week for that purpose. In order to compel such payment, the provisions of the Poor Laws are extended to the act. The statute does not extend to Ireland. With regard to Scotland, a statute of the same session (c. 74) enacts, that vagrant children may be sent to a reformatory or industrial school, unless security be found for their good behaviour, and provides for their compulsory detention until the age of fifteen years or lawful discharge, and also for the expenses, to be recovered from those who are liable to support them. Power is given to the Education Committee of the Privy Council to grant aid to the directors of such schools in Scotland.

tion, and that will be a great good attained. By discussion we shall make an approach to the truth. I commend the subject to you, hoping that at least you will take into consideration what the Legislature, not I alone, have laid before you, as to the institution of reformatory schools throughout the length and breadth of the country. I believe them to be as necessary appendages to every good gaol as the doors, or the locks, or the treadmill, and far more effectual."

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

"I have spoken hitherto of young offenders," said his Lordship upon the occasion alluded to, "but the same principle, mutatis mutandis, is true for the adults also. An adult convict is but an overgrown wicked child, who has erred from inherently vicious dispositions, defective instruction, or evil example. He is only in his habits and organisation a child grown larger and stronger, but the same method of reforming him must be, as for children, to change his habits-to excite his powers, dormant as yet, of moral restraint by firm and wholesome severity, accompanied, however, with kindness. Depend on it he has a heart, though at pre-opinion as to the validity of the plea. sent incrusted over, and insensible from misery perhaps, and vice.

In Towns and Another v. Mead (C. P., Jan. 18) it has been decided, that where there are two joint contractors, and one is abroad at the time of the accruing not begin to run until his death or his return to this of the cause of action, the Statute of Limitations does country.

"Try to touch that heart-let him feel that though you punish you do it for his good-substitute firm and gentle severity for mere unreasoning vengeance, and cultivate what still is left of moral power originally possessed by him. Quench not the smoking flax of his agonised repentance, and you will have a good chance of success even with him. But treat him firmly-do not spare to make him suffer for his crime. What he wants is moral power to resist temptation. In this, as it seems to me, the evil of penitentiaries, which are solely dependent on the effect of separate imprisonment, consists. The defect of mere separate imprisonment is this, that the patient is by it too often subdued, but not reformed. He still wants the strength which social habits alone can give him, to fit him for a return to the world from which he has been shut out for a long period. He is, perhaps, convalescent, but not cured; and it ends too often in a fatal relapse. Besides, it is a discipline which does not suit all; some require to be subdued, others to be supported; and for this reason there should be some prison or penitentiary in which, after separate confinement, the prisoner should carefully and gradually be accustomed to work in common with others before his ultimate discharge. For the most part he should be subjected to hard labour, skilled or otherwise, for this is the best remedy and security against relapse; not, as I think, to be unaccompanied with some profit arising from that labour, and given to the criminal. God governs us all by rewards as well as punishments; why should we not, at however remote a distance, try to follow the course of His government, which is always the wisest and best?

"I have now, perhaps at too great a length, offered some suggestions on these important subjects to you. I wish you to turn them in your own intelligent minds. You may not agree with me, but at least to think about them will conduce to settle your minds on the ques

In Steel v. Haddock (Exch., Jan. 18) a plea on equitable grounds was allowed to be pleaded to an action of trover, to the effect that the goods had been intended to have been sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, but by mistake had been omitted from the contract, although the defendant had paid the purchase money. The Court, however, did not express any

In Hawkins v. Gathercole, the Lords Justices have held, (Jan. 19), contrary to the opinion of the present Lord Chancellor when he was Vice-Chancellor, that a judgment registered under the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, does not create a charge upon an ecclesiastical benefice. In Lord Justice Turner's judgment there are some valuable observations upon the construction of statutes in general.

has decided that a judge of a county court has no right In Hill v. Swift, the Court of Exchequer (Jan. 17) to amend the particulars of demand by reducing the sum claimed to 50%., so as to give himself jurisdiction. Avards v. Rhodes (8 Exch. 312) was cited and acted upon.

In Walton v. Borthwick (Com. P., Jan. 22) an order for goods was given in Oxford to a traveller tions for them to be delivered at the railway stafor a Manchester house, together with express direction at Manchester. By leave of the judge, under the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, s. 60, an action was brought for the price in the Manchester County Court. It was held that the Court had no jurisdiction to try it, as under the section in question the whole cause of action must arise in the district of trial; and the order, which was part of the cause of action, was given in Oxford. We have received a letter upon this case, in which our correspondent states that, if acted upon, it will cut up largely county court practice, as about fifty cases a week come before a county court with which he is acquainted which are decided upon in a manner contrary to this view of the Court of Common Pleas. A similar point is now pending before the Court of Exchequer. The county court judges have few questions of more difficulty to decide than those which arise under this section as to the meaning of the words cause of action."

[From the Builder, Jan. 20, 1855.]

OUR London readers, at all events, are aware that for some time past differences have prevailed between the official referees and the registrar of metropolitan buildof the law, have tended to bring it into disrepute, and ings, which have greatly impeded the proper execution have increased the difficulties of the district surveyors. The operation of the differences of opinion is, that on considering the decisions come to by the referees, the registrar conceives, in various cases, that they have proceeded erroneously, and refuses to seal their awards. When sent to the Board of Works, the Board sometimes authorise the registrar to affix his seal of office to the intercepted documents, thus overruling his objections, but more commonly confirm his refusal of the seal, and the whole of the litigation is thus suspended. The Board of Works have at times intimated to the referees that it was their duty either to alter the already executed documents, or else to make others; but the The latter offered, referees felt they could not do so. however, to record any decree avowedly on the responsibility of the Board of Works acting as an appellate court; but this was declined.

In party-wall cases, of great importance to individuals, a special difficulty was found. Unless there is error on the face of the certificate given by the district surveyor, or an appeal is brought by one of the parties, its confirmation by the official referees is a matter of course, and they consider there should clearly be no hearing of the parties on it. But the registrar thinks differently, and withholds the seal from certificates of confirmation on that ground; although, if the parties decision of the official referees is made final by the did appear, and the official referees heard them, the

24th section.

Under these circumstances, the referees thought it necessary to obtain the opinion of counsel, and a case was prepared and submitted to Sir Richard Bethell, Solicitor-General, Mr. Serjeant Byles, and Mr. Charles Winston. The question mainly was as to the nature of the control over the acts of the referees vested in the registrar and the Board of Works; and we give so much of their reply as answers this. The remainder advises as to the mode in which the referees should take the opinion of a Court of law upon it :

"We are of opinion that the instruments required to be sealed, under sect. 89, are of two classes:

"First, certificates, summonses, and consents granted by the official referees, and expressly required to be sealed, by sects. 15, 16, 85, and 117.

"Secondly, an award, when it is proposed to enforce it by process from the Court of Queen's Bench, (sect. 83), and a copy of it when wanted for evidence, (sect. 86)."

Over the first class of documents the registrar and the commissioners have a controlling power. The registrar may refuse to affix his seal of office, where on the face of it the document appears to him contrary to law, or where it is informal or manifestly ultra vires. The commissioners may review the registrar's decision, but must proceed on the same grounds.

and copies of awards, we are of opinion that neither reBut over the second class of documents, viz. awards gistrar nor commissioners have any controlling power, but that the duty of the registrar to fix the seal is purely ministerial.

We are further of opinion, that, upon a submission to the referees in their judicial character of a question between party and party, as soon as they have once

made their award they are functi officio; that they can neither make a second award nor (which is really the same thing) alter their first award; and more than that, we think it would be very dangerous for them to attempt it, for in an action for damages for acts done under the authority and direction of an altered award they might be unable to shelter themselves under the protection of the act of Parliament.
