about the way in which this decision was given was the vigour with which the Lord Chief Justice assorted the in- herent right of his court to nove with the world, and to differ, if need be, from the reasoning, although they were bound by the decisions, of their predecessors. Such expressions as the following are very nota ble"No man can have a greater respect than I have for any decision of that learned judge (Littledale J.) upon a question of pleading; but I cannot be bound by his ideas of public policy or public interest." "When judges forget noturiona, matters of fact in the reasons they assign for their Judgments they are likely to fall into error," and when pressed to "follow his predeces- Not by their reasons if we think them wrong. We cannot shut our eyes to actual facts and the course of eventss." The Lord Chief Justice has been occasionally cri- ticised for some of his performances, and we donot deny timt he is at times too rhetorical, or flat he gives occasion to men who are bi inferiors in every sense, and in particu- far in industry and technical knowledge, to represent him as a mery advocate, and no lawyer. This we regard as totally untrue; but, all events, he is a man who knows how the world is moving, and who can look at faute, not as a lawyer merely, but na a atateaman, a scholar, and a mish of the world and when these gifts are added in the great industry and knowledge of law which they possionally conceal from tar- raw minds, iltay produce a not result far beyond anything at which the Little delse af our own me the wat, operation

The spectacle of a great future, of a noble destiny proffered by nature, ought to dignify the spirit of a people, and that
