Now, according to the present Feb. 9). practice of Courts of equity, no interlocutory injunction is granted except upon terms-the terms usually being, that the party obtaining the injunction undertakes to abide by any assessment of damages the Court may think fit to award his opponent in the event of the injunction being finally dissolved. The Courts of law do not seem hitherto to have adopted or appreciated the value of such a rule, and the result sometimes is, that a party applying to a Court of law, without success, for an injunction, which upon the same grounds which he lays before the Court of law he would obtain in a court of equity, may be met afterwards in equity by the grave objection which is best stated in the language of the Bench in the case of Megoe v. Megoe, (2 Coop. t. Cottenham, 213). Sir J. Leach there says " Of late years the Courts of common law have entertained applications upon principles the operation of which was formerly supposed to be confined to Courts of equity. It is true that this enlargement of the jurisdiction of the other Courts of Westminster Hall does not prevent this Court from exercising that jurisdiction which it has always possessed. But when a party, not thinking fit to come here in the first instance, goes into a court of common law, relying upon the equitable principles recently introduced there, and having failed, at last tries the experiment of a bill in Chancery, I am of opinion that I ought not to inter fere. I make no doubt that a similar course would be adopted in a court of common law. I make no doubt that an application to its equitable jurisdiction would meet with little encouragement if it were known that this Court had not regarded the party as entitled to relief." If this principle, which has been generally acknowledged and followed in recent cases, be still enforced, it is of the highest importance that suitors should not be driven from one court to another for relief, on the ground that it may be more easily obtained in equity than at law. The equitable title to an injunction should be the same on each side of Westminster Hall; and we may refer to an able little treatise on equitable defences by Mr. J. D. Mayne, as containing the material points on which the principles of equity are now applicable to actions at common law. To fully carry out the beneficial sections of this statute, it is essential that Courts of law should follow the present practice of the Courts of equity on interlocutory applications for injunctions, and grant at least interim injunctions during the progress of a cause, upon the terms usually imposed, and thus obviate the necessity of a still continued severance of jurisdiction, and a resort to the Court of Chancery for a relief which it was intended should be obtained in a far simpler and cheaper mode at law.

We have since that time met with a speech vent Court, although the having been taken in execution on such judgment led him to petition the Insolvent Court. The presentation of the petition may be treated as the act of bankruptcy. The Court referred to the judgment of Holroyd, J., in Jellis v. Mountford, (4 B. & Al. 264), and said that the stat. 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, by one section, put an end to the right of creditors to sue, but it also provided that the insolvent might be made bankrupt on the petition of such creditors as ap "We have it from the highest authority," said his * 16 Jur., part 2, p. 2.

Lordship, "that in the multitude of counsellors there 'is safety; but we in this nation may from experience "say, that in the multitude of legislators there is con'fusion; for our statute-books are increased to such an 'enormous size that they confound every man who is 'obliged to look into them; and this is plainly owing 'to a great change which has by degrees crept into our 'constitution. In old times almost all the laws which 'were designed to be public acts, and to continue as 'the standing laws of this kingdom, were first moved 'for, drawn up, and passed in this House, where we have the learned judges always attending, and ready 'to give us their advice and assistance. From their 'knowledge and experience, they must be allowed to 'be best able to tell whether any grievance complained of proceeds from a non-execution of the laws in being, ' and whether it be of such a nature as may be redressed 'by a new law. In the former case a new law must 'be always unnecessary, and in the latter it must be 'ridiculous; and when by the opinion and advice of the 'judges we find that neither of these is the case, we 'have their assistance, whereby we are enabled to draw up a new law in such a manner as to render it effectual and easy to be understood. This is the true reason why in former times we had but very few laws passed ' in Parliament, and very seldom, if ever, a posterior law 'for explaining and amending a former. "By this new method of law-making," continued his Lordship, "the business of the two Houses seems to be so much altered, that I really think the writs of summons ought to be altered; those for the other 'House ought now to be ad consulendum,' and those 'to the members of this 'ad consentiendum.' But this 'is far from being the only inconvenience: the other House, by their being so numerous, and by their being 'destitute of the advice and assistance of the judges, are too apt to pass laws which are either unnecessary or ridiculous, and almost every law they pass stands ' in need of some new law for explaining and amending 'it; and we in this House, either through complaisance 'or through want of time, are but too apt to give our consent, often without any amendment. By this 'means it is that our statute-books have of late years 'increased to such an enormous size, that no lawyer, 'not even one of the longest and most extensive practice, can pretend to be master of all the statutes that relate to any one case that comes before him; and this evil goes on increasing so much every year, that it is 'high time for this House to begin to put a stop to it, by resolving not to pass any bill for introducing a new ' and standing law that comes from the other House, unless it comes up so early in the session as to leave 'us sufficient time to take the advice and assistance of 'the judges upon it, and to consider every clause of it 'maturely; and in every such case we ought to con'sider whether a new law be necessary for the purpose 'intended; for no new law ought ever to be made un'less it appears to be absolutely necessary, as a multi'tude of useless laws is one of the greatest plagues a 'people can be exposed to. In the next place, we ought 'to consider whether the inconvenience or grievance 'intended to be removed be of such a nature as to ad'mit of being cured by any human law; for if it be 'not, we render ourselves ridiculous by the attempt. In the third place, we ought to consider whether, by 'endeavouring to remove the grievance or misfortune 'complained of, we may probably introduce a much 'greater; and in the fourth place, we ought to examine very strictly whether the law be conceived in such 'terms as may be effectual for the end intended, and 'the several clauses so clearly expressed as can admit ' of no doubt." "The object of the present paper is to point out the great change that has taken place in an important principle of our declared international law, as manifested by the recent Orders of her Majesty in Council, and to shew, that, notwithstanding their important advance towards amelioration, they still justify a course of action which, causing serious inconvenience to the passive and inoffensive neutral, is productive of but doubtful injury to our enemy, while it inflicts certain loss on ourselves, and hence to deduce a hope that the same spirit which has so manifestly characterised the conduct of Great Britain will still further develope itself, and that this country will eventually, in conjunction with the United States of America and the several powers of Europe, unanimously and unequivocally declare that the property of private individuals is as sacred on the ocean as it is on land. "In tracing the history of this subject, I have been led to select the treaty of Utrecht as my first landmark; because by the terms of that treaty were first distinctly laid down, acknowledged, and promulgated the rights of maritime neutral nations, and because on the terms of that treaty were based the several subsequent commercial relations established between the chief maritime nations of Europe, and which remained uncontroverted until the wars of the French revolution. "The words in point of that treaty are, (Art. 17)— And it is now stipulated concerning ships and goods, that free ships shall also give a freedom to goods, and that everything shall be deemed to be free and exempt which shall be found on board belonging to the subjects of either of the confederates, although the whole lading, or any part thereof, should appertain to the enemies of either of their Majesties, contraband of war being always excepted.' "Here we have the principle, that free ships make free goods, distinctly enunciated. It must, however, be borne in mind, that this was but the stipulation of a treaty-a sort of special compact to exempt the parties to it from the application of the ordinary rule of international law, viz. that the property of an enemy on board a neutral ship is good and lawful prize'—a maxim adopted by our own legal tribunals, as also by those of the United States of America, notwithstanding that country, from the very dawn of her existence as a nation, adhered to the opposite doctrine in her several commercial treaties. "When this treaty of Utrecht was put an end to by the war of 1756, England abandoned its provisions, and thus fell back upon the rule of general international law, and hesitated not to enforce, in the most energetic and determined manner, her obnoxious belligerent rights; hence resulted the convention formed against her known as the armed neutrality of 1780. Notwithstanding, however, that formidable combination, composed of the United States of America, as well as the maritime powers of Europe, England, trusting to her naval superiority, and conceiving that to permit traffic in her enemy's merchandise would be injurious to her interests, resolved to seize, under the sanction of maritime international law, (as interpreted by her jurists and laid down by her judicial tribunals), the property of her enemy when on the ocean, wherever it could be found, whether in the vessel of friend or foe; and thus single-handed she braved the storm of * Such a resolution was passed in the House of Lords in aggression with which she was assailed.. the session of 1853. 66 The peace of 1783 for a time laid the question at rest, until the war with France, consequent on the French revolution which broke out in 1793, again revived all the hostile feeling between that country and Great Britain. The right of seizing the enemy's property on board neutral vessels was again insisted on, and declared to be in accordance with the soundest principles of international law; and the navy of Great Britain, much increased in number since the last war, aided by numerous privateers, (a kind of legalised pirate, now happily unknown), was actively employed in overhauling neutral vessels for the search of enemy's property. "The northern nations of Europe, with Russia at their head, again combined for the purpose of resisting this inroad on neutral rights in the month of December, 1800. A treaty renewing the confederacy for an armed neutrality was concluded between Russia and Sweden, to which Denmark and Prussia quickly gave their adherence. England, however, undeterred, still repudiated the maxim, 'that free ships make free goods.' "There has always been an endeavour on the part of a country to foster and protect the commerce of its colonies. In her desire to accomplish this, France had, during her wars with England, invited other nations to trade with the French possessions in the West Indies, offering thereby to neutrals a privilege during war from which they were sedulously excluded during peace. The Prize Courts of this country had condemned that practice as far back as the year 1756, by a declaration of the principle, that a neutral has no right to deliver a belligerent from the pressure of his enemies' hostilities by trading with his colonies in time of war in a way that was prohibited in time of peace.' France, however, persisted in her course of action; and in the war of 1793 she again openly invited neutrals to trade with her colonies, although as an integral part of the French territory they were to England hostile ground. England, therefore, immediately issued instructions for the seizure of all vessels bringing goods from or carrying supplies to the colonies of her enemies. (To be continued). London Gazettes.
