YOUNG Croker, a mere boy of twenty-one, fresh from college, rather staggered the legis; lative investigating committee in New York recently by his sang froid on the stand. "Now you know all about that transaction," said Mr. Moss, after detailing something about alleged

contracts in whic young Croker's firm was Sud to have becil "cadorned; "do you not?" "Yes, sir." "When did you first hear of it?" demanded Moss, sharply, "Just now, when you told me," was young Croker's rather crush ing reply.

A LITTLE knowlodge is a dangerous thing and it is not advisable to try experiments, with great forces without due precaution." An ele Buildings thouht he had quite mastered the vator man (Chinese) employed at Queen's intricacies of the electric lift and was in a position to try and perform some agile tricks, in the shape of starting the lift and springing in while it was in motion. Unfortunately for him he was not quick enough and the cage caught him between the top of the door and the deer, causing instant death.

FRESH discoveries of the greatest importance have been made in the Roman Forein, showing beyond a doubt that the "lapis niger," or "black stone," found there some months ago, is the tomb of Romulus, By the side of the lapis niger" several objects of antiquity have been found, including a block of tufa (volcanic A.

Murder is unlawful homicide with analite aforethought. If A unlawfully kill B, fatery finally and without legal justification, the malice is presumed. Malice, says Baylo , in delivering the judgment of the Court i pp. 247-255 in cominon acceplation means iki will against a person, but in its legal sense, it cans a wrongful act done intemionally, within just cause orexcuse. If I give a perfect stranger a blow likely to produce death, ide it of milice because I do it without just cause, or excuse. Now those who killed Chan Kwai Shu Tani on the night of 17th April, or as the evidence tends the 18th April (the date. inmaterial) were to show soon after midnight, and therefore on undoubtedly guilty of murder. No lawful. justification for the act, no lawful excuse is: But, in this case, it is. even suggested. necessary to define the legal responsibility of those who were present on the occasion of his murder. The popular idea of a 'murderer' is the man who actually killed the victim. The legal definition of murderer goes far beyond that. In Sir James, Fitzjames Stephen's words thereof is used as a jodging house for prostitutes gazo had been offered by the Chinese Adiniral, i "When several persons take part in the execu tion of a common criminal purose, cach is a principal in the second degree in respect of every crime committed by any one of them in the execution of that purpose. The first instance he gives is a well-known case reparted in Hales Pleas of the Crown and known as the Sissing hurst House Case, a case which occurred mord than two centuries ago but is still quoted in the most modern books as good law at the present will read you the case but I will first give you Sir James Stephens sim wary of it. He puts it thus: A constable and his assistants go to arrest A at a house in which are many persons. B, C, D, and others come from the house, drive the constable and his assistants off and one of the assistants is killed, either, by 11, C, D or one of their party. Each of the party is equally responsible for thic blow whether he actually struck it or not." It appears that A, B, C, D, E, F, and others were indicted for murder and tried ut, the King's Bench bar, Among the points unanimously agreed upon was this: That although the indictment were that B gave the stroke and though in truth C gare the stroke, or that it the rest were present, aiding and assisting, did not appear on the evidence which of them gave the stroke, but only that it was given by one of the rioters, yet that evidence was sufficient to maintain the indictment for in law it was the stroke of all that busty Cokes. Repons, 67.5, But, shhough all whig according to the resolution in Mackally's case, aided and abetted in the killing of Chan Kwai Shu Tsai, and all who directly or indirectly counselled, procured, or commanded his death are in my opinion guilty of murder, I do not lay it down to you that mere presence at his death is sufficient, standing alone, to take everyone present a murderer. On the contrary Sir James Stephens, summing up the effect of thus Mere presence on the occasion when a the case of Regina v. Coney and others, puts it crime is committed does not make a person a principal in the second degree even if he'neither nakes any effort to prevent the offence or to cause the offender to be apprehended, but such presence may be evidence for the consider. ation of the jury of an active participation, in the offence. Clearly the circumstances must be considered, and I think the matter is well summed up by Mr. Justice Hawkins in the case I have cited, R., Coney, $Queen's Bench, Law Reports, al pages 557 and 558. He says in giving judgment-It is no criminal offence to stand by a mere passive spectator of a crime, even ofa Murder, Now interference to preventa crime is not itself a crime. Bat the fact that person was voluntarily and purposely present witnessing the commission of a came and offered no opposition to it, though he might reasonably be expected to prevent and had the power so to do, or at least to express his dissent, might, under some circumstances, afford cogent evid cnce upon which a jury, would be justified in finding that he wilfully encouraged and so But it would be aided" and abetted.
