The death of Lombroso has led to many attempts to appraise the value of his laborious career and not the least interesting of these is the article in the April number of the Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation on the Death of Lombroso. [...] 476 of the Criminal Procedure Code means the Judge before whom the alleged offence has been comitted or to whose notice the commission of the alleged offence has been brought in the course of a judicial proceeding" ? As under the rules of the Court the whole case had to be referred to the Special Bench and as there was a conflict of decisions on another quetion which also arose in the case [...] 2 and 3 in that suit claimed to be the heirs and legal representatives of the deceased and the Plaintiff in the present suit who was the paramour of Ichchamoyee came forward and produced a Will which he said was the Will of Ichchamoyee and claimed to be entitled to rpresent Ichchamoyee in that suit on the ground that he was the executor and sole legatee under the Will. [...] The question which arose in the appeal was as to the validity of the acts of a de facto guardian in alienating the estate of a minor married Hindu female during the minority of her legal guardian the husband. [...] The Plaintiffs purchased the 6 annas share of the tank and high land round it from the minor's huband who had come of age on the 5th Bhadra 1312 with the permission of the District Judge obtained on the allegation that the grandmother had allowed the rents of the minor's property to fall into arrears and it was necessary to pay them off.
