CORRESPONDS KTCE . August 17 , 1858 . Sib , —The remarks in the Leadef ( page 820 ) on recent legislation as to crossed cheques appear to me to overlook a material point . Being myself convinced , on general grounds , of the inexpediency of legislative interference in commercial dealings , I am the more desirous of having this point ¦ cleared . The Leader is arguing against each legislation , and it conceives the whole of the plague experienced during the last two years to have arisen from Parliament undertaking to direct bankers and their clients ho-w to manage their oyrn . business . This reasoning surely overlooks - the fact , though it is alluded to elsewhere , that these legislative attempts arose out of a decision given in a Court of Common l < aw . This decision , which ruled that a « beque drawn to bearer cannot , at the same time , be drawn in favour of a particular person , destroyed at once the usage which liad grown up in the banking trade . The attempt of the Legislature , however ill-contrived , -was then an attempt to remedy the inconvenience of the law as it
Stood . Had there been no law applicable to the business , banking usage might have be « n left to itself . But the Common Law , which exists and is not made , was there to declare that usage inadmissible . "What was the xemedy ? Either the bankers must be left to devise another practice liable to be swept away at any moment l > y a construction of the courts ; or , that law should undo the difficulty which law created , and legalise an existing , Imt illegal , usage .
I dwell on this , not for the sake of the special question of cheques , but for the more extended principle involved . How is the system of non-interference by the Legislature to be carried out consistently with the eternal preesistence of the Common Law ? Let commerce find its own level and make its own ways . Good . But the Common Law is always there , and how does Statute Law violate the principle of freedom more than Common Law .
¦ ¦; ¦ - . ¦ .. ¦ •; . . . . . ¦ -: ¦ - • ¦ :.,: . - . : ,- ¦ , - . ¦ ¦ m . p . [ We only differ from out intelligent correspondent by including the Common Law as well as the Statute Law under the term legislation . The decision of the court alluded to then for the first time made the law , ; and it was made in conformity to a statute law c oncerning Stamps . Though the Common Law be , as our correspondent says , always there , it exists in the breasts of the judges , and when the Statute "Law ; , does not compel them , as in this case , to take a different course , they are inclined to praise it and adapt it to the practices of commerce . These , in truth , are the foundations of the Common Law as to trade , and it is likely to vary with them-while the Statute Law sets itself above the practices of commerce . —Ed . " ]
An Execution At Thu Tolbooth.—The Crimin...
An Execution at thu Tolbooth . —The criminal was led out from the Tolbooth at the Cross , arrayed in a loose dress of white linen with trimmings of black . His arms being pinioned , he had his station at the end of a cart , on which lay extended before his eyes the coffin or shell in which his body was about to be deposited . He had an open Bible in his hand , and was usually attended by one or two clergymen , who encouraged him in his devotions by the way , and aided him in his preparations for eternity . The magistrates of the city , preceded by the town officers with their halberts , and accompanied by a strong military guard , formed the procession . On its
arrival at the "Bell o' the brae" ( informer times a very steep part of the High-street ) it stood still , when occasionally a verse or two of a psalin vraa sung , the malefactor himself giving out the line , and the multitude raising their hats in token of sympathy , -whilst every window adjacent was crowded with spectators . The affecting ceremony was sometimes performed , in front of the almshouse in Kirk-street , -where tho tremulous notes of the criminal were intermingled with the plaintive intonations of the passing bell , and the whole catastrophe was summed up hy a psalm and a prayer , and frequently a last speech at the execution . —Notes and Queries .
