bringing them to justice, in the event of their removing to other localities. We were then shewn an earnest of that gentleman's intentions in a very authentic likeness of an old Welsh beggar, who had been picked up for sorning. Since that period, however, the subject has been in abeyance. From the first we saw it was beset with difficulties, but we hesitated not to say that these would disappear before the progress of the art, and that photography would eventually be turned to good account in detecting and repressing crime. A short time ago an Edinburgh contemporary very clearly pointed out the change which crime had assumed since the introduction of railroads and steamers. It had become much more migratory and peripatetic in its character. New classes of thieves had sprung up, designed to suit the changed habits of the people, on the plunder of whom they existed. One class continuously travelled by steamer, while another was closely attached to railway stations. These never confined their operations to one part of the country for any length of time, but were continually changing their habitats to avoid detection. Our contemporary proposed to meet this growing and dangerous evil by establishing a national police, to be composed of men who, without assuming any distinctive uniform by which they could be recognised as police detectives, might travel anywhere and everywhere over the great channels of conveyance throughout the country, and who would make it their study to dodge, hunt down, and bring to justice those migratory professional thieves. The scheme is plausible, and well fitted to root out the evil; but it is nevertheless yet far distant, for it could only be introduced by a considerable change in the present police machinery of the country, which we see no early prospect of obtaining. As an approximation to this system, however, the photographic plan offers great advantages, in illustration of which we might give a case which occurred last week, where a young man and woman were convicted before one of our police courts of shoplifting, and sent for sixty days to prison. The offence was a grave one, and the award was the extreme limit the magistrate could give. The prisoners were total strangers to the police. One gentleman, however, connected with the detective force, perhaps from motives of curiosity, communicated a minute description of them to the Dublin police, suspecting from the accent of the prisoners that they came from that city. The result proved that the man had been no less than eighteen times in prison in Dublin, twelve of these for thefts, and the woman six times in prison for the same offence; in short, that they were professional thieves, who had just changed the scene of their predations from Dublin to Glasgow, Had this been known before their case was disposed of, they could have been dealt with as habit and repute thieves; but under the present system they may pass on from one locality to another, running the course of the petty courts, and being treated as persons brought up for the first time, instead of being transferred to the highest criminal court in the country, and disposed of in terms of their deserts. Now, the aid photography would give in discovering the real character of such offenders will be at once apparent. A mutual interchange of portraits of noted thieves would form a most valuable and interesting pertinent of the police establishment of a great city."

The Right Hon. Sir John Jervis, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, has appointed Edward Brown Fiske, of Beccles, Suffolk, Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Commissioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, in and for the county of Suffolk.

To Correspondents.

WE have received several letters from esteemed correspondents upon the subject of the alterations which we have adopted with regard to the form of THE JURIST. While in the main approving of them, they advise us "stare super antiquas vias" with reference to the Table of Cases at the commencement of each number. We should be happy to comply with this suggestion, but the space required for advertisements precludes the possibility of our doing so; we have, however, made the Index, as will be seen, more distinctive than in our last number.

In future the outer pages, containing the advertisements, will not be paged, and the number of Tir JURIST will be placed at the foot of the first page of the Reports.

We are much obliged to those gentlemen who have favoured us with their suggestions, which we shall at all times be happy to receive.

his maintenance.

II.

stating such their opinion, and the grounds thereof, to the board of visitors.

IV. That the board of visitors shall proceed to consider such report of the medical visitors at their next meeting, and shall, if they think fit, refer the same to the Masters in Lunacy, or take such other steps thereon as may appear to them to be expedient.

V. That the Masters in Lunacy shall, on any such report as aforesaid being referred to them by the board of visitors, proceed to investigate the matters thereby reported upon, and may, if they deem it expedient, summon the committee of the person or estate to attend before them to give explanations thereon; and the said Masters shall then make such report, if any, on the said matters to the Lord Chancellor, as the said Masters may deem proper.
