THE PARISH: its Obligations and Powers; its Officers

and their Duties. With Illustrations of the Practical Working of this Institution in all Secular Affairs. By TOULMIN SMITH, of Lincoln's-inn, Esq., Barrister at Law.

"Parishes were instituted for the ease and benefit of the people."Chief Justice Holt.

"Cum haud pauca quæ omnino fieri necesse sit, alii autem ob innatam superbiam subterfugiant, ipse sustineam et exsequar."-Bacon, De Augmentis Scientiarum, lib. 7, cap. 1.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Every overseer, churchwarden, vestryman, or other active parishioner who would know what are his constitutional duties, what are his rights, what he can do, and what he ought to do, should take Mr. Toulmin Smith's volume as a text-book. Mr. Smith does

especial good service in setting forth how thoroughly the parish is a secular institution, in its first intention as in its whole structure; and how unjustifiable is every attempt to subject its free system of representative government to the despotism of its pulpit. We may call this the basis or foundation on which the whole book rests. Mr. Smith treats of the history of parishes; dignifies the vestry with historical research upon its constitution; discusses the legal and constitutional position of every parish officer in detail, from the churchwarden to the beadle, the sexton, and the vestry clerk; treats upon parochial committees and trustees; has a chapter upon the position of the parson; and enlarges upon all the powers of a parish, whether they concern its roads, its records, its health, the care of its poor, its fire-engines, or any other thing belonging to it. The law concerning rates and taxes (each rate and tax being discussed separately) is also explained; and many suggestions are thrown out, under these various heads of discussion, having in view the throwing of fresh life into parochial business. We see no reason why every man who loves his parish should not give a hearty welcome to this useful book, and so secure it a wide audience."-Examiner.

"Mr. Toulmin Smith's great practical experience of the subject treated necessarily gives a peculiar value to this book; and besides the author's practical knowledge, his learning on the subject is of the soundest and most practical nature. In the multitude of

constitutional, legal, and practical matters of the very highest value, and of vital importance to the existence of England as a free and wellgoverned country, it is not easy to select any particular chapters or sections as specimens of the whole."-Jurist.

"Mr. Toulmin Smith has devoted a great portion of his life to the study of the old forms of liberty which our ancestors bequeathed us, especially in respect to parish affairs; and as a consequence of his labours, we have now an elaborate book on The Parish,' which will be found, we think, to contain all the information upon this voluminous question which the simple subject of this realm may need. As a lawyer, Mr. Toulmin Smith is able to go into those details about parish duties and parish rights which every free inhabitant of this country ought to know; and as the book is written for the instruction of the public in general, and not the legal class in particular, and as it is quite a novelty and desideratum, it will be received as a great boon and a considerable authority. The author deals with the obligations and powers of an English parish meeting, and the officers and duties of the parish; and he gives illustrations of the practical working of the parish institution in all secular affairs. And at the end of the book there is a copious index, which enables the reader at once to turn to the text for the solution of any difficulty in connexion with parish matters." -Empire.

"Mr. Toulmin Smith has highly distinguished himself as an uncompromising champion of ancient Anglo-Saxon institutions, amongst which the coroner's court holds a prominent place. His work entitled The Parish' is a remarkable protest against a centralising spirit, which is one of the characteristics of modern legislation.. book displays considerable erudition, and is admirably written."Lancet.

His

"This book is so written as to combine profound and accurate legal learning and professional and practical knowledge with a popular and untechnical exposition of the subject-matter. . . . . ..... Independently of the legal and practical value of this book as a trustworthy guide to parish officers in the performance of their duties, it has a constitutional and historical value of no ordinary kind."-Glohe.

"This book is an interesting one, containing much practical information concerning parochial duties, with which it concerns every one to be conversant; and its utility will not be by any means confined to those who agree in the opinions of the writer."-Morning Post.

"The parish stands, or ought to stand, in the same relation with regard to the ratepayers as the kingdom does to its Parliament. But the means of knowing his rights and duties have hitherto been denied to a man of ordinary education and means. The book now be fore our notice will be of great service in supplying this hiatus. Written in a condensed form and comprehensible style, it combines the accuracy of a law-book with the pleasant tone of an essay and the usefulness of a dictionary. . . . . As a practical treatise of reference, we can sincerely recommend this book to our readers..... Let them place it upon their library tables, and they need never be at fault upon a point of law or practice as to what is required of them as parishioners, or be unable to perform their ordinary duty as such according to law and their own satisfaction."-Manchester Daily Times.

"No living man has contributed so much to the proper understanding and due appreciation of the ancient municipal institutions of England as the author of the volume before us. . . . . The writer's erudite acquaintance with the subject in all its bearings renders him an eminently trustworthy authority. . . . . His present work contains a mass of rare and serviceable information, written in a clear and untechnical manner, and which cannot fail to be of the highest interest and value to those seeking either to fulfil the important duties of parish action, or to understand how such duties may best be fulfilled. Indeed, the author is fairly entitled to say that so much practical illustration of parish action has never previously been published in any work on the subject." -Sheffield Free Press.

DART'S VENDORS AND PURCHASERS.

A COMPENDIUM of the LAW and PRACTICE of

VENDORS and PURCHASERS of REAL ESTATES; comprising the Authorities down to the Time of Publication. By J. HENRY DART, Esq., Barrister at Law. Second Edition. In 8vo., price 21s. boards.

"In the case of Ware v. Lord Egmont the Vice-Chancellor referred to this work in these terms:-'A learned text-writer on this subject, Mr. Dart, in a book of very great merit, his Vendors and Purchasers,' enters into a disquisition on this judgment,' &c."-18 Jurist, p. 372. "In conclusion, we recommend this work to the practitioner as a complete book, and one that will warrant his confidence, and furnish able assistance in all matters relating to the sale and purchase of estates; and we think no better book can be read by students, for the purpose of giving them a condensed view of the subject, and enabling them to see the application of those principles and rules with which a general study of the law has furnished them."-Law Student's Magazine.

"Mr. Dart's labours have produced in this compendium a readable book for the use of beginners. He has paid particular attention to the attainment of a logical arrangement, and a clear and concise style... Without sacrificing its character as an elementary treatise, Mr. Dart has also made an useful book of practice. . . . The work is well worthy of a place, not only in the general library, but in that selection of books which the working lawyer looks upon as his best tools; which come most readily to his hand, and which he gets to look upon as a part of himself."-Law Review, May 1, 1851.

"The work is short, readable, and very accurate. . . . With these quotations we will close our notice of a work which is obviously prepared with great care, and will, we think, become a standard text-book."Jurist, March 2, 1851.

"Its plan is well arranged, the cases are carefully collected, the law is clearly expounded, and in every part of the treatise there is a great deal of learning. . . . The style is singularly compact."-Law Times, March 8, 1851. Stevens & Norton, 26, Bell-yard, Lincoln's-inn.

works as this contains cases

* Vol. 1 may be had, price 17. 11s. 6d. boards. "A mass of matter, cases, arguments, and discussions, thrown together in a work of such bulk, is like a library containing as many different presenting the authorities on each point in the ipsissima verba of judicial decisions, but connecting, modifying, approving, or condemning them in his own words, which will be deservedly considered of little less weight by the student than the dicta to which they relate. . . . Such is the variety of topics, subdivided into an almost infinite ramification of cases and points, into which the learned author is necessarily led. Few writers, we apprehend, could be found sufficiently persevering to pursue every topic in such a list with the same untiring vigour, till each in its turn was exhausted; few would have the learning, fewer still the resolution."-Law Magazine, "We must far surpass the limits of an article were we to attempt to discuss, with any sort of completeness, the vast variety of subjects which Mr. Spence's second volume contains-subjects treated by him with a fulness of detail indispensable in a book designed, not only as a guide, pointing out to the student the great principles upon which the law in its complexities of actual business depends, and tracing the mutual connexion of those extensive provinces of equity with whose details he is expected to become familiar, but also as a storehouse, from whose well-arranged repositories the practising lawyer may readily furnish himself with the armour needed for the conflicts of the Bar."-Law Review, No. 22.

No. 22.

"There remains a vast amount of valuable information, both theoretical and practical, upon topics not to be found in any of the recent treatises, which must be carried to the sole credit of Mr. Spence's own original and laborious investigations; and from this results the peculiar character of the book, that it is at once trite and recherché, containing all the stock information on subjects within its scope which may be found in the current text-books, and, superadded to these, the result of an experienced lawyer's researches in neglected paths, and resumés of, or criticisms (where criticism is called for) on, the most recent decisions, doctrines, and innovations of the Court of Chancery. . . . . A more dense mass of living law, available alike for study, reference, and practice, has seldom been presented to the Profession."-Jurist, No. 668. "The reader, however, will be surprised at the mass of information which it contains; all the principal branches of learning are explored. ... There never was less book-making in any book than in this."Law Magazine, N. S., No. 8.

"A work which promises to be one of the most learned and philosophical treatises on the largest branch of British jurisprudence which our language has produced."-Law Times. Stevens & Norton, 26, Bell-yard, Lincoln's-inn.

Ir must be admitted by the warmest advocate for trial by jury, that decisions sometimes emanate from the jury-box of so extraordinary a nature as to create reasonable doubts whether we are right in our mode of selecting those who fill it, and requiring unanimity in their finding. Among them are doubtless the ignorant, the prejudiced, the obstinate, and those also of "little learning," who, having once made up their aninds to a certain view of a subject, will adhere to that view in spite of every consideration that may be presented to them. That such elements in the jurybox may produce incalculable mischief we think is illustrated by the case of Elizabeth Avis Law, who was tried for murder before Platt, B., at the recent assizes held at Maidstone. The main features of this case were as follows:-A Mrs. Bacon, an elderly lady, had for some years occupied house at Chatham, and the only person living with her on the 29th January last, the day on which the murder was committed, was the prisoner, a girl of twenty, who had been in Mrs. Bacon's service for two or three months. On the day referred to, at ten minutes past eight in the morning, a woman who supplied Mrs. Bacon with milk knocked at the front door, which was answered by the prisoner, and nothing peculiar was then remarked in her manner or appearance. It was proved that the front door at night was fastened by a lock and chain, but in the daytime it was usual to leave it on the latch. At a quarter past nine two boys had gone to the door, and after knocking and ringing some five minutes, the prisoner was heard coming towards the door, and something was then heard to slide back, as if a bolt was being

undone. On the door being opened, the boys saw that the prisoner's throat was cut, and the blood running down her neck from the wound. The lifeless body of the mistress of the house was then found lying upon the threshold of her own bed-room. She was dressed, with the exception of her gown. It was proved that her death, which in all probability had been instantaneous, was caused by repeated blows on the head from some blunt instrument. The face had been washed, and was still wet with blood-stained water. Although the body was found upstairs, yet, upon a minute examination of the premises, it was apparent that the murder had been committed in the lower part of the house, for in the cellar a large quantity of blood was found, and near it a chopper or hatchet used for cutting wood, stained with blood, and having upon it some of the gray hair of the deceased. Blood was traced from the cellar to the privy, and there the dress, the shawl, and some false hair which the deceased had usually worn, were found, all of them saturated with blood. In the cellar there were found a pail containing some bloody water, a tea-kettle, and also a flannel discoloured with blood. In the kitchen, which presented no appearance of any struggle, there was a pool of blood near the dresser, upon which was lying a bloody knife. There was also a mark of blood on the dresser, as if made by a finger, and the pool of blood was near enough to it to admit of a person bleeding there, and putting the knife where it was found. In the prisoner's bed-room a dress which she usually wore in the morning was also found stained with blood, and a bunch of keys belonging to the deceased, which she usually carried about with her, and which would enable the prisoner to obtain access to the boxes in which the deceased usually kept the cash she had in the house, which amounted
