Every member of the bar, says the 2f.
Y. Tramcripi, will recognize, on reading
tli admirable article which we rcproducs
from the Solicitor's Seurnal this morning,
tli at we are suffering from the amu hsste
in our trials which is. charging the Nisi
Fnus ia England. Tha trial of a cause
in utittiy Mtiex now-a days ia conducted
nut by tha counsel on either side, but by
the court, and although the result La to
materially sbortan the procsodings, jot
neither party lias been able to set it be
fore tha jjry according t hia own theory
Add it is hi right ta do. We have
often seen a cross-examination, j-isf as it
promised important rssulla, ruiRtid by the
interposition of a Judge, to whom tha
unlortonntA questioner was obliged to ex
plain the maUiUditj of his Questions.
Troe, it is a sor trial tu patience to be
obliged tm listen to immaterial questions
repeated with abundant poveity of varia
tion, but the same practice which relieves
Courts and Juries from the infliction id
destroying the great art of cross-examination,
au fart which has done perhaps more
than any other toward the rein of Jus
tice by the chu'idrttion cf trnth.
With twenty Judges in cur Si'p-rior
Conrt, as tha linkers of our new (Jonsii
ti,tion propose to constitute them, we
PhiJJ I.hvo no xcse for this sort cf inter
ference in the cendutt of trials, and we
may expect a rtturu to tho good old cus-
toai of allowing ft client, through his
counsel to in:d-.o or mar his cui in his
own wiy.
The following is the article alluded to:
Much has been written lately ubont tha
function of the Ju l-i in the trial cf cases
tit Nisi IViua, and the estci.t to which ho
ought to interfere io the examination of
witnesses, and other details of the trial.
There discussions have bor, suggested by
0110 or two recent "f.vnoo," ns tJicy are
commonly called, anglfcc, quarrels between
Judge and advocate ; and tlu rcfore, not
unnsturil'y, the whole, matter has been
tio-nted n if it concerned otdy tho idiosyn
crncias of p:ut";cubr judges or advocates,
utid as if tliiiao idiopyncrncies were the
yiAxt tauf-c of rtvin modern practices
which riJGl of the writers have united in
condemning, l!" ic thought tha subject
had no o:Xf-r interest than this we should
not meddle w ith i. I';:t I i or.r jndg
tii&il Iho matter is one cf fur wider" im-
M.rt!ncc, and deserves to bo treated far
jtoro comprehensively. The dot:!s which
Lnvo been so ir.uch discussed nro in fact
only symptoms of n rrvwiniion which has
long bciti in progross in the whole y6tem
cf conducting trials r.t Kici iViaa.

Cascs ar fried Vefjtt a doable tribv.aal,
a jiida ro-i a jury, the or.e to decida is
urt of law, the other to ileciJa issues of
fot. Itv qrK:tio of law Ihe ary have
witt rirbt o irrterfere ; with questions of
fturf thjs jscljo Iias nofkhig ti do except
t i koep order in Couit while the jury are
trying them. Ia determining what iues
of fact shall bo Iwonjxlit bofore the jury,
tlie judge has no voiwe : tho parties may,
by their plorinp; raii? what qncstion
they picas, and in what frrn, they please;
what they choose to raise the j-idgo can
not keenfiom the j'.rr, wh.t :hy hfve net
raised the jude cannot oric'inata. Aud
when the c is j comes for trial it is for tho
partk;, represented by their coansc!, to
tlocida how they fhall present their cae
tw the jary who are to try it, what facts
skall bo told, what wi'ncrses shall be
ralsd and what kept b:ck, what points
jn.ritl on and and what abandoned.
The ju.TjjO sits in fiie ring as a mere refe
ree to seo that both pirtics fi-ht fair. It
is true that ho may Ikto iiicide;Haliy to
deride question 01" l.iw as they arise from
tuna to timr nad to exercise the power f
th court in granting or refu.-'n applica
tions to his d'.Fcrc-lion r.plications to
amend tho pleadings, to adjourn tho. trial,
to recall witi-.o?-e, and the like. It is
tre, too, that when the ens closed he
will have to recapitulate the evidence to
the jury, nnd in order that he do so cor
rectly, he id at liberty to pnt such ques
tions to the witnesses as socro necessary
to him. 15ut otherwio lie is as mnch a
stranger to the trial as any spectator in
the court. In harmony with this are two
characteristic features of our svstem of
procedure tha iho cro?-osr.minatin cf
witnesses, and oar strict rulc of evidence.
"Witnesses are oroxs-cxaminod, not by the
jn.'Jjre, or to siiiisfy the mind of the judge,
friit by tho hostile eounsel from instruc
tions of which the judge knwa nothisj,
a-nd far the purpose which the judge may
never undoratand the the object of the
whole hein- to proIuco nn impression on
tS.c mini's of the jiry. So oa to our p
ealiar and strict rules of evidence ; their
necessity, as every authority states it,
arises from this very method. Tlio issues
having to be dechled by an unkilifxl tri
bcnftl. and the control of tho oause being
in the hand nr. of an impartial judge,
but the p.-.nies themselves, iti absolutely
netcsfary to define, with minuto accuracy,
what tlycy may bring bofore the jury, and
tvhat ftiey may not. The j'tde enforces
these niVs, but ho has no discretion what
ever ai to what shall bo aJmittcd and
vhst shall r.ct.
There can bo no question that such is
in theory tha m lo of trying issues of
fact according to the law of England. It
fa pliin thtt owing to the constant appeals
to him in hia judicial capacity to decide
points incidentally arising, tha judge
0uM perer be anj'hing lika a cypher in
art. And apart from his strictly offi
cial aathority the inflesnca of a wise and
ob! man in nc! a position, both with
oudssI find jury, rau of course be im
iv3&. But we beripvo that until lately
tb iiro fundamental prinr.plcs f.at the
jlry ttlono am the judges of fact, and tha.t
the ptrties alona have tki control and
OStj-fuct f fbs c.tus!, we very generally
Oscnxd. Judges im4 counsel alik were
fcrral)t in siftiwg law frusa fact, and
ftieipnr; ei.ch t tbo prop-ir jrisdeton.
Tfta -iy hbKMl?y absiwinr from
taking any part in the case except such
an belong to him as judge of the law and
referee in the contest. And causes were
ordinarily tried out in due, addreeses to
the jury, examination, cross-examinaiioc,
summing up and vardict, following one
niter another in the regular and unbreken
sermence contemplated by law. And this
is on udanirable mode of trial. Indeed,
we believe that ia the long run it is the
otdy system by which justice can be done
bt-fors such a tribunal. The tribunal
being one wholly untrained in judicial in
quiry, this system provides that the case
in court shall be conducted by men who
thoroughly know the case beforehand, and
know what it is desirable to bring for
ward, and what it is not, and who nro
chosen for their special skill in presenting
facts to the lainds of a jury, r.nd thus it
6ccures a thorough investigation of tha
case. Moreover, it peculiarly guards the
dignity cf the judge. The judge reigns
but doos not rule ; he ia first in dignity,
but not in power ; he presides over the
inquiry, but has no voice ia its result.
This ia a somewhat di-lieato position when
filled by a man cf ensrgy, and in the pres
ence of zealous counsel, who have noth
irg but tho verdict of the j'ary in view ;
and it ia obvious Hint a strict adherence
lo ihe cider cf proceeding?, r.nd a strict
obcrvrr.ce by each party judge, jury
and counsel of the province which theo
retically belongs to each, is the ure3t
way to avoid any collision ar misunder-
j standing between them.
But this recu'nr and formal mode of
trying out ca.ces has one drawback it is
Hot elwaj9 the quickest mode. Counsel
may w;;sto time by tedious speeches, or
needless elaboration of evidence, or vnerue,
tl ;'iin croFs-cxaminntion ; the judge may
often see a short cut over a etilo much
shorter than the hiirh road ; some moda
of getting at tho facts quicker thr.n the
regular one ; some way of disposing of
the enee without trying it out ; and the
one object in all osr courts now is to save
time. Tlu;y are burdened with arrears ;
t-13 judges are pit&bit g a Sisyphus load
uphill. There are of course differences
between judges. They like other men are
not all equal in self control, in patience,
in temper, in discretion, and some have
fchown themselves greviouslr deficient in
tliosa qualities. Hut tha m:in cause of
thi pr?nt ehnnge whirh had taken placo is
tlio desire to set thronch the work a3
quickly as possible. The result is that
instead cf caes being for tho mot part
tried out in all form, like a game of
chess, ns they were onco in England, and
as they etiil generally are in Ireland, it-is
not one casa in ten that is tried at all ;
thy are forced to compromise, or a rtfer
tn20, or something-, to drive tcm out of
ccurt. If a ea-o is tried it is ctm-nonly
irio.1 in a roagli an re:;Jy fashion ; tho
(ns object is to get the two btorios known,
aud the facts on the judge's notes as fast
an possible, regularly irregularly any
how. As for tha solemn order of proce
dure, tho sifting of law from fact, and .
distinguishing the fur.ctiong of the judge,
jary and counsel in tha old fashioned way,
thr-re is no time for that. Crossxami
nation, which to be of any real use must
be fclow, cautious, tentative ; must win,
if id all, not by assault, but by the pa
tient and covert labor of the engineer, and
must therefore occupy time, is being prac
i ally abandoned.
No one familiar with Nisi Prias trials
will think that we have exaggerated the
ciianga which hr.8 taken placo and "13 still
going on in the conduct ef business.
We believe this to be a most scriou3
evil ; for we hold that ease before a
judga and jury can only be fairly tried in
the old strict fashion, all parties adhering
to their several functions. But we are
not mtich inclined to blame judges or
counsel for the pass that things have come
to ; they have only acted on the belief
that it is better to settle many cases some
how than r few cases well. The remedy
must come from the LegisIatHre. In the
first phce, whether by adding to the num
ber of judges, or by redietrib'iiing their
work, or both, more judjes for Ni.4 Prius
must be provided. In the second place,
trirtl before a jury, is by far tha slowest
j of all possible modes of trial, and is by
no mns in all cases the most suitabls.
It would be an enormoii3 saing of ti:nr,
asd in the opinion of ranny a great iui
provomant also in the administration of
jtiffice if many cases now tried before
jude and jury were tried before a judge
alone. Instead of as now, trial by jury
being in all eases the rule, with only n
power to try before a judge by connt, it
may well be questioned whether in many
large clr.sses of cases ihe trial should not
be before a judge, unless either party
socially applied for a -jury. This sys
tem works admirably in tho Divorce
Court, and in the country courts. At
any rate it would be a less evil to change
the tribunal at once than, as at present,
t retain the tribunal and abandon the
procoedars which can ulono make that
ti ibunal a safe one.
