ship, acting under a deed of settlement, and possess ing all the attributes of a complete legal company, except the possession of the legal rights conferred by charter or by act of Parliament. And can it be said to be clear, that an association of individuals never incorporated by act of Parliament or by charter, not even, perhaps, bound by any deed of settlement, but bound only by those implied ties of partnership which depend on their having acted together and incurred liabilities which, as to third persons, are not merely joint, and are only impliedly joint as between themselves? can it be said that such shapeless, semi-organised associations are "joint-stock companies," in the sense in which the term is used in the 7 & 8 Vict. cc. 110, 111, or in any legal sense? We apprehend, not; and, therefore, we conclude, that it is, at least, so doubtful whether the stat. 7 & 8 Vict. c. 111, s. 22, is intended to apply to an association other than completely formed jointstock companies, that the validity of any general orders purporting to be made in pursuance of that section might be contested, if an attempt was made to apply them to the semi-organised associations composed merely of provisional committee-men and allottees of, or contractors for, shares, whose members are at present occupying so large a share of public attention.

If we are right in this construction of the 22nd section of the 7 & 8 Vict. c. 111, it is unnecessary to consider whether that section is so far connected with the general object of the act, as to be inapplicable except in the case of bankruptcy of a company.

It is quite clear, however, that the mischief attending the state of these half-formed companies is of the very gravest character; and that, if the Court of Chancery has no power of meeting the mischief under the 7 & 8 Vict. c. 111, or otherwise, the interference of the Legislature is imperatively called for; and the next question that we shall here venture to consider, is, what are the principles on which a legislative remedy should be founded? Now, the great difficulty of proceeding, at present, in equity, to obtain contribution against persons co-liable with the plaintiff, depends upon the necessity of making all the persons liable parties, whence result all the inconveniences of a suit practically unmanageable, not only on account of the extraordinary expense and delay, but on account of the great chance of continually occurring abatement. This difficulty is severely felt even when there are comparatively few parties, but when the parties are some tens, or, perhaps, some hundreds, a suit becomes utterly unmanageable. Now, the expense and delay seems principally to result from the form of the ordinary proceeding by bill and answer, and the impracticability of bringing a contribution suit to a successful hearing when there are many parties, from the doctrine of abatement. The remedy, therefore, seems to be of a twofold character, and to consist in the substitution of some more brief and summary mode of presenting the case to the court than by bill and answer; and in the abolition, for this class of cases, of the doctrine, that the proceeding dies because an individual party to it has thought fit to die. What we should suggest, as the outline of a remedial measure, were it cast upon us to do so, would be this:

case, and setting forth, in a schedule, a list of the persons alleged to be liable to contribution. That thereupon the court shall refer it to the Master to inquire into the matters alleged by the petition. That the Master shall have power, and be bound, to issue a peremptory order, on the application of the petitioner, to be personally served upon each of the persons named in the schedule to the petition, returnable within some given (and not very long) time after service, requiring such person to appear and shew cause before the Master, why he should not be compelled to contribute his proportionate part of the demand made, or threatened to be made, on the petitioner. That persons appearing on the order shall be heard by themselves, or their agents or counsel, as they may think fit, upon evidence by affidavit, or vivâ voce, as the Master shall direct; the costs of the appearance of each party to be in the discretion of the Master, subject, of course, to the revision of the court. This would be quite necessary, to prevent the vexatious summoning of persons as parties, without sufficient ground for making against them even a primâ facie case of liability.

That any person neglecting to appear and shew cause within the given time (and not shewing good reason for enlarging the time for his being permitted to be heard) shall be held to admit his liability to contribute in the proportion found by the Master. That the Master shall make his report, subject to exceptions, like any other report, and that, the report being confirmed, the court shall thereupon have power to make a peremptory order, having the force of a judgment at law, on which execution as upon a judgment may be had against the persons directed by the order to contribute, in cases where judgment has been recovered and execution had against the petitioner. But, if the petition is presented in consequence only of the threat of an action, then, upon the report being confirmed, instead of an order on the contributaries to pay, an order as of course should be obtainable by the petitioner, directing each person found liable to pay the sum that he is so found liable to contribute, into the Accountant-General's, to the credit of the matter of the petition; and then, upon an action being brought against the original petitioner, or any other of the persons found liable, the court should have power, upon motion by the defendant at law, (on notice), to stay the action, and require the plaintiff at law to make out his claim before the Master; and, upon his substantiating his claim, to order him payment and costs primarily out of the fund in court, and if that proved to be insufficient, then payment of the remainder by the defendant at law.

In case it should happen (and, probably, if such a course of proceeding were established, it most frequently would happen) that the creditor, knowing a fund to be in court, should prefer applying for payment directly to the Court of Chancery, he should have power so to do, by petition, to be served on any such person as he might have a right to select as defendant at law; and thereupon the court might decide at once, if the nature of the proof permitted it, or might refer it to the Master; and the creditor, having proved, should be paid his debt and costs out of the fund.

companies, against the disposition of their partners to evade contribution, and, at the same time, not interfere with the rights of the creditor to recover his debt.

That, in any case of an association, either being a Such appears to us the rough outline of a mode of complete partnership, or a preliminary association form- proceeding which might practically work, so as to proed and acting in contemplation of a complete partner-tect the members of either complete or incomplete ship, any member thereof against whom proceedings at law shall have been taken or threatened, to recover any debts due from the whole association, or from several members of it, shall be at liberty to present a petition, ex parte, to the Court of Chancery, (supported, of course, by primâ facie evidence), stating the

*We speak only of proceedings in equity, taking it to be clear that to recover contribution by actions at law is wholly impracticable.

On introducing a new and greatly improved edition of an old-estalished book, like "Burn's Justice," to the notice of the Members of the Magistracy and the Legal Profession, the Publishers need only point attention to the claims which it has upon two such large and influential bodies, to ensure a success similar to that which has attended all previous editions. Since the year 1837 (the date of the last edition) a considerable number of important Statutes have been passed; by several of those Statutes the executive power of the Magistrate has been somewhat restricted, and by others extended, while the whole duties of the office have undergone too many changes not to render a New Edition (embodying every Act and decision to the present time) a valuable and nerevision; the Forms have been re-modelled, and carefully adapted to the ministration of Justice. The Six Volumes have received a thorough recent changes; several new Titles (created by modern enactments) have been introduced, and great exertions have been made to ensure a correct which occupies the whole of the Fourth Volume, has again been preand full development of the Law as it now stands. The title "Poor," pared by Mr. Commissioner Bere; and his object has been to furnish the cases at full length, being satisfied that no compendious abstract, however carefully made, would supply a satisfactory Manual for those who attend the Quarter Sessions. The Marginal Notes and the Index are, however, abridgments of the Cases, so that the general principles of the Law may be ascertained without reading the fuller statement. The great utility of the Work as an authority, presenting the cases in detail, and superseding the Reports themselves, is thereby preserved, at the same time that the necessity of reading the whole is obviated by the fulness of the Marginal Note.
