A Recent History Of English Law, Arthur Lyon Cross

Michigan Law Review

In 1607, if his own word can be behaved, "tough old Sir Edward Coke," that monster of legal learning, told King James I "that causes which concern the life, or inheritance, or goods, or fortunes of his subjects are not to be decided by natural reason, but by the artificial reason and judgment of the law, which requires long study and experience before a man can attain to the cognizance of it." The celebrated Sir John Fortesque, when pressed on one occasion in the reign of Henry VI by the legal absurdity of a distinction he was laying down as …

Some Historical Matter Concerning Trade-Marks, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Most of the text books on the subject of trade marks begin with the case of Southern v. How, and either expressly assert, or by implicating convey the impression that trade marks are a comparatively modern thing, when, as a matter of fact few human institutions can boast a more respectable antiquity. The use of trade marks dates from the very earliest times of which we have any knowledge. The recent excavations in Asia Minor and in Egypt have revealed bricks bearing names which are supposed to be those of the manufacturers accompanied in many instances by devices. Roman bricks …

Unwary Purchaser, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Anyone who has occasion to examine the cases involving trade mark infringement and other forms of unfair trading by the imitation of names, labels, packages and the like, must at once be struck by their irreconcilable conflict. While, of course, the facts in no two cases are alike, this diversity cannot account for the variance in result. The rule of law to be applied is not seriously disputed. The Lord Ordinary's definition of infringement, in Smith v. Carron, 13 R. P. C. 109, III, can hardly be improved upon: "A trade mark is infringed when goods are sent into the …

The Judicial Test Of A Reasonable Railroad Rate, And Its Relation To A Federal Valuation Of Railway Property, Charles G. Fenwick

Michigan Law Review

When the difficulties of the subject are fairly weighed it is not surprising that the problem of the basis by which the reasonableness of railroad rates may be tested continues to await a definite solution by the courts. The Interstate Commerce Commission has confessed its inability at present to decide upon those larger aspects of the question which arise when general schedules are under consideration. In its Annual Report for 1903, the Commission made appeal to Congress that provision be made, whether independently of the Commission or by an enlargement of its powers, for an authoritative valuation of railway property. …

An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter

Michigan Law Review

The legislature of the State of Michigan at its latest session, attempted to provide a remedy for the injustice often occasioned by the boards of supervisors in equalizing the assessment rolls of the several townships, wards and cities of their respective counties. For that purpose it passed Act No.292 of the laws of 19O9 amending secs. 34 and 37 of the general tax law. The act provides that any supervisor of any township or city who considers his township or city aggrieved by the action of the board of which he is a member, in equalizing the valuation of the …

Taxation Of Easements, Bradley M. Thompson

Articles

In the case of Lever v. Grant,1 the supreme court passed incidentally upon the effect of a tax deed on an easement appurtenant to the estate on which the delinquent taxes had been levied. From the facts in that case it appears that in 1884 the owner of a parcel of land in the city of Detroit, bounded on the west by Woodward avenue, platted the same. The plat shows a street on the north side extending from Woodward avenue east thirty feet wide, one-half the width of an ordinary street. This street was named Custer Avenue. The next year, …
