of the Finance (1909-10) Act 1910 amounts to £650,000. In view of the provisions of sect. 16 of the Revenue Act 1911 (which suspends the operation of sect. 91 of the Finance (1909-10) Act 1910), no portion of this sum is due to local authorities.

Mr. Goldstone, for Mr. A. Henderson, asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the report of the Departmental Committee on accidents in places under the Factory Acts had now been considered; whether any steps of an administrative character had been taken in respect thereof; and whether he proposed to introduce a measure next session to give effect to the recommendations dealing with unfenced machinery and other dangerous conditions in factories and workshops.Mr. McKenna: The report of the committee, which deals with a variety of subjects and makes numerous and important recommendations, has been and still is under the consideration of my department. On a number of points steps are already being taken, or are in contemplation. The chief subject is, of course, the safeguarding of machinery, to which my hon. friend refers in the question. As regards this, I am afraid I can make no promise of legislation at the present moment, but I am advised that a good deal can be done in the direction of formulating precise requirements, as recommended by the committee, by means of regulations under the existing powers; and proposals in this direction are already in train. Further, reports on different classes of machinery are in preparation; and arrangements for conferences, as suggested in the report, between the department and the representatives of different industries have already been made in the case of the cotton industry, and will, I hope, be made shortly in the case of some other industries. Progress is also being made with the scheme for the establishment of an industrial museum of safety and health appliances. I may, perhaps, point out that the field to be covered is a very wide one, and that it must be the labour of many months fully to give effect to the committee's proposals.

ECCLESIASTICAL LAW.

CATHEDRAL CANONS AND COUNTY VOTES. THE Votes of the Dean and Canons of Canterbury were attacked in the Revision Court this year. The first case was that of Canon Mason. The revising barrister said: "The vote in question is that of the Rev. Arthur James Mason, who I understand is a canon having as his place of abode the Precincts, Canterbury, and he claims a freehold benefice, and the description of the qualifying property is Canterbury Cathedral. The following facts have been agreed: That the dean is appointed by the Crown; the canons, including the Rev. Arthur James Mason, are appointed by the Crown; the Archdeacons of Canterbury and Maidstone are appointed by the archbishop, and all the above appointments are for life. The Archdeacons of Canterbury and Maidstone each have a stall in the cathedral. The revenues of the chapter applicable to the emoluments of the dean and chapter are divided into eight parts, of which the dean takes two parts and each of the other six-including the Rev. Arthur James Mason-takes one. The revenues of the chapter are derived in part at any rate from lands in the parish of Christ Church, and the lands and each share of them, so far as the present claim is concerned, are to be taken to be worth more than 40s. by the year in each claim. The funds are divisible under an Order in Council dated Aug. 1857, and the dean and chapter, considered as a corporation aggregate, cannot interfere with that division, but are obliged to make it in the proportions thereby laid down. The point between the objector and his opponent is a short one. It is admitted that if the qualification claimed were 'freehold house and land' it would be bad because the freehold of the house and land is in the dean and chapter as a corporation aggregate, as in the case of Harris v. Phillips, the case of the Lincoln canons (1891) 1 Q. B. 267). But the qualification here claimed is freehold benefice.' The objector argues that in substance this means the same thing as 'freehold house and land,' and cites the case of Kirton v. Dear (21 L. T. Rep. 532; L Rep. 5 C. P. 217) in support of that view. On the other hand, it is said that a claim for a freehold benefice is clearly good, if the benefice be in the claimant as a natural person or a 'corporation sole,' and the emoluments are derived in part, at any rate, from land within the parish. There is no authority that I can find precisely in point, but upon the whole I think that the canon ought to have a vote for his 'freehold benefice' in this case for the following reasons: The ancient statute of 1429 (expressed in Norman French) gave the vote to certain persons dont chescun ait frank tenement à la value de XLs. per an'-that is to say, to every person who has frank tenement or a 'free holding. It does not say 'of land.' It does not say a 'free holding' of what. The statute of 1432 adds the words "deins mesme le

countee that is to say, in the same county-as that where Parliamentary franchise is in question. These ancient statute though passed in the time of Henry VI. are still part of the law of England. Coke upon Littleton says that the things 'wherein a man hath a frank tenement' include. not only lands and other inheritances which may be holden, but also offices: (Co. Lit. 6A). Rogers on Elections says: A benefice or office to be holden for life and having certain fixed emoluments attached to it (arising out of land) is a freehold entitling the owner to vote': (16th edit., vol. 1, p. 19). And he cites the Middlesex case decided by one of the old Parliamentary Committees in 1804 (Peckwell's Cases, vol. 2, p. 93). Now if a benefice gives a vote there seems to be no doubt that Canon Mason holds the benefice in this case as a natural person or corporation sole, having an absolute and indefeasible right for life to all its emoluments, and that the corporation aggregate have no right to interfere with the benefice. The benefice or canonry does not belong to the corporation aggregate. And the benefice is in every sense deins mesme le countee.' It is in the same county and parish as those with which I am now concerned-whether the canon's service of his office in Canterbury Cathedral be looked to or whether the lands be looked to from which he derives his revenues, and a sufficient part of which are in Christ Church parish. I hold therefore that he is entitled to a vote in respect of his freehold benefice."

THE subject that was discussed at the opening meeting of the Solicitors' Apprentices' Debating Society in the auditorial address on the 30th ult. was "Industrial Disputes." The subject was not one of direct interest to the Profession, but it aroused a very interesting discussion, the speakers being Mr. A. M. Sullivan. K.C., Mr. James O'Connor, K.C., and Professor Kettle, barristerat-law. The subject was dealt with almost entirely as economic interest, although Mr. O'Connor, K.C., in his speech referred to recent measures, such as the Housing of the Working Classes Act, the Old Age Pensions Act, and the Workmen's Compensation Act, which were passed in the interest of the industrial classes, and which, therefore, tended to obviate the necessity for industrial strikes.

SOME difficulty has arisen in Dublin with reference to the service of notices on jurors, a topic to which Mr. Justice Dodd referred on the 31st ult. He said that out of a jury panel of 200 names drawn according to the statute by the sheriff for the county Dublin, only seven persons answered. In seventy-two cases the summons had been returned, and his Lordship asked the sheriff to write direct notes by the ordinary post to these seventy two gentlemen. In the majority of cases the letters reached them, having been redirected by someone else; but those sent out officially were not so redirected, and, of course, did not reach the persons in question. The difficulty arose in most cases through changes of address on the part of the jurymen, and Mr. Justice Dodd stated that he had made inquiries from the Post Office with reference to the service of these notices. This inves tigation was taken, of course, in the interests of the jury, because a really effective jury panel of 200 meant that each juror would only have to serve one day, whereas if there was only an effective panel of twenty-four or forty-eight jurors, each juror would have to serve more than one day. Accordingly, his Lordship directed a further inquiry to ascertain the exact facts of the case with reference to the names that were on the list and with reference to the service, for the purpose, if the present system were not effective, of having it amended.

THE members of the King's Bench Division on the 31st ult. made some observations with reference to the giving of costs in certiorari cases against magistrates. The case was that of Re (Catherine Mooney) v. Justices of Wicklow. The prosecutor sought to quash an order of the magistrates convicting her of neglecting to send her children to school. The case for the prosecutor was that the magistrates had refused to hear the solicitor employed by her in the case, and that she had been convicted unheard. Counsel for the justices was unable to support the conviction. The Lord Chief Baron said that, as regards costs, the court would follow the ordinary rule, under which no costs were awarded against a magistrate unless it was shown that he had acted mala fide. He added that the court had been asked to give costs against one of the magistrates in consequence of his having used language at the hearing of the case which he (the Lord Chief Baron) had no hesitation in saying he ought not to have used. But, as against that, he considered that the action of the prosecutor's solicitor had been reprehensible, and that if he gave costs against the magistrate it would be a justification of the language which the solicitor had used. Accordingly, the court quashed the conviction, but without any order as to costs.

A NEW LIBRARY OF CRIMINAL SCIENCE. Modern Criminal Science Series. I. Modern Theories of Criminality. By C. Bercaldo de Quirós, of Madrid. Translated from second Spanish edition by Dr. Alphonso de Salvio (Northwestern University). Introduction by W. W. Smithers, Secretary Comparative Law Bureau of the American Bar Association. II. Criminal Psychology. By Hans Gross, Professor of Criminal Law, University of Gratz. Translated from the German by Dr. Horace M. Kallen (Harvard University). Introduction by Joseph Jastrow. II. Crime: Its Causes and Remedies. By Cesare Lombroso, late Professor University of Turin. Translated from the German and French editions by Rev. H. P. Horton, of Columbia. Introduction by Maurice Parmelee (University of Missouri). London: Wm. Heinemann.

Ar the National Conference of Criminal Law and Criminology, held in Chicago in June 1909, a new society was created, called the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. One of the first resolutions passed by the institute instructed the president to appoint a committee of five with power to select, for translation into English, certain important foreign treatises on criminology. A beginning has been made with the three works whose titles stand at the head of this review. An English library planned on these lines has long been wanted (though of course we already possess a certain number of excellent translations from the French and Italian), and, on the whole, the American institute has started well.

Criminal science, as is remarked in the general introduction to the series, covers a much wider field than criminal law; and "the Legal Profession in particular has a duty to familiarise itself with the principles of that science, as the sole means for intelligent and systematic improvement of the criminal law." The generation of students inspired by Cesare Lombroso (whose first brilliant but imperfect edition of L'Uomo Delinquente was published in 1876) may be said to be pretty definitely agreed upon one fact: that, for the criminal who is to receive any benefit from imprisonment, individualisation of treatment is necessary. "Now this truth opens up a vast field for re-examination. It means that we must study all the possible data that can be causes of crime the man's heredity, the man's physical and moral make-up, his emotional temperament, the surroundings of his youth, his present home, and other conditions-all the influencing circumstances. And it means that the effect of different methods of treatment, old or new, for different kinds of men and of causes, must be studied, experimented, and compared. Only in this way can accurate knowledge be reached, and new efficient measures be adopted."

By Mr. Maurice Parmelee, a member of the committee on translations (and author of an admirable treatise on the principles of Anthropology and Sociology in their Relations to Criminal Procedure), the science of criminology is accurately divided into two branches. The first deals with the criminal man, his physiological and psychological characteristics, &c. The second deals with the social causes of crime." The questions with which this new science is nowadays concerned are many and far-reaching. Some of them are clearly stated in a collective note by the committee.

"Is the difference between the criminal and the just an anthropological one, to be recognised by structural and functional peculiarities? Is the criminal marked off from other men by the shape of his head, of his ears; by his physiognomy; by the length of his arms, and his physique generally; by his functions, his mode of speech, the reaction of his nervous system, and his mental peculiarities? Is he a criminal born, the product of heredity alone; or does he owe his criminality to the influence of his circumstances? If he is so born, is his criminality due to his parentage and immediate ancestry or is he a throw-back,

the reproduction after many intervening generations of some more or less remote ancestral form, long superseded by more developed types of man? If his criminality is the result of his circumstances, what is the criminalising factor in the circumstances? Is it geologic, climatic, geographical, or social, and, if social, what is the effect of different social factors on the production of crime?"

still a

These, and sundry other questions-methods of punishment, prevention of crime, treatment of young criminals, of children with criminal tendencies, and so forth-have for years been under consideration by many minds in many countries. An immense mass of information has been collected. Naturally it has not all as yet been properly digested; and, as the science is comparatively new one, there are "wide and numerous differences of opinion" upon the nature and causes of crime, its conditions, and the ways of treating and preventing it. respect of many questions, the answers that can at present be given are rather provisional than positive; but in the facts already tabulated there is food for a world of readers—“the student of crime and of humanity at large, the legislator, the judge, the prison authority, and the police.

In

Here and there in Europe the students of criminology have been investigating to serious purpose for at least forty years.

Anthropologists, doctors of medicine, psychologists, economists, sociologists, philanthropists, and penologists have assisted them. The law alone has abstained. The science of law is the one to be served by all this. But the public in general and the Legal Profession in particular have remained either ignorant of the entire subject or indifferent to the entire subject or indifferent to the entire scientific movement. And this ignorance or indifference has blocked the way to progress in administration. The institute therefore takes upon itself, as one of its aims, to inculcate the study of modern criminal science, as a pressing duty for the Legal Profession and for the thoughtful community at large."

As has been said, one principal mode of forwarding this study is the rendering available in our own language of the most useful modern treatises in the languages of other countries. Of the three writers chosen to lead the way in this enterprise, the first has a name scarcely known to English readers. Señor de Quirós, although not yet forty years of age, has, however, a large continental celebrity. His work on Modern Theories of Criminality, of which the original edition was issued in 1898, achieved an immediate and wide success, and is well described by

his American sponsor as "a highly meritorious and valuable psychological treatment of criminals, prostitutes, beggars, and that multitude of degenerate human flotsam and jetsam known in modern Spanish as golfos, a term which embraces and more than our word vagabonds.

[ocr errors]

Señor de Quirós has given us a detailed account of penology in different countries and at different epochs, and his historical survey of the theories of the origin of criminality testifies to the extent of his reading on the subject. It is an extraordinary piece of work to have been produced by a student of five or six and twenty.

Unfortunately, Señor de Quirós' translator has done him only the most indifferent justice, and the committee on translations should have taken pains to give us something much better for their first venture. Let the reader glance at such a passage as the following:

"Moreover, what shall we say of the influence of the social medium already saturated with the ideas which to-day are crystallised? To speak of it would be to repeat words already uttered; but it is important to note the fact, because when it is a question of science and scientists, there still persist, even in modern science, the legend of Minerva's birth and a class prejudice which reduce the role played by the medium of environment and of the public which compose it to that played by the Greek chorus around the hero or the genius."

A kind of meaning (possibly not the author's!) may with difficulty be picked out of this; but the passage is obscure to a degree, and in no way resembles the English that should be looked for in a scientific treatise. The work abounds in paragraphs as dark as (or darker than) the foregoing; the reader is continually perplexed, and sometimes almost completely baffled.

The names of Dr. Hans Gross and the late Cesare Lombroso are, of course, very well known to readers of this journal. To Dr. Gross' exhaustive work on Criminal Investigation we have often had occasion to refer, and the volume before us is not less completely packed with the fruits of his vast and curious learning. The wealth of illustration, from his own manifold experiences as an investigating magistrate, and from his immense thorough intimacy with the best European works on crime and criminology, give to any treatise of Dr. Gross' a fascination that is of the utmost help to it on its scientific side, inasmuch as the reader who is once well set at the pages can scarcely put them from him. Criminal Psychology (which in the main has been very well translated) is by no means merely an examination of the mental states of the criminal classes. It is a study also of the minds of judge, witnesses, and police, a complete chapter in applied psychology--

[ocr errors]

A vast lesson on the fallibility of human nature; showing how our senses may deceive us; our memory may play us false; our emotions and desires may warp, not only our testimony, but our beliefs; how the value of evidence may be affected, not only by the prejudices, the superstitions, the emotions of the witness. but even by his sex, age, bodily health, and a score of other factors."

In Lombroso's Crime: its Causes and Remedies, there is a conspicuous absence of the crudities and the generalities that provoked such a rage of fierce and abusive criticism thirty and fiveand-thirty years ago. "It discusses in detail and with an elaborate statistical basis, all the factors that the most vivid imagination could suggest as possible causes or conditions of crime; and shows what ground there is for supposing that they exert an influence on its production. It discusses, moreover, in the light of the great learning and experience of its author, the means that have been and may be employed for the prevention and punishment of crime, from liquor-laws to flogging, and from religious ministration to expert evidence."

This, in a word, is Lombroso's ripest and most thoughtful work. In this hurried purview we have been content to indicate

the contents and scope of the opening volumes of the new library To the Gross and the Lombroso, at all events, we shall take leav to ask attention on future occasions. It may be hoped that th support of the public, both here and in America, will enable the organisers and publisher to go forward with their very interesting enterprise. T. II.
