Excerpt from The Canada Law Journal, 1917, Vol. 53 The attack on' Miller v: Hancock was carried further in Dobson v. Horsley (1915, 1 kb. Where a child of a tenant of a room had been injured through falling from a staircase, one of the rails of which was missing. It appeared that the railing was missing at the time of the letting of the room, and the fact that it was missing was obvious on inspection - at least to adults, if not to three-years-old playing with his toys. Hence Buckley, l.j., pointed out that there was no trap, and accordingly the child and his father, who were suing as co-plaintifls, had no remedy. Here, as in other cases subsequent to Miller v. Hancock, it was observed that that was a decision upon the facts of the particular case - a remark which applies just as much, perhaps, to all decisions. It is a maxim of case-law that each decision is concerned only with particular facts, and when it purports to establish a principle wider than the facts require, the excess is liable to be treated as obiter dictum. In fact, the idea of Miller v. Hancock being based on the trap doctrine seems to have been invented by subsequent judges who did not care to place the landlord's liability as high as seemed proper to the Court of Appeal in that case, and Dobson v. H orsley and Miller v. Hancock must be regarded as being in conflict. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canada Law Journal, 1919, Vol. 55 We have to recognize, much as we may perceive the danger connected with it, that the slogan of the day is the word Bemoe racy, that which Abraham Lincoln spoke of in his immortal speech at Gettysburg, when he said, We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God shall have a new birth of f tsedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Excerpt from The Canada Law Journal, Vol. 9: From January to December, 1873 The Chicago Legal News (from which we take our report of the case) pronounces the whole proceeding tyrannical and ar bitrary, and contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, and it advocates the pea sing of an act by which the power of the State Courts to punish for contempt should be defined by statute, and their common law powers in that respect be abolished. This it appears is the position of the Supreme Court of the United States. However republican license may be of fended at the decision of the Court in the Journal Contempt Case, we think there is no reasonable doubt that it is in har mony with the spirit of the English de cisions, though none are cited therein, and there is equally little doubt that the tenor of the whole article was a gross insult to the Court. When the power of the press is so much exalted as it is nowadays, there is a tendency to make it, as the[von 11: N. 8.

Excerpt from The Lower Canada Law Journal, Vol. 2: A Monthly Magazine of Jurisprudence; July, 1866 June, 1867 Fertile as London is in places and persons of interest to an intelligent foreigner, there are, perhaps, no places more interesting to an American lawyer than the English courts, and no persons whom he more desires to see than the high functionaries engaged in the administration of the English law.
