in inhabitant, not as a landholder, as where he is harged for church ornaments, there he will only be able as an inhabitant in the parish in which he peronally resides. (2 Roll. 270.) So where he is ought to be made a constable. (4 B. & Cr. 779.) And the case in 1 Salk. 164, where it was held that a an was liable to contribute, as an inhabitant, to the shurch bells of a parish where he had lands but did Mot reside, is not contrary to this doctrine, because it was held that church bells were not mere ornaments, ut a part of the fabric of the church, for which the ands of the parish were chargeable. And the meanng of the word inhabitant, therefore, is not now such s was given to it under the statute of Bridges, but s descriptive of one resident within the parish. (Per Bayley, C. J. 4 B. & Cr. 959.) And per Le Blanc, . (ibid.) "I take it that the word "resides," where here is nothing to shew that it is used in a more exensive sense, denotes the place where an individual ats, drinks, and sleeps, or where his family or his servants eat, drink, and sleep." This definition of residing, however, as will presently appear, is too arrow, the habitually sleeping alone being the great sest of residence. So the Court held, in 12 East, 342, that under the word inhabitant, as used in the stat. 43 Eliz. c. 2, was meant only persons residing therein.

residing in the houses or chambers, provided they had the intention of returning thereto; which last qualification is essential. (1 Hale, 522 & 556.) Many of the jurisdictions of the ancient borough courts, and those of the modern courts of request, are created to take effect on persons, as persons working, or seeking a livelihood, trading, keeping a stall, &c. And wherever a party claims to sue or be sued, as being within such jurisdiction, he must strictly be within the words of the Act or patent. Thus keeping a country house is not within the meaning of the term keeping a house. (5 D. & R. 628.) Nor is keeping a counting-house in the city for receiving orders, sufficient to bring a party within the words" seeking a livelihood," if, in reality, his substantial place of business is in another place. (Ibid.) So where the Act says that all persons trading, or seeking a livelihood, or keeping a stand within certain jurisdictions, shall be entitled to its privileges and duties, in order to entitle them thereto they must be substantially, steadily, and in the usual way, seeking such livelihood, or keeping such stand. And in order to do this they must have fixed places of trading and hours of business, &c. And where an attorney or defendant sought to enter a suggestion under a court of conscience Act, to deprive plaintiff of costs, the debt being under five pounds, on the grounds that he According to the usual acceptation of the term, the sought a livelihood in London as an attorney, but did word inhabiting is synonymous with that of residing not say where his office was, it was held he was not (per Curiam, 4 B. & C. 959.-12 East, 342), and sufficiently entitled, for, per Lord Ellenborough, the both probably with that of dwelling; and since the persons to whom that clause may be supposed to latter word has been explained in a variety of differ-apply, must seek a livelihood in an open way, as per ent points of view in the criminal law, in order to as- Le Blanc, J. the persons who fall within this description, must be in the way of doing it substantially. (1 Smith Rep. 334.) So where a porter to an auctioneer, who did not reside within the jurisdiction, but frequently plied for business at two public-houses in the city, where he was always to be found, and to which he had his letters addressed, sought to bring himself within the London Courts of Conscience Act, as one seeking a livelihood within the liberties of the city, it was held he was not entitled to do so; for the Court said, that though the words seeking a livelihood were certainly of a very general import, yet they must be restrained to the seeking it by some means which were local, and which shewed where the defendant could be found, so that he might be served with the summons. (Skinner v. Davis, 2 Taunt. 196.)

So no person will be within the meaning of these acts when sued as administrator or executor, or as heir, unless there be express provisions therein to that effect. (Ailway v. Burrowes, Dougl. 264.) But when a party sues as executor, administrator, or heir, it would seem that he is. (Ware v. Wyborn, Dougl. 246.) And where several partners hold a house within the jurisdiction of a court of requests, it is an occupancy by all. (Axon v. Dallimore, 3 D. & R. 51.)

An Analytical Digest of the Statutes and Cases
relating to the Practice of Appeals against
Orders of Removal. Arranged on the principle
of Comyn's Digest." By HENRY JOHN
HODGSON, Esq. of Lincoln's-inn, Barrister-at-
Law. London, 1845. Stevens and Norton.
WE have not seen so useful a little pocket-book
for Quarter Sessions as this. It is, in fact, a sort
of index to the practice as settled by all the recent
cases relating to orders of removal. It is not, in-
deed, a substitute for any of the more elaborate
treatises, but it is a valuable addition to them-a
sort of note-book, bringing down all the decisions
to the present time, and arranging them under
obvious headings, so that at a glance the reader
finds whatever has been decided relative to the par-
ticular branch of the subject upon which he is en-
gaged. The divisions adopted are-the order of re-
moval; the examination; the service of the order;
examination and notice of chargeability; the re-
moval of the pauper; the suspension of the order;
its abandonment and supersedeas; the appeal;
notice of appeal; grounds of appeal; trial; evi-
dence; judgment; costs; mandamus; certiorari;

And, first of all, as to the place in which a dwelling or inhabiting is supposed to take place; it must be a permanent building. And therefore no dwelling or inhabitancy could be acquired by living in a booth or tent at a fair, or otherwise, even though the owner sleeps at night in it. (1 Hawk. c. 38, s. 35.-1 Hale, 557.) For though the the authorities go rather to show that such is not a dwelling-house, from its insubstantiability, yet since there must be an intention of remaining to constitute a dwelling or inhabitancy, this the nature of such a dwelling would rebut, or any how be strong evi- So where an Act gives jurisdiction over persons dence against it.

Thus where an Act was extended to all America has lost one of her greatest men, in the intention of permanently resting there for a time, it persons keeping a stall within the jurisdiction of person of the celebrated jurist, Judge Story, who died matters not perhaps what sort of place it is.

(16 East, 147, Stephens So there must be an actual sleeping, and therefore v. Derry.) So where a party did not reside within where one had only sent his goods into a house, and the city of London, but was a member of Lloyd's had put a person in to sleep there for their protection, Coffee-house, and had a seat there, and occasionally but neither he nor his family had slept there, he was underwrote a policy, there Lord Ellenborough held, that held not yet to have inhabited or dwelt there, so as to though it might happen that under such circumstances have made it his dwelling-house.

But it is not necessary that a party should always be actually living in a house to constitute a residence therein. As if a man have a country and a town house in which he resides alternately, though he and his family are residing in the country house at any given time, he will still be a dweller in the town house. (1 Hale, 556.) Or if a man lock up his house and go a journey, and during his absence it is broken and entered. (Rex v. Murray, 2 East, P. C. 496; Fost. 77.) Or if a barrister have a set of chambers, in which he resides during the term only, and during the vacation they be broken and entered. (1 Hale, 556.) In all these cases the owners would be considered as inhabiting the dwelling, and perhaps

Whether a clerk to an attorney, or banker, or in a merchant's counting-house in the city, is a person seeking his livelihood therein, seems doubtful, see per Le Blanc, J. in Holden v. Newman (13 East, 164), and Stephens v. Derry (16 East, 147), in which latter case Lord Ellenborough seems to have thought that his seeking his livelihood there was of too uncertain a nature as to its locality, to give him the privileges of the Act. But if this be the case, all the acts would be a perfect nullity to the greater part of the poorer classes, for whose benefit they were more particularly enacted, since their occupations are generally of rather an uncertain nature as to locality.

high judicial functions he discharged the duties of a professor of law in Harvard University in the state of Massachusets. In every department he was beloved and honoured by his countrymen to a degree which goes far to disprove the impression that American democracy is averse to personal superiorities, and unfriendly to the development of great talents in the public service. The information respecting the particulars of Judge Story's life which can be collected from the American journals is scanty and unsatisfactory.

According to the statements of those journals, Judge Story was born in 1779, towards the close of the Revolutionary War, and some years before the establishment of that constitution of which he has left us so masterly an exposition. He graduated at Harvard University in 1798, and entered early into the practice of the law in the state of Massachusets, of the legislature of which he was for a short period a member. He was appointed in 1811, by President Madison, one of the justices of the Supreme Judicial Court of the United States, and occupied that high position up to the time of his death. He rendered important assistance to the state of Massachusets in 1820, as a member of the convention by which its constitution was revised, and he afforded to the same state the inestimable advantages of his service as a professor of law in its chief university. He was the intimate friend, and in early life a fellow-student, of Dr. Channing, in whose death, as in that of Judge Story himself, America has sustained an irreparable loss. The following eloquent notice of the character of Judge Story, which appears with the signature "C. S." (Charles Sumner) in the Boston Daily Advertiser, cannot fail to be read with interest.

His death makes a chasm which I shrink from contemplating. He was the senior judge of the highest court of the country, an active professor of law, and

a fellow in the corporation of Harvard University. He was in himself a whole triumvirate; and these three distinguished posts, now vacant, will be filled, in all probability, each by a distinct successor. It is, however, as the exalted jurist that he is to take his place in the history of the world, high in the same firmament whence beam the mild glories of Tribonian, of Cujacius, of Hale, and of Mansfield. It was his fortune, unlike many of those who have cultivated the law with signal success on the European continent, to be called upon as a judge practically to administer and apply it in the actual business of life. It thus became to him not merely a science, whose depths and intricacies he explored in his closet, but a great and godlike instrument, to be employed in that highest of earthly functions, the determination of justice among men. While the duties of the magistrate were thus illumined by the studies of the jurist,

the latter were tempered to a finer edge by the expe

rience of the bench.

In attempting any fitting estimate of his character as a jurist, he should be regarded in three different aspects, as a judge, an author, and a teacher of jurisprudence, exercising in each of these characters a peculiar influence. His lot is rare who achieves fame in a single department of human action; rarer still is his who becomes foremost in many. The first impression is one of astonishment that a single mind, in a single life, should be able to accomplish so much. Independent of the incalculable labours, of which there is no trace except in the knowledge, happiness, and justice which they helped to secure, the bare amount of his written and printed labours is enormous beyond all precedent in the annals of the common law. His written judgments on his own circuit, and his various commentaries, occupy twentyseven volumes; while his judgments in the Supreme Court of the United States form an important portion of no less than thirty-four volumes more. The vast juridical labours of Coke and of Eldon, which seem to clothe the walls of our libraries, must yield in extent to his. He is the Lope de Vega or the Walter Scott of the common law.

We are struck next by the universality of his juridical attainments. It was said by Dryden of one of the greatest lawyers in English history, Heneage Finch,

Our laws that did a boundless ocean seem
Were coasted all, and fathomed all by him.

his judicial presence. I refer particularly to his mode
of conducting business. Even the passing stranger
bears witness to his suavity of manner on the bench,
while all the practitioners in the courts over which he
presided so long attest the marvellous quickness with
which he habitually seized the points of a case, often
anticipating the slower movements of the counsel,
and leaping, or I might almost say flying, to the con-
clusions sought to be established. Napoleon's per-
ception in military tactics was not more rapid. All
will attest the scrupulous care with which he assigned
reasons for every portion of his opinions, showing
that it was not he who spoke with the voice of autho-
rity, but the law, whose organ he was. And all will
reverence the conscientious devotion and self-sacrifice
which he brought to the performance of his responsi-

ble duties.

In the history of the English Bench there are but two names with combined eminence as a judge and as an author-Coke and Hale; unless, indeed, the orders in Chancery from the Verulamian pen should entitle Lord Bacon to this distinction, and the judgments of Lord Brougham should vindicate the same for him. Blackstone's character as a judge is lost in the fame of the Commentaries. To Mr. Justice Story belongs this double glory. Early in life he compiled an important professional work; but it was only at a comparatively recent period, after his mind had been disciplined by the labours of the Bench, that he prepared those elaborate commentaries which have made his name a familiar word in foreign countries. Those who knew him best observed the lively interest which he took in this extension of his wellearned renown, and well he might; for the voice of distant foreign nations seems to come as from a living posterity. His works have been reviewed with praise in the journals of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Germany. They have been cited as authorities in all the courts of Westminster-hall; and one of the ablest and most learned lawyers of the age, whose honourable career at the Bar has conducted him to the peerage-Lord Campbell-in the course of a debate in the House of Lords, characterized their author as "the first of living writers

on the law."

To complete this hasty survey of his character as a jurist, I should allude to his excellences as a teacher of law, that other relation which he sustained to jurisprudence. The numerous pupils reared at his But the boundless ocean of that age was a mare feet, and now scattered throughout the whole coun clausum compared with that on which the adventurer try, diffusing each in his circle the light which he embarks in our day.

There are many who regard the judicia character of the late Chief Justice Marshail as at an unapproachable height. I revere his name, and bare ever read his judgments, which seem like " son," with admiration and gratitude; but I cannot disguise that even these noble memorials must yield in high juridical character, in learning, in acuteness, i in the variety of topics which they concern, in fervour, as they are far inferior in amount, to those of our friend. There is still spared to us a renowned judge, at this moment the unquestioned living head of Antrican jurisprudence, with no rival near the throm whose character is pure as his fame is exalted,-Mr. Chancellor Kent, whose judgments and whose works? always inspired the warmest eulogies of the departed, and whose fame as a jurist furnishes the fittest pa rallel to his own in the annals of our law..

His judgments are remarkable for their exhaustive treatment of the subjects to which they relate. The common law, as is known to his cost by every student, is to be found only in innumerable sandgrains" of authorities. Not one of these is overlooked in these learned judgments, while all are combined with care, and the golden cord of reason is woven across the ample tissue. Besides, there is in them a clearness which flings over the subject a perfect day, a severe logic, which, by its closeness and precision, makes us feel the truth of the saying of Leibnitz, that nothing approached so near the certainty of geometry as the reasoning of the law; a careful attention to the discussions at the bar, that the Court may not appear to neglect any of the considerations urged; and a copious and persuasive eloquence which gilds the whole. Many of his judgments will be landmarks in the law; they will be columns, like those of Hercules, which shall mark the progress in knowledge of our age. single judge who has established so many. I think it may be said, without fear of question, that the reports show a larger number of judicial opinions from Mr. Justice Story, which posterity will not willingly let die, than from any other judge in the history of

English and American law.

The deceased was proud of his character as a pro-
fessor. In his earlier works he is called on the title-
page, "Dane Professor of Law." It was only on
the suggestion of the English publisher, that he was
prevailed upon to append the other title, "Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States." He looked
forward with peculiar delight to the time, which
seemed at hand, when he should lay down the honours
and cares of the bench, and devote himself singly to
the duties of his chair.

I know of no I have merely glanced at his character in his three
different relations to jurisprudence. Great in each of
these, it is on this unprecedented combination that
his peculiar fame will be reared, as upon an immortal
tripod. In what I have written, I do not think that
I am biassed by the partialities of private friendship.

It has been my fortune to see or know the chie jurists of our times in the classical countries of juris prudence, France and Germany.

It is to the energetic efforts of the Times to expose the folly of the railway mania that the country is mainly indebted for the check which it has received, and which, though attended with present inconveniences, will prevent more extended mischief. The misery already occasioned is sufficiently great; ruin is staring hundreds in the face who but a week since deemed themselves rich. Hundreds of thou

When an individual has obtained an allotment of shares, on paying his deposit and receiving the scrip, he signs two deeds, one for the purpose of enabling the directors to apply to Parliament for an Act to construct the railway in question, and the other for the purpose of binding the subscribers individually to the company to carry the same into effect when the Act is obtained: the latter liability is, however, in most cases confined to the amount of the shares held ment require that the "parliamentary deed" shall be subscribed for two-thirds of the whole amount of the capital required for the undertaking, and that 10 per cent. of the capital thus subscribed shall be deposited with the Accountant-General while the Bill is before Parliament.

If an Act of Parliament be obtained, it then becomes incumbent upon the directors, within two months, to register their shareholders, and to exchange the shares of the company for the scrip. Strictly speaking, it is understood that those who were parties to the parliamentary deed (the original scrip holders) are the parties who are to be registered as shareholders. But in practice it is the holders of scrip at the time who are accepted by the directors, and registered as the future shareholders of the company. From this time all future liability is confined to the registered shareholders, and the o iginal subscriber, in whose name the scrip was issued when his assignee to whom he has sold it is registered as a onerated.
