      CORRESPONDENCE . August 17 , 1858 . SlE , —Tfce remarks in the Leader ( page 820 ) on recent legislation aa to crossed cheques appear to me to overlook a material point . Being myself convinced , on general grounds , of the inexpediency of legislative interference iu commercial dealings , I am the more desirous of having this point

      cleared . The Leader is arguing against such legislation , and it conceives the vrhole of the plague experienced during tbe last two years to have arisen from . Parliament undertaking to direct bankers and their clients how to manage their own 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 Law . This decision , -which ruled that a cheque drawn to bearer cannot , at the same time , toe drawn in favour of a particular person , destroyed at once the usage which

      had 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 been left to itself . But the Common La-w , -which exists and is not made , was there to declare that usage inadmissible . What was the remedy ? . Either the bonkers must be left to devise another practice liable to be swept away at any moment by a construction of the courts ; or , fhatlaw should undo the difficulty which law created , and legalise an existing , bat 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 pre ^ existence 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 . £ VVe only differ from our intelligent correspondent by including the Common Law as well as the Statute Law

      tinder 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 concerning stamps- Though the Common Law l > e , 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 . —Ep . l

      Ax Execution At The Tolbooth.—The Crimin...

      Ax Execution at the Tolbooth . —The criminal was led out from the Tolbooth at the Gross , 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" ( in former time 3 a very steep part of the High-street ) it stood still , when occasionally a verse or two of a psalm was sung , the malefactor himself giving out the line , and the multitude raising their hats in token of sympathy , whilst every irindow adjacent was crowded ivitb . spectators . The affecting ceremony was sometimes performed in front of the alrnshoiue in Kirk-street , where the tremulous notes of the criminal were intermingled with the plaintive intonations of the passing bell , and the whole catastrophe was summed up by a psalm and a prayer , and frequently a last speech at the execution . —Notes and Queries .
