"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. . . . . .

"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 before 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.....

*THE granting of an injunction to restrain by the "writ remedial" any illegal or unjust exercise of either an assumed right, or one which, although legal in itself, it was contrary to the principles of equity to pursue at law, was, from the earliest period of our legal history, exercised only by the Courts of equity, and the writ issued in the name of the Lord Chancellor as Keeper of the King's Conscience, and on his Sovereign's behalf, enjoining a subject to abstain from enforcing any inequitable right, or doing any wrongful act.

This writ became in time greatly modified, both in form and substance, and for a very considerable period has practically been granted by the Lord Chancellor and the other judges in equity, not only in those exbut in all cases where, as between subject and subject, treme cases in which alone it was formerly obtained, the right of the party applying for relief in equity was sufficiently clear; and the practice of granting interim injunctions until the final decision of the cause thence arose-a practice of great advantage to the suitors, as it often enabled parties to discuss the real merits of a cause on an interlocutory application for an injunction, without incurring the great expense which the bringing of a cause to a hearing might entail. In practice, in equity, injunction causes rarely proceeded beyond this interlocutory stage, each party acquiescing in the judgment of the Court, and all further litigation was avoided. The fusion of law and equity, which seems, with reason, to have lately become a favourite theory both of legislators and of the Profession, has led, in all the recent acts of Parliament for the amendment of the

law, to the introduction of various provisions to promote this end. By the Common-law Procedure Act, 1854, sect. 79 et seq., power is given to the superior Courts of common law to grant a writ of injunction at any stage of a cause, in the mode prescribed by the act; and the 82nd section enacts, that "it shall be lawful for the plaintiff at any time after the commencement of the action, and whether before or after judgment, to apply ex parte to the court or a judge for a writ of injunction to restrain the defendant in such action from the repetition or continuance of the wrongful act or breach of contract complained of, or the committal of any breach of contract, or injury of a like kind arising out of the same contract, or relating to the same property or right; and such writ may be granted or denied by the court or judge upon such terms, as to the duration of the writ, keeping an account, giving security, or otherwise, as to such court or judge shall seem reasonable and court shall not be sitting, by a judge." just; and in case of disobedience such writ may be enforced by attachment by the court, or, when such

By the 83rd section a defendant may plead, "for an equitable defence," such facts as would constitute a ground for relief in equity against a judgment at law.

These sections, if enforced in a liberal and reforming spirit by the Courts of common law, promise real benefit to litigants; but for this purpose equitable defences should be allowed, and the writ of injunction ought to be at least as freely granted by the Courts of law as by the equity judges, otherwise they will soon come to be a dead letter; and as the act in no way restricts or abridges the present jurisdiction of the Courts of equity to grant injunctions, application will always be made to those Courts for them. An impression seems to prevail among the judges, that to enable the common-law Courts to allow an equitable defence or to grant an injunction under these sections, a case should be made out by the applicant sufficient to enable
