Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, Ii, Alonzo H. Tuttle Mar 1905

Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, Ii, Alonzo H. Tuttle

Michigan Law Review

We have seen by the great weight of authority that removal for cause requires notice, charges and a chance to defend. It remains for us to discuss the most difficult question of all. What is the nature of this power? Is it judicial or executive in character? The importance of this question is two-fold. 1. If executive in nature, the courts have no power to review it by the writ of certiorari. If judicial, they have. 2. If judicial, the question arises, is it constitutional to confer such a power on an executive officer? Upon the question whether the power …


Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley Mar 1905

Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley

Michigan Law Review

Previous to the invasion of William the Conqueror the ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England was not at all clearly defined. Under the protection, and, as protection implies jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of the bishops were the following: sacred persons and sacred things. Among the former were included men in orders, monks and nuns; and among the latter: churches and church-yards, books and furniture of churches, sacraments, ecclesiastical and marital rituals. So far as can be found, there were not at that time any separate ecclesiastical courts. The bishops, with the assistance of archdeacons and deans, exercised their ecclesiastical jurisdiction through the …

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem Mar 1905

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

In determining what aspect of the general question I should discuss in the brief time available, it seemed to me desirable that I should confine my attention to the constitutional aspect of the matter, leaving the discussion of the practical workings of the various laws actually enacted to those who have had more opportunity to observe them. The constitutional side of the matter has already been very ably discussed by Professor Tuttle in MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW and I do not hope to add materially to what is there said, though certain of the questions may be approached in a somewhat …


Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, I, Alonzo H. Tuttle Feb 1905

Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, I, Alonzo H. Tuttle

Michigan Law Review

Decidedly the most important and best considered debate in the history of Congress, is what Wm. Evarts calls the debate that took place in 1789 in the first session of Congress, under the Constitution, on the question of the nature of the power of the President to remove his appointees from office. The character of this debate is discussed elsewhere in this magazine." Suffice it to say that as a result it was decided then by Congress that under the Constitution the President has the absolute power of removal of all his appointees, without the assent of the Senate. This …


The Abuse Of New Trials, Everett P. Wheeler Feb 1905

The Abuse Of New Trials, Everett P. Wheeler

Michigan Law Review

It would seem a truism to state that the object of courts of justice is to do justice between the parties. Theoretically, for the purpose of promoting this object, a revision is allowed of the proceedings of the court of first instance. This is sometimes had before the full court sitting in bane, and sometimes before an appellate tribunal. But the experience of every lawyer who has much to do with the actual trial of cases and the argument of appeals, is that the decision of the appellate tribunal very often turns, not upon the merits of the case, but …

Letter From Sen. Kittredge To Librarian Of Congress, Dated January 27, 1905, Recommending That Librarian Call Conference, United States Congress

Legislative History – Copyright Act of 1909

UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee on Patents

Washington, D. C.
January 27, 1905.

Hon. Herbert Putnam,
Library of Congress
Washington, D. C.

My dear Sir:-

Yesterday I conferred with Senator Platt of Connecticut regarding your suggestion that Congress by resolution authorize you to call a conference to consider a codification of the copyright law. Senator Platt is strongly opposed to the appointment of a commission and also thinks it improper for Congress to authorize you to call this conference. I have taken this matter up with the members of the Patent Committee and we have agreed that Senator Platt’s conclusion is …

The Negotiable Instruments Law With Annotations, Robert E. Bunker Jan 1905

The Negotiable Instruments Law With Annotations, Robert E. Bunker

Books

"The Negotiable Instruments Law was enacted by the Legislature of Michigan at its 1905 session and on this 16th day of September, 1905, becomes a law of the State.

Soon after the approval of the Act -- June 16, 1905, -- I undertook the work of annotating the statute and of explaining its origin, scope and purpose in such particulars as seemed to invite explanation....

I submit the result of my work -- undertaken in the hope that it might help the profession and the bankers and the business men in dealing with this statute -- to all who may …


Examination Of The Medical Expert, Harry B. Hutchins Jan 1905

Examination Of The Medical Expert, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The expert witness differs essentially from the ordinary witness in at least two particulars; first, in that the field of his testimony is outside the range of ordinary knowledge and experience; and, secondly, in that his testimony in the great majority of cases is in the form of opinions or conclusions that are deemed necessary for the proper guidance of the jury. It goes without saying that the 'lawyer who undertakes the examination of the expert should have such familiarity with the subject of inquiry as will enable him to develop it through the expert logically and clearly, but unfortunately …

The Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1905

The Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

It is a general principle, of very wide application, that a municipal corporation, in the absence of a statute, is not obliged to undertake the execution of governmental functions respecting the health, peace or property of its citizens. Nor is such corporation liable for the insufficient or negligent execution of such functions in case it undertakes to perform them. The ground of this exemption is that the municipality, in these matters, exercises discretionary powers conferred upon it by the state, and acts, not for itself in its corporate capacity, but for the general public as an agent of the central …

Articles

The recent refusal of the Senate to ratify eight general arbitration treaties which the President had concluded with Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Mexico,' and Norway and Sweden, until, against the protest of the President, it had modified them materially by amendment, has called public attention to the treaty-making power, and has raised the question as to whether or not any of that power is vested in the Senate.

Federal License Or National Incorporation, Horace Lafayette Wilgus Jan 1905

Federal License Or National Incorporation, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

The message of President Roosevelt and the Report of Mr. Garfield as Commissioner of Corporations, if we are not mistaken, have done, or will do, more than all the discussion of the past several years to clear the vision of the people as to what is necessary and possible to do in the way of meeting and overcoming our industrial and commercial corporation difficulties.

Exit Of Doctrine Of Situs, John R. Rood

Articles

A decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States on the 8th day of last May seems to mark the elimination of the doctrine of situs as a jurisdictional question in garnishment and attachment proceedings in the United States. Justices Harlan and Day dissented, and yet there is little danger that the question will again be opened; and in view of the conclusion reached, all lovers of plain, simple justice will rejoice that at last that disturber of peace and worker of iniquity in the commercial world has been deprived of its power to make the honest debtor …

The Old Common Law And The New Trusts, Ditlew M. Frederiksen Dec 1904

The Old Common Law And The New Trusts, Ditlew M. Frederiksen

Michigan Law Review

T HE Civil Code of Porto Rico, our latest Roman American code, gives interesting proof of the fact that the two systems of law, the Roman and the English, which control most of the nations of the civilized world and their dependencies, are, in their essence, but slightly different enunciations of the same principles of natural justice. The parent of the Civil Code of Porto Rico1 is the Spanish Civil Code,2 in force in Spain since May I, 1889, and extended to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines on July 31, 1889. The Spanish Civil-Code is the result of the …
