bills of sale within the limited period. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Neville Court of the Province of New Brunswick, with rank Parker, Esq., to be a Puisne Judge of the Supreme and precedence in the said Court next after the Chief Justice; and Joseph Hensley, Esq., to be AttorneyGeneral, and Dennis O'Meara, Esq., to be SolicitorGeneral, for the Island of Prince Edward. * See 2 Arch. Prac., by Chitty, 862-866. It also provides in similar terms for bills of sale "made or given by any person under or in the execution of any process." (See sect. 1). |
