O knihe

Excerpt from The Law Magazine and Review, 1880, Vol. 5: For Both Branches of the Legal Profession

Chief Justice of England before it is submitted to the consideration of the Legislature. It was the remark of an illustrious justiciary of the Bench in Westminster Hall, whose work on the laws and customs of England, compiled in the reign of Henry III., is the great storehouse of our common law, that England was the only country which used unwritten laws - a remarkable fact, which shows that the people of England from a very early time set law unto themselves, and have always been a nation which paid deserved respect to custom. There is no reason to fear that the introduction of a code, compiled under the conditions above mentioned, will curtail the liberties of the English people, or will con¿ict with the time-honoured customs of the land, under which the nation has attained to its present greatness, and has sent forth such vigorous ofi'shoots to other lands. Her colonists have carried with them the common law of England, and such portions of her statute law as were applicable to their circumstances. They were thus miniature likenesses of the parent State, and they have developed themselves after her pattern. It should be the steadfast aim of the mother-country - notwithstanding her daughters, having the advantage of youth on their side, may be able to rival her, or even to surpass her in beauty always to maintain her superiority in wisdom, which is the privilege of age, and the best test of her superiority in wisdom, whilst it will be at the same time the greatest security for the happiness of her people, will be found in her continued amendment from time to time of her laws, where their equity may have become doubtful, or their administra tion has been found defective.
