traordinary case is the singular judgment delivered by Mr. Justice Russell. We have had the pleasure of repeatedly bear ing witness to the ability and shrewdness of the Acting Puisne Judge; we have more than once expressed our belief in his legal acumen, and thorough acquaintance with almost every branch of his most difficult profession. Mr. RUSSELL'S large fund of practical common sense more than atones for all other professional shortcomings. We have heard the opinion expressed, and probably with some cause, that he was frequently inclined to be rather obstinate and dogmatic on the bench, but until we read the judgment weare now discussing, we believed that his strong point was consistency. It seems we were greatly
mistaken.
