decision the other day which will attract much The Supreme Court of California rendered a attention. Seven years ago one Alfred H. Cohen became engaged to a Miss Emma Bray. The existence of the British statute land mile of Sir W. Thomson (Navigation, p. 45) says that: The engaged couple had no meant.. father of the girl gave them a bouse, and the crable moment to the British nation; and that The 1.750 yards, 5.280 feet, is an evil of not inconsid. father of the groom bestowed a sum of $16,005, he never intends to use the unqualified word mile it was supposed at the time that Bray, to mean anything else than the geographical the girl's father, was a man of fortune. Shortly afterward it turned out that he was insolvent, daughter the house; whereupon one of his and had been insolvent at the time he gave his creditors attached the house as property with which he had parted without valuable considera- tion and practically in evasion of his debts. The Superior Court held the gift valid, and the other day the Supreme Court confirmed the decision on the ground that the receiving of a husband for one's daughter was a valid consideration. This seems rather peculiar law,
The object of the law which probiblis assign-
debtor from impairing the security of hla creditor. ments of property by an insolvent when no valuable consideration passes, was to prevent a No one has the right, after incurring a debt, to place out of reach the property which gave him Credit enough to be able to incur the debt. An insolvent may sell his property or exchange it. But he must get something in exchange which will take its place among his angels. From the moment be is insolvent he becomes, as it were, in the eye of the law holder of bis own property in trust for his creditors. That is the principle which governs the laws of all nations in regulat ing transfers of property by insolvents.
As to the word "consideration" there appears to have been some confusion of thought in the minds of the Supreme Court Justices They say in their decision that "marriage is the highest and most valuable of considerations." It may be a consideration to a father to get his daughter married, or the daughter to get a creditor of the father that his debtor has secured husband, but it is no consideration at all to a a son-in-law. The consideration which the law has in view when it permits an insolvent to part with his property for valuable consideration is a consideration which can take the place of the property disposed of, and be subject to seizure and sale under execution to satisfy the debts of the Insolvent. The court can hardly fatend to intimate that the credi or in this case could seize the person of the son-in-law and have him sold by the Sheriff. It is difficult, then, to understand how it can hold that Bray's gift of a honte did not impair the security of his creditor-Call.
KNOTS AND MILES.
The land mille varies in the most extraordinary. England, Scotland, and Irland. We inherit manner for different countries, and even for nur statute mile of 1,760 yards from the Romans it is their military rule, mille passus, a thousand (double) naces, the military pace being 5 feet and a little over, say 5 feet 3 inches; perhaps the foot rate has shrunk a little in the course of ages, due to a continued tendency in commercs (very observable in the so-called pint bottles of
wine or beer.)
It was well known to our early Elizabethan
the degree of 60 nautical miles: but writers on writers on navigation, such as Norwood, Wright, and others, that on to go statute miles went to geography ignored this feet (perhaps from a temptation to make round numbers), and for a long time afterwards taught that 60 land rallos went to the degree.' * * *
To summarize, distance at sea is measured in miles, and speed in knot, and the expressions knots an hour for speed, and kants for distance in miles are nautical, barbarisms.---Nautical

There is, unfortunately, a growing practice of making an improper use of the word knot, not only with landsmen, engineers and shipbuilders but also with sailors, who ought to know better. The prevailing idea at present appears to be that the knot is the samething as the geographical, nautical or tea mile; and the word knot is used to ST. ANDREW'S prevent any possible confusion with the statute land mile.
