The Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay has appointed Charles Wilkin, of 10, Tokenhouse-yard, in the city of London, a Commissioner of that Court for taking affidavits and examining witnesses in the city of London, and elsewhere in England.

Lord Brougham moved a series of resolutions on the JUDICIAL STATISTICS.-On Monday, the 3rd March, subject of judicial statistics. He described the deficiencies of the present returns from the civil and criminal courts, and the want of plan or system in the manner in which they are made, comparing with it the superior practice of the French government in this respect. The Lord Chancellor promised to give the subject his best attention, and said that there would be no difficulty in having the returns from the civil courts made periodically, instead of being called for by motion in the Houses of Parliament.

safely upon a small stock of learning or of judgment; and in our opi nion it has been pursued, not only with safety, but with manifest advan tage to the book; so that the fourth edition of Starkie is to the existing law what the first edition was to the law in 1824. . . . . We wish we had some means of identifying Mr. Malcolm's portions of the work. As it is, being hitherto unknown in authorship, he must be content with the praise of having borne a part where all was good."-Jurist.

"It is also the only work of which a new edition has been brought out at such a time as to render it possible that it should apply to prac tice, with any degree of consideration and accuracy, the modern changes We think the editors will have gone far towards restoring the admirable work of Mr. Starkie to its original character of the best work on the law of evidence which has yet been produced.

THE JURIST.

LONDON, MARCH 15, 1856.

224

In ancient times, as we learn from Sir Matthew Hale*, the judicial proceedings of the House of Lords were for the most part, if not altogether, transacted by the consilium regis ordinarium-the Chancellor, Treasurer, Justices, Barons of the Exchequer, and those whose education and experience rendered them more fit for such employment. Rarely did these matters come into the House of Lords for their decision, unless it were in cases of great moment; and even then the consilium ordinarium had not only a voice of advice, but also of suffrage. After the decay of this council, although the decision was virtually that of the House, it was actually given by a select number of Lords and judges nominated by the King in Parliament. In Hale's time this custom had grown out of use, and the Lords, as a body, gave the judgments themselves +, although they afterwards delegated their power in this respect to the law Lords. The House never had any original jurisdiction in judicial matters, although they at one time claimed to exercise, and in the reign of James I exercised it. The last instance of its exercise, which was warmly opposed by the Commons, was in the case

* Hale's House of Lords, 155-159. See "The Law of Property as administered in the House of Lords," by Sir E. Sugden, 13.

†The corrupt influences exerted over the Lords, and the inconveniences attending this manner of exercising their jurisdiction, were pointed out by Lord Hale, (House of Lords, 155), and by Bishop Burnet, vol. 1, p. 472, ed. 1823. See Sugden, ut supra, 11, 13.

of Skinner v. The East India Company, in the second Parliament of Charles II. The power of the Lords, however, to adjudicate on writs of error from the common-law courts has never been disputed; but this power is derived from the Crown*. Their authority to entertain appeals from courts of equity was originally an usurpation; and after violent opposition on the part of the Commons it was left undisturbed, simply because, if the power were not in the House of Lords, it would be in the Crown, who might delegate the right to hear such appeals to commissioners, and the Commons were on this head more jealous of the authority of the Crown than of the Lords t. Acts of Parliament to reverse decrees in Chancery were not unusual down to and including the fourth Parliament of Charles I, but it was not until the year 1640 that the Lords alone first reversed them. Cromwell, in his ordinance for regulating the Court of Chancery, provided a court of appeal, consisting of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Keeper or Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, and six judges, two out of each court, the Chief Justice of one of the Benches or Chief Baron of the Exchequer being one, and the majority was to decide; but the party, before he was to be allowed to appeal, was to perform the decree, except where it would extinguish his legal right, and was to deposit 50l. to answer all costs; and if the decree was not altered; he was to pay full costs, to be allowed by the chief clerks in Chancery, together with such addition of costs for his causeless vexation as they should think fit. One of the rules was, that every
