perty from his neighbour's, the defendant had erected a wall, and put spikes or glass upon it, and the plaintiff had been wounded in attempting to get over, could this action have been maintained? No decision that a trap placed by a man in his own land, and not calculated so as to allure beyond, or even within the circuit of such land, would be a trap unlawfully placed. Gibbs, C. J., observed, "the defendant's act in laying the dog spears was harmless until the plaintiff's dog wrongfully intruded upon him. The hurt which he received is, therefore, to be referred to his own wrongful intrusion, which was the immediate cause of it. If the dog had no right to be there, as he certainly had not, his owner cannot complain that he was injured by the defence set up against all dogs in general. Joudin v. Crump was also an action upon the case. The marginal note in that case states that the defendant wrongfully and unlawfully set and concealed a dog spear, the same being an engine calculated to do grievous bodily harm, as well to the liege subjects of the Queen as to their dogs, happening to run upon the same, among the bushes near a public footway running through a close of the defendant's; by means whereof a dog of the plaintiff with which he was going on foot along the said footway, and which by reason of a rabbit having crossed the footway in his view, had then against the will of the plaintiff began to pursue, and was in pursuit of the said rabbit, ran upon the dog spear and was wounded. Plea, that defendant set and concealed the said engine for the purpose of preserving his game and of disabling and killing dogs that might come upon his close, lest they should pursue and destroy the game: Held, that the plea was a good answer to the action. Alderson, B., in his judgment, observed that the court took the same view of the law on the subject as was taken by Gibbs, C. J., in Deane v. Clayton. From those cases it was argued that if the owner of the land was justified in erecting such engines on it for such a purpose he would have an equal right to shoot a dog in pursuit of his game on his ground. The two cases are, however, widely different. In the one case, as Gibbs, C.J., observes in the same case of Deane v. Clayton, at page 534, "I make an immediate and direct attack on the animals with no object in view but their destruction, which I have no right to effect if they can be removed from my land by less violent means. In the other I merely set up a guard against all wrong doers generally. The primary object of this guard was protection to my property, not mischief to them." The case of Wadhurst v. Daunney. Cro. Jac. 45, was an action of trespass for killing a dog. The defendant pleaded that Sir Francis Willoughby was seised of a free warren of which the defendant was warrener, and that the dog was divers times killing conies there; and that finding him there tempore que, &c., therefore he shot him. The court held the justification good because, it being alleged that the dog used to be there killing conies, it is good cause for the killing him in salvation of his conies, for having used to haunt the warren he cannot otherwise be restrained. Protheroe v. Matthews, was an action of trespass for shooting a dog. The second plea was in substance that Sir C. Morgan was the owner of an ancient park, and that the dog was hunting and chasing divers deer in the park, and that the defendant, as the servant of Sir C. Morgan and by his command, for the preservation of the deer and to prevent the dog from continuing to hunt and chase the same respectively, shot the dog. The fifth plea was to the effect that the dog could not be restrained or hindered from hunting and killing the deer, and would otherwise have killed the In that case Taunton, J. thus laid down the law, "It is not essential that the dog should have been at that very moment engaged in chasing the deer. It is sufficient if the chasing the deer and the killing of the dog were all one and the same. same transaction." And, at the end of his sum ming up, he said to the jury, "If you think that before and at the time of the shooting the dog was chasing the deer, the defendant is entitled to a verdict; but if you think the chasing was at an end, and that the dog would not have recommenced, you ought to find a verdict for the plaintiff;" which the jury did of that case and the preceding one which I have mentioned. It is only necessary for me to observe that Wadhurst v. Dunne was the case of a free warren, and the latter one of an ancient and lawful park. One of the privileges of such places is that the owner or his servant may kill dogs which enter the warren or park and chase the owner's game there. In those cases, as Topham, J. said in Wadhurst v. Dunne, the common usage of England is to kill dogs and cats in warrens as well as any other vermin, which shows that the law hath always been taken to be that they may well kill them. If, then, the element of the warren or park is withdrawn from the case, the destruction of the dog in pursuit of the game becomes unjustifiable, unless the game is in such peril as to induce the unavoidable necessity of killing the dog in order to save it. The cases of Sutton v. Moody, Read v. Edwards, and Blades v. Higgs, merely establish the right of an owner of land to rabbits started on it and killed there. Vere v. Lord Caudor and King was an action for trespass for killing the plaintiff's dog. The general issue was pleaded, and a special plea to the effect that the possession of the locus in quo (which was part of the manor of Kidwelly, of which Lord Caudor was the lord) was in Lord Caudor; that the defendant King was the gamekeeper of the manor; that the plaintiff's dog was in the locus in quo running after, chasing, and hunting down hares there, and that the defefendant, as gamekeeper for the preservation of the hares, shot and killed the dog. Lord Ellenborough, in giving judgment, said: "The question is whether the plaintiff's dog incurred the penalty of death for running after a hare in another's ground and if there be any precedent of that sort, which outrages all reason and sense, it is of no authority to govern other cases-the gamekeeper had no right to kill the plaintiff's dog for following it. The plea does not even state that the hare was put in peril so as to induce any necessity for killing the dog in order to save the hare." I may here remark that the case relied upon in the present one by the counsel on each side. The defendants insisted that, from the latter part of the judgment, it was to be inferred that when the hare is put in peril, so as to induce a necessity for killing the dog in order to save it, the killing of the dog is justifiable. Mr. Cooper, for the plaintiff, relied upon the decision itself. He also contended that none of the other cases referred to on behalf of the defendant, applied to the present one. That the adoption by Gen. Wood of the defendant's act would be no justification for the defendant, inasmuch as Gen. Wood could not have authorised or justified even his gamekeeper in shooting the dog while trespassing, unless such gamekeeper were legally appointed, and the appointment registered in accordance with sect. 16 of the 1 & 2 Will. 4, c. 32. Moreover, that even if he could have justified the shooting of a dog in pursuit of a hare, he could not justify the shooting of a dog in pursuit of a rabbit. Without saying whether those arguments are sound or not, I am of opinion that as the wood in which the dog was shot was not a free warren or a park, all to which plea alone is attached the privilege that the owner or his servants may kill dogs that enter into them and there chase the game, neither General Wood nor the defendant would have been justified in shooting the dog, unless they could have shown it was the only way to save the life of the rabbit. Vere v. Lord Caudor is a direct authority for that, and that such is the law is still more clear from the case of Janson v. Brown, Camp. 41. In that case the action was for shooting a dog. Plea that the dog was worrying and attempting to kill a fowl of the the defendant's, and could not have otherwise be, restrained from so doing; replication, that the defendant did it out of his own wrong without any such cause. It was proved by the defendant that just before the dog was shot, being accustomed to chase the defendant's poultry, he was worrying the fowl in question, and that he had not dropped it from his mouth above an instant when the gun was fired. Lord Ellenborough said that that would not make out the justification to establish which it was necessary that when the dog was shot he was in the very act of killing the fowl, and could not be prevented from effecting his purpose by any other means. Upon these authorities, and having regard to the evidence to which I have already adverted, the relative position of the dog and the rabbit in this case do not show that the destruction of the former was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the latter. Under those circumstances my judgment must be in favour of the plaintiff. As to the amount of damages, I consider 30s. sufficient, and award the same accordingly. With respect to the costs, inasmuch as the plaintiff knew the habits and character of his dog, and did not take any proper steps to prevent its hunting or otherwise trespassing on the grounds of others, as the dog itself had no sort of right to be on the grounds of the defendants, and as the plaintiff did not, before action brought, make any application to the defendant with reference to the case, I consider that the plaintiff is not entitled to any costs of the action, and there will, therefore, be no order as to them. THE NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW. NOTES OF NEW DECISIONS. BANKRUPTCY IN IRELAND CERTIFICATE DETENTION IN COURT OF CERTIFICATE-PROTECTION FROM ARREST IN ENGLAND-COSTS OF ACTION COMMENCED BEFORE BANKRUPTCY IRISH BANKRUPCY ACT (20 & 21 VICT. c. 60).An action on a promissory note was commenced on the 2nd Oct. 1868, against the defendant, who pleaded, but did not appear at the trial on the 10th Dec., when a verdict was obtained by the plaintiff for the amount of his claim, and the costs were taxed on the 8th Jan. 1869. The defendant was adjudicated a bankrupt by the Irish Court of Bankruptcy on the 20th Nov. 1868 (the amount of the promissory note being included in his schedule of debts), and his cer tificate was signed on the 12th Jan. 1869, but was detained in court for a month in order that any creditor might appeal against its being granted. The defendant on the same day obtained an order of protection from arrest, which he produced on his arrest on the 13th Jan. for the amount of the verdict and costs: Held, that the certificate operated from the date of its execution, notwithstanding its detention in court for a month subsequently: Held, also, that the certificate operated as a discharge from arrest from the costs of the action as well as for the amount of the debt.

P. Collier, the Attorney-General, at his rooms in the Court of Common Pleas, Westminster, on the subject of the Bill brought into the House by the hon. and learned gentleman to amend the law of bankruptcy. The deputation comprised Mr. Norwood, M.P., Mr. Morley, M.P., Mr. Whitwell, M.P., Mr. Sampson Lloyd, of Birmingham (chairman of the Associated Chambers); Mr. Hirst, of Leeds; Mr. Wills and Mr. Bruton, of Bristol; Mr. Russell (secretary of the Mercantile Law Amendment Society), Mr Hole, and Mr. Hollins. They submitted a number of amendments which they proposed should be introduced into the Bill, with the view of assimilating the law of England with that of Scotland in the matter of bankruptcy. They pointed out to the honourable and learned gentleman that the effect of sect. 7 of clause 76, which gives the Bankruptcy Court power to annul bankruptcy in all cases where the assets do not reach 501, would be that fraudulent bankrupts would commit all the offences mentioned in the penal clauses in order to reduce the value of their estate to a sum below the amount specified. The Attorney-General was so impressed with the representations made to him on this point that he agreed to strike out the clause. The deputation objected to the abolition of imprisonment for debt, which is one of the propositions of the Bill. The Attorney-General admitted that there was a good deal to be said on both sides of the question, and promised to reconsider the matter generally with regard to the and learned gentleman acknowledged the force of recommendations of the deputation. The hon. the arguments with which they were supported, and said he would carefully consider them before again bringing the Bill under the consideration of the House. The deputation thanked the hon. and learned gentleman and withdrew. THE GOVERNMENT BANKRUPTCY BILL.-A CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PROFESSION.

H. B. read. I fear your correspondent "M. E.

That is to say, the publishers admit that the actual book itself, the legal work, is the same under both titles. Can it affect the question of fair dealing that what is not part of the book though bound up with it, but prefatory or introductory thereto, is made to correspond with the title? I am sorry to learn that so many members of the Profession have purchased this "Old Face with a new Mask." As to the "expressions of satisfaction," if any, it is a fact well known to many that such expressions are valueless unless they come from persons of competent judgment. The publishers, however, carefully avoid saying that they have had any such expressions of satisfaction; but leave it to be inferred. Very green would be the man who would draw the inference after reading Messrs. Lockwood's quibbling and disingenuous epistle. A MANAGINg Clerk. Norwich, 24th April, 1869. A RESPECTABLE COMMISSION AGENT.-I am unwilling to do any harm to your advertising columns, but I feel desirous of warning those not so old and experienced as myself against the traps laid by commission agents for a per centage in transacting partnership and other matters. In January last I answered an advertisement which seemed to me bona fide, although I could not find the person's name in the Law List; but when the reply came I saw at once who he was, and took no notice of it, the more so as I was asked to sign my name over a sixpenny stamp upon the form sent, to pay 5 per cent. for any business transacted. Afterwards came another letter offering a partnership on the previous terms, and then the following, to neither of which did I make any reply:-" Will you please to explain why you have drawn me into a correspondence and withdrawn in the unbusinesslike manner you have. I expect a satisfactory reply, as my time is of too much value to be trifled with. I act bona fide myself, and expect other men to reciprocate in a similar spirit." Not being satisfied with my silence, there came a fourth letter, to which I made the following reply:"Mr. W. was not aware he was addressing a mere commission agent in January last, or he would not then have wasted a penny, and he only wastes another to let Mr. J. know that in any change he may make he will only deal with respectable principals." This came back by return of post, crossed as follows, in respect of which neither to young nor old, inexperienced or unwary, need any comment, I think, be added:-" Insolent, narrowminded snob, for none but a snob would presume to act the ass and blackguard as this dirty lawyer has; but he must be senseless, and that pleads pity for the poor devil."

IN.B.-None are inserted unless the name and address of the writers are sent, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee for bona fides.] Queries. 1. DECREE IN ABSENCE.-Can any of your numerous readers inform me if a "decree in absence" obtained under sect. 6 of 30 & 31 Vict. c. 96, can be carried into force in England, and if so what is the process? Ought not the action to have been brought where the defendant resides (and not the plaintiff), seeing that defendant has no effects in Scotland? Sect. 19 (which is incorported in the above Act) of 1 Vict. c. 41, says "that any decree obtained under that Act may be enforced, where competent against the person or effects of any party in any other county, as well as in the county where the decree is issued." Does not this mean county in Scotland only? I think neither of the above Acts are applicable to England, and a decree in absence obtained in Scotland cannot be carried out here. If any of your correspondents would oblige me with their opinions I should be glad. DUBIUS. 2. COVENANT TO REPAIR IN LEASE.-Will any of your readers inform me what repairs A.

D., his heirs, and assigns, that he the said A.

TRANSFER OF MORTGAGE.-If the legal estate not of course, be transferred to C. without the assistance be in the infant heir, which may not be the case, it canof the Court of Chancery. Whether C. may be advised to leave the legal estate outstanding, until the heir come of age, I cannot tell without knowing all the circumstances of the case; but it is not unlikely that would be feasible. I presume that one effect of the prosuch a course, which would save considerable expense, bable passing of Mr Locke King's Bill for distribution of the real estate of intestates will be, that mortgagors redeeming, or transferees, will be saved the expense of applying to the Court of Chancery for vesting orders where there are infant heirs, as both the legal and equitable estate will for the future be vested in the executor or administrator.
