in plaintiff; and soon after the death of Thomas Edsell, defendant took possession, and had remained in possession ever since &c. The defendant demurred, shewing for cause, that, upon the face of the bill, it appeared that from the year 1770, which is upwards of twenty years before the filing of the bill, defendant had been in possession, and, therefore, the right of redemption was gone. The Lord Chancellor said he could not infer from the language of the bill-which was that the defendant took possession soon after 1770-that he took possession in 1770; so that it did not appear upon the face of the bill, but by the averment in the demurrer. Here the fact averred by the demurrer was the material fact on which the want of equity of the plaintiff rested. But if the demurrer uses argument in the form of an allegation of a fact, or avers facts not alleged by the bill, yet, if the apparent averments are, in reality, no more than arguments, or if the facts averred are immaterial, that is, if the equity or want of equity of the plaintiff does not depend upon the truth of those facts, the demurrer, though inartificial, is not vicious. of England, not reported,-and a case of Jones v. The Earl of Charlemont, before the same learned judge, 28th June, 1848, also not reported *. In the first of these ing place out of the jurisdiction, that an application had cases the bill alleged, in reference to a transaction takbeen made by the plaintiff at A., for relief, against the defendant, to a local tribunal of competent jurisdiction, but that the Court had refused to make any order, and had remitted the plaintiff to the proper tribunal of appeal at B. The defendant demurred, on the ground, among others, that it appeared by the bill, that the plaintiff's application had been conclusively determined by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The plaintiff's counsel urged, that the bill did not allege that the application had been conclusively determined, and that the demurrer, therefore, was a speaking demurrer, averring as a fact, that which was not averred by the bill. But the Vice-Chancellor held, that the demurrer merely put a construction on the language of the bill, and did not aver a distinct fact, and was not, therefore, a speaking demurrer. So, in Jones v. Charlemont the bill, which was by certain members of a company against Cawthorn v. Chalie (2 S. & S. 127) is an instance of others, charged, that the defendants alleged that fifteen the first species of case. There the bill was by the as- persons were allottees of shares, and had paid their designee of one of two surviving partners of a partnership posits, and ought to be made parties, and then charged, composed originally of three, for an account and dissolu- that such persons had brought actions for, and recovered, tion.

Yet Vice-Chancellor, on the objection that the demurrer the plaintiff did not aver that letters of administration was a speaking demurrer, that the demurrer did not had been taken out, and had not made such personal re- aver as a fact, that the fifteen persons were shareholders, presentatives parties. Now, here, the matter alleged as but put that construction on the language of the bill; fact by the demurrer, was the absence of sufficient alle- and that, though it might be an argumentative degation in the bill to shew why letters of administration murrer, it was not, as a speaking demurrer, bad. to the deceased partner had not been taken out. This was, in truth, no more than importing into the demurrer an argument upon the effect of the bill; not an averment of a fact dehors the bill, on the truth of which the equity of the bill depended. And the ViceChancellor, Sir J. Leach, said, "A speaking demurrer was, where, by way of argument or inference, the denurrer suggested a material fact which was not to be ound in the bill: that here there was much surplusage, ut no suggestion of any new material fact." In Davies v. Williams, (1 Sim. 5), the plaintiff filed bill of revivor, stating a supplemental bill and its The result of the authorities seems to be, that, in reality, on the question whether a demurrer is speaking or not, that which is to be looked at, is not the language of the demurrer itself, but the language of the bill referred to by the demurrer. If, on the true construction of the language of the bill, the effect of it is that which the demurrer imputes to it, though in different language, the demurrer will be merely argumentative, but not speaking. To be speaking, it must aver some fact, on the truth of which the equity turns, and which is not averred directly or by implication by the bill. Unquestionably, however, a demurrer artificially drawn, Bill and certain proceedings under the supplemental will confine itself to a repetition of the very words of the death of the plaintiff in the supplemental bill; he appointment of the present plaintiff and two others s his executors; and that plaintiff had alone proved, with power reserved to his co-executors. The defendrant demurred for want of sufficient equity in the bill of evivor against the defendant, and went on to say, that he supplemental bill was improper; that the plaintiff n it ought to have applied by petition; that the suplemental suit was the only one sought to be revived; nd then stated the absence of any allegation in the ill that the plaintiff's co-executors had renounced, nd objected for want of their being parties. The Court, o an argument that the demurrer was speaking, said, hat the argumentative part of it ought not to have been introduced, but that it was mere surplusage, and lid not render the demurrer a speaking demurrer. To hese cases may be added two very recent ones, in which, n another form, the same sort of point arose. The to which we allude are Lemmi v. Molander,-a ase Seard in October, 1847, before the Vice-Chancellor cases the bill, leaving the construction of those words for argument at the bar. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TRINITY TERM.-11 VICTORIA.-June 29. This Court will, on Saturday, the 8th day of July next, and Monday, the 10th day of the same month, hold Sittings, and will proceed in disposing of the Motions and Applications which have been made and partly heard in the same Court, and in giving Judgment in the Cases now standing for Judgment.

He believes, however, that the statement made is substantially correct. Correspondence. COMPENSATION TO PERSONS WRONGFULLY CONDEMNED. 66 TO THE EDITOR OF THE JURIST." Sir, Though I cannot unreservedly agree with Lord Coke, that "the common law is nothing but reason,' yet I think, with him, that some of its most "amiable and admirable secrets are to be reached only by deep diving, and I fear that you have rather hastily concluded, from an incomplete exploration of its depths, our old constitutional maxim, that the Crown can do no wrong, (not confined to the criminal law, but extending to every branch of the executive), ought to be altered in the manner you have proposed. I say that I fear this, because the suggestion recommends itself at once to our common notions of justice and humanity. The existing rule is intended to discourage negligence and to shut out fraud, which would otherwise occasion mischief far more serious than the accidental and very rarely occurring destruction of a man's character, and life or happiness, by the defective working of the social machinery, lamentable and lamented as such accidents must ever be. I am not sure even, that the alterations you suggest would not increase the amount of unredressed hardships of the kind to which you refer. At present, where a man is tried once for all, every exertion is made that the importance and finality of the occasion demand. No hesitating juror, no careless counsel, can comfort himself with the reflection, that the prisoner, if innocent, may appeal, (for your proposal cannot be carried into full effect without giving the right of appeal); no witness can hold back in the belief that his testimony, if it be important, may be brought forward at a new trial. Under the proposed system, we may expect to hear from the criminal bench, or in the jury box, expressions like those which too often proceed from the lips of a Vice-Chancellor : "I make the decree with hesitation, but I have the satisfaction of knowing, that, if I am wrong, I shall be set right in another place." How often will a carelessly convicted person, penniless, in bonds, removed from the scene of action, be able to procure funds or friends for a successful appeal? Look now at the effect of such a change in the protection from crime and fraud of the innocent public-a much larger and more important class of innocents than that which finds its way to the docks, though too often overlooked by the advocates of humanity. Prosecutors and witnesses in posse are not easily induced to face the annoyance of a single trial. Will the prospect of a second encourage them? Above all, by what statute of frauds and perjuries will you protect the revenue from the gainful trade of fraudulent prosecutions which will spring up when the Crown is made liable in damages? A voyage to Australia at the public expense, and an honourable acquittal with 100. damages on arriving there, would be a rational object of ambition to every enterprising scoundrel. These, Sir, are some of the grounds upon which I think it probable that the severe but salutary rule in question was founded. Let us endeavour to prevent as far as possible the recurrence of those deplorable cases in which its hardship is felt, by improving the administration of the law; but let us not lose sight of prudence in striving after an unattainable perfection of humanity.
