Interest On Claims In Receivership Proceedings, Ralph E. Clark

Michigan Law Review

Outside the cases of receivership, the Supreme Court of the United States has said: "We reach the conclusion that whatever may have been the English and early American rule, the tendency in Virginia as elsewhere in this country, is to allow interest on contracts to pay money from the date that the debt becomes due."'

Adoption - Right to Inherit from Foster Parents Not Lost by Readoption by Natural Father - In an adopted child's action against the natural children of foster parents and their assigns for the partition of real estate, where it appeared that the child had been re-adopted by the natural father, and where it appeared that she had stood by while the natural children sold the property to the co-defendants, it was held that the right to inherit from the foster parents was not lost by the readoption by the natural father and that she was nct estopped to assert her …

The Constitution And Nationalism, Henry M. Bates

Articles

Dean Bates comments on the alarming trend of nationalism in America: "Blind indeed must he be who supposes that our legal and political institutions can escape profound modification by those great changes in commercial, industrial, political and social conditions which, in part, were caused by the world war, but were greatly intensified by it.... No intelligent person, who has any knowledge of history and of the protection which local government has always given to human freedom, can fail to feel a deep and at times shuddering sense of apprehension at the rapidity with which we are massing our governmental power …

Bills and Notes - "Fictitious Payee" - Payee a Person Not Intended to Have Any Interest - A member of a firm, authorized to sign the firm's name, made checks payable to an existing association, which he did not intend should ever gain possession of or have any interest in such checks, merely for the purpose of obtaining money for himself, which he did by unlawfully indorsing the association's name to the checks. The plaintiff firm now seek to recover the amount of the checks, charged to their account by the defendant bank, and the defense is that the payee …

Development Of The Doctrine Of Impossibility Of Performance, William Herbert Page

Michigan Law Review

In common with other systems of law, Anglo-American law has grown in part by the use of analogies; and in part, by receptions from other systems of law.

Book Reviews, Hessel Edward Yntema, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

To Joseph Story goes the credit of having introduced to American and to English law that field which he, following Ulric Huber, denominated the conflict of laws. It should not, however, be forgotten that behind Story lay at least six centuries of continental criticism upon which he drew for his materials. And it should be of peculiar interest to those trained in the Common Law to have pointed out the extent to which this most controversial of subjects was from the outset influenced by the practice of the courts. In the present monograph, originally written in celebration of the seventy …

Joinder Of Actions, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

There is a further striking failure which must be charged to the legal profession in America, which grows out of the one just noted, and that is its ignorance of and indifference to improvements in procedural practice developed in other jurisdictions. It is safe to say that if a new method of treating cancer were discovered and successfully employed in England; every intelligent doctor in the world would almost immediately know about it and attempt to take advantage of it. But it is equally safe to say that if a new and successful method of treating some procedural problem were …

Freedom Of Speech And Of The Press In The Federalist Period The Sedition Act, Thomas F. Carroll

Michigan Law Review

The constitutional problem to which the Espionage Act of 1917 gave rise is almost as old as the Government itself. As early as 1798 the constitutional authority of the Government over speech ,and the press was called into question. The controversy caused by the Sedition Act of that date forms the subject of this paper.

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

IN one respect, at least, the Peace of Versailles is unlike any of the great European settlements of earlier date. The provisions included to ensure the execution of its terms are vastly more ambitious in scope and more elaborate in detail than anything of the kind contained in earlier treaties. There is an extraordinary emphasis upon organization for the enforcement of peace.

Law Of Oil And Gas, James A. Veasey

Michigan Law Review

No thoughtful observer will presume to gainsay the all-important part which the oil business plays and will continue to play in the industrial, commercial and social life of the civilized world. Long before the great war this fact was deeply impressive, and was generally recognized. At the end of that conflict it was said with much truth that the Allies had floated to victory upon a sea of oil. Now, standing as we are at the threshold of a new era rich in industrial and commercial promise, no man can foresee nor even approximate the mighty expansion which will characterize …

Accretion - Title to New Land - Encroachment of Watercourse Upon Lands Beyond - D's lands were bounded on the east by a river and on the west by the land of P.

The river then slowly receded and the land of P was built up as was also new land east of the former boundary of P and D. P brings an action to quiet title for the land newly formed. Held, title to the land in dispute …

The Negotiable Instruments Law Annotated by Joseph Doddridge Brannon, Professor of Law Emeritus, in Harvard University. Third Edition. The W. H. Anderson Company, Cincinnati, 1920, pp. lxvi, 662. That this is the third edition of this compilation, indicates a favorable reception by law book buyers. In this case the demand should not be confinned to lawyers, for the book would be of particular value to bankers and others of the lay world who have to deal with commercial paper. And for such readers, who seek practical information as to the characteristics and qualities of particular instruments as affected by the …

Writs Vs Rights An Unended Contest, Lyman P. Wilson

Michigan Law Review

It is desired in the following pages, even at the expense of repeajing much that is already common knowledge, to emphasize that as yet we are not done with the formulary system of the common law, despite the fact that codes of civil procedure in most of our states have purported to end the varied and interesting career of forms of action at common law by legislating them out of existence. However, that legislative edict has been about as effecttive as was the famous, but probably mythical, order of King Canute to the waves of the sea. Certain well-known illustrations …
